TMI Tuesday #58

1. What do find is the most exciting part of a new sexual encounter?
The exploring of each other's body. Finding out what they like, where they like to be touched, and how they like it to be done.

2. Do you have "a most exciting part of a sexual encounter" with a usual partner?
My usual partner is Mrs A. and since sex occurs so infrequently, the most exciting part is when she actually decides to say 'Yes'. After that, everything else is pretty much routine.

3. How open and honest are you about your life with someone you just met?
Generally I am fairly open and honest. I may not necessarily volunteer information but if the person asks me a direct question then I will give an open and honest answer. There are exceptions however, and I wouldn't give open honest answers about things such as my lady friends and what we get up to. That information is off limits to all but those involved.

4. How open and honest are you about your life with someone you work with?
Same deal as the previous question, but there are more limits on the things that work colleagues need to know. My private life is just that, private, and work place friends don't get to find out about it.

5. How open and honest are you about your life with a casual acquaintance who lives in your neighborhood (or the parent of your child's friend or...)?
Open to a point, but only on general topics. They don't need to know too much about what is going on in my life.

Bonus (as in optional): Define "normal" as in "normal relationship" or "normal sex life".
Normal is what each person in the relationship is comfortable with. Normal for me would certainly not be normal for other couples, and vice versa. Normal is self defining with-in the relationship and will ultimately change with the passage of time.
People who are not sure about what is normal may want to borrow Dana's 'Normal meter', assuming she is not using it.
