After the Hangover, Comes a Spring Awakening

Under the weather this week... got a bad cold.  I am on the other side of it now, but, boy, Tuesday and Wednesday were not pleasant.  I did the right thing.  I stayed home, I rested, I pushed fluids, pushed vitamin C, took hot showers, washed my hands, and gargled a lot.  I did not exercise, which was hard because it bummed me out to miss Zumba.  Having to sing this weekend, I really wanted to give my body a chance to recover as quickly as possible and I must say, I do indeed feel much better. 
What I did not feel like doing was writing.  Not anything.  Even studying my music was a real chore.  Mostly I simply wanted to sit on the couch and pet my dogs.  
And surf for free porn.
I did manage to stay off of the hook-up sites: A4A, Manhunt, bbrts, and Recon.  Phone apps: Scruff, Jack’d, Grindr, and GROWLr  also went unexplored.   For some reason, the games people play on those sites just are not of interest to me at the moment.  I want something more immediate.  And, surprisingly, more permanent.  I would like a small pool of dudes that I know – and know me – to play with.  I’m at a point where I don’t want sex that does not include some passing allusion of intimacy.  
What brought me there?  Well, my three years of slut-dom, for sure.  Age.  Experience. I guess this is a spring awakening for me.
Even my outlook for the summer is muted, this year.  Oh, I will get out there and get my rays.  And if I travel I will certainly try a taste of the local cuisine, but I am not looking to suck a million dicks in the woods, or douche behind a tree so I can take dick, or traipse along  behind every Gerry and Joe and shows an interest in me.  I think I will probably be spending a lot more time sitting on my blanket this year.  And the words ‘no, thank you’ will probably get used much more often than in the past. 
Sure, I could say that this has a lot to do with the way Parks and Wrecks are destroying much of the gay’s natural hunting ground, or the hyper-concerned dog walkers who call the police if they see you walking around alone.  Not to mention a certain overweight, out-of-shape Fridley police officer who seems to feel that his time and the tax payer’s money is better spent with him huffing and puffing his way through the woods, rather than preventing real crime.  (Oh, yes, children… these are not good times to be a little whore on the prairie). 
But in reality, this new mindset stems from my recent attempt at giving up sex for Lent.  Oh, don’t get excited – I failed, miserably.  But I did try.  And when I failed, I just picked up where I left off and gave it another try.  
I have come to the conclusion that I cannot go to a bar, alone, for I will soon find myself resorting to old behaviors. 
It had been nine days since I made my decision to abstain from sex.  Those first eight days slid by with me on my best behavior.  My first slip?   It started on a Saturday morning at the gym.  In the locker room.  I’d invited this dude I know to be a guest at my gym.  We’d fucked at the prairie once.  He’s super tall, older, and hung 8.5 and thick.  Tells me he doesn’t like kissing, but that’s how it began.  We get each other hard in the locker room, fooling around, sucking on each other.  I almost lose my load.  But then we decide to work out.  He goes off on the treadmill.  I’m working the weights.  Thirty minutes into my work out, this tall black dude I know arrives and works out a little.  I have a crush on him, though I have never seen him naked.  He’s pretty shy, but friendly, too.  After a mere fifteen minutes he tells me he’s not feeling it and heads for the showers.  Soon my friend heads in to the showers as well.  I have stuff yet to do, so am not sure what my friend is up to.
When I do finish my last set, I head into the locker room.  The black dude is drying himself in front of a mirror.  I politely avert my eyes, even though I am very curious.   I strip down, making my way to the showers with a bottle of baby oil in tow.  I have this thing right now – in preparation for the summer, I am dousing my body with baby oil before I shower.  Plus, I figure my friend is still in the showers and maybe we will do a little body rubbing. 
Well, my friend has been in the showers all this time and his eyes look like a Tweety Bird  who just  thought he thaw a puddy tat.  He’s half hard and excitedly tells me that the black dude came out of the private shower stall showing a big old hard on and apparently the dude is super hung.   I take a shower in a corner where the black dude cannot see me and oil up.  My friend sneaks over and kisses me, tells me he wants to fuck me (fucking is not an option) and pushes me down to suck his dick, which I do.  It’s a nice dick and we are fairly safe from prying eyes.  We mack on each other for a bit longer, before he steps back to his shower in the opposite corner.  He keeps stealing looks at the black dude, which I think is not that cool.  Then he comes back to me and won’t stop talking about how big the black dude’s dick was and how he’s pretty sure the dude is looking for something.  I doubt it.  I don’t tell him this, but it does kind of spoil the whole mood for me.  We fool around on each other more and the dude keeps wanting to fuck me… but the condoms are in my locker and quite frankly, I don’t want to.  Compromise is, and this is after the black dude has left, I shoot my load on his dick.  And then, not really surprising me at all, the dude declines to shoot his load.  And… the romance is over.   While I would be up for repeating this scene, I will not be inviting this guy back to my gym. 
Two days pass, and I get an email from another dude I have never met.  He’s a cowboy – a real one (rides bulls), living in a cabin on a lake.  He wants me to come for a visit.  I know this will mean getting fucked and I am game for it.  Besides, there’s something romantic about the whole set up.  He’s the kind of blue collar dude that I don’t get to play with often enough.  He’s shorter than me, and younger - stout and rugged looking.  Looks hella good in a trucker cap or in a cowboy hat.  With a face full of scruff and a chest full of hair, I decide he’s  a man fantasy come to life.  I make the trek to his place after work.  His cabin reminds me of the ones I used to spend time in on Little Sauk Lake.  We settle down on the couch, and once he drinks a few beers (I abstain) and the conversation becomes fluid, I take one of his big old bare feet and start massaging them.  He doesn’t resist.   I work my way up to his calves – they are hot as hell, big and beefy.  After the other foot gets some attention, he leans in for a kiss and we start making out.  It’s way fun.  The cabin’s rustic qualities are the perfect environment for what I have in mind.  The kissing is good, and he smells wonderful (he was just getting out of the shower when I got there).  Soon I am undoing his jeans and working my magic with my mouth on his dick.  It’s average, but sweet and thick.  I also like all the fur that surrounds it. 
We move to the bedroom, classic country music playing in the background, and lay with each other as God intended.  It is a sweet, intimate fuck and I let him unload in my ass, after he makes me cum.  We lay there in each other’s arms.  Lingering.  In a way, I wish the world would go away and leave this man and me be in this cabin.  But the clock is ticking and I have dogs to feed.  As we shower he keeps hinting at wanting ‘seconds’, but I tell him it will have to wait until next time, which as of this writing has not come to pass.  Maybe he thinks I am the one who has to make the next move, but, since I do not want to appear over eager, I decided it was his call to make – a call I’m still waiting for…
Next day, I stop in at one of my favorite parks and pull up next to a bright blue four door.  It’s the only car in the lot.  A young, tall, black dude – a rarity at this park, is sitting behind the driver’s seat.  We give each other a knowing nod.  I swiftly change into my hiking jeans (too cold for shorts) and shoes and keep eyeing my parking lot buddy.  See, I have heard about this guy.  He usually inhabits a different parking lot in a different park.  Seems he likes to stand next to his car jerking off for dudes to watch.  There are a lot of dudes who want more than to just watch, but he doesn’t oblige them.   He gets out of his car and keeps scoping out the landscape, before heading south on the blacktop trail.   I decide, why not, and follow a good distance behind.  After ten minutes of not quite understanding what it is he is looking for, I walk into the middle of this wooded area that is surrounded by, on one side, the main road, on another by a giant pavilion next to the parking lot, and on the third side, the black top path that the black dude has been pacing around on.   I check out the ground for signs of play; there is an old condom wrapper and a used, bright red condom near my feet.   I always take such things as a sign of good luck.
When I look up, seems he has taken a few steps closer to the thicket I am standing in.  He keeps inching in, but he remains at least five yards away from me.  However, due to the branches and bushes, I can’t quite make out his face or what he is doing with his hands.  He’s wearing those big saggy jeans around his hips and a big, sloppy hoodie.    Tentatively, I take a few steps toward him, moving real slow, because I am afraid I’ll scare him off.  And that’s when I catch site of the big fatty he is waving in my direction.  He's dropped his jeans just low enough so that the shaft of his dick and balls are free.  I can also see the curve of his ass.  Dude is fine.
Well, I don’t play coy.  I am over there in a second, and am soon on my knees worshiping his thick monster dick.  Dude looks like a total thug and has a voice to match.  I tell you, when a black dude tells me to suck their dick, I just melt inside.  Then he asks me to show him my ass and this dude’s voice purrs with a menace that has me dropping trou like a total slut.   But wait – we are at the edge of the thicket and I realize that any dog walker, jogger, or gay cruiser can see us plain as day.  I get up off my knees and ask him if he would like to go down to the river.   He says sure.  And I lead the way.  He comes to the edge of the woods that leads down to the river, but goes no further.  Thinking he has a better idea I backtrack and see that he is now walking north along the blacktop path – right past the parking lot, which is now filled with cars, and my heart sinks for I know exactly what is about to happen.  And sure enough, all those horny dudes spring forth from their autos and start trying to win the affections of this rather rare delicacy in our midst.   
I am about to give up.  Watching from afar, I observe two trolls and a rather obese youngster, move in on my man.  I head to my car, and just as I am about to get in I think to myself… how often does someone this hot come along?  With that, I grab a bottle of water, a condom, and some lube and make my way down the trail, where I now observe two additional motherfuckers moving in my trick.  Fuck ‘em.  I head down that trail and then veer off onto another trail that leads by the river.  But does my intended follow?  Nope. 
Since I’m down there, and I am pretty sure I know where this is possibly heading, I give my ass a quick rinse.  Surprisingly, even though I had not prepped at all, my ass is good to go!  I climb back up and see that the zombies have, in one solid mass, descended upon the black dude.  Something tells me they are wasting their time, and I start back on the trail, headed south instead.  I waste my time wandering in and out of the woods, looking for a better spot to fuck, but it is early in the year and there is no green cover yet, so nothing I see really pans out.  At one point I look up and spy the black dude on the trail above me.  He has followed me, but he will not come into the woods.  Moments later I realize the reason he keeps walking is that there is a zombie on his trail.  I look at this zombie.  He looks a lot like me… same age, same build.  The black dude could just as easily choose him over me.  Maybe it’s a first come, first served, deal.  So I stand and wait.  After a bit the zombie wanders back to his car.  And five minutes after that the black dude reappears.  See – patience pays off!
He sees me, but will not come into the woods.  Instead he makes his way back to the thicket where we first met.  My hopes rise as I hit the blacktop trail once more.  Sure enough, the black dude moves into the center of the thicket.  Now, one can absolutely see everything in this thicket, because there is no green coverage.  The branches however, do act as a kind of visual breaker, which is exactly what I think the black dude is counting on.  I make my way to his side.  His dick is already out.  I drop my pants, crouch before him and deep throat him like there’s no tomorrow.  As my mouth is doing all the work, one of my hands is smearing lube on my hole.  Dude is talking shit in a low guttural tone and I just know he wants to get on up into my business.   Finally he says, “show me that ass, bitch.”   I get up, turn around and spread my cheeks.  He slips a gold Trojan out of his pocket and works it over the head of his dick.  Once it’s on, I run a handful of lube over the length of his dick and ask him to please enter slowly. 
He does and his huge fuck stick opens me up so much that it feels absolutely liquid.  I tell him as much.  He’s not wasting time, though.  He immediately starts pounding my hole, working it for all it’s worth.  I am deliriously happy… that is until I open my eyes and see one of the zombies walking down the trail in our direction.  I am sure they can see us, but probably can’t quite see what we’re doing.  I rear up to warn the dude fucking me, but before I can get a word out, he pushes  down on my upper back and says, “Just get down”.  I do as told.  Thinking I can help hurry things along I start fucking back on his dick.  We generate a really complicated rhythm until the dude on the trail has actually walked past us.  I pause and turn around.  The black dude has worked up quite a sweat.  He smiles, for the first and only time, and says “Fuck, yeah.”  I start work back on his dick again, but he pulls out.  He already came.  I reach around, remove the filled condom, and then ask if I can clean him up with my mouth.  He nods affirmatively, and I am all over that dick.  As we get ourselves back in order, he tells me that he needed that, that he hadn’t cum in a week, and that he’ll catch me later.  Gosh, I hope so.
After he’s gone I hang onto that condom, holding it aloft, marveling at the size of his load.  In the end, I toss it into the trash.  I like cum – hot, fresh cum, but am not a total cum freak.  So the idea of using it for lube on my own dick, eating it, or spreading it all over my body holds no appeal for me. 
Two days after that, I find myself at the Eagle in full whore mode.  I’m on bbrts.  I’m on GROWLr (as are a bunch of the dudes around me).  I have an offer to visit a dungeon in St. Paul.  I have three dudes at the bar that have been hitting me up on Scruff.  I have some tiny sixty-year old dude wanting to fuck me, plus an architect who wants me to fuck him.  I’m kissing on dudes, dancing, laughing, and having a good time, knowing exactly how the evening will end… at the warehouse.
And it does. 
And all those promises I made myself – you know, about waiting and looking for just one good quality dude, rather than passing my ass around, or sucking on every dick that presents itself… goes right out the basement window.  I am a total slut, kneeling on a couch on the main floor with my ass cheeks spread like a drunken cheerleader at a frat beer bust.  Details?  Too many, too shameful. 
Next day, I have a sex hangover to go with my gin and tonic induced one.  I sink into a depression.  Anxiety regarding potential STDs gnaws away at me.  I do not like myself that Saturday morning.  Nor do I like myself the next day.   It’s been fourteen days since that night.  I have not been on any hook up site or any phone app.  I have looked at a bunch of porn shorts and jerked off once.  But that’s it.
Tonight – I have an actual date.   I don’t know how it will go.  He’s handsome.  Shorter than me.  A marathon runner.  My age.  He says he likes to kiss. 
Maybe a kiss on the lips will be enough.
But I doubt I will be visiting the warehouse again, any time soon. 
And yes, I failed.  Failed miserably.  But it was a good run.  A good try. 
I don’t know what will happen tonight.  And I know better than to make any promises -  what, with my track record?  But I do know that if it doesn’t feel right, that I will say thank you very much for a lovely evening and go home. 
Because I don’t need another Saturday hangover – of either varieties.

30 Days and 30 Nights (Assess to Asses, Butts to Butts)

The season of Lent is upon us.  Like a good Catholic, I went in and had ashes applied to my forehead.  I find weird comfort in this ancient, symbolic gesture.  Ashes to ashes…
 
Ash Wednesday marks an end of Carnival, the celebration enjoyed by all the heathens in the world (tongue-in-cheek; for I certainly more than qualify as one).  My own personal Carnival has been going on for quite some time, so I am using this as an opportunity to attempt something a little different.  For the season of Lent, traditionally, folks are supposed to give up something  that they enjoy in order to more closely relate to the suffering endured by Jesus during his forty days and forty nights of fasting in the desert.  
Now… what exactly do I enjoy more than (almost) anything else in the entire world?  Let me think… hmmmm.
I managed to get some at the tail end of Fat Tuesday, so with that in mind, I have decided to go on a sex fast!   I would attempt forty days and forty nights, but I kind of missed the very start of the season (by three days) and the season is actually only 36 days long.  So, instead, it will be thirty days and thirty nights of ‘just say no’ to sexual acts that involve another human being (or any other sort of being).   Hey, I’m a realist.  And if I make it for the full thirty… I will be fucking amazed!  But I gotta try.
Ground rules: Masturbation is allowed, but not with the aid of pornography – simply whatever sexy I can conjure up with my mind.  I will also be refraining from going on the internet in search of porn or to ‘chat’ with people.  Scruff, Grndr, and Jack’d are also off limits. So is Recon, Adam4Adam, and Manhunt.  Craigslist?  Somebody else will have to flag those inappropriate sex ads!  I will be allowed to gather a suitable photo each week for this blog, but that is the limit on viewing naked man parts.  Now, there happens to be a loophole written into the whole” giving up something for lent” thing: Sundays are actually free days, a time where anything goes.  However, I will not be observing that practice, and will attempt a full thirty days and thirty nights.  Yep, I’m serious about this!
It will mean changing a ton of habits that I have developed.  I will need a new place to hang out at after work.  In order to avoid tricks I have known and loved as well as any potential temptation, I will not be able frequent the same hiking trails that I have been frequenting.  My home laptop will feel unloved and lonely.  It will gather cobwebs, as I have very little use for it that is not sexual in nature – well, writing, yes, but that IS usually sexual in nature, so...  hmmmm.  My cell phone will become this thing I drag around with me for no reason, as I never actually talk on it, using it primarily to text, Scruff, etc.  I will also have to deal with the ennui of my work place and find something to do with all my extra time.
One nice thing?  No anxiety about STDs!  I am seeing my doc today for an unrelated matter, but will request a complete STD screen – just to make sure I am starting my fast with a clean slate.
Oh, yeah.  This is fool-proof.  Nothing could possibly go wrong with this plan.  Right? (Roll eyes here.)
So, part of Fat Tuesday was spent with that lovely black gentlemen I met on Grndr.  I wrote about him a couple of weeks ago – check it out.  Since our first tryst, we’d been playing phone tag and I was beginning to think that I’d never get to see him again.  Especially after having once made a date for fun, with me showing up, ready to go, and having his ‘roommate’ answer the door!  In my defense:  I did not know about his ‘roommate’.  In his defense, he did tell me to call before I arrived (I texted).  In both our defenses, I should point out that it is a two bedroom condo and both bedrooms appear to be in use.  It would explain the rather bare-essentials living room.  I have not seen the kitchen.  Bottom line: I don’t care if he’s partnered or not (and I am thinking he’s not).
Anyway, two days later, we’re good to go, and we end up having a great time.  My memory is usually pretty accurate when it comes to dick size, and if anything I tend to remember dude’s dicks as larger than they actually are, but in his case, I underestimated.  Needless to say, I was pleasantly surprised (and royally fucked!).   
 The kisses were fewer this time, but fine.  I’d also forgotten how much he loves to eat ass.  We fucked on the bed, again.  It was great.  For the final round, I was on all fours, facing the headboard, with him on my back.  My fuck-back went into overdrive, with my ass basically pummeling the cum out of his dick.  I sort of took his breath away.  We played safe, which is now my game of choice.   This time we lingered less, for time seemed to be of concern as the roommate could return at any moment.  All told, we were both kind of giddy in the afterglow and left one another’s company pretty impressed with one another.
He reminds me of Blair Underwood, just a bit.  Yes, he’s taller than Blair, and his body is more rocking, but yeah, he has that Blair Underwood thing going on, for sure.
And that should have been the end to my sexual exploits, but for some reason I found myself the next night, sitting in my car after choir practice, scanning my neighborhood on Scruff and Grndr.  I guess I wasn’t quite ready to start my thirty day and nights.  After chatting with a few – one dude was 515 feet away, another in Plymouth - I get hit on by this guy that is kind of a legend in my mind.  He’s been on-line as long as I have and I know he knows who I am, for I have sent him numerous photos, but we’d never met.   He always had the same sepia –toned body shot / no face pic in his profile, that is up until two weeks ago, when he replaced it with a close-up of his pecs.  Surprisingly, he is interested in playing.  Turns out he had a trick lined up and got stood up; that trick’s loss / my gain. 
I head on over to his house (he’s two blocks away).  He ushers me inside.  He’s already communicated that this needs to be quick, and I am cool with that.  Looks-wise, he’s not what I expected.  The images on-line don’t exactly match up, but nothing that’s a deal breaker.   I could list all the things that were not as expected, but the thing is – it was all perfectly fine.  I liked the mustache, the furry little (very little) belly, etc.  He was taller than I expected – always a good thing.  His dick was smaller than advertised and, to be fair to me, I have to point this out – if you are going to advertise your dick size in your on-line handle then you had better be accurate!  That said – his dick was perfectly pleasant and more than adequate.
 After the fact, I find out the reason he has never played with me is because he has a partner and was fearful that I would not be discrete.  No problem, I tell him.  I am discrete and I do not care – just fuck me.
We go down to his basement where he has a sling set up.  All in all, a very nice time was had by both of us.  I could nitpick (and I fear, already have), but then so could he (and he sort of did).  He sucked my dick, I sucked his, I ate his ass, and he put me in the sling.  I thought he would eat my ass, but I think he didn’t like the looks of my pucker, as he made a comment about how my hole appeared to “like to be used”.  I could have been insulted, but I’m on my back, in a fucking sling, in his basement – who am I to have an opinion about anything.  After slipping on a condom, he fucks me.  It is a fun fuck.  He likes his nipples played with, as do I.  I’m not allowed to touch my dick, and it turns out, he’s not that into kissing.  Oh, well.   After ten minutes in the sling he tells me to get on all fours in front of a full length mirror.  Well, to be honest, I am more than happy to get out of that sling.  The last time I was in one, I wretched my back.  This time turns out to be less traumatic, but the next morning, I’m feeling it in my shoulders and lower back all the same.  
In front of the mirror, with me on all fours, he kind of squats behind me, riding high up on my ass.  It makes a nice picture, and actually feels much better than the sling.  He blows his load this way rather quickly, which surprises me, but I’m glad he got his cookies.  I get on my knees and work my cock up to a nice hard on.  Standing over me, he watches.  I ask him to kiss me just before I blow my load and he obliges.  All in all, not bad.  We clean up the scene and I am out the door pronto, promising not to acknowledge his existence should I see him in public.
In a way, the encounter was everything I could ever hope for: convenient, fast, nice set-up, nice scene.  We did lots of fun stuff, everybody got their cookies, and we played safe.  Yay!
The fact that I am less than enthused about last night’s encounter is what lies at the heart of why I need to take on the challenge of abstaining from sex for thirty days and nights.   Because this was a perfectly great encounter and should have left me feeling very happy.   There was nothing inadequate about what we did and, in fact, it was pretty great.  But I come away feeling it was merely adequate.  Because I was merely adequate.  I was merely adequate because there is a part of me that was just not that into it.  My bad.  You bring your ‘A’ game every time, or you stay the fuck home!
My encounter with ‘Blair Underwood’ really should have been enough.  That should’ve been the end point of casual sex and the start of my thirty days.  The reason that I was firing on all fours (interesting pun) with ‘Blair’ was due to the fact that I had not been fucked since the first of the month and had practically been climbing the walls. At one point I was actually begging a dude via text to fuck me (and I’m so glad that did not happen – story for next week).  So, where ‘Blair was concerned, I did bring my ‘A’ game.  Not so with Bachelor #2.   
So I’m glad I’m taking a break.  It’s time.
How successful will I be?  Time will tell. 
Thirty days and thirty nights begins…
…now.

Seven Whole Days - And I'm Feeling Fine!

It’s been seven days. No sex. And I feel great.

In fact, this whole thing has been a lot easier than I thought. I assumed I would be climbing the walls, itching to jump on anything and anyone I found remotely attractive. Instead, it’s been like a great vacation where you don’t have anything planned and have no commitments you need to attend to.

What I don’t miss:
The anxiety inherent in the logistics associated with setting up and getting to a hook-up.


I’m not on my laptop, so any technical glitches – i.e. connectivity, sites not loading properly, uploading photos, etc. – poof, gone. I don’t have to Mapquest anything or expand my knowledge of parts of the cities I have not been to before. The actual frustration of driving to a designated site and parking? Not my problem anymore. Racing against the clock to get there at the time you said you would? Not me. Not this week, anyway.

Sweating the STD thing.If you’re not getting fucked or having a dick rammed in your mouth – what’s to worry about? Well, yeah, my recent past could catch up to me, but something tells me I skirted this issue. It has been nice not spending the whole week wondering if that dude with the scuzzy apartment and dim lighting left me with a parting gift when he showed me to the door.

Burning all that gas.I’m not sitting in a park parking lot idling my engine. I’m not driving all the way to Coon Rapids to scratch that itch. My car is in the garage when I’m not working, and that is saving me some bucks.

Wasting my time on-line.Not that I’m doing anything special with my newfound freedom, but it’s nice not being tied to a phone app or glued to my laptop. The days pass by much faster, but that’s okay, because they seem a bit sweeter, too.

Wasting my emotional energy on-line.I try not to sweat the little stuff. People on-line are fairly bogus, obtuse, and tend to be rather sketchy no matter what their chemical state may be. But rejection is almost always a self-esteem killer. It’s been nice not to have to read between the lines when some dude who was way into me suddenly stops responding to my emails.

Being ever-vigilant regarding my body hair maintenance regime.Did I mention that I finally got a back clipper and shaved my back? Yes. Once. I will probably do it again, but now it will be when I want to do it, and not because I have to do it. Same with shaving the boys and buzzing my chest hair. I like doing that, I like how it looks, but all the anxiety I felt about having to do it every other day? Gone.

Douching.My hole is so happy to be on vacation. That was such a chore. I can’t tell you the amount of frustration that has vanished. No more ducking into public restrooms to double check the fuck-ability of my poop shoot. No more wondering if I douched enough or too much. No more wondering if I’m going to show up on time only to discover that I’m not good to go. Next time I shove water up my love canal will be for some special occasion. Or maybe because I fell in love with a recently purchased zucchini (Veggie Love!).

Disappointment.Turns out - no sex really is better than bad sex. I love that I haven’t had to perform for someone out of obligation. No mercy fucks. Nor have I had that sinking feeling when I open the mystery date door only to discover that ‘football player’s build’ translates, not into Aarron Rogers, but into Refrigerator Perry.

Lack of sleep and feeling worn out.Sex is a lot of work. It takes its toll on the body. So I’ve discovered that the exhaustion I frequently felt come Friday has less to do with my work week than all the fucking around I tried to accomplish during the week. Also, I am sleeping better, because I am not all jazzed up from being on the internet desperately-seeking-human. That on-line cruising frequently leads to unmet expectations and needs which cumulate into frustration which then causes me a restless night. I like my zzzzz’s

Yes, I realize this is a little too early in the game to start proclaiming victory, but hey, seven days in, I am feeling a lot less frustrated than I thought I would be. It kind of goes to my whole ‘I am not a sex addict’ stance. The dude on that ‘Bad Sex’ show on LOGO was going bonkers after two days.

I do worry that I’ve reached this state, not out of a real desire to limit the number of sexual encounters I engage in, but due to my age. You know, like some version of male men-on-pause? I would want to rally against the fading of my mojo by over-compensating. Which may be what I have, in fact, been doing. But I don’t think so. I’m still horny – as evidenced by the three very sexual dreams I had this morning before waking and the incredible stiffy I had pressed into my mattress for most of the night. So it’s unlikely that waning libido is the cause of my current relaxed state.

In conclusion, I’m happier for doing this. So, I do believe I will continue to abstain from getting on-line or cruising for sex in parks. If I have sex, I want it to be special, not just the daily special.
Seven days! Here’s to seven more!
