Get the Spinning Timbo mug.A timbo is a sexual position unparalleled in greatness. It occurs when a man is lying down on a bed and a woman mounts his member. She then places a firm grip on an above-hanging ceiling fan, as the fan spins, the woman will spin also. She maintains intercourse while spinning, which causes extreme pleasure for both parties.
Yo me and my girl were going at it all night long. I hit that shit doggy style, missionary, but when she grabbed that ceiling fan for the timbo, I couldn't hold back and popped right in that.
