Several weeks ago I had a fun overnight getaway with a Twitter friend. No, you didn’t miss the post, I didn’t write about it at all.  Anyway, when I got home I of course told Veronica about the fun times we had, answering her questions with as much (or as little) detail as she wanted to know.

One thing was very clear to her- my friend and I had a lot of sex in the short amount of time we had together.  If I have a limited amount of time with a friend I don’t get to see as often I would like, chances are we’re going to do our best to have as much sex as possible. After all, that’s a big reason why we’re spending time together, right?

Something Veronica said struck me and made me a little sad

“I wish we could go away and have sex like that”

The reality is, we rarely have the chance to fuck for hours at a time.  Even if we do get away, real life always somehow interferes. The day-to-day routine of work, kids, household stuff, etc often leaves us lacking in quality time together, not just naked quality time either.  Sure, we have date night once in a while, which is fun, but it’s not quite the same, real life discussions inevitably work their way into the conversation and distracts us.

There’s more to what I’m thinking about here, the difference between explorations of 2 new partners vs 2 people who have been together for 2+ decades and how that effects the “type” of sex they have, but I’m having trouble finding the words describe it.

By no means am I dissatisfied with my sex life with Veronica, it’s fantastic, so I hope no one misinterprets what I’m saying. I just wish that she and I could find a way to get rid off or ignore all those distractions when we have several hours alone.

Thoughts?  Please feel free to comment…

 

Sometimes DB likes to go to the quiet of his room and read in peace before bedtime. I can’t blame him, PP definitely has her moments when she won’t stop talking!

This week’s TMI Tuesday is about sex and romance. Who doesn’t enjoy a little romance or the art of seduction before engaging in sex? Often times the prelude is better than the actual ‘event’.

1. You are sitting alone in a restaurant because your lunch date is late. Do you:
a) Throw something and then make out with the waiter.
b) Check to make sure he or she didn’t get into an accident, then wait patiently for two hours and use the time to compose a love song or poem.
c) Send a nasty text followed up by a voice mail telling him/her that “romance is dead and so are you!”
d) Wait for 20 minutes, and then text-message a pal to join you for lunch.

B, but with modification- do I really seem like the kind of guy to compose a love song or poetry? Hell no!

2. What’s more important, a romantic relationship or your career?

Career is important, my relationship with Veronica is more important.

3. You love to role play in the bedroom, which one of these is more likely to be your kink?
a. Doctor and the naughty nurse
b. You’re the gardener, I’m the hoe
c. Persnickety principal and the wayward pupil that needs a spanking
d. Me Tarzan, you Jane
e. Scattered-brain boss and the seductive secretary

Well  let’s see, Veronica and I have played student and professor, that’s close to “c”.  It turns out that Maddie the cheerleader was happy to take an ass-fucking for a better grade.  She’s also been “Cassandra” the porn producer and I was the aspiring director who had to demonstrate his skill on camera.

Somewhere on my computer there’s video evidence of my performance with Cassandra :-)

4. When you want sex, who tends to make the first move?
a. Me! I like to go for what I want.
b. It varies. Sometimes my partner/significant other/date or sometimes me.
c. Oh definitely the other person. Even if I want it, I’m not about to admit such a thing.
d. I drop subtle hints hoping he/she will pick up on it.

B, it varies.

5. When it comes to lovemaking, select the answer that best describes you/your attitudes
a. vanilla – meets society’s middle of the road standards
b. adventurous
c. kinky
d. trisexual – I will try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.  –Mae West

Sometimes a, sometimes b, sometimes c, and sometimes d :-)

6. You want to seduce that sexy someone, what is the sweet-nothing that you’ll whisper in his/her ear?

“Hey baby, wanna fuck?”

What, that’s not what you’d say?

Bonus: What’s your idea of a romantic getaway?

Me, Veronica, a hotel room and plenty of free time.  Oh, and of course a friend is always welcome to join us

Veronica is a damn good cook, but sometimes she prefers to “slave over a hot cell phone”, as she puts it. Monday evening was one of those times!

For those of you on Gmail, have you ever noticed this little hyperlink down at the bottom right corner of the screen?

If you click on “Details”, the last 10 sessions on your account will be displayed. Now normally I wouldn’t look at it, but if I did it would display a listing of several IP addresses- my router at home, the one for my iPhone and maybe the IP address of my work computer.

I forget what it will say, but if someone else is logged into an account at the same time, there’s a message to that effect. I noticed that one day and figured it was Veronica, she does have my email password, so it wouldn’t be unusual.

But this WAS unusual

An entry from somewhere in Montana?  Time to run the IP address thru a search engine

How I have no idea if this is some weird quirk of how the internet works and just reflects a redirect through a server somewhere.  I do know that it was time to change my password, just in case something was up.

Was I right to suspect that my email account was hacked? I don’t know, but I do know that I haven’t noticed any unusual entries in the “Last Account Activity” list since then, and I’ve been keeping watch!

================================

If you’re interested, here’s a great post on choosing a good password.

Happy Monday!

 

Sometimes it’s fine to stay on the beaten path (or paved, as the case may be)

But sometimes, off-the-beaten path has more interesting sights

There’s more than one way to hide my face from the camera

Sinful Sunday, where it’s all about the image

Sinful Sunday

 

Darling Boy enjoys reading the comics every day.  It’s just too bad that classics that I grew up with, such as The Far Side, Calvin and Hobbes, and Bloom County aren’t around any more…

She’s almost 13 yrs old, but when food is involved, she’s got the energy of a puppy and is eternally hopeful that Veronica will “drop” something for her!

Five Monkeys

 Tagged with:
Feb 252012
 

Start with a cage containing five monkeys. In the cage, hang a banana on a string and put stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey will make an attempt with the same response — all of the monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Keep this up for several days.

Turn off the cold water. If, later, another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it even though no water sprays them.

Now, remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted.

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

Replace the third original monkey with a new one. The new one makes it to the stairs and is attacked as well. Two of the four monkeys that beat him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs, or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey.

After replacing the fourth and fifth original monkeys, all the monkeys which have been sprayed with cold water have been replaced. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs.

Why not?

“Because that’s the way it’s always been done around here.”

Don’t miss the opportunity to share this with others as they might be asking themselves why we continue to do what we are doing if there is a different way out there
