TMI Tuesday #65

1. Marriage and children aside, what has been your greatest accomplishment in life?
Just to have lived a happy and healthy life to this point in time.

2. Aside from healthy and happy children, what is your greatest ambition for the future?
To continue to live a long, happy and healthy life. Having just lost an associate to cancer, it brings home the value of one's health.

3. If we were to enter your real name in a search engine, what would we find?
Not much. I have googled myself in the past but it didn't amount to much. Maybe that says something about me, or perhaps I just fly under the radar?

4. Who is the most famous person you ever met (not just in the same room as, but actually spoke with)?
When I was at school I won a math competition and got to caddy for the Australian Cricket Team during a golf day between test matches. I'm not really a big cricket fan but it was quite a buzz to spend a whole day with people you have only ever seen on TV.

5. Parents aside, who is your biggest hero?
Spiderman. He is so cool and I wish I could do all the things he does, including kissing Kirsten Dunst.

6. Someone once worked out the sexual version of Six Degrees of Separation - Celebrity A slept with B, who slept with C, who slept with D, making as sort of connection between A and D. Are you connected to anyone famous through six or fewer bonks?
I doubt I would be connected to anyone famous. Although, I could probably say Pamela Anderson, or Paris Hilton and be close, because haven't so many people slept with them?

TMI Tuesday #64

1. Have you ever had a sexual experience with the opposite sex?
Er, Yes! All my sexual experiences have been with the opposite sex. Perhaps this question is meant to infer an experience with the sex opposite to that normally chosen. If that is the case then the answer would be no. I am male and all my sexual experiences have been with females.

2. When you see someone you like, how do you act, how do you get their attention?
Gosh, I really don't know. I do know that when I am attracted to someone, my brain usually shuts down and I can't think of a damn thing to say or do and so I end up standing there stupidly like a big puppy dog, staring and trying not to drool. I've never been very good at breaking the ice so I would hope that they notice me and make the first move.

3. Dominate or dominated, which do you prefer?
Neither. I haven't had much experience with either so I couldn't really say I prefer one over the other. I would like to try dominating though. I think that the power that comes with being in control of a sexual experience could be quite intoxicating.

4. Would you/ Have you ever had a threesome?
I have never had a threesome but it is something that I would like to try. 2 girls and a guy sounds a lot of fun, but I wouldn't rule out 2 guys and a girl as long as I was one of the guys.

5. When was the last time you had sex?
Honestly, I couldn't tell you. It has been quite a while. Certainly not in the last month, and probably only once this year.

6. Sex on the first date...good or bad?
Good. I don't see anything wrong with it. If 2 people are into each other, and it is going to happen eventually, why not sooner rather than later? Except if you are my daughter (when she gets old enough to start dating) and then it is BAD, very BAD!!

7. Do you have any random or out of the ordinary turn ons?
I don't think so. I love having my nipples played with but I don't think that is 'out of the ordinary'.

8. What attributes attract you to a potential partner.
Apart from a weakness for sultry eyes any other attributes would be personality traits. I like people who are easy going, compassionate, able to laugh at themselves, and who appreciate my sometimes odd sense of humour. Physical attributes are really just window dressings for the person that lies within.

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.

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.

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?

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 ...

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.

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.

TMI Tuesday #57

1. What is your favorite charity? Do you you give your time or just money to that charity?
The charity that is closest to my heart is the Multiple Sclerosis Society. My father died from complications brought on by MS and I support them when ever I can.

2. Describe your bed. What side do you sleep on?
When lying on the bed on your back, I sleep on the left side of the bed. I always have and it just doesn't feel right to sleep on the other side. My bed is just an ordinary double bed. I am seriously considering upgrading to a queen or king sized bed simply because my feet go right to the bottom of the bed and it can get a little uncomfortable when it is tucked in during winter.

3. How important is a partners kissing ability?
A good kiss sets the scene for everything that is to follow so I consider it to be quite important. A kiss can be all it takes to light the fuse that ignites the fireworks. Unlike the article that this question refers to, I don't like a kiss that is too wet or slobbery. A firm, drier kiss with a touch of assertiveness is much more desirable.

4. Have you ever "taken advantage" of a person under the influence of alcohol? Have you ever been "taken advantage" of while under the influence of alcohol?
The answer would be no to both of those questions. While I have had partners when one or both of us have been under the influence of alcohol, I don't think either party took advantage of the other.

5. Ever tried to replay the famous scene from From Here to Eternity? How was it?
I can't recall ever having tried it. While it looks romantic, and I love that movie, I can imagine that in reality it is less so. All the sand stirred up by the crashing waves could cause considerable chaffing if one wasn't careful. But in the interests of research I am prepared to subject myself to such dangers if I can find a partner who is equally willing.

Bonus (as in optional): What kind of birth control do you use?
I have been to the vet to be fixed so I no longer have to worry about birth control. I do, however, practise safe sex.

TMI Tuesday #56

1. What do you think is the un-sexiest part of the body?
Feet. Sure some people have nice feet, but I wouldn't say feet are particularly sexy. At least I don't find them to be so.

2. Toilet paper: over, under, or what the hell are you talking about?
Over. It doesn't seem right to have it under.

3. Have you ever called in sick to stay in bed with a sexual partner?
I can't say that I ever have. It would be nice to have that opportunity at some time.

4. Did your parents have a "birds & bees" talk with you? If so, at what age?
I don't remember having that talk with my parents. I seem to recall that it was explained by a nervous male teacher during Sex Ed in my early high school years.

5. What is one thing a someone could do to you to rock your world?
Of a sexual nature it is hard to go past having my nipples played with or licked, but a blow job might just come close. Non-sexual, a back massage is pretty darn good.

Bonus (as in optional):What does sex mean to you?
A connection of mind, body and spirit. Two people totally there for the enjoyment of each other as well as themselves.

TMI Tuesday #55

1. When you sleep with someone, how much or how little contact do you like to have?
If it is just sleeping with the person, as in getting a good night's sleep, then it depends on the weather. If it's the middle of a heatwave like we are experiencing at the moment then as little body contact as possible is the preferred option. However, in winter, lots of snuggling and spooning is the way to go.

2. What do you think there is a appropriate amount of time for a divorce parent to date before introducing the kids to the "new" "special" person in their life?
I have no idea and I guess it depends when the single parent feels the new relationship has reached a level where it is appropriate to meet the kids. Each case would be different and would depend on the individuals involved.

3. Which ONE do you wish you had more of in bed... romance, experimentation or foreplay?
Can I pick all 3? I guess not since the question only asks for one. I'll choose foreplay. Can there ever be too much foreplay?

4. What do you thinks makes a kiss great?
I'm not sure what it is that makes a kiss great. I suppose it comes under the heading of chemistry. We all know when it is there, just as we all know when it is missing.

5. Describe your sex life in two words.
Non Existent.

Bonus (as in optional): Do you remember a time when you were having sex that you smile or even laugh about now? Do tell....
I always laugh about the time my special friend and I incorporated whipped cream and M & M's into our love making. It made an awful mess all over the sheets of the hotel room we were renting. I have told the story before in a previous TMI if you care to go back and read it.

TMI Tuesday #54 - Movie Edition

1. What was the last movie you saw in a theater?
The last movie I saw was about a month before Christmas and it was "Body of Lies" with Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't get to the movies very often so that is quite a recent one for me.

2. What is your favorite movie theater snack?
Definitely popcorn. What else is there to munch on during a movie? Actually, don't answer that.

3. Have you ever snuck in 'outside' food into a theater?
Where I live, we are allowed to bring 'outside' snacks into movies provided it is with in reason.

4. Have you ever made out in a theater?
Yep!! Who hasn't? Isn't that what the back rows are for??

5. What is the 'farthest' you have gone in a theater?

Just a few rows from the front. Any closer than that and I get a headache.
Oh, I see what you mean. In that case it would be what we used to call 'second base'. Lots of kissing and a bit of a feel up.

Bonus (as in optional): What is one of your favorite movie sex scene?
Basic Instinct. Which one, I hear you ask. Well the one that occurs fairly early on in the movie between Michael Douglas and Jeanne Tripplehorn. Michael Douglas has so much pent up sexual tension that he literally attacks Jeanne Tripplehorn. It is very forceful, but I recall it being a huge turn on for me when I saw it. Perhaps I have some of that pent up tension?

TMI Tuesday #53

1. Have you ever dated/married purely for money?
No, I can't say that I ever have. I think that that would be way too shallow, and besides, I don't know anyone with that much money. (Only joking) All my relationships have been based on genuine emotions and feelings and/or physical attractiveness. The size of the bank book has never come into it.

2. What is your type?
I'm not sure that I have a type. If you are asking what sort of girls I am attracted to then I am not sure that even that could be neatly pigeon holed. I do have a weakness for dark haired girls with mocha coloured skin and Spanish accents, but I wouldn't say it was my type because I have never been with one. It's just a fantasy of mine.

3. What is the best sex game you have ever played?
I have played so few sex games that this question would be almost null and void. Spin the bottle and strip poker are about it for me, but I am always ready to be educated...

4. Have you ever given or received an orgasm from a person whose last name you did not know?
Yes. A lady I met for coffee last year turned into an encounter on a quiet nature trail near where we met. We were both only on a first name basis and to this day, even though we haven't met since, we don't know each others surnames or any other details about each other.

5. Have you ever masturbated in front of a sexual partner?
No. I haven't been asked to but perhaps that is something I ought to try. However I will be a bit more tactful than the Seinfeld episode where Elaine's date just takes "it", "out"!

Bonus (as in optional):At what age do you think men and women reach their sexual peak? Do you think you have hit yours yet?
I am inclined to agree with the generally held opinion of men hitting their peak just before 20, and women reaching theirs around 30. If this is the case then I am well and truly past my peak, even if it doesn't feel like it some days.

TMI Tuesday #52

I am back from my 2 week Summer beach vacation which ran from Christmas until the later part of last week. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit my HNT's which I scheduled before I left. What better way to start the year of than with a round of TMI. I have a feeling that I have already answered the questions that were posted for this week, so I went with last week's questions since I didn't get to play along last week. Hope nobody minds too much?

'Would you rather...' edition

1. Would you rather be stranded on an island alone or with someone you dislike/don't get along with?
Alone. I don't mind my own company and I think it would be preferable to spending my time with someone I disliked or didn't get along with.

2. Would you rather accidentally walk in on your parents having sex or have them walk in on you?
I don't even want to think about my parents having sex, let alone walk in and see it and have that image burned into my memory for life, so I would opt to have them walk in on me. That is easier for me to deal with.

3. Would you rather be snapped by paparazzi during a nipple slip or while exiting a car with out any underwear?
(guys, consider similar circumstances)
I think a nipple slip would be less embarrassing than a 'no undies' shot, particularly if it is likely to finish up on the cover of some trashy gossip mag. Nipple slip for me.

4. Would you rather not have sex for two years or not be able to use the Internet for two years?
No Internet for me. I would miss it but I am sure I could find something else to do. No sex for 2 years doesn't bear thinking about, although my life often resembles this scenario.

5. Would you rather find true love or 1 million dollars?
This is a hard one. True love is worth more than any dollar amount, and yet 1 million dollars can buy an awful lot of fun, love and happiness. I know I should say true love, but right at this moment in time I think I would take the money. The question doesn't state whether the true love will last and I couldn't take another heart break right now.

Bonus (as in optional): If you had to choose *one* sexual position for the rest of your life, what would it be? Why?
I have many favourite positions, but if forced to choose just one for the rest of my life I would opt for the missionary position. I like this one because I can look into my partner's eyes in this position, and it also allows her to stimulate my nipples which is a real turn on for me. I also like the full body contact that this position affords.

TMI Tuesday #51

1. What is the greatest age difference between between yourself and a SO? Older or younger?
Greatest age difference would be 2 years, and I was the oldest one in the relationship.

2. What is the greatest age difference between between yourself and any sexual partner? Older or younger?
Probably about 4 years or so and I was the youngest.

3. Have you started your holiday shopping? Is it done?
I have definitely started, but I still have a few more gifts to get. Once again I leave it to the last few days and get caught in the rush.

4. What are the chances there will be a "naughty" present under the tree this year (either from you or for you)?
No chance at all. That ain't never going to happen in this house.

5. What is your favorite holiday song?
I don't know whether it is a Christmas song as such, but my favourite Christmas themed song is "Santa Claus is Coming To Town" by Bruce Springsteen. Traditional Christmas song would be "Jingle Bells" or "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" because I know all the words and they are fun to sing, particularly with kids.

Bonus (as in optional):Do you have a preferred time of day to have sex? If so, why?
I have no preferred time and I will take it at any time of the day or night. Gee, that makes me sound awfully cheap but it is a reality for me. I do have a desire to be awoken by a woman who has already started to have her way with me. I can't ever remember starting the day that way.

TMI Tuesday #50

1. Do you consider sexy underthings a present for you or your partner?
I would consider sexy underwear to be a present that is best enjoyed by both the giver and the receiver. Surely that would be the whole point of giving sexy underwear as a gift?

2. What are 3 characteristics of "your type"? Have you best relationship(s) been with your type or when you have gone against it?
This question has been asked before and I didn't know what 'my type' was back then, and I still don't have a clue. Perhaps someone can enlighten me.

3. What is on your Santa list this year?
I haven't really given much consideration to a Santa list this year. I will just be appreciative of what ever I receive, and thankful for the fact that someone thought of me.

4. Generally speaking, who has historically had a higher libido, you or your partner(s)?
That would be me. Mrs A's libido is almost non existent.

5. The unsculptured female bush seems to have passed from fashion. What about men, do you think they need to trim and shave "down there"?
To be honest, I don't really care whether men trim or shave "down there" because I am not interested in that area of men. However, I do keep myself trim and partially shaved. I believe that if a woman wants to pleasure me in that area then it should be neat and tidy so she can find her way around and not have to contend with a jungle and a mouth full of fur.

Bonus (as in optional):What are a few of your favorite things (both sexual non-sexual)?
Sexual Favourites:- Hot, passionate kisses, Oral sex both giving and receiving, the Complete abandonment of wild fucking, and Cuddling in the afterglow
Non-sexual Favourites:- include the smell of fresh coffee, thunderstorms, the ocean (and the beach) in winter, marshmallows, dark chocolate, getting caught in the rain, freshly mown grass. There are many others, but these are top of the list for me.

TMI Tuesday #49

1. What are your turn-ons?
Regular readers will know that I love eyes. Dark, smouldering eyes that promise pleasures not yet imagined, or eyes wide with innocence and expectation. I can usually find something to like about a woman's eyes. Accents also turn me on and there aren't too many accents that fail to get my attention. Spanish (or Latin American) accents are my favourite, usually because the woman concerned will also have wonderful eyes, dark hair and tanned features.

2. What are your turn-offs?
Smoking, body odour, and rudeness. Not in any particular order, but it is amazing how many times you find all 3 in the one person.

3. Not counting your turn-ons, what's the best trait a person can have?
To be a good listener. Communication is a 2 way street and sometimes all you have to do is shut your mouth and listen to the other person. It's not a difficult concept, but it is one that so many people fail to grasp.

4. Not counting your turn-offs, what's the worst trait a person can have?
Being too opinionated. Unfortunately I work with several people who don't mind sharing their opinions on life, the universe, and everything. Yes, we all have opinions about lots of things, but we don't want to hear your opinion on every little thing followed by a detailed discussion on why it is the right opinion and nobody else's opinion matters.

5. What's your biggest pet peeve?
Cell phones ringing at inappropriate times, and then people answering them. Are you that important that you can't turn your phone off in a movie theatre? And if you answer it, do you really need to discuss your plans for the weekend during one of the quieter parts of the film?

TMI Tuesday #48

1. What is your favorite Thanksgiving food?
We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia so I don't have a favourite food for it, however for a celebration of any sort it is hard to go past a roast dinner. Roast beef or pork would be my favourites, but lamb, chicken or turkey will do just as well.

2. You can flip a switch that will wipe any band or musical artist out of existence. Which one will it be?
Just off the top of my head I would say Coldplay because they play such lifeless music with whining lyrics (in my opinion) and I fail to see how they are as popular as they are. I also wouldn't mind if Michael Jackson was standing close enough to get taken out as well. He never set my world on fire and I see him as a freak.

3. You seem to be having an excellent day because you just came across a hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk. Holy crap, a hundred bucks! How are you gonna spend it?
I would head straight for the music shop or the book shop. I'm sure I could easily spend $100 on Cd's or books.

4. What is your favorite curse word?
Fuck! I say it all the time and that is not a good thing when there are 2 young children in the house. Trouble is, I have been saying it for so long now that it is hard to break the habit.

5. Rufus appears out of nowhere with a time-traveling phone booth. You can go anytime in the PAST. What time are you traveling to and what are you going to do when you get there?
1969. Woodstock. The era of free love and all those great bands, Santana, Hendrix, Joe Cocker, CSNY, Jefferson Airplane, and The Who. What's not to like about that line-up? And not to mention the free love, or did I mention that already?

Bonus (as in optional):You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even cooler is that they endow you with the super-power of your choice! What's it gonna be?
Invisibility. How much fun could you have with the power of invisibility? The possibilities are endless.

TMI Tuesday #47

1. When did you last use your cellular telephone as a flashlight?
I can't say that I have ever used my mobile phone as a flashlight. I actually don't use my mobile phone for anything much at all, including making calls. I find it more of an inconvenience most of the time.

2. On a scale from 1-10, how comfy are you being naked?
About an 8. I am quite comfortable being naked and nudity, either my own or someone else's, doesn't offend me. The only time I might find it uncomfortable to be naked would be if it was a public place and I was the only one out of many people who had shed their clothes. I think that would cause me some embarrassment.

3. What is the longest you've ever been celibate after having lost your virginity?
Hard to remember exactly but it would be quite a while. In my late teens and early twenties there would have been long periods between girlfriends when I wouldn't be getting any action.

4. Have you ever had sex in a car? If yes, since you were a teenager?
Yes. As recently as last year I used to meet a lady at lunchtime near a park and we would have sex in her car or mine. It was a lot of fun, although on warm days it could get quite uncomfortable and sweaty in the back seat of a car.

5. When did you last use food or drink as medication?
Not for a very long time. Many years ago I used alcohol on occasion to help forget bad events, or at least numb the pain, and as a 'nightcap' to help me sleep. Those days are long since passed and these days I very rarely drink at all. I can't say I have ever used food as a medication.

Bonus: Name three words that:
a) get you excited - Wanna have sex? (when some asks me)
b) make you squirm - Can Hubby watch? (I've never been asked this but I wouldn't be comfortable with it)
c) make you laugh - Achmed dead terrorist. (I recently watched a comedy routine by Jeff Dunham featuring Achmed the dead terrorist, and just the thought of it makes me laugh)

TMI Tuesday #46

1. Ever been skinny dipping?
Sure. Skinny dipping is fun, and it just feels so good. I used to do it all the time up til about the age of 20, then only on the odd occasion. Now, I can't remember the last time I went skinny dipping which obviously means it was too long ago.

2. How often do you kiss or make out without it simply being a foreplay activity?
These days, the answer to that question would be never. A few years ago I met a woman and we didn't have anywhere to be intimate so we would often go for a walk in a park, find a bench somewhere quiet and just make out for a while. It was lots of fun, and that would have been the last time that I got to do that.

3. On a scale of 1-10, how content are you with your life? (1 is lowest, 10 is highest) Do you think 'content' and 'happy' the same thing?
I would say between 7 and 8. There are things I would like to change that would increase the score upward but I don't think it will occur anytime soon. I don't think 'content' and 'happy' are the same thing. 'Content' to me means happy to put up with or endure, while 'happy' means, well, happy. Usually happy people are content people, but content people aren't always happy.

4. What do you do to relieve stress?
Very little. Usually it builds up inside doing God knows how much damage to my health. I try to read or listen to music to relax and I guess that helps to relieve stress. If I get really stressed I will often go for a run, and just run to the point of exhaustion, which tends to distract the mind from the stress because you can't think of anything else apart from how knackered you are.

5. What was the special trait in your first lover that made you decide that they were "the one?"
Probably the fact that they were willing to have sex with me on a regular basis. As a horny teenager, all other criteria would have come second to that one.

Bonus: How old were you when you first had sex? (positive experiences here...)
I would have been 17 or 18, and it was a relief to get that first one out of the way. I wondered if it was ever going to happen. I've detailed the experience in a previous TMI.
