It’s the month of May AND it is time to play TMI Tuesday!

Jack’s Answers

1. May 9 – Today is National Lost Sock Memorial Day. How many single socks do you have because the mate got lost?
At the moment, none. I save single socks for a couple months, and if their counterparts haven’t shown up by then, I toss ’em. I’m not a puppeteer; I don’t see any point holding onto a bunch of uncoupled socks.

2. This month is National Bike Month (in the USA), do you own a bike? When is the last time your rode your bike?
No bike at the moment. The last time I rode my bike was years ago, and unfortunately that’s as precise as I can get. The last time I rode any bike was last week, at the gym. It was a stationary bike, obviously.

3. Of course we all know it is Masturbation Month. How are you celebrating?
Well, not by abstaining, that’s for sure.

4. As a kid, many of us would think or say, “I don’t ever want to be like my mom (or dad)!” Now that you are grown, which parent do you think you are most like.
I’m more like my mother than my father, god help me. My mom was the more empathetic one, whereas my dad was a bit more emotionally distant. I certainly take after my mom when it comes to parenting.

5. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
My parents raised me to be realistic. They told me I was important to them, but that the rest of the world wasn’t going to break a sweat to make me think I mattered. It’s a far cry from the attitude I see from many parents today, i.e. the notion that the world owes their children something. However, it seems like there should be a happy medium. Rather than taking their words as inspiration to work harder, it hurt my confidence for a lot of years. I’m one of billions of human beings on the planet. How could I possibly matter? Nice one, mom and dad.

Bonus: A lot of people do sexting. Do you ever have sexy talk with a real phone call? Do you rehearse what you are going to say or do it freestyle?
It’s rare. I talk on the phone on the following occasions: When calling my clients, something that happens on an almost-daily basis; when Jill is more than half an hour late from work and I call to see where the fuck she is; when on a long car ride by myself if I’ve run out of podcasts to listen to; when my mother invariably calls while I’m masturbating. (I can’t not answer. The one time I don’t, some horrible tragedy will have befallen someone in my family.) These are the only situations wherein I regularly talk on the phone. If Jill and I are spending the night apart, we might engage in a little phone sex, but it’s rare that we do, and when it’s happened it’s been completely freestyle. On my end, anyway. She might be reading from a script.

Jill’s Answers

1. May 9 – Today is National Lost Sock Memorial Day. How many single socks do you have because the mate got lost?
About five. I just tossed a bag full of single socks when their mates failed to show up.

2. This month is National Bike Month (in the USA), do you own a bike? When is the last time your rode your bike?
I don’t own a bike. It’s been years since I’ve been for a bike ride. Jack got me one for Christmas about nine or ten years ago, and while I was pretty good about riding it for awhile, I sold it in 2014 or 2015.

3. Of course we all know it is Masturbation Month. How are you celebrating?
With multiple orgasms every day so far! It’s been awhile since I was able to masturbate daily, but I’m really hoping it continues into June and beyond.

4. As a kid, many of us would think or say, “I don’t ever want to be like my mom (or dad)!” Now that you are grown, which parent do you think you are most like.
My Dad. He is caring and thoughtful, and generally a positive person. [Editor’s Note: Trust me, she’s much more like her mother.]

5. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
Nothing! I had an amazing childhood. I was blessed with wonderful siblings and amazing parents. We are all still close. My mother was able to stay home with us until I was an adult, at which point she went back to work. I think having her home really influenced my relationship with her, and shaped me into the mother I am today.

Bonus: A lot of people do sexting. Do you ever have sexy talk with a real phone call? Do you rehearse what you are going to say or do it freestyle?
Not as often as I’d like to! About the only time I have phone sex is if Jack and I are spending the night apart. I think the last time was in November, when I was away on business. And it’s never rehearsed. It’s always 100% spontaneous. [Editor’s Note:  I guess that settles that.]
