TMI Tuesday #63

1. Have you ever sent or received a sext message?
Neither sent or received one. I don't text very often.

2. Have you ever made or received a booty call?
Yes, I have made a phone call with the express purpose of obtaining sex, and yes, it worked out.

3. Have you ever added or edited a word/entry to Wikipedia or Urban Dictionary or any other online reference?
No I haven't.

4. At what age did you have your first consensual sexual experience?
I was around 17 or 18 years of age. It was with a girl I had met at a party and we went back to her place.

5. What has been the greatest age difference between you a consensual sexual partner?
About 4 years. I was the younger person in the relationship.

Bonus (as in optional): Why do you blog?
I started blogging as way of telling my story, and share the secrets that I normally have to keep to myself. However, over recent times I have become a bit lazy and these days I tend to just do these few memes each week along with a HNT if I can squeeze it in. If anyone was interested in hearing more of my adventures then perhaps I could be motivate to continue the tale.

HNT #40 - Helping Hand

Everybody needs a helping hand

Take a look at your fellow man
And tell me what can I do today
'Cause everybody needs a helping out
If that ain't what it's all about
Tell me what
What can I do

What can I do today

- B. Darnell, T. Sims, & A. Grant

(performed by Amy Grant)

Os has all the other HNT players for this week.

Apologies for the lack of a HNT last week. Doctor's appointments and subsequent examinations on a troublesome shoulder conspired to rob me of any spare time that I may have otherwise had. The shoulder issue hasn't been resolved yet but I am ever optimistic.

Wednesday Weirdness #40.

1.) What is your significant others worst habit?
Squeezing the toothpaste from the middle of the tube. Yeah, I know that on the scale of things it isn't the worst habit that a person could have, but I still find it annoying when I have to squeeze all the toothpaste up the tube just to get enough to clean my teeth.

2.) What piece of clothing that isn't lingerie or an undergarment do you have that you feel especially sexy/handsome in?
My 501 Levis with the button fly. I love wearing them, and with Winter just around the corner ( I hope) I will soon be able to wear them again. I also have a Hurley long sleeved top that I feel particularly good in and it goes so well with my Levis.

3.) If you could drink ONLY two beverages for the rest of your life, which would you pick?
Coffee as my first choice. I can't imagine not being able to drink a cup of coffee, and there are just so many ways to drink it and so many different types and flavours. My second drink would be Highland Park Scotch whiskey. I am not a big alcohol drinker but I do appreciate the occasional glass of this fine, single malt whiskey.

4.) What is your worst habit?
I pick and bite my nails. Particularly if I am bored, anxious or nervous.

5.) Are you superstitious in any way?
No I am not. I used to be as a kid but I have managed to convince myself that it is nothing more than silly folklore and that the odds of anything bad (or good) happening because of a certain event or set of circumstances are no greater or less than they would normally be. (touch wood).

6.) What kind of shopping do you hate doing most? (Grocery shopping, clothes shopping, shoe shopping, etc)
Shoe and clothes shopping. I only ever do them out of necessity and it always seems to take longer than I had planned. It is not something I derive a lot of pleasure from and so i don't put much time or effort into it.

7.) What was a “fad” you remember from your childhood?
Yo-yos. Rubik's cube. Collector cards in bubblegum packets. And we used to clip playing cards onto our bikes so that they made a noise in the wheel spokes and sounded like a motor bike (or at least they did to our young ears). We rode everywhere with those things pegged to our forks.

TMI Tuesday #62

1. Ever Googled a date, a potential date or an ex?
I do recall entering a few ex girlfriend's names into google, but I don't think it came back with much.

2. Do you gossip?
Generally, no. But there have been occasions when I have indulged in a good story about someone else.

3. How many people do you completely trust?
I don't think I completely trust anyone, and that includes myself.

4. Have you ever had sex in car?
Many a time. I used to meet a lady friend at lunchtime and it often used to result in sex in either her car or mine. They were some hot times.

5. What is your best flirting technique: innuendo, telling a dirty joke, talking about sex life, or physical contact?
Innuendo tends to be my flirt of choice. It is just something that I feel good with. Must be all those years of watching British comedy, well known for it's innuendo and double entendres.

Bonus (as in optional): How many times is the most you have ever had sex in a 24 hour period?
I think about four or five times when I was much younger than I am now. That was in a night, so probably just a 12 hour period. I would like to have 24 hours to devote to nothing but sex.

Wednesday Weirdness #39.

1.) In your opinion, what is your biggest character flaw?
I probably have 2. One is that I tend to trust people too much, although I am getting better in this regard. The other is that I always want to please people and try hard not to let anyone down or to disappoint people. This stems from a desire to have people like me or approve of me and probably has to do with my low self esteem. Don't get me started on that because that is a real can of worms.

2.) What do you think is one of the worst television shows ever created?
There is a lot of mainstream TV that I don't like so please don't get me started on this one either. Just about any reality show is boycotted by me, and I am sick to death of cooking shows and renovation/make-over shows. Most of it is just cheap filler because the networks can't be bothered to make real, quality drama.

3.) Have you ever ended up injured after trying an interesting new sex position?
I can't say that I have. Maybe that is because I am generally a fit person, or it could be because I haven't tried anything that pushes my physical boundaries.

4.) How crucial do you think communication is between you and a regular sexual partner? Do you talk often about what works, what doesn't, things you want to try, etc or do you keep the discussions to a minimal and let the physical flow as it may?
Generally I just go with the physical flow, but with one partner I had a year or so ago, we had a good rapport and used to discuss what worked and what didn't, etc.

5.) Who are your favorite comedic actors/actresses?
Steve Martin, Eddie Murphy, Bill Murray (although he has gone more dramatic of late), Dan Ackroyd, John Belushi, Mike Myers, Tina Fey. How bad is that, I can only think of one female. Someone enlighten me, please!

6.) In what way(s) do you wish your childhood was different?
My father was sick for most of my childhood and died at the end of my teenage years. If I could I would like to have my childhood again with my father healthy so we could do simple things like kicking a ball to each other, going fishing, and all those other things that boys are supposed to do with their Dads. I'm not complaining because at least I had both parents and I wasn't abused, but a healthy Dad would have been a lot of fun.

7.) Cotton Candy; Delicious treat or disgusting mess?
Definitely a delicious treat, although in the hands of young children it can become a disgusting mess.

TMI Tuesday #61

1. Don't tell us what it is, but do you have a sexual secret you have never told anyone?
I don't believe that I do have a sexual secret, apart from the fact that I have sex with other women, but that isn't really a secret if you are a reader of this blog.

2. Do you have a nonsexual secret you have never told anyone?
This would be the same answer as above. That is about the only secret that I am aware that I have. Nobody in 'real life' knows of my secret and so maybe this blog is part of the way I share the burden.

3. Did you ever tell someone a secret only to have them spill it? What were the repercussions?
I do recall telling a friend at school that I had a crush on a girl. He then went and told her, along with about 100 other people. She announced to the world (well everyone who was listening) that she didn't like me and wanted nothing to so with me. I swear I died a thousand deaths that day.

4. Did you ever spill a secret someone told you? What were the repercussions?
Not that I can recall. Although there was this one time at band camp ... Seriously though, I think I am pretty good at keeping secrets.

5. Tell us a secret someone told you, however along ago, that you've never told. (You can disguise name or details)
I can't think of any secrets at the moment, and even if I did I'm not sure that I would share it. After all, that is the whole point of a secret, isn't it?

HNT #39 - Tangled Up In Blue.

Early one mornin' the sun was shinin',

I was layin' in bed
Wondrin' if she'd changed at all
If her hair was still red...

...Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through,
Tangled up in blue.

- B. Dylan

Pay a visit to Os to meet the other HNT players.

Wednesday Weirdness #38.

1. What makes a person sexy to you?
Any number of things. Dark hair, olive skin, dark smouldering eyes, tattoos, certain piercings, and accents when they speak. These are just some of the things I find that make a woman sexy to me. There are many others, and often they are contradictory to those features I have just mentioned. For example, I also find red heads with fair skin to be very sexy as well. Hell, there are lots of things I find sexy about women.

2. When having the 'number of sex partners' talk with a potential significant other, would you be turned off if they had slept with more than a certain number of people? If yes, what is that number?
No, I don't think I would be turned off if they had had more than 'X' number of partners. I don't have a number in mind, and in fact I might even be a little turned on by someone who is more 'experienced', as I am sure they would know their way around a partner's body.

3. Once and for all, pocketbook sized dogs and the people who carry them in pocketbooks. Cute or crazy?
Crazy. If you are going to have a dog then at least get a decent sized dog. Dogs that are smaller than cats, I just don't get what that is all about.

4. Do you give up anything for Lent? If so, what?
Nope. I'm not that religious so my life just rolls on as it always does.

5. If you live with someone, what is the one thing you will never let them see you do?
Using the bathroom for a #2. I don't think anyone needs to be there for that, and if I could find a way to do it with out my being there, then I might seriously consider that option.

TMI Tuesday #60

1. Are you pro-marriage? Why or why not?
I am not against the institution of marriage. I think it is wonderful that 2 people want to commit to each other for life. However, I also know that people change over the course of their life, and that what was right for someone many years ago may not necessarily be so now. So while I am an advocate of marriage, I am also realistic enough to know that people grow apart and change maybe required. Is that answer ambiguous enough?

2. Have you ever invented or thought you invented a sexual position?
I can't say that I ever have, and I am sure that if I came up with something that I considered new I would later find out that everyone had been using it for years and were onto the next big thing.

3. Do you like to be tied up? Always or sometimes?
I have only been tied up once and I quite liked it, so it is something I am keen to try again.

4. Do you consider online cybering adultery?
No I don't, but I know plenty of people who disagree with me.

5. Do you prefer masturbation over real sex?
No. Masturbation can be part of the sex act, but when performed alone I consider it to be inferior to real sex.

6. Do you want sex more times a day than your partner?
Always.

7. Do you get offended when you partner openly flirts with others or are you okay with it?
Mrs A. doesn't usually flirt but I am sure that it wouldn't offend me greatly if she did.

8. Do you think you're flirty by nature?
In certain situations I think I can be quite flirty. I wouldn't say I was flirty all the time, but in the right environment ...

HNT #38 - Cover of the Rolling Stone.

We take all kind of pills to give us all kind of thrills but the thrill we've never known

Is the thrill that'll getcha, when you get your picture, on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone wanna see my picture on the cover-
Stone- wanna buy 5 copies for my mother-
Stone- wanna see my smilin' face

on the cover of the Rolling Stone.

- S. Silverstein (Dr Hook)

Well, I can't see my smiling face on the cover of Rolling Stone either, but this is probably as close as I am ever going to get.
Go see Os to see who else is starring in their own HNT this week.

Wednesday Weirdness #37.

1. What is one thing one of your closest friends does that drives you batshit crazy?
Probably the unannounced drop in. I have one friend who is notorious for it, and while I don't mind that he cares enough to want to stop by, sometimes I would like a little advance warning.

2. When buying a new sex toy, what are the features you look for that you absolutely have to have?
Since I have never bought a sex toy I am not sure what features I would need it to have. Equating it to buying a power tool, I am assuming that I would want it to be capable of handling the tasks that I require of it, and that it would do those tasks in an efficient and reliable manner.

3. If you woke up the opposite gender for one day, what would be the biggest downside to that for you?
If it was only for one day then I imagine that the biggest downside would be having to sit down to pee. I can't imagine having to do that each and every time. Blokes have it much easier in that department.

4. Do you use curse words in front of children?
Unfortunately I do on occasion. It is only my own children, but I am not proud of the fact that they can wear me down to the point of swearing around them. As a positive, it doesn't happen very often, but it still happens.

5. If you were zapped with a laser and turned into an animated character, what Disney movie would you hate to play a part in?
Finding Nemo. While I like to swim, I generally do so only in the relative safety of a swimming pool. Swimming in the ocean has been something I rarely do, ever since seeing the Jaws movies when I was a teenager. This summer has seen a spate of shark attacks (some fatal) at various beaches around Australia and that has done nothing to allay my fears of swimming in open water. Finding Nemo has both open water and sharks so I will pass on a role in that movie.

6. How would you react to your partner answering a phone call or text message during foreplay or intercourse?
Not well. It would probably kill the moment. I can only assume that she wasn't that in to it if she could be bothered with a phone call or text. Let it go to message and answer it later.

7. What are three things you want to try doing but haven't yet? (They can be sexual or non-sexual, doesn't matter.)
Running a marathon.
A threesome.
Role playing, and maybe some bondage.

TMI Tuesday #59

1. Is there a sexual act/position/practice that you were sure in advance you would hate (or never try) and then discovered to your surprise you loved?
I can't think of anything, but then I am not the most sexually experienced person around. There is lots that I haven't tried.

2. Is there a sexual act/position/practice that proved a lot less interesting in practice than you thought it would be beforehand?
I have enjoyed pretty much all the sexual acts and positions that I have tried. Nothing seemed to be a disappointment that I can remember.

3. How do you let your significant other know you're in the mood? How do you let a new person in your life know?
Mrs A. knows that I am always in the mood so she doesn't have to worry about picking up the subtle hints.

4. How does your significant other let you know he/she is in the mood?
Mrs A. is rarely in the mood, but she will say so if she is.

5. Is there one that got away - a sexual opportunity you didn't realise was one at the time, or weren't ready for and regret missing ever since?
I can't recall a missed opportunity and I usually try to make the best of what ever comes my way.
