"Dry bob" is often associated with George Gordon, Lord Byron, who in Don Juan satirically linked the term to Robert Southey. But in fact "dry bob" existed well before Byron. It refers to "male coition without emission" -- or as Meat Loaf eloquently expressed it it, "all dressed up with nowhere to go."
Isn't the United States presently stuck with a painfully throbbing "dry bob"? Even before the Wall Street crisis there was immense undirected anger on the part of the prols -- perhaps even a genuine revolutionary impulse. The nomination of Sarah Palin brilliantly tapped into this. And now with the Wall Street crisis -- which everyone knows about and nobody understands -- the anger and confusion is much greater. However, there won't be a revolution, there can't be one, and there shouldn't be one. What should there be instead? No one knows. It's very frustrating. Why, it's a big ol' "dry bob."
Here's a video of a girl getting her hair bobbed. Fast forward to get through the garbage at the start and then it's kind of nice. A good example of a whole vast category of hair fetish videos --
Meat Loaf and Luciano Pavarotti sing a duet:
I thought dry bobs were a Chinese invention. In the Enlightened Sex Manual by David Deida, a current New Age text, Deida writes that men should not ejaculate frequently. They shd bypass ejaculation for greater pleasure. The male sexual athlete should also refrain from eating eggs, salt and meat. These foods intensify the need to ejaculate.

i believe that taoist and tantric doctrines discourage ejaculation -- but maybe it's supposed to be a choice rather than the inability which i see as characteristic of a dry bob "proprement dit."

Remember how in "Raging Bull" Jake LaMotta, when in training for a big fight, is not supposed to have sex with his wife? As though the man's sperm were to his power and strength what long hair is to Samson's.
