TMI Tuesday: April 10, 2012 – Love, Hate, and Guilty Secrets
5. Movie
I love too many movies to choose just one. And you know this; you read my answer to #1. To name a very small sampling: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Pulp Fiction, The Big Lebowski, Dazed & Confused, The Godfather, Aliens, Snatch, Bride of Frankenstein, Goodfellas, Harold and Maude, Clerks, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Taxi Driver, The Empire Strikes Back, Ed Wood, Office Space, Swingers, and Casablanca. Like I said, pick one.
I hate Forrest Gump. Yeah, I know that no matter what else I say here, this is what people will mention in their comments. I didn’t care for the ideology behind the film, which to me says that men and women should fall into a predetermined place in society and be rewarded or punished accordingly. You may say that I’m reading too much into the film – many have – but conservative groups have claimed Forrest Gump for their own.
My guilty secret is undoubtedly ’50s-’60s B-grade sci-fi and horror films. I love these schlocky spectacles featuring bargain basement special effects, ridiculous spacemen, inexplicable monsters, and performers who either underact or overact, but never quite hit the mark, so to speak.
6. TV Show
I love very little of the current crop of television. Sorry, let me rephrase that. I watch very little of the current crop of television, and I love even less. To me, television reached its zenith with The Wire, which aired its final episode in 2008. Though I’ve seen quite a few complex, entertaining, and even enlightening television shows in the years since, nothing even comes close. Nor, do I suspect, will it ever.
I hate formulaic police procedurals. Doesn’t matter if it’s one of the various iterations of Law & Order or CSI, or one-offs like Cold Case, Criminal Minds, or NCIS, I can’t watch shows that present police work as simple and efficient, implying that all parties work together as a well-meaning and cohesive unit for the betterment of society. Nor can I believe in protagonists as unflawed as David Caruso’s Horatio Caine, a one-dimensional action figure of a character. I liked Caruso much better as Detective Kelly on NYPD Blue.
My guilty secret is Pee-Wee’s Playhouse. You got a problem with that?
9. Sports Team
I love the San Francisco 49ers. They are my team, and there is nothing more that needs to be said.
I hate the Oakland Raiders. Sorry, but you just can’t like the Niners and the Raiders. It’s a classic sports rivalry. You pick your side and you stick with it. End of story.
My guilty secret is something I can’t think of right now. Are there sports-related guilty pleasures? If the XFL still existed and I somehow found it worth watching, I guess I could say that. But if the XFL still existed and I watched it, I sure as hell wouldn’t tell anybody.
Bonus:
Sex Position or Sex Act or fetish
I love sex.
I hate not having sex.
My guilty secret is I occasionally masturbate. Shhh! Don’t tell anybody.
Jill’s Answers
1. Food
I love potatoes. I’ll eat them almost any way you can think of. Mashed, baked, broiled, french fries, potato chips. Anything but scalloped.
I hate liver. Not just the taste and the smell but the color and the texture as well. It’s the one food I hate more than any other.
My guilty secret is Kentucky Fried Chicken. I don’t eat there often, but just the thought of their extra crispy chicken breast and mashed potatoes and gravy makes me wet. Despite the fact that it’s chicken, I am under no delusion that it’s healthy. That’s why Kentucky Fried Chicken is a once-in-a-very-great-while treat.
2. Apparel
I love flowy blouses that accentuate my breasts. I like looking like I have a nice rack sometimes.
I hate pajamas. They are way too constricting and hot to wear at night. I would much rather be naked. I hate it when we have to share a hotel room with family, or more often when we stay over Jack’s parents’ house. I have to wear pajamas, or at the very least have them nearby so I can put them on when I leave the room in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or check on the baby.
My guilty secret is I love wearing sexy lingerie under my work clothes. Though I have no way of knowing for sure, I’d bet that most of my teacher colleagues don’t have thongs and demi cup bras under their clothing.
3. Books
I love mysteries and detective novels by authors such as James Patterson, Michael Connelly, and Janet Evanovich.
I hate the Twilight series. I got halfway through the first book and quit reading. To be honest, I knew it wasn’t for me way before that.
My guilty secret is erotica. Well, it’s not a secret to anyone who reads this blog, but I’m sure there are those who would be very surprised to find out that a bookcase in our bedroom is filled with books on human sexuality and erotic fiction.
4. Songs
I love just about anything by Billy Joel. I’ve been a fan of his for years, and I enjoy his entire catalog. In fact, he’s the only recording artist I’ve seen in concert more than once.
I hate country. There are a few random country songs that I like, but it is definitely not my preferred genre.
My guilty secret is Neil Diamond’s album You Don’t Bring Me Flowers, because it brings back happy memories of car rides with my family.
5. Movie
I love Field of Dreams. I enjoy the story, I like the characters, and it always makes me cry.
I hate Cry Baby, John Waters’ 1990 film starring Johnny Depp. My friends and I attended a free screening when it was in its theatrical release, and the projector broke down halfway through it. We really should have left right then and there, but they eventually fixed it. I found it to be a horrible waste of time, and to this day I mourn those couple wasted hours that I’ll never get back.
8. Music Group
I love The Beach Boys. Their music is fun and happy, and reminds me of simpler times, and summer days at the beach. Party anthems like “Barbara Ann” and “California Girls” never fail to put me in a good mood.
I hate techno music. I know it’s not a group, but there aren’t many groups that I actively dislike so I’m going with the entire techno genre. It’s loud, repetitive, headache-inducing, and it goes on and on all night until the drugs wear off and you wake up in an alley behind the club.
My guilty secret is The Barenaked Ladies. I like their mellow style of alternative rock. I never said I was cutting-edge when it comes to music.
My guilty secret is I love it when we’re in the park and we see old Italian men playing bocce ball. There’s something so cool about watching them standing around the court, laughing and sharing stories while they play. I imagine my brothers standing around a similar court in thirty years, having the same kind of fun.
Bonus:
Sex Position or Sex Act or fetish
I love doggy style.
I hate breath play. I know it’s not unsafe if done with a trusted partner who knows what he or she is doing, but it still scares me. I once nearly drowned, and the thought of my airway constricting is not something I would care to revisit on a recreational basis. A lot of my orgasms do involve shortness of breath, though it isn’t as extreme as having my breathing deliberately restricted.
My guilty secret is tasting Jack’s cum after he ejaculates inside me. I’ll slurp it up right off of his cock, but I really love it when he fingers my pussy after he cums and lets me lick them clean.

While the Baby Slept
After I came, I took a quick shower. By the time I got out, Jill was asleep in bed. That she woke up, came into the bedroom and did not join me in the shower is testimony to her extreme exhaustion. I would have loved the company, especially if it had led to sex. On the other hand, I’d already gotten off, and sleep was sounding even better than it did before. I turned off the lamp on my nightstand, climbed into bed, and pulled the covers over myself.
I snuggled up close to Jill. “Hey,” she said dreamily. Once again I held her in my arms, feeling her naked body against me. She was warm, inviting. She leaned in for a sleepy kiss and I reciprocated. What began as a gentle but intimate kiss, the sort that says “I’m tired so let’s just go to sleep”, progressed quickly to a hungry open-mouthed kiss, a kiss full of fire and passion.
One mouth pressed against the other, tongues lapping shamelessly together as the kiss intensified. In the dark, my hands quickly found her breasts, handling them roughly as my fingers pinched and squeezed her nipples. She moaned in ecstasy even as I felt her hand encircle my cock, engorged with anticipation. As she rubbed the already-sensitive head with her thumb, I lowered my mouth to her nipple and sucked deeply.
“Fuck me,” she said. I moved on top of her, settling between her legs and rubbing my cock against the slick lips of her pussy. I could feel her heat as I entered her, as well as her ankles locked around my waist. Her feet pressed against my ass, drawing me ever deeper inside her, and as I filled her she moaned. She sound was, the proverbial music to my ears, a much-needed drug that took me to heights I’d never achieve otherwise. She reached for my ass, her hands joining her feet and pulling me in.
My hand reached down as well, three fingers coming to rest on her clit. I imagined the sexual charge that overwhelmed her as she felt my touch. Her body tensed at first, then relaxed as I moved inside her, thrusting deeply even as my fingers drew circles on her erect bud. She tensed back up as she rode intene waves of pleasure on the way to her climax. The sounds she made told me that it wasn’t far off.
I nuzzled her neck, sucking teasingly. My lips bit gently, not vigorously enough to leave a mark. Jill’s moans grew more urgent as I continued to touch her, my fingers insistent upon pushing her to the point of no return. And suddenly she was there.
When Jill’s orgasm passed, I lay beside her, the only light the faint glow of the moon. We listened to each other breathe. Silently counting our blessings that the baby hadn’t yet seen fit to wake and interrupt our fun.
A few moments later, she ran her hand over my chest. She spoke, her voice relaxed and ready for sleep. “Your turn.”
“I’m all right,” I said. “How about I go first tomorrow?”

Sinful Sunday: Happy Easter!
Easter has never been our favorite holiday. For us, it lacks the imagination of Halloween, the excitement of Christmas, and the sexiness of Valentine’s Day. That is, until now.
Spilling the Beans: On Discretion and Trust
When you use your phone to tweet, read blogs, and perv to homemade porn as often as Jill and I do, people are bound to notice. If we had a dollar for every time a a relative at a family gathering asked, only half-kidding, whether the two of us were texting each other as we jabbed away at our smartphones like gunshot victims desperately clicking their morphine buttons, we’d have a small fortune. Perhaps not enough of a fortune for us to retire immediately and live a life of leisure, but certainly enough to justify traveling the world to visit and fuck our favorite sex bloggers and Twitter friends.
If that weren’t enough, I have a tendency to read blog comments as soon as, or shortly after, they come in. If Jill and I are together, chances are that I’ll read them to her, or at the very least call her attention to them. It doesn’t matter where we are, or who’s around. Hey, call me crazy but to me it seems pretty normal for a married man to show his wife something on his phone in a semi-surreptitious fashion without everyone in the vicinity asking to be let in on the secret. Because it is apparently not, at least in my social circle, this is a habit I need to break posthaste.
As we’ve said elsewhere on this blog, most of the people we know personally have no idea it exists. This includes both of our extended families, most of whom would likely not approve. The handful of people who are aware of this blog are those we trust implicitly. To be fair, however, were we starting the blog today, we might be a bit more judicious with regard to who we tell. Our decision to let certain friends – again, close, trusted friends – in on it was made out of our own need for validation when we began blogging. We no longer feel this need. At this point, we are somewhat relieved that these friends no longer visit, and we choose to believe that they’ve all forgotten the URL.
Last week, we met M for lunch. In the middle of food, drink, and conversation, I got an email notification about a comment that needed approval. I told Jill that we’d gotten a blog comment. Then I remembered that we weren’t alone.
Formspring Friday: The Worst Sex Ever
Can you recall your worst sexual experience? Why was it so awful? Did you do anything at the time to try to make it better?
Jack’s Answer
This was a very difficult question for me to answer. Unlike Jill, I’m fortunate to not have a sexual experience that sticks out negatively in my mind. I don’t have a story about a shotgun-toting overprotective father coming home while I was fucking his daughter doggy-style over the arm of the sofa. I don’t have a story about a fortysomething divorcee who, once the sex was over, told me that we had sinned and now needed to kneel before Jesus and pray for forgiveness. I don’t have a story about a Craigslist hookup gone completely wrong. I don’t have a story about falling asleep in a stranger’s apartment and awakening in a bathtub full of ice with my kidney missing. I don’t have a story about unexpected or unwanted pegging. (Actually I do; it was this week’s Flash Fiction Friday.) I don’t have a story about getting head from a woman who afterwards revealed herself to be physically male. (Actually, I do; it’s The Crying Game.*)
It’s true that when I was single I didn’t have many bad experiences, but I also usually had a very positive outlook about sex. To use Academy Award terminology, it was an honor just to be nominated. I was happy to be getting laid, and never really considered that being on a different sexual wavelength than my partner made the sex bad. Everyone is different, after all. There were times when the sex wasn’t particularly spectacular, especially with someone I’d just met. There were times when I didn’t get off. There were times when my partner was not especially good at it, or even bad at it. There were times when my partner was just not into it. There were times when I was just not into it. There were times when I was fucking beneath my station, so to speak. (Don’t look at me like I’m some kind of arrogant asshole – there were far more times when my partner was fucking beneath her station.) But of all these examples, there is absolutely nothing that I can say was so awful that I would have been better off staying home.
I’ll tell you what makes for a really bad sexual experience. It’s something that I experienced more than a few times during my twenties. It involves going to a bar, trying desperately to pick someone up by the time the place closes, failing to do so, returning to my apartment, masturbating, and going to sleep. And you know what? Even that wasn’t so bad.
Jill’s Answer
If you’ve been reading our blog for awhile, you probably already know about the incident I consider the worst sex I’ve ever had. It occurred pretty early on in my sex life, and I’m very proud of the fact that I didn’t let it shape my attitudes about sex, trust, and relationships forever.
I was dating a guy who was pretty hung, and the sex was really good. He was also preoccupied with anal sex, and even asked for it the first time we had sex. I’d never had anal sex before and I wasn’t ready to start. Even if I was, I would have had a lot of apprehension about taking a cock as big as his in my ass. He and I had been dating for three months, and one Saturday morning we were fooling around in his living room. I’d just finished giving him oral sex and he bent me over the couch and fucked me doggy style, my favorite position. Right out of the blue, he pulled out of my pussy and literally slammed it in my ass. He made it about halfway in. I screamed, and then I cried. It hurt worse than I could have imagined, and I went into shock as a means of dealing with the pain.
I didn’t really do anything to make it better while it was happening. He was only inside me for fifteen seconds, but the pain and the shock took a lot longer to wear off. He initially claimed that it was an accident, but as he had been asking since almost day one for anal, I didn’t believe him. Later he confirmed my doubts when he contradicted his earlier claim by saying he thought I would enjoy it. I couldn’t trust him, and the fact that he was unconcerned with my feelings meant that he and I could go no further. I broke up with him soon after. He just wasn’t the person I thought he was. No, I mean he literally wasn’t the person I thought he was. The name he had given me was a fake name.
Because of this experience, it took me a very long time to try anal again. But I’m very glad that I did. With the right person, someone who cares about me and is considerate of my feelings and of my enjoyment of it, anal is awesome. I was worried that it would be difficult to trust my next sexual partner. But I realized that it wasn’t fair to judge the next guy based on the actions of some asshole and his obsession with my asshole.

Flash Fiction Friday: Wild Thing
The Naughty Hangout: Like Mother, Like Daughter
Shush
As she licked him from his balls up to his head, she felt him grasp a handful of her hair. He tugged softly, guiding her rhythm and her movements. She liked it when he did that. As he pulled with greater force she increased her speed, finally bringing her mouth up to his cock and swallowing him all the way to the back of her throat. She didn’t gag.
She took her mouth off of his cock, gasping desperately for breath. The sound cut through the still of the night and he shushed her insistently. In spite of herself, she laughed, and in order to silence her he tightened his grip of her hair and pulled her back down.
