Spring Time, Sexy Time
Spring has sprung! Supposedly the warmer weather makes us want to strip down and get down. Tell TMI Tuesday blog about your sexy spring.
1. Spring time we start to show more skin. Do you shave (e.g., legs, chest, pubic area, back) more in the spring than you did in the winter?
I have been known to shave a bit, typically my chest, shoulders, and pubic area, though not moreso at any particular time of year. Generally speaking, any touching-up (or allowing to grow out) that I do occurs if I get the impression that someone I’m into has a particular preference. Jill likes me as hairy as Chewbacca, in case you were wondering.
2. Do you or would you have sex with the windows open in the spring?
Technically we can’t have sex in our bedroom with the windows open, because all we have is a sliding glass door. And we do keep it open when we have sex in the spring, but we like a nice breeze in the winter as well. In case you can’t tell, we generate a fair bit of heat in the bedroom.
3. Does your body confidence improve as the weather gets warmer and you body is less covered?
Less covered? Fuck no! I’ve got more genetic defects than a sewer-dwelling mutant rodent in a cheesy direct-to-video sci-fi film from the late 1980s. My body confidence improves when it’s cold out and I can get away with wearing layers. And a parka.
4. Does warmer weather turn you on?
a. Yes, I see more skin and get turned on.
b. No, I like winter– I like to make body heat.
c. Well, I get frisky come spring and flirt more but don’t get more sex.
d. No! I am very self-conscious about showing more of me; warmer weather and skimpy clothes bring out my insecurities.
Warm weather turns me on. Cold weather turns me on. Night turns me on. Day turns me on. There aren’t many circumstances in which I’m not turned on. Speaking for myself, I don’t detect any real connection between the season, weather, or time of year and my friskiness or the likelihood of being turned on. My mind focuses on sex with such regularity that I’m equally likely to flirt, get turned on, and want sex in the chill of autumn or the dead of winter as I am in the heat of summer.
5. Love, romance, and sex. For you, which of these gets better in spring?
Again, sorry to be so noncommittal, but I don’t know that the seasons have anything to do with these three elements. And if they do, I’ve gone nearly forty years of life without noticing. There is nothing about my life that points to a sexy upswell when it gets warm; I’m not a lifeguard living some kind of Baywatch existence, for example.
Bonus: Thinking of a current relationship that is important to you, what “Spring cleaning” needs to be done? Meaning– Assess what serves you–what to you want to keep, what do you want to throw away?
I have pretty much written off a close friend recently; while Jill has been recuperating from an injury suffered several weeks ago and our lives have been thrown into upheaval, this friend has made herself totally scarce, going from regular contact to absolutely no contact whatsoever. Not even the occasional “How’s everything?” text to Jill or to myself. I’m disappointed in her, and no longer see reason to put as much effort into the friendship as I always have. So I guess what I need from a close offline friendship is some measure of empathy and concern. Read between the lines. If I mention that Jill broke a bone and things have gone full-on chaos around the house, check in once in awhile.
