HNT 8 WW 7

You never know just how you look through other people’s eyes.

Form = A three-dimensional geometrical figure (I.E.: cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, etc…), as opposed to a shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat.
Form is the entirety of visible elements and how they go together.

Wikipedia defines it thus…
Form is the shape, visual appearance, or configuration of an object.

Perspective can change the visual appearance of something while the actual form stays the same, so I don’t really agree with wikipedia on that one.
Shift an angle or twist a viewpoint and everything appears differently.

I have never thought of myself as visually attractive. Always have I looked in the mirror and thought negative thoughts.

As an artist I am able to dissect myself visually. Remove the ME from the picture and study just the form.
When I do this I realize I am OK. Nothing special, but OK. To a few I would be randomly attractive just from visuals, but that is because of personal odd tastes each individual may posses.

My personality drives some people crazy. Others love me. I ain’t special in that regard. Such is the way with most.

I study people. I also study their form. The two things are twined when it comes to how people view them in the world, but are also independent of each other. The pieces do not make the whole, but the pieces do effect how a person views themselves… thus changing the spirit, outlook, and behavior of an individual.

When I paint someone I am much more interested in their minds than their physical form. I need to talk to the person, get inside, and learn.
I will then take in their form. I will use that form as a basic guide to paint the essence of their inner being, or maybe a feeling that permeates them.
All true artists believe in the existence of the soul.
The reason for that is because all true artists must seek the person they wish to paint in-spite of the initial form of the subject. The true being is within. The outward shell is just bits and pieces. A casing for the real subject within.

Since I don’t usually do the TMI thing many who read this may not know what it is.
If that is the case then please read the About TMI page here. I myself read it sporadically if the subject is interesting and usually find out about the subject from accounts I follow on Twitter or Facebook.
Anywho… here it is.

1. What sexual act arouses you the most? For that matter, what nonsexual act arouses you the most?

Oral sex if we are talking about the physical stuff. Giving and receiving both are required for a truly satisfying experience. I’d rather go with just oral than just intercourse any day.

Non sexual things don’t arouse me, but a few things some people would consider non sexual do.
The way some girls drink through a straw for example. The way a very few girls chew gum can give me some sexy thoughts too.

Those types of things don’t arouse me to the point of erection though.
To get an erection I need physical contact and mental stimulation both.

2. What is your signature or “go to” move that is sure to get a lover in the mood for sex?

I don’t have one of those. Wish I did. That would be like a magic switch.
If anybody has a “go to” move that is a 100% sure fire move please share it with me.
I have a pretty high success rate, but I have crashed and burned too.

Waite… nope, actually I think if such a thing exists I wouldn’t want to know about it.
Knowing for sure you can get somebody in the mood would take half the fun out of it.

3. Do you queef?

This questionnaire is kinda sexist.
I’ll answer anyway.
Nope, but I laugh, poke jokes, and have on occasion tried to imitate the noise via a good raspberry to the belly if Mrs queefy gets to serious and embarrassed over it.

4. What’s the weirdest thing that’s happened to YOU as a result of your sex writings (e.g., blog, erotica, sex toy reviews)? (borrowed from Insatiabear)

This ranks up there, but isn’t actually the weirdest.
Have also had about a dozen random girls call me on it at work.
Had a couple ask to see where I hide the toys.
Had a guy I don’t like at all (and yes he probably still reads this blog) ask me if I could talk his girlfriend who I used to know very well into swinging.
Had a relative who was in the know mention it at a family function. (that almost went real bad)
Yep, haven’t been anonymous enough to keep the weirdness at bay.

5. Have you ever had sex while someone watched?
…someone else was in the room?
…someone else in the bed, next to you and the person you’re having sex with?
What were the circumstances?
I was an overly active teen so yes to all of the above many times over before I was an adult.
Then… semi open relationships, almost a decade in the adult biz, swinging, poly, ya…
There was actually a point in my life that one on one private sex was rare enough for it to seem almost overly intense and personal. It was a turning point for me. I am now pretty stable.

6. When it comes to sex, and discussing it with your teen have you or would you:
a. Let school sex education handle it
b. Hand the teen a book or point them to a website
c. Talk frankly and openly
d. Avoid it all together–society, friends, and the Internet will give all the info needed

I have a grown son now (age 25) and we never avoided any sex talk with him while he was growing up. I told him about sex and relationships the same way I told him about history, religion, and the arts. If he had a question he new he could ask. His mother and I also hid nothing about our lifestyles. He knew I was an adult content producer, he knew his mother was bisexual, he knew we didn’t practice traditional monogamy, he also didn’t bat an eyelash when our household grew in size because our twosome became a threesome.
I gave him the lingo and the ways (see question 2) so he could be a ladies man without fail and still make those girls think of him as grand after.
He used, and slightly abused that knowledge for a short while.
End result = by 18 he had become himself. Totally excepting, and non judgmental of anyone else’s choices, but nothing like me. He is a 100% monogamous, one woman guy.
We are great friends. We hang out on a regularly. We have nothing to hide from each other. It it awesome.

I now have a three year old (almost 4) daughter. I shall raise her the same way. I will never lie to her when she has a question. I will educate her in all the must know subjects and let her come to me if ever she wishes to know my take on anything more.
Knowledge is power. I wish my children to have knowledge, be confident, and know that their father is in their corner.
Schools are turning out illiterate turds who can’t even make change for a dollar these days.
No way would I entrust the school system to educate my children in matters of sexual health, safety, and personal choices.

Bonus:   Remember the song, “I’m too sexy?” CLICK to refresh your memory
What are you too sexy for?
Not feeling very sexy lately.
You need to be in the right mood to feel to sexy like that song says.
I guess I’ll say… “I’m to sexy for my blog.”

Vist the TMI blog and see how other people answered these same exact questions.

HNT 6 WW 5

Not the most flattering picture of us, but sometimes it isn’t about how flattering a picture may be that matters.

Sometimes it is about that captured moment.
Sometimes it is about the memories the picture invokes.

In this case that moment left us grinning.
In this case those memories are a bit naughty.

HNT 5 WW 4

Sometimes it is called A Devil’s Threesome or Devil’s Threeway.
The MFM threesome is not the fantasy held by 90+% of American boys.
The idea of a woman enjoying two men is sexy to most straight men only if they don’t know the girl or don’t give a crap about her. It just doesn’t fit withing their insecure, beta/omega male, self centered universe.
(Please See notes on Alpha/Beta/Omega qualities at bottom of page)
Do women fantasize about such things though?
Hell yes they do. Not all for sure, but a majority do.
A sad part of modern culture is however the fact that women are not supposed to think about such things.
Women assume that men would enjoy a second girl in the mix. A husband would in most situations be thought normal if he expressed such a desire.
A wife however is lucky in this day and age if she has the freedom to admit she would enjoy two males at once to her husband without repercussions.

I have had vanilla (non swingers) guys find out that we swing and express a lot of interest in the whole idea. They say things like “That is fucking sweet,” after asking if I get to have sex with other women or if I get to have threesomes.
They then usually say things like “I could never let another guy fuck my wife,” after the subject turns to swapping or the idea of a threesome involving two men rather than two women.
They also say that their wives would NEVER want to do something like.
They sometimes think that their STRAIGHT wives would maybe want to have a FMF threesome though just to try out bisexual play.

If I say things like “So your wife that is straight, enjoys sex with men, and has never had sex with a woman before would go for another girl before another guy?”
I get answers like “She only wants me, she isn’t attracted to other men.”

If I’m wise I shut up, but if they guy is a total goof nut I will screw with him big time. Who knows though… maybe his straight wife is only attracted to him. Maybe he is the only male on the planet she thinks is hot.
Maybe if she was the last woman on Earth and she was stuck with Brad Pitt , Ryan Reynolds, Joe Manganiello, Daniel Craig, Denzel Washington, and David Beckham the human species would die out.
I’m doubting it.

Men and their illusions of grandeur. Cracks me up.

The common phrase is “It takes two to tango,” which implies that for any action or course of action that involves two people both must involve themselves.
In other words you can’t dance the dance if the other partner refuses and sits it out.

Sometimes we hear the phrase as “It takes three to tango.”
Usually it is used as an expression only in jest.
A comparable humorous phrase would be “Two is company, but three is a party.”

The phrase ‘it takes two to tango’ originated in a song, Takes Two to Tango, which was written and composed in 1952 by Al Hoffman and Dick Manning. The lyrics and melody were popularized by singer Pearl Bailey’s 1952 recording.
Takes two to tango (idiom) Wikipedia.org
Comedian George Carlin observed: “It takes two to tango. Sounds good, but simple reasoning will reveal that it only takes one to tango. It takes two to tango together, maybe, but one person is certainly capable of tangoing on his own.” The phrase is conventionally used in which one person is being blamed, but two are actually at fault.

There is a movie called Three to Tango. It is a romantic comedy from 1999. It wasn’t super good, but still semi-popular.

The Alpha, the beta, and the omega. WTF is this shit?
Humans are like wolves. It is True.
The big difference is that our Omega males and sometimes our Beta humans like to pretend to each other that they are Alpha males. They will even lay claim to it verbally.
The more on the bottom of the totem pole they are the more apt they are to try and do “Man Stuff.” (I’m visualizing Tim the tool man Taylor here)
Let’s look at wolf packs and hierarchy …
Wolves organize themselves into packs to maintain stability and make sure they can survive. (as do humans)
A wolf can survive as a solo creature, but it is hard. Same with humans.
Imagine yourself cut off from civilization with no clothing, shelter, food, protection, etc… Now survive. Can you build shelter? Make a fishing pole and line? can you cloth yourself? Not likely. If you can it is doubtful you can do it swift enough to survive. Wish some other humans had made you a pocket knife now I bet.
A wolf group is usually lead by an alpha male and an alpha female. They act as a team.
The pups of these alpha wolves and and sometimes unrelated wolves comprise the rest of the pack.
The alpha male is not always head honcho. Sometimes it is the female who bosses the alpha male. (just like humans)
The alpha pair are normally the only ones to have the most sex and bring about pups because they are the best and it is obviously a good way to create better offspring.
(Wolves are smarter than us in this respect it seems)
When times are good (plenty of food, etc…) other wolves will be getting busy and making pups too.
The beta wolf is the second in command wolf. This wolf knows that it is a beta wolf and knows who the alpha wolves are. It has no illusions of grandeur.
This wolf takes command when there is no beta wolf at hand to lead and if something happens to the alpha the beta takes it’s place.
If the Alpha male becomes week the beta will challenge for dominance.
We then have THE PACK.
These wolves all basically have the same position in life though some think they are better than they are. They may fight and brawl amongst each other and push for dominance within their ranks. They may even strut about and play like they are alpha wolves when there is no alpha in sight. (Like humans do)
They are however all of the same cast with little or no difference. (Like almost all humans)
Lastly comes the Omega wolf.
This poor critter is the class clown. It is his job to ease tension amongst the regular pack and keep them chill. When pack tension rises it is the omega wolf who gets picked on most. Poor fella.
This omega wolf is just as bad as the rest though when it comes to lording it up and acting the alpha. When it is just him and some pups he will play high and mighty.
(Sounds like humans again!)
If he gets caught to many times and picked on to much the omega will even leave the pack so he can go and try to be a big shot on his own or even work his way into another pack if he is young and lucky.
It is said that Wolves mate for life.
I have heard it used many a time by those who say monogamy is THE natural way of things.
It is true that wolves do form long tern pair bonds, and that they are often for life.
They are much more successful at lasting relationships than humans. One thing most people skip over though is that even though they are pair bonded they usually mate (SEX) with other wolves in the group. This sexual non-monogamy does not affect the pair bonding.
Wolves also practice serial monogamy. (like many humans) An alpha wolf does not often wait very long before taking on a new mate if the other alpha becomes week, stupid, or dies.
We are so like wolves!

HNT 4 WW 3

It’s really been some welcome
You never seem to change
A grape to tempt your leisure
Romantic gestures strange
My eagle flies tomorrow
It’s a game I treasure dear
To seek the helpless future
My love at last I’m here

Take me I’m yours

I do a lot of little pink ribbon tattoos.
Your probably wondering then why I am showing such a simple one instead of some crazy pink pizazz ribbon.

I took this picture today specifically for this post.
It is a tattoo on my mothers leg.
I did the butterfly portion of the tattoo 22 years ago and added the ribbon exactly 16 years and 7 days ago on the day her doctor said she was cancer free.

My son was just 6 years old when grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer in both breasts. It was a multi year battle and she lost both breasts.
It wasn’t easy to explain why grandma could no longer play and had to just sit and rest all the time.
Both breasts, stage 3, lymph-nodes, bad deal.

Survived.

She ended up having a double transverse rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap surgery. The surgery gave her a good appearance when clothed, but left her feeling like Frankenstein she said when it came to the scars on her body.

My mothers cancer was caught a bit later than it should have been. The lumps were big, and self examination would have caught it much earlier.
She didn’t do that shit. Never even thought about it.
She also never had a mammogram. If she had done self exams or had regular mammograms she would not have lost her breasts or went through as much as she did.
Still she is a lucky one to have survived.

She now owns a wig store.
She has a lot of clients coming in daily who are going through chemotherapy.
Not all are as lucky. She deals with many of these clients until they pass.
A lot of the survivors become very involved with cancer awareness (as she did) and come in all the time even after becoming cancer free because they are involved in various cancer groups.

I work with my mother. I deal with these people too. Some regularly. It is sad when they stop coming in. It is also a regular part of my life.
I then sometimes do memorial tattoos on their friends and family. I think it helps them mourn.

Why did I tell this little story today?

I’m sure you all know that  October is Breast Cancer Awareness month.
That means that it is time to spread the word.
This was me doing just that.

EdenFantasys is helping spread the word by having a huge contest!

On EdenFantasys, they are having a large video contest with over $650 worth of prizes: http://www.edenfantasys.com/tp-landing-url/presents/breast-cancer-awareness To enter, the participant makes a short, 30-second video talking about why their breast cancer awareness is important. If you’d like, feel free to enter your own video (first place is $500 in luxury toys), or check out the current entries.

Breast cancer is avoidable.
Always do self checks no matter what, but taking a few things to heart can decrease your chances of getting breast cancer.

Here are just 3 really important ones.

Like your bra?
In a study by Singer and Grismaijer in 1995, 3 out of 4 women studied who wore a bra for 24 hours a day developed breast cancer compared to 1 out of 168 who wore a bra rarely or never.
Bras do NOT cause the cancer initially but they restrict the flow of lymph within breast tissue.

Pay attention to what you eat.
Don’t eat those nasty processed carbs. Ditch the white flour, white rice, and sugar. Besides being linked to almost every single type of cancer known, these foods can cause hormonal changes that promote cellular growth in breast tissue.
Do eat your fruits and veggies. They are ALL cancer fighters. Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and brussels sprouts are especially good, as are dark leafy greens like kale and spinach.

Getting enough Vitamin D and sunlight?
A vitamin supplement along with a good diet will help, but scientists think that humans need probably somewhere around 3000-5000 IU daily to be healthy. People who don’t get their vitamin D are more likely to get certain forms of cancer. Breast cancer is one of those types. The only way to get 3000+ IU daily in a healthy manner is to get out in the sun.

As an extra little note I would like to say something about breastfeeding.
If you have a child and can breastfeed you should do it. It is that simple.
From Breastfeeding.com “While we generally focus on the positive benefits of breastfeeding for the infants, there are additional benefits for the mother as well. Breastfeeding has been found to provide a measure of protection against uterine, cervical and ovarian cancers as well as breast cancer.”
I recommend reading the entire article and finding out what a huge difference it makes.

HNT 3

Today is a day to celebrate the triumph of good over evil.
At least a lot of Hindus all over India think so.
Dussehra is the last day of Navratri; it falls on the 10th day of the waxing moon during the Hindu month of Ashvin.
That is today!
It is believed that it was on this day that Lord Rama killed the demon-king, Ravana and rescued his abducted wife – Sita.
Dussehra also symbolizes the triumph of the warrior Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon.
You must admit that is fun stuff.

Over the course of the last nine days many have been involved with an enactment of the life of Lord Rama.
Today larger than life effigies of Ravana, his son and brother will be set afire by enthusiastic participants.
When the participants burn the effigies they also burn the evil within them so they ca follow a path of truth and goodness.
Dussehra is also known as Vijaya Dasami.

I’m pretty sure most of the folks who really get into this day would consider my life evil, but that is alright with me.
Being a very spiritually eclectic person I have over the years come to embrace things that I find correct and valuable. Let others do and think as they wish. I shall be me.

HNT 2 WW 2

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world and the seven seas
Everybody’s looking for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused

Used or abused… whatever your preferred flavor…
This is a surefire ticket to some sweet dreams!

If you are having trouble getting into some deep sleep, or you are waking up every couple hours or so because of crappy dreams… I have your solution.

Invite some friends over and spend a couple hours creating good vibes and sweet sensations to dream about.
The comfort level and contentment alone will help you have some very sweet dreams.

Plus, with all these lovely friends helping you out the orgasm count will just keep going up.
Orgasms help you sleep better. Orgasms lower blood pressure and create a state of relaxation. Orgasms also work as a natural tranquilizer.

Peaceful slumber at last.

Sweet dreams people.

Give me a kisse, and to that kisse a score;
Then to that twenty, adde a hundred more;
A thousand to that hundred; so kisse on,
To make that thousand up a million;
Treble that million, and when that is done,
Let’s kisse afresh, as when we first begun.
~Robert Herrick, “To Anthea (III)”

Poetic magic vs Science

One of the things that set humans apart from other mammals is that we are the only species with lips that are turned outside the mouth.
What we see as lips are really part of the inside mouth. Scientists think this characteristic in humans has evolved through preferential selection.
Lips swell with additional blood when a human becomes aroused. This little happenstance makes it so that people find full lips attractive.

Kissing stimulates numerous hormones in both partners. The hormones are released from each partner’s own brain, but also hormones and pheromones are exchanged through the lips, mouth and tongue. The rapid exchange of body chemicals stimulates both people and causes strong physiological changes.
The more a human enjoys a kiss the more kissing they will desire.

Sounds great, doesn’t it?

Did you know however that the average human has over 400 different species of micro-organisms in their mouth?
Billions of the buggers swarm on teeth, the soft fleshy surfaces, gums, and especially the tongue.
When you kiss someone you swap not just chemicals and hormones, but nasty little micro-organisms too. Scientists say that we pass a few million per second to our partner when we kiss.
Don’t freak out though. Most of the bacteria and such that we swap back and forth (estimates range from 75% to 90% and I think the powers that be pulled these numbers out of their asses) is common in all humans. Most of the remainder is able to live only with the original host and dies quickly once transferred.

There is a small portion that can be harmful though.
Since I doubt anyone wants to think of such things, I won’t go there.

Were kisses all the joys in bed,
One woman would another wed.
~William Shakespeare, Sonnets to Sundry Notes of Music, IV

HNT stands for “Half-Nekkid Thursday,” and is a sort of blog carnival thingy.
I regularly read a few blogs that participate in it. (You all know who you are probably even though I curtailed my commenting a year ago or so)
On occasion I have been tempted into visiting the site and viewing all of the participants.
There are some very artistic folks who sporadically if not regularly post Half Nekkid Thursday pictures.
In my attempt to change things up and do the NEW on Red Region Inferno I have decided to give it a try.
If you clicky the button you will find the guidelines for “Half-Nekkid Thursday.”
Maybe you too would be interested.

Wanton Wednesday is another blog carnival type thingy meant to be a fun, sexy meme.
I know of it than I do of the HNT crowd, but there exists a few cross over participants.
Wanton Wednesday is run by a gal that goes by Dangerous Lilly. She is also responsible for e[lust], another blog carnival thingy that lists links to self-submitted blog posts about sex. It often has some really great stuff. I recommend you check it out if you are not familiar with it.
Click the Wanton Wednesday button to see what other people have submitted and follow the link to the help page if you are interested in joining in on this one.

For those who arrive here from the WW and HNT sites, and don’t usually follow me… The image is of my wife and I.

So, my first Wanton Wednesday and my first Half Nekkid Thursday all scrunched together.
We she see how it goes.
If I play along again you all will see just the buttons with no explanations.

Have fun folks, and remember what Bob Hope said… “People who throw kisses are mighty hopelessly lazy.”

Just a simple design from a flash set I did called “songs of sorrow.”

The symbolic nature of the design speaks for itself and the style of the design is a modernized traditional American tattoo style.

Lost Virtue

A snakes venom, it’s sharp fangs, a daggers smooth and bloodied blade…

All the needed ingredients for a tattoo that can  represent the pain and sorrows that may come with lost virtue.
