Send us a textIn this episode of The Bearded Mystic Podcast, host Rahul N Singh delves into the concept of shadow work and its importance in the journey toward self-realization and enlightenment. He argues that shadow work must be done before enlightenment to prepare the mind for understanding one's true nature. Rahul discusses the four prerequisites required for spiritual growth and sheds light on how shadow work helps in recognizing and dealing with unconscious patterns, emotional attachments, and psychological shadows. He explores the role of discernment, detachment, mastery of senses, and the desire for liberation in overcoming these shadows. By integrating Advaita Vedanta teachings, the podcast provides a comprehensive guide to dealing with inner turmoil and recognizing the true self that exists beyond the mind's narratives.00:00 Introduction to The Bearded Mystic Podcast00:13 Understanding Shadow Work02:02 The Role of Vivek in Spirituality05:40 Dealing with Psychological Shadows08:01 Practicing Detachment13:33 Mastering the Mind and Senses19:10 Withdrawing from Distractions22:16 Enduring Pain and Discomfort23:35 Expressing and Managing Anger25:54 Faith in the Teachings and Path26:48 Inner Focus and Stillness28:12 Desire for Liberation29:58 Practical Scenarios and Responses36:34 The Importance of Shadow Work41:07 Final Thoughts and ConclusionJoin our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/hnRf7wESwX Visit my website: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/Buy The Bearded Mystic Podcast Merch: https://thebeardedmysticpodcast.myshopify.com/Want a one-on-one spiritual discussion with The Bearded Mystic - book here: https://www.thebeardedmysticpodcast.com/p/spiritual-discussion/Subscribe to The Bearded Mystic Podcast channel: https://www.youtube.com/ @TheBeardedMysticPodcastBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/thebeardedmysticpodcastRahul on Bluesky:  https://bsky.app/profile/beardedmystic.bsky.socialSupport the show

“It could not by itself stop the advance of M23 without a strong Congolese army. And my sense is that it was not SADC that failed, but the Congolese army that failed.” Since December 2023, troops from SADC - the Southern African Development Community - have been taking part in a mission in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo tasked with supporting the Congolese army and protecting civilians and infrastructure. They included soldiers from Malawi, Tanzania and South Africa.But then in January, rebels from the M23 group made lightning advances across the region – taking key towns including the capital Goma. A number of SADC troops were killed in the fighting. And last week, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa announced a ‘phased withdrawal'.So is this a sign that the mission has failed? And what will it mean for the government and people of the DRC? Presenter: Alan @kasujja Guests: Rear Admiral (JG) Prince Tshabalala, Thierry Bashala (businessman) and Dr. Claude Kabemba, the CEO of Southern Africa Resource Watch.

Prayer is critical to any mission, as exemplified by Jesus and the early church.

Humiliating the president of Ukraine in the Oval Office. Admonishing European leaders about migration and free speech. Voting alongside Russia against a UN resolution to condemn the invasion of Ukraine. Withdrawing from the World Health Organization and UN Human Rights Council. They are all signs from the Trump administration that point to a massive shift in America's foreign policy and alignment with the very “rules-based” international order the U.S. led after WWII.But how did the world order as we know it come to be? And if it comes to an end, what could the future look like? Dominic Sandbrook, co-host of The Rest is History, takes us through the last 70 years of global politics and how we got to this turning point. For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

Four categories are recognized under current regulations to qualify as an Eligible Designated Beneficiary (EDB). These include the surviving spouse, minor children of the decedent, a disabled or chronically ill individual as assessed at the time of the decedent's passing, and other individuals who are no more than ten years younger than the deceased account owner. If you fall into one of these categories, you'll be afforded more time and flexibility than Non-Eligible Designated Beneficiaries. This is due to recent regulatory changes, underscored by The Secure Act, altering the landscape of inherited IRAs. Outline of This Episode [00:00] The complexities and benefits of being an eligible designated beneficiary (EDB) for inheriting an IRA. [03:34] Eligible designated beneficiaries have two key advantages: more time and flexibility in inheritance. [08:21] Withdrawing from an IRA before age 59 incurs a 10% penalty and income tax; RMDs depend on age, starting at 73 for most people. [10:10] The stretch IRA avoids a 10% penalty by basing RMDs on life expectancy.  [15:46] Timing distributions strategically can reduce tax liability. Wait until retirement to avoid high tax brackets.  [18:01] Evaluate options carefully when inheriting an IRA, considering tax implications and future changes. ***********

Journalist Alex Newman is the single most knowledgeable person we know on pressing global issues, from national politics to the UN and globalism. Newman is the perfect guest to have interviewed the day after President Trump's February 4 press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel.   Adding to Newman's enormous relevance, on the day of our interview with him, President Trump's White House released the Presidential Executive order “Withdrawing the United States from and Ending Funding to Certain United Nations Organizations and Reviewing United States Support to all International Organizations.” Alex Newman is the expert on the evils of the UN.   These events, Trump's press conference with Netanyahu and Trump's orders to remove the US from some of the worst UN agencies, made our interview with Alex Newman a feast of highly controversial and extremely important issues on an existential level for the survival and eventual thriving of both the U.S. and Israel.   President Trump continues to amaze us as he truly fulfills his promises to put America and its citizens first, defying and working to eliminate an infestation of government boondoggles and corruption. Then, on the evening of February 4, 2025, Trump went further in his daring joint press conference with the Premier of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, and embraced a new beginning in the Middle East in which the two leaders joined hands to leap beyond the chains of the UN, Muslim terrorists, and globalism to seek solutions that could work for anyone and everyone who wants peace.   Minutes before the press conference, I published a substack column, “How a Powerful Alliance Between the US and Israel Could Doom Globalism—the Importance of Trump Meeting Netanyahu.” And a short time later, Trump and Netanyahu outdid themselves in proposals that at last bypass the global predators and their terrorist minions in deciding for themselves how to solve the never-ending crises associated with hate and violence churned up by Arab and Muslim nations and their terrorists against Israel and the U.S. It was exhilarating, outside the box, and a little scary—but their goals aimed at liberating the entire Middle East of the horrors it has endured from violent, radical Muslims for decades. The goal of stopping Iran and its terrorist groups requires taking over the problem and solving it.   The U.S. and Israel are capable of bringing peace provided they can bring Saudi Arabia and other Middle Eastern nations to stand with them against antisemitism, radical Islam, Iran, and Iran-sponsored terror groups. Trump was already building a peace movement in the Middle East with Israel and Saudi Arabia during his first Presidency, and now he approaches it as a much more determined and knowledgeable man, willing to reject compromise with violent killers acting under the color of the UN, Islam, Iran, and globalism.   The leftist press is already lying about what Trump said about Gaza at his amazing press conference. Watch the press conference for yourself. It is one of the most remarkably innovative and hopeful political events I've ever seen.   In this one-hour interview, Ginger and I unleash Alex Newman to share with us his very extensive and very brilliant analyses of what is going on with Trump and the UN, Trump and Isreal, and Trump's overall strategy to crush globalism before it crushes us. You'll hear a few brief gaps of silence after Alex Newman speaks, and we will remain speechless in response. Yes, it's that good an interview with that good a man!

Send us a textLet's dive into today and today's topic for The Daily Energize. Now, this topic comes from a question that was asked on our Jones and Four Live episode, I believe it was asked in episode two of season one.

What happens when your relationship with a client sours? When, and how, can you fire a client? And how can you avoid getting to that point? Guest Michael LeBoff is a veteran litigator who has worked with a variety of clients over his 25-year career.  LeBoff explains that client issues are, in most case, simply a matter of communication, payment, or a client's frustration with the legal system. The system is complicated, cases take time, and costs may surprise unprepared clients. A lot of this is about managing client expectations. For instance, if a case is held up in a court calendar, communicate to your client that you're still on the case and let them know what's going on. But despite all efforts, sometimes things simply don't work out and you may need to fire a client. It could be over slow payments or because a client has pushed you to behave unethically. Withdrawing from a case has its complications, ethical considerations, and Bar requirements. In these situations, it helps if you've documented everything in writing. That includes your strategy, desired outcomes, and costs.  Listen to this episode for best practices, how to protect yourself, and how to avoid minefields.

Kapha season is considered to be late winter and spring in Ayurveda, however, it's best to think of the qualities of the season as this is what determines whether it's kapha season. It's when there's cooler temperatures, the ground is saturated with rain or melting snow and the air is heavy with humidity. Having the understanding and awareness of the qualities which are present in our natural environment and our body/mind can help guide us in our food and lifestyle choices which can in turn prevent imbalances and illness. Some signs of excess kapha dosha are: Colds, coughs, flu, allergies with mucus and congestion Agni mandya (slow digestion) Feeling heavy and sluggish after eating Water retention Weight gain Lethargy and oversleeping Inertia or lack of motivation Slowness in all activities Foggy mind Feeling sad or depressed Withdrawing from social activities.

On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed executive orders to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Paris Agreement. As reasons for withdrawing from the WHO, Trump cited the political influence of member states and unfair contribution expectations of the United States, further alleging that the health group had mishandled the Covid-19 pandemic and other health emergencies. The president stated that the Paris Agreement also put unfair burdens on the United States, removing the U.S. from the international compact for the second time after President Joe Biden undid Trump's withdrawal order from his first term. Both withdrawals will require one year to take effect, though federal health agencies have been ordered to stop working with the WHO immediately.Ad-free podcasts are here!Many listeners have been asking for an ad-free version of this podcast that they could subscribe to — and we finally launched it.

US President Donald Trump has begun his promised flurry of executive action on Day 1. With his first batch of memoranda and orders, Trump repealed dozens of former President Joe Biden's actions and withdrew the US from the Paris climate accords, among other actions. He also said he's pardoned hundreds of people for their roles in the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, the AP reported.据美联社报道，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在其上任首日便开始兑现承诺，采取了一系列行政行动。特朗普通过首批备忘录和命令，废除了前总统乔·拜登的数十项举措，并宣布美国退出《巴黎气候协定》等。他还表示，已赦免数百名参与2021年1月6日美国国会大厦袭击事件的人员。Trump, meanwhile, has additional executive orders awaiting his signature as he returns to the White House for the first time since his swearing-in earlier in the day. Those documents would end diversity, equity and inclusion funding, crack down on border crossings and ease regulations on oil and natural gas production. 与此同时，特朗普在当天早些时候宣誓就职后首次返回白宫时，还有其他行政命令等待他签署。这些文件将终止“多元化、公平性和包容性”计划资金，打击非法越境行为，并放宽石油和天然气生产的监管。Quitting Paris climate deal退出《巴黎气候协定》The White House said Monday that Donald Trump, who was inaugurated as the 47th US president, will pull the US out of the Paris climate accord, Xinhua reported.据新华社报道，1月20日，白宫表示，宣誓就任美国第47任总统的唐纳德·特朗普将带领美国退出《巴黎气候协定》。The move, expected in an executive order Trump will sign later in the day, is part of the president's effort to "MAKE AMERICA AFFORDABLE AND ENERGY DOMINANT AGAIN," read the statement.该声明称，特朗普将在当天晚些时候签署的一项行政命令中采取这一行动，这是总统为“让美国再次负担得起并实现能源主导”所做努力的一部分。The first Trump administration officially let the United States, one of the world's top emitters of greenhouse gases, exit the Paris climate accord in November 2020, dealing a major blow to international efforts combating the climate crisis. The upcoming executive order by Trump will mark another round of back-and-forth move regarding US commitment to dealing with climate change on the global stage, per Xinhua report.特朗普第一任政府曾在2020年11月正式让美国退出《巴黎气候协定》，而该国是全球温室气体排放量最高的国家之一，这给国际应对气候危机的努力造成重大打击。据新华社报道，特朗普即将签署的行政命令将标志着美国在全球舞台上应对气候变化的承诺再次陷入反复。"The US withdrawing from the Paris Agreement is unfortunate, but multilateral climate action has proven resilient and is stronger than any single country's politics and policies," said Laurence Tubiana, a key architect of the accord. UN climate chief Simon Stiell added the "door remains open" for Washington, France 24 reported.“美国退出《巴黎协定》是不幸的，但多边气候行动已经证明其具有韧性，且比任何一个国家的政治和政策都要强大，”该协定的主要设计者劳伦斯·图比亚纳说道。据法国24新闻台报道，联合国气候事务负责人西蒙·斯蒂尔补充说，面向华盛顿的“大门仍然敞开”。Additionally, Trump plans to declare an energy emergency as he promises to "drill, baby, drill," and says he will eliminate what he calls Biden's electric vehicle mandate, the AP reported.据美联社报道，特朗普还计划宣布进入能源紧急状态，承诺“开采吧，宝贝，开采吧”，并表示将废除他所谓的“拜登的电动汽车强制令”。Withdrawing from WHO退出世界卫生组织President Trump moved quickly on Monday to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization, a move that public health experts say will undermine the nation's standing as a global health leader and make it harder to fight the next pandemic, the New York Times reported.据《纽约时报》报道，1月20日，特朗普迅速采取行动，让美国退出世界卫生组织。公共卫生专家表示，此举将损害美国在全球卫生领域的领导地位，并使抗击下一场大流行病变得更加困难。In an executive order issued about eight hours after he took the oath of office, Trump cited a string of reasons for the withdrawal, including the WHO's "mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic," and the "failure to adopt urgently needed reforms." 特朗普在宣誓就职约8小时后就发布了一项行政命令，其中列举了退出世卫组织的多个原因，包括世卫组织“对新冠肺炎疫情处理不当”，以及“未能实施急需的改革”。Tariffs and inflation 关税与通货膨胀On Monday evening, Trump also signed a largely symbolic memorandum that he described as directing every federal agency to combat consumer inflation. By repealing Biden actions, Trump also is trying to ease regulatory burdens on oil and natural gas production, something he promises will help bring down costs of all consumer goods. Trump specifically wants to make it easier to extract fossil fuels in Alaska, the AP reported.1月20日晚上，特朗普还签署了一份主要具有象征意义的备忘录，他表示该备忘录旨在指示所有联邦机构打击消费者通货膨胀。通过废除拜登的政策，特朗普还试图减轻石油和天然气生产方面的监管负担，他承诺这将有助于降低所有消费品的成本。据美联社报道，特朗普特别希望在阿拉斯加州开采化石燃料变得更容易。On trade, the president said he expects to impose 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico starting on February 1, but declined to flesh out his plans for taxing Chinese imports, according to the AP.据美联社报道，在贸易方面，特朗普表示预计从2月1日起对加拿大和墨西哥征收25%的关税，但拒绝详细说明他对中国进口商品的征税计划。However, CNN said in a fact check article that "In his inaugural address, Trump said, 'Instead of taxing our citizens to enrich other countries, we will tariff and tax foreign countries to enrich our citizens.' But this description of tariffs is false. Tariffs imposed by the US government are paid by US importers, not foreign countries."然而，美国有线电视新闻网在一篇事实核查文章中称，“特朗普在就职演说中说：‘我们不会向本国公民征税来使其他国家富裕，而是对外国征收关税和税款，让我们的公民富裕起来。'但这种对关税的描述是错误的。美国政府征收的关税由美国进口商支付，而非外国”。End Biden-era border policies终结拜登时代的边境政策Trump has issued broad pushback to former president Biden's immigration policies, vowing to use his first day in office to "terminate every open-borders policy of the Biden administration," according to NBC. 据美国全国广播公司报道，特朗普对前总统拜登的移民政策表示强烈反对，誓言将在上任首日“终止拜登政府的所有开放边境政策”。Trump also said during a New Hampshire campaign event in October that he would "use Title 42," a public health law that was implemented toward the start of the COVID-19 crisis and allowed the White House to deport migrants faster. The law was continued partway through the Biden administration but the government stopped using it in 2023, NBC reported.特朗普还在十月新罕布什尔州竞选活动中表示，他将“启用《第42条》”，这是一项在新冠肺炎疫情初期实施的公共卫生法律，允许白宫加速驱逐移民。据美国全国广播公司报道，该法律在拜登政府执政期间一度继续生效，但在2023年已被停止使用。The AP reported that Trump declared a national emergency at the US-Mexico border, and he plans to send US troops to help support immigration agents and restrict refugees and asylum. He's also pledged to restart a policy that forced asylum seekers to wait over the border in Mexico, but officials didn't say whether Mexico would accept migrants again. During the previous effort, squalid and fetid camps grew on the border and were marred by gang violence. Trump is also promising to end birthright citizenship, but it's unclear how he'd do it—it's enshrined in the US Constitution.据美联社报道，特朗普宣布美国与墨西哥边境进入国家紧急状态，并计划派遣美军协助移民局人员，限制难民和庇护申请。他还承诺重启一项政策，迫使寻求庇护者在墨西哥边境等待，但官员们没有说明墨西哥是否会再次接受移民。在之前的行动中，边境上出现了肮脏恶臭的营地，并遭到帮派暴力的破坏。特朗普还承诺要废除出生公民权，但尚不清楚他将如何兑现——因为出生公民权已被写入美国宪法。Trump also is ending the CBP One app, a Biden-era border app that gave legal entry to nearly 1 million migrants, according to the AP.据美联社报道，特朗普还终止了CBP One应用程序，这是拜登时期推出的一款边境应用程序，曾为近100万移民提供合法入境的途径。squalidadj.极其肮脏的，污秽的fetidadj.恶臭的；腐臭的

Day two of class; the boys get tested.Based on the work of firebird68. listen to the Podcast on Steamy Stories “Hi, Samantha!” Sunny greeted as the black-haired girl entered the room. “How were your morning classes?”“Fine.” Samantha rasped, swiftly walking to her seat, and dropping her bag.“Oh, wow.” Sunny came to stand next to her desk. “You sound terrible! What's wrong?”“Oh, I don't know!” Samantha snapped, turning to face Tanner. “Maybe it's because SOMEONE fucked the ever-living shit out of my throat yesterday.”Tanner just shrugged and lounged in his seat.“Guilty.” He said in a bored tone.“And someone else, held me down while he did it!” she directed this to Andrea.“Oh, stuff it, Morticia!” Andrea retorted. “I just did what I was told to do.”“Yeah, well, it's your turn today, missy.” Samantha grinned fiendishly. “I hope you get the same treatment. I'll even volunteer to hold you down.”She shrunk in her seat and put on a mockingly sweet tone.“Oh, please, Miss Banks! Let me pin Andrea down while she gets her throat reamed out! I would absolutely love to keep her still for you. Will I get extra credit for this?”Andrea just rolled her eyes, but a cold pit was forming in her stomach as she was further reminded that she was, in fact, going to be giving her blowjob first thing today. She maintained her poise and confident exterior, but on the inside, her nerves were tangling themselves in knots, hoping and praying that she didn't get the 'Samantha fuckdown'.Chris and Daniel were the last to enter the classroom. Daniel reached into his bag and pulled out a book, walking it over to Samantha.“You left this in comp class.” He said, placing it on her desk.“Thanks.” She muttered.“Jesus, are you sick or something?” Chris asked. “Why is you voice so sore?”Samantha threw up her hands, exasperated, and curled her fist in front of her face, miming a vigorous blowjob in answer.“Lemon tea and honey!” Sunny snapped her fingers. “I was trying to remember what it was. When I was first starting out with deepthroating, my voice would get all hoarse, too. I found that lemon tea with a tablespoon of honey will fix it right up.”“How am I not surprised that you have a remedy for something like that?” Andrea sniffed.“Well, duh, because I didn't want to be sounding like I'm on my third pack of cigarettes every day.” Sunny replied.Andrea just shook her head in awe of Sunny's airheaded attitude and wondered how someone like her ever managed to get good grades back in high school. Before she could make the rude suggestion that Sunny must be sucking off all her teachers, the door opened, and Miss Banks walked in.“Good morning, class.” She said, setting her briefcase down on the desk. “How's everyone today?”The students all echoed greetings as Miss Banks did a quick headcount to make sure everyone was present.“And Miss Samantha?” she turned to the girl. “How are you feeling this morning?”“Fantastic.” Samantha replied, her voice gravelly.“Great.” Miss Banks smiled. “Well, yesterday I gave the girls an initial examination to test their abilities. Today, I will be testing the boys. But first, of course, before we begin, Andrea, we ran out of time for you to go yesterday so you will be up first today. I'm just waiting for…Oh! Here he is. Perfect, right on time.”A knock came at the door and Miss Banks hurried over to open it. A man entered the room, dressed in a suit and tie. He was tall and handsome, clearly muscular beneath his attire. Some neatly trimmed scruff covered his chin, giving him a rugged businessman appearance.“Great timing!” Miss Banks said. “Glad you were able to make it. Class, this is Rick Boulder. Does anyone happen to know who that is?”She looked around the room, raising an eyebrow when David slowly lifted his hand.“David?” She called on him.“He's a pornstar.” David offered, looking somewhat sheepish.“Very good!” Miss Banks praised. “Yes, I'm sure most of you have seen his performances online. Rick isn't his real name, but that's the pseudonym he uses when in a professional capacity, such as today. As someone in the sexual education industry, I have numerous contacts with on-screen talent and behind the scenes workers in the porn world. Rick has generously volunteered his time today to help us out.”She turned and fixed her gaze on Andrea, who shrunk a bit in her seat.“Miss Andrea.” She addressed her. “Please join us at the front of the room.”Swallowing nervously, Andrea rose from her seat and went to the front to stand there, her hands clasped in front of her.“You'll be performing your examination on Rick.” Miss Banks explained. “I need the male students to be ready for their test afterwards. Go ahead, Rick.”Rock removed his suit jacket and loosened his tie, laying them both on the desk. Unbuttoning his cuffs, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped up to Andrea. Andrea looked up at the imposing man towering her and hesitated, making Miss Banks frown.“Go on, Andrea.” She chastised. “Don't make our guest wait all day. We have much to get done today. Get on your knees.”She strode up behind the girl and put her hands on Andrea's shoulders, gently pushing her down to her knees and joining her by dropping to her knees behind her.“There.” She said. “Now unzip his pants and get started.”Andrea forced her hands to move and fumbled around the crotch of his pants, grasping the zipper and pulling it down. Chewing on the inside of her cheek, she reached her small hand through the opening of his pants and boxers and fished around until her fingers closed on his penis. Bringing it out into the light, her heart sank as she beheld the size of it. It wasn't even hard, yet she could tell it was massive. It gradually grew to life in her fingers until it was at the intimidating size of about ten inches in length, and nearly as thick as her wrist.“Good.” Miss Banks encouraged. “Does he feel fully engorged?”Andrea nodded. She could feel her teacher's large breasts pushing into her back.“All right.” Miss Banks continued. “Then put it in your mouth.”Leaning forward, Andrea tentatively stuck out her tongue, touching it to the tip of Rick's cock. A bead of pre-cum emerged and dripped down onto her tongue. Andrea recoiled, but was surprised to find that the taste wasn't all that terrible at all. Swallowing it down, she leaned back in and wrapped her lips around his head. She could feel Miss Banks soft breath against her ear, watching intently just over her shoulder.“Keep going. A little deeper and add some suction.” She instructed.Andrea moved in, taking more between her lips. She did as she was told and applied some suction to the movement. She didn't really have a reference for this, having never given a blowjob, so she just pretended as though she were trying to drink a thick milkshake through a straw. Of course, in this instance, the milkshake in question was considerably warmer and much more protein rich. She bobbed her head over the tip of Rock's penis, doing her best to perform as she had seen other girls do.“Don't forget to use your hands.” Miss Banks reminded her. “If you can't deepthroat your partner, utilize your hands to manually stimulate the rest of him. Understood?”Andrea nodded with his cock still in her mouth and timidly reached up to wrap her fingers around him. Her slim digits barely managed to encircle his thick girth, making her confidence waver. His size greatly intimidated her. She had only taken the head, but her tiny mouth was almost completely stuffed by that alone. Steeling herself, she pushed forward and slid her lips further down him.She managed to get two inches in before her mouth was full, and the tip was threatening to trip her gag reflex. Her eyes flicked up to Rick's face, which had remained expressionless throughout, before returning her focus and resuming her beginner head-bobbing motion. She knew that she wasn't going to be anywhere near as good as someone like Sunny, that slut, but maybe she could at least keep this from taking all day if she put her back into it.“You're not stroking. Don't simply hold onto him, you need to put some motion into your hand, as well.” Miss Banks said. “Like this.”She reached her arm around Andrea and took hold of her wrist, guiding the teen girl in stroking her hand along the remainder of his length, which was the vast majority of it. After a few strokes, Miss Banks let go of Andrea's wrist, nodding in satisfaction when the girl kept up the action in her absence. Andrea began multitasking, working her hand in tandem with her mouth. Determined, she pushed a bit deeper and taking another half inch past her lips, but immediately flinched and gagged when the tip tickled her uvula.Withdrawing to cough, she sniffled and blinked the forming tears back, before moving in to recapture the head. She worked as best as she could, but refrained from pushing any deeper than two inches, fearful of choking again. As the minutes ticked by, Andrea's jaw and arm started getting increasingly tired. After ten minutes, Miss Banks could tell that this was getting nowhere and tapped Andrea on the shoulder, signaling her to stop.“Okay, we have a clear baseline.” She noted. “You're definitely as beginner as they come. We will have a lot of work to do in the coming semester. In the meantime, we can't waste the whole class on this, so I'll finish Rick off for a little demonstration. Move over and watch carefully, okay?”Andrea nodded, relieved that she was done, and shuffled to the side, clearing room for her teacher to move forward. In one smooth motion, she dipped her head down and captured the tip between her lips and swallowed it to the base. Andrea gaped in shock as the massive cock disappeared into her mouth and without so much as a peep from Miss Banks' gag reflex.Moaning and focusing on cumming as quickly as possible so that she could get on with her class, Rick dropped his hand to rest on her head. He thrust in gently to meet her movements, her nose connecting with his naval each time. Whenever she withdrew until the head was all that remained in her mouth, Andrea could see her nostrils flare slightly, denoting her expert breath control. It reminded the teen of an Olympic swimmer that perfectly timed their breaths while in the pool.Gripping his muscular gluts, Miss Banks pulled him into her on every stroke, drawing him closer and closer to completion. It didn't take long before Andrea saw his shaft flex and his balls twitch, signaling his orgasm. Feeling the first shot of cum splash against her tongue, Miss Banks quickly swallowed it and then buried the whole shaft down her throat. She expertly worked her throat muscles to draw out every last drop of jizz that he had to give to her, sending it straight into her stomach. When his orgasm finally petered out, she slowly pulled back, her lips sealed tightly to clean him along the way, and finished by sucking on his head, nursing the last drips from him, and swallowing them as well.When she released him from her lips, she looked perfect and proper. Andrea couldn't see any signs of the impressive deepthroating she had just performed. Her chin was completely dry of saliva and her makeup was free of tear streaks. Even her bright red lipstick was barely smudged. Rick pulled out a small mirror from his pocket and handed it to Miss Banks, who checked her appearance to be sure she was professional. Fixing one stray strand of brown hair that had escaped her tight bun, she handed the mirror back to him and rose, gesturing for Andrea to do the same.“I hope you were watching closely.” She told the girl. “I'll be working with you on your oral skills throughout the term. You need a lot of help in this department. You may return to your seat. Don't forget to thank our guest.”Andrea thanked Rick, who smiled kindly at her, and hurried back to her seat. Sunny leaned toward her when she sat down.“Wow, that was a huge cock!” she whispered.“I know. Shut up.” Andrea hissed back.“What did it taste like?” Sunny ignored her request. “Did you count how many ropes he pumped into Miss Banks? God, she is so good at that. I hope I'm that good one day.”“Yeah, I get it.” Andrea retorted. “You're a slut. Now shut up, please.”“Ladies.” They both straightened and closed their mouths as Miss Banks returned from showing Rick to the door. “Is there an issue?”“No, Miss Banks.” They spoke in tandem.“Good. In that case, it's time to move on to the boys. I want to get an idea of your stamina, so I will be giving all of you handjobs until completion. I don't expect you to last long. My skill is considerably higher than any girlfriend you'll ever have. However, this will give me a reference point for later in the semester. Tanner, since you went last yesterday, how about we start with you. Please join me.”Miss Banks walked behind her desk and retrieved her chair, wheeling it out into the open, patting it and indicating for him to sit. Tanner sat in the chair and waited as his teacher went back to her desk and opened a drawer, pulling out a plastic tube of lubricant. Returning to him, she swiveled the chair to give the class a side profile of the demonstration and knelt in front of him.“Girls, just because this is for the males, doesn't mean you can zone out.” She said. “I want you all paying close attention to what I do. Take notes if you need to. First off, I would recommend you all get something like this.”She held up the bottle of lube to show the class.“This is a flavored lubricant.” She explained. “Unless your partner requests to finish somewhere on your body, you should always be taking his load internally. In the case of a handjob, that means you are expected to swallow. A flavored lubricant is always preferable to unflavored. This one is strawberry, but you can purchase any flavor or brand of your choice.”Unzipping Tanner's pants and undoing his belt, she slid them down his legs until they were bunched around his calves, letting his growing cock spring into view. A low hum emanated from Sunny as she caught sight of it again, enamored by his nine-and-a-half-inch length. Miss Banks grasped his dick and hefted it straight up, pointing it towards the ceiling. Popping open the bottle of lube, she poured a generous portion onto his tip, watching as it cascaded down the sides of his erection.When she had enough, she began working her hand and spreading around the slippery, viscous fluid until it covered his whole shaft. Tanner grunted in pleasure when she began to stroke in earnest. True to her word, she was an extraordinary sexual talent. Her strong fingers squeezed him, riding the line between gentle and firm at just the right amount. Her hand slid up and down his length at a steady pace, caressing and rubbing him from tip to base. Each time she crested his head, her thumb swirled around it expertly before massaging his glans on the way back down.Reaching between his legs with her other hand, Miss Banks closed her fingers around his heavy balls and started to massage them as well. Her deft digits flitted around his orbs, fondling and squeezing them gently, making him groan. Her hands worked perfectly in tandem, never interfering with the work of the other. While one jacked and rubbed his stiff cock, the other manipulated his balls. She stopped squeezing both and alternated to one at a time, focusing on one first and then moving to the other shortly after.Changing up her method, she dropped his balls altogether and brought that hand to join the other on his penis. She closed both hands around his shaft and used them to simultaneously jack his length. All ten of her fingers skillfully rubbed along his skin, edging him closer to his climax. She twisted and rotated her hands in opposing directions as they rose and fell throughout the course of the handjob. She could feel his legs shaking and trembling as he tried to hold out as long as possible, but she knew it was only a matter of time. He had no chance to withstand her ministrations for much longer.Sure enough, a few minutes later, she spotted his balls twitch and hurriedly swooped down to capture the head of his cock in her mouth milliseconds before he erupted like a geyser into her. She stopped her twisting motion, opting for a simple jerking method as he came into her mouth. Continuously swallowing his load as he filled her mouth, her hands worked in unison to heighten his orgasm and draw as much cum as possible from his balls. His payload was copious and plentiful, impressing Miss Banks with its quantity as she quickly gulped it all down.When his climax began to falter and his shots became smaller and smaller until it was just a trickle, she slowed her hands down to no more than a crawl, careful not to overstimulate him, and ultimately stopping moving altogether. Her lips suctioned tightly around him, pulling every last drop of his orgasm out and sending it to join the rest in her stomach. With one final stroke from his base to his tip that squeezed the final bead of cum out and onto her tongue, she released him from her oral grip with a pop and let go of his wilting hard-on to glance at the clock.“Ten minutes.” She noted. “Almost eleven. Very impressive, Tanner. Not many men can last that long from my handjobs. Well done. Sunny.”The blonde broke her stare off of Tanner's dick and snapped her attention to her teacher.“Yes, Miss Banks.” She answered.“Go into the top left drawer of my desk.” She instructed. “There's a stack of hand towels in there. Take four and go back to Tanner's desk wi
