Of course.
I'm always reminded of one of the arguments forwarded for the naturist movement. Once thus relieved of attire, all are equalized.
Unfortunately for moi, t'ain't so. I sunburn in a New York minute, and the parts of me that ain't seen the sun fry even faster.

Hmm, You know, it's true those parts are more sun-sensitive. Start out with a New York thirty-seconder, then, and .. hmm.. let's see, .. through an open window, morning sun, around about 10:30 or so, that's a nice time.
I read that it's good to get the morning sun without sunscreen .. Vitamin D, I s'pose.
I burned a bit at the beach, yesterday .. it was worth it. I live in a lovely part of the world, y'know. I love being on the ocean, being able to go down anytime I like and listen to the waves hitting the rocky shore, watch them swirling around the larger rocks, breaking over reefs. It's the best place to write stuff. Even if it's garbage, it's still good garbage :)

I hope not. But I can see where you maybe should have put a warning up, for some people. I don't think there's a reason to get explicit though. I have lots of things I'd love to discuss, too, in detail, about sex, but I don't think this is the place. I mean, not for the details of exactly what you do .. but maybe it's okay. I don't know. I'm sure you'll be getting some opinions on this.

> Something about me seems to put men into defense mode. More when they're with their women, and women tend to be unfriendly towards me at first, when they get to know me, they're good.. that doesn't happen much, anymore, though. I've learned how to let myself come through enough, I've learned to be comfy with myself, and if a woman is stand-offish I can handle it well, now. I don't become angry or feel badly about myself. I used to. Now I just am learning, I guess, that not all men are potential enemies. Or something. Something that feels.. bad? Maybe men can be sweet, and kind, and humble .. there're so many insecure people out there. People are so mean to each other when they're insecure. They can be horrible. I guess, you know I think I've been around a lot of insecure men in my life. Too many. Never again. I can see them, now, a mile away, and I won't have anything to do with them. Even the nice ones.
I really think men are just people, like you or me. Some are good; some are not so good. Some are secure; some are less secure. Most men are good at times and bad at times, secure at times and insecure at other times. Just human.
Men are definitely not all potential enemies. Most of them are potential friends.
Men put on their pants one legs at a time, just like me or you. Of course they can be sweet and kind and humble... they're just people. I don't think they're a mystical Other... Women and men are far more alike than different. I’m convinced that part of learning to live with the opposite sex is to accept them as just as human as ourselves.

I apologize... I was totally out of line.
After 14 hrs of work, 8 cups of coffee, and a great job offer you'd think I'd just goto sleep. But instead I got slap happy and obnoxious. I felt high from the job offer and between that and the overtired state I am in after 11 straight days of work without a day off I was a total *ss.I thought about it all day today. I didn't even do stuff like that when I was drinking and drugging. I thought maybe I was manic, but no...just a goof ball... Sorry!
If its any consolation I overslept this morning and was late to work. Not from masturbating mind you which I never got to! But rather from jerking around (no pun intended) on the internet.

No...my old friend...I had a birthday party one night, and worked both saturday & sunday. I just was too tired (as you can now see the results!), and also maybe a little scared or trapped in some weird neurotic fear... I can't remember which, but I was tired and I often don't like to be social when I'm tired because I feel I need to 'seem' perfect. I'm nuts what can I say... I regret not following through though.

You're very funny. How on earth would you think that eight cups of coffee would allow you to sleep?
Of course you were punch-drunk. Who wouldn't be? And I suppose after reading all the Penthouse letters I've read, I'd have to say you're a pretty normal male just being all comfy cozy with yourself. :]

> I apologize... I was totally out of line.Y'know... I don't think it was really out of line. One of Susan's first questions on this thread was about what men think about during and after sex. You answered that, perhaps not entirely directly, but nevertheless your post gave an answer to the question. It was entertaining and not at all offensive. So give yourself a break.
Oh, and congratulations on the job offer!

interesting thread! Be really careful about doing it in public. Getting caught in a park is NOT fun! LOL
I have to admit, I have a constant sex drive, and often NEED to help myself out a couple of times a day. I don't know if it's because I take Maca and Damiana or not, but I think it surely helps. Also, self satisfaction seems to make me feel sexier. I guess because I fantasize and make things much more interesting than they often are. Not that my husband isn't interesting, but you know.....
Whatever, have fun with it!

I used to have a sex drive that was so high it was actually disturbing. Not just to me but to my partners. Now its just plain good! While I'm primarily depressed (Not currently) I also have had mild hypomanias. Prozac stimulated my sex drive initially (for a year or so). I had one girlfriend in college tell me I needed to start wearing condoms even though she was on the pill because we did it so much she felt like she was always wearing a wet diaper and needed to constantly change her underwear.

That's interesting, in that I've found diminshed sex drive as a result of meds something of a blessing as well. Fortunately my sexual side effects have not included impotence, so my wife's only complaint would be having to initiate things more often.
What's amusing to me is that my habits go on to some degree even in its absence. For instance, I still want to gaze at attractive women even absent the accompanying sexual response I "normally" would have.
Still, I wonder if the tradeoff between being less "distracted" by a sex drive and whatever that sex drive does for one's enjoyment of life is a net positive or not. I'm sufficiently apathetic about everything that it's hard to say.

Hi happy!
I'm sure it has to be the Damiana that makes me so frisky! I had to quit taking it for a few days because my hubby can't keep up! LOL
Yep, this is me, the real unadultered me - no pun intended! My sex life is a huge part of who I am, and if I didn't have the imagination to go with it, well then forget it! LOLJazzy

I am glad you are comfortable with your sexuality. I am too, and I think I am going through my sexual peak at 36, I just can't keep my hands off my husband and the mailman,and my T are looking so appealing to me! lol > You just crack me up! I wish we could be friends IRL. I live in the Midwest, where do you live?
Oh by the way, I had a very embarressing moment this weekend! My son(9) walked into my husband having sex. And no, I can't have the scared child, who runs away. He had to say, "what, you guys are naked! " I guess he learned about the birds and the bees the hard way. I will never forget it. My husband talked about it later, and you wouldn't believe what questions he had about it. Oh my! I am still red in the face, and I don't embarrass easily! lol

But my five year-old daughter has some particularly interesting questions, which she likes to ask loudly in the supermarket. My personal favourites:
1. Mummy, when two men have sex, do they tie their penises together?
2. Mummy, what is that thing in your drawer that looks like handcuffs?(My answers were: 1. "No"; and 2. "I don't know what you mean, sweetie..." But sadly, the questions didn't stop there...)

I guess I have been getting off easy, or, umm, you know what I mean! lol> My son saw my husband bum going up and down and was wondering why he was doing that! lol Oh, my, and you should have seen him look at me and my husband after he talked to him. The look was priceless! I think he will need therapy, soon! lol My husband told him, well you have seen people making love on tv (not porn), and my son said, yeah, but they had their clothes still one! lol What a moment!
And about the my sexy mailman! Oh, I am not kidding he is like a ice cream sundae! He is nicely built, dark tan, wears those sexy mailman shorts, ohhhhh, if I had a choice I would pick him over my T! lol Dark hair, sunglasses, and I just know he wants me, you know! lol My last mailpeople were either female, or old men, but wow!

Hi everyone.
I had friend sex for 5 years. It was passionate for me and him. Maybe it was because it was kept secret from all our mutual friends.

Yes, that would be wonderful, I think. Mmmhmm. I could see that, for me. Definitely, it would be fun. And exciting. So tell me, how did you know the man? Besides in the carnal way.
