100 Reasons Why I Love My Wife – Reason 46

I married the most beautiful woman in the world.

It’s true although I didn’t believe it until it happened. When I saw my wife walking down the aisle at the church, there wasn’t another woman who could compare.

If I was honest, I would have to say that my wife has gotten better looking since the wedding as well…..

Fictional Sex

<RANT>

Inspired by the book review below…

If you are writing a novel that is a military thriller or something, don’t put in a pointless sex scene just to make it obvious that the main characters are doing it, and don’t type it in such a way that you want to laugh rather than sneak off to the bathroom.

Why waste words describing what she feels when she puts her hand in his pants, or describing the mans amazing physique if you are not going to refer to it again, kinda pointless and kinda spoiled the rest of it for me. I have nothing against a sex scene in a book if its required, and part of the story but it needs to be as well written as the rest of the book.

Every author seems to tackle the subject in different ways, but most try to make it a cheap turn on for the reader which doesn’t always work. Lawrence Block with his Burglar series does the opposite and that works very well. Taking it one step further, Stephen Coonts with his Jake Grafton stories created a couple who couldn’t have children and who adopted. That totally utterly rocks as it isn’t trying to make the hero some stud who can get women pregnant at the drop of her pants. Real life is not like that.

I have seen online ‘scenes’ that would have made the best authors proud, and the worst sex scenes in books that just made me cringe and which spoiled the story. I truly believe that if you are trying to set a story in the real world, then you should have real sex, with women who don’t orgasm multiple times the first time they sleep with someone new, and a guy who perhaps doesn’t put horses to shame.

I have read some very enjoyable sex scenes in novels, and got turned on by them, but don’t write a sex scene just to turn on the reader. There are books specially for that kind of work, as well as magazines and not forgetting the wonderful internet! If I buy a book about world war 3, I don’t want to have two characters making the beast with two backs. If you are a good writer, you can imply what they have done much classier than just writing about the ins and outs and the amazing bodies etc…..

Book Review – Chains Of Command – Dale Brown

Book

A disgraced Weapons Officer and a female pilot find themselves fighting against a Russian invasion of the Ukraine.

The normal Dale Brown fare although a little more technical than usual. As always, the plot is intricate and well thought out, rivaling Tom Clancy. The main characters are useful and interesting but not outstanding.

My one grip is that obvious attraction between the two main characters which is consummated with the description of their lovemaking that is worse than some cybersex I have seen.

Not bad, not great!

How good are you?

I don’t know about you but I have found that women generally believe themselves to be skilled in the art of the bedroom, and I don’t mean knowing what colour Martha Stewart would pick for the ceiling. I have heard many lines boasting the talents of women, from the best blow job you will ever have, to the wildest night, all the way to, you will be so sore in the morning you’ll beg me to stop.

Now I enjoy a good piece of, fantasy, as well as the next man but how do you know how good you are? Have you compared yourself to others? Watched and compared notes? Perhaps video’d a session and had a couple of sexperts critique your style and passion? How do you know your blow job cannot be beaten…. oh wait, because your last boyfriend told you how good it was? If so, check out this

The thing I don’t understand is how a woman can look at you, or just type to you (in this day and age) and know exactly what you like in bed? How does she know what positions you prefer, what acts, where you like to be kissed even? She doesn’t and she won’t find out unless there is communication between you. Sex isn’t a one player sport (not often anyway) so it takes at least two to tango correctly! One can lead and the other follow but if one has lead boots, the dance is never going to be as graceful and elegant as it would be if both were experts. Sorry, too much dancing on the stars…

Back to the point or so, everyone is probably good in their own opinion, the same way that people think they are better drivers, singers, dancers, etc,  than everyone else, and until the moment when the realization sinks in, they will continue every onward believing this. And lets face it, who is going to rollover in bed and start giving marks out of ten for performance, staying power and bendiness? Other than a bastard like me anyway?

Makes me think of the classic, and I mean truly classic joke that men tell. “Why do women take longer to orgasm than men? Who cares”……….

And on that note, its off to the spare bedroom for me…..

Things I hope to teach my sons…continued

3) Sun screen, even in March is important if sitting on a patio for more than five minutes. Red can look attractive but not if you look like a lobster!

4) I hope my sons learn a second language, be it French, Spanish or sign language. If you can talk in a different language, you can make friends that you wouldn’t normally have. Besides, foreign girls are hot *lol*

Things I hope to teach my sons…

An ongoing list of things that I hope I will be able to teach my sons as they group up. Some things I know how to do, other I will have to learn.

1) I hope I can teach my sons how to use chopsticks when the food calls for it. Knives and forks are fine but its good to have different options.

2) I hope I can teach my sons to catch bare handed rather than wearing a glove. After all, if you can catch bare handed, you can use a glove but if you can’t catch without a glove…. you’ll never play cricket!

…to be continued…

Two's company, three's a party

What happens if its over way too soon, you are disappointing not one person (who is probably used to it) but two! What if the ladies enjoy themselves more without you? What if you miss your sports team win an important game?

Yes, I know I am writing this as a female/male/female combination but hey, its my alleged fantasy!

How do you go about setting ground rules? Not touching here, not proding there, no kissing (I watched Pretty Woman). Do you write them down and sign? Is it a verbal agreement that cannot be used in court? Do you spit and shake (well maybe later….).

Come to think of it, how do you choose the third hand as it were? Who has the final say as to who is picked? Does the partner and if so, does she pick someone less attractive than herself? Does the man pick someone he fancies? Complete stranger, close friend, paid helper?

Then you have the question of what to do, kissing and cuddling, let your fingers do the walking, lip service, or full on leather bindings and candle wax?

So many decisions, so many booby traps.

Baby Pics

Nathan

Boy have I grown up. I was looking at some baby pictures of myself to see if my kids look like me, and well, sometimes they do and sometimes their dad looks like a freak! This is what happens when you are young and your mother cuts your hair. You would have thought that the bowl was on my head straight but perhaps I have a strange shaped head? I find it interesting to see how my face changed as I grew up, and now I know why I try to avoid having my picture taken!
