Welcome to another TMI Tuesday…

Jack’s Answers

1. Toilet paper. How do you hang your toilet paper? The end coming over the top or with the end coming from around the back and at the bottom?
I usually hang it with the end coming over the top. Growing up, that was considered the “correct” way to do it, as though only the feeble-minded would do it the other way. And while I eventually realized that it doesn’t matter one way or the other – and in fact my parents might not have really cared because at present they hang it either way without much consistency – and while I still do it that way it’s more out of force of habit than any sense that that’s how toilet paper should be hung.

2. Towels. Do you use a new one each time you bathe or reuse?
I re-use. I couldn’t in good conscience wash that many towels. Bad enough that my showers take longer than they probably should given the drought we’re experiencing in California.

3. Bathing. Do you use a washcloth to clean your body or use the soap directly all over your body with no washcloth?
No washcloth. For some reason I feel like I’d need to have grime caked all over my body to justify using a washcloth. I’m not sure why that is, or if it’s even true. I just feel like I can scrub away the day-to-day filth with just my hands.

4. Bra. Do you remove your bra by taking your arms out of the straps first, then inching it around your body until you can reach the clasp and undo it or do you contort your arms, and reach around and unclasp.
I assume this question is directed at my wife, as of the two of us she is the one who wears the bras. Therefore I shall defer to her.

5. Dishwasher. Rinse/pre-wash all dishes before loading or just load.
Depends. Usually I prefer to just put them in, as our dishwasher can handle average amounts of caked-on food and such. But I monitor the dishes once they’re clean to make sure the dishwasher isn’t slacking. If I notice it is I’ll rinse or even scrub them myself.

6. Breakfast cereal. Cereal in bowl first, then pour on milk or put milk in bowl then add cereal?
Cereal first, then milk. What kind of madperson are you?

7. Toothpaste. Squeeze from bottom working way up tube as it empties or squeeze from middle or wherever you want?
I usually squeeze from wherever I want, usually the bulge in the middle. (Yes, that sounds dirty. Deal with it.) As the tube nears its end and I find myself nearly out of toothpaste I will belatedly begin squeezing it from the bottom, hoping to get every last molecule of toothpaste out before tossing the tube into the trash.

8. Condoms. Do you put it on your lover or does he put it on himself?
Again, this seems to be directed at my wife. I’ve never had a lover who wore a condom or answered to male pronouns, which is not to say that I would necessarily rule it out. It just isn’t the way my sexuality works right now. However, I will say that I am generally the one who puts the condom on when I have cause to wear one. Not always, though.

9. Condom disposal. In the garbage bin or flush down toilet?
Garbage. I’m not the sort of maniac to clog our plumbing by introducing unnecessary objects which it cannot handle. However, when I was sixteen I disposed of a condom by tossing it into a nearby body of water. Yes, I believe I pulled it back like a slingshot and let it fly. Yes, I probably got semen all over the ground. Needless to say, it wasn’t my finest hour.

Bonus: Write your own bonus question and tell us an intimate detail about you or your habits.
Bonus question: In what position do you prefer to masturbate?
Bonus answer: Generally I prefer to masturbate on my back. In my younger days I had almost no experience masturbating in this position; I found it easier to masturbate on my knees ostensibly because as a pre-teen and teenager I often worried that I’d have to leap to my feet upon incursion by my parents. Throughout my teens and twenties I used this position the most, which meant that I orgasmed most easily in missionary and doggy-style positions. Jill likes to ride me, and she likes it when I come inside her. Therefore I think I began masturbating on my back so as to make myself more likely to orgasm while on the bottom. It worked!

Jill’s Answers

1. Toilet paper. How do you hang your toilet paper? The end coming over the top or with the end coming from around the back and at the bottom?
Always over the top. I thought that was the only acceptable way to do it! In fact, I’m such a stickler for end-over-top that if Jack hangs it the other way I’ll change it.

2. Towels. Do you use a new one each time you bathe or reuse?
I re-use my towels twice and then wash them.

3. Bathing. Do you use a washcloth to clean your body or use the soap directly all over your body with no washcloth?
I use a loofah to exfoliate. If I’m staying at a hotel I’ll use a washcloth, and if I’m in a hurry I’ll use soap only.

4. Bra. Do you remove your bra by taking your arms out of the straps first, then inching it around your body until you can reach the clasp and undo it or do you contort your arms, and reach around and unclasp.
I usually contort and unclasp, or else ask Jack to do it for me, because he’s very good at removing bras.

5. Dishwasher. Rinse/pre-wash all dishes before loading or just load.
I always rinse or even pre-wash before loading. The dishwasher doesn’t seem to get all the food off if I don’t.

6. Breakfast cereal. Cereal in bowl first, then pour on milk or put milk in bowl then add cereal?
Cereal, then milk. I always feel like if there’s already milk in the bowl when I pour the cereal it’s going to get soggy faster, and soggy cereal is gross.

7. Toothpaste. Squeeze from bottom working way up tube as it empties or squeeze from middle or wherever you want?
I squeeze from the middle. Actually we just switched to jar toothpaste, so I’ve been scooping from the top.

8. Condoms. Do you put it on your lover or does he put it on himself?
I used to put them on Jack when we used them regularly. Other times he put them on himself. Actually now that I think of it when we have threesomes sometimes the third and myself will do it together, or else alternate because he usually uses more than one.

9. Condom disposal. In the garbage bin or flush down toilet?
Definitely the garbage bin. Our pipes can’t handle latex.

Bonus question: After a shower, what do you do first?
Bonus answer: I always dry my legs and arms first, then wrap the towel around myself while I blowdry my hair.
