Our Third Blogiversary!

I’m pretty sure that’s a word. Someone back us up here.

On this day in 2008, we began blogging about our sex life! We’ve probably spent almost as much time dormant as we have actually documenting our adventures, but we’re back, and we hope to be much more productive from now on. In fact, this is the ninth entry we’ve posted this month. We haven’t been so prolific since January, 2009. In fact, we haven’t posted more than five entries in one month in almost as long! Can you tell we’ve enjoyed being back? It’s the interaction with all of you, not only here but on your own blogs (for those of you that have blogs), Twitter, e-mail, etc., that makes it so much fun. The connections that we have made as a result of this blog mean so much to us.

We decided to re-read our First Blogiversary post from 2009 (we weren’t blogging in September 2010), and found the culmination of a four-part series of entries listing the various things that turned us on two summers ago. For your reading enjoyment, we thought we would re-post our lists here.

Jack’s List, Part 1

1. In June, we attended a party at the home of a friend of ours. She’s been taking exotic dancing classes for a couple years, although there’s almost no way you would look at her and immediately think “exotic dancer.” After the party, we got a demonstration of her skills.

2. As detailed in Jill’s previous entry, we went skinny dipping one night while on a family camping trip. We like swimming naked, though it’s been quite some time since we went camping, much less skinny dipping in a semi-public setting. It was just as exhilarating as ever.

3. Jill masturbating in the passenger seat of the car while listening to a very sexy podcast, as I tried desperately to concentrate on the road ahead of us.

4. Earlier this summer I wrote a love scene that’s part of a mainstream novel I’m working on. Though not particularly graphic, I’ve been getting to know the characters and planning the story for so long that, when they finally got together and the clothes came off, it was really hot.

5. Due to the summer heat, Jill and I spent several nights sleeping on an air mattress in the backyard. Feeling my wife’s naked body beside my own in the cool night air is consistently arousing.

Jill’s List, Part 1

1. Violet Blue’s podcast that Jack mentioned in his previous entry. This installment (episode 69, appropriately) features her reading an erotic story called “Central Registry.” If you happen to listen to it, you might understand why I couldn’t wait to get off.

2. I’ve been riding Jack side-saddle a lot lately. If you don’t know what this means, instead of straddling his waist I sit on top of him, facing his right or left. It’s a great position, and for some reason he penetrates me really deep this way.

3. Doing the “Rabbit Trick” in front of a live audience. For the uninitiated, the “Rabbit Trick” refers to riding a rabbit vibrator while giving oral sex. It’s one of my biggest turn ons, and I love coming while sucking Jack’s cock.

4. Going to a work function with Jack, and letting him know about the lack of panties under my skirt right before we walked in.

5. Four words: Rocky Road ice cream.

Jack’s List, Part 2

1. I love to flirt. During a visit to a bar with friends, I caught the eye of a pretty young lady and held her gaze a few seconds longer than I usually do. Nothing else happened, but it was a turn-on to remember my single days.

2. Jill told me about a dream in which she was alone with a female friend of ours, and the opportunity arose for some sexual exploration. As it was happening, all Jill could think about was how she wished she could somehow videotape the encounter so I could watch later. I guess her cell phone wasn’t within reach. Still, very exciting to know that, even in her dreams, she wanted to share the experience with me – or at least provide me with jerkoff material after the fact.

3. Porn star Raylene’s return to the adult industry with “Raylene’s Dirty Work”, her first movie since 2001 or 2002. She’s not the hottest in the business – far from it – but I’ve always kinda liked her.

4. Being invited by a married female acquaintance to participate in an illicit affair was, almost perversely, a huge turn on and a major ego boost; she is someone I’ve been attracted to for more than twenty years. I did, of course, politely decline, out of respect for her marriage as much as for my own. Ironically, Jill told me after the fact that, were she not married, she would make a great third for a threesome. However, this particular person doesn’t seem the sort to engage in anything beyond one-on-one sex.

5. The many new followers we’ve picked up in recent months, as well as the feedback we’ve received, is very flattering, and reading your comments, as well as your blogs, makes excellent foreplay.

Jill’s List, Part 2

1. Coming twelve times over the course of one amazing August night is a record for me. But it’s a record that I hope gets broken soon.

2. One hot afternoon I found myself lying on an inflatable pool chair, drifting across the water and soaking up the rays of the sun. As I listened to the silence, I found myself indulging in a fantasy about Jack, myself, and a male friend of ours. I was glad I was alone in the pool because I had to touch myself a little.

3. We watched a porn film called “Basic Elements.” One scene involved a couple having sex on an airplane while a female flight attendant watched and masturbated. This scene reminded me of a long flight Jack and I took together. We didn’t have sex in our seats, but we did just about everything else. I am really turned on by the idea of sex on a plane, in flight. In fact, I can’t wait to read The Mile High Club: Plane Sex Stories, an anthology edited by Rachel Kramer Bussel, a favorite erotic writer of ours.

4. Speaking of Rachel Kramer Bussel, I re-read Hide and Seek: Erotic Stories over the summer. It was just as hot the second time. We are looking forward to the follow-up, Peep Show: Tales of Voyeurs and Exhibitionists, due out in November.
5. While having sex with Jack recently, we were watching an old homemade porn movie he’d shot some years ago, before we met. (Is that weird? I love watching him fucking an old girlfriend on TV while we fuck in real life, but I get the feeling that, in general, people would find this weird or inappropriate. Who cares, I guess – it’s hot to me!) As Jack worked toward his orgasm, I started urging him onward, whispering, “Come for me…come for me.” At the same time, his ex-girlfriend was doing the same thing on the television. It was almost as though we were competing for his orgasm.

And I’d just like to say again that doing the Rabbit Trick for a live audience was one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done. Having an audience can be so hot!

At the time these lists were originally posted, we were either unaware or newly-aware that we were going to be parents. (We found out in August 2009.) It’s nice to see that, despite having an eighteen-month-old child, we really haven’t slowed down at all. In some ways we’ve become even more adventurous. We hope that we are able to keep up the pace in the future, and of course we will continue to share our escapades with all of you.
To everyone who has ever taken the time to read this blog – especially those who’ve taken the time to give us feedback, or even read something hot that we’ve written and gotten off because of it – we would like to extend our sincerest thanks.

The Mile-High Club: Worst-Case Scenario

The following article is from Slate.com. Thanks to Max at Thoughts From a Mystic Satyr for bringing it to our attention.
A couple who spent a little too long “making out” in the bathroom of a Frontier Airlines plane set off a security alert on Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. When passengers noticed they had been in the bathroom for a suspiciously long time, crew members alerted the captain, and authorities dispatched a pair of fighter jets to accompany the flight into Detroit. On ordinary days, when calling in a military escort would be over the top, what are flight attendants supposed to do when they happen upon an attempt to join the mile-high club?
Knock, inquire politely, and barge in if necessary. Airlines don’t directly address this issue during flight attendant training, but, these days, few flight attendants tolerate sex onboard. They forbid able-bodied adults from entering the lavatory together. If passengers waiting in line suggest that something untoward may be happening in a bathroom, the crew member knocks and asks if everything is OK. If they get no response, flight attendants have the means to unlock and open lavatory doors. (Sunday’s mix-up was unusual, because flight attendants usually enter a lavatory and have a look around before notifying the captain of a security threat.)
Some aroused passengers don’t even bother with the lavatory, which forces flight attendants to tap them on the shoulder and request that they stop having sex in their seats.
There is one glaring exception to this protocol. Richard Branson, head of Virgin Atlantic, has pledged that his employees are not the type to “bang on lavatory doors when a couple slips in there.” The airline even installed double beds with privacy screens in some aircraft, for a “more intimate flight.” Branson’s antics have gotten him in trouble, though. Critics call him sexist, and U.S.-based flight attendant groups say he’s more concerned with brand management than stopping terrorists who might try to assemble bombs in the bathroom.
The Branson way is a throwback to the 1960s and 1970s, when flight crews were not only willing to look the other way, but may even have shared a laugh with post-coital passengers. According to flight attendant legend, crew members occasionally greeted couples returning from the bathroom with a glass of champagne and a cigarette and officially welcomed them to the mile-high club. While this level of acceptance faded, flight attendants remained relatively permissive for decades. Overly frisky passengers might get cut off from alcohol service but rarely faced more serious consequences. In a 1999 account, flight attendant Elliott Neal Hester explained that “most of my colleagues … tolerate and even chuckle at passenger audacity. Just as long as it doesn’t get too out of hand.”
The security panic that followed the Sept. 11 attacks seems to have driven the mile-high club underground. These days, flight attendants will virtually always break up a lavatory tryst or window-aisle romance.
Aspiring in-flight fornicators probably don’t have to worry about prosecution, as long as they cease and desist when ordered to do so. (They should, however, worry about hygiene. Health magazine counts airplane bathrooms among the 12 germiest places you’ll encounter on an average day.) Only a handful of passengers who have been caught in the act midflight have been referred to police. In September 2006, Carl Persing and Dawn Sewell ignored several requests to refrain from oral sex in the main cabin. According to an FBI affidavit, Persing “was observed with his face pressed against Sewell’s vaginal area. Sewell was observed smiling.” The couple acted out after being refused alcohol, and Persing promised a flight attendant he wouldn’t “go quietly.” In 1999, a British couple were charged after getting drunk in business class on an American Airlines flight and ignoring pleas to keep their hands to themselves. Far more often, however, plane sex goes unpunished.
We posted a condensed version of the following as a comment at the above-linked blog. For your enjoyment (and hopefully your arousal), it has been elaborated on prior to posting here:
Despite the mystique surrounding it, we’ve always thought that the Mile-High Club was a bit overrated. Sure, it’s sex at otherwise-impossible altitudes, but other than the whole “I can’t believe we’re doing it on a plane” aspect, the idea of cramming yourself and another person into a space barely larger than a telephone booth – a space designed for the disposal of human waste, no less – and attempting to get off in violation of federal law was somehow not the hottest scenario Jill or I could think of.
With that said, a few years ago Jill and I found ourselves on a Transatlantic flight. We were seated on the right side of a 747 in a two-seat row at the end of a section, i.e. in the last row before a wall. In this instance we were, as the article mentions, two aroused passengers who didn’t even bother with the lavatory. Jill had been reading an anthology of erotic stories for most of the flight, and she wanted to get off. Vaguely aware of possible criminal repercussions of sex in an airplane, we figured that using the lavatory for this purpose was probably a bad idea. And while neither of us wanted to get caught for legal reasons, we were also very conscious of the fact that there were probably other passengers on the plane who most certainly didn’t want to catch us. However, given our semi-secluded row, we waited until late in the flight when the lights were dimmed and most passengers were asleep, and we got to it.
Jill was wearing a short black skirt. She put a blanket over her lap and took off her panties. Nonchalantly, I reached for her pussy and felt how wet she was. Gathering moisture on my fingertips, I moved my hand to her clit and began to tease, then caress her. Before long, Jill was biting her lip to keep from crying out in pleasure as she came. Afterwards, we rearranged the blanket on my lap, and she reached underneath to help me open my pants and take out my cock. Gleefully she returned my favor, giving me a handjob under the blanket. No oral, as that seemed way too conspicuous. I remember, as I enjoyed Jill’s subtle ministrations, wondering where I was going to come – because I was most certainly going to come and it was going to be sooner than later – and hoping that I wouldn’t get any on my clothes. I didn’t, thanks to a few tiny drink napkins that helped with the cleanup.
After we were both satisfied, there was no tap on the shoulder from an irate flight attendant or worse, an air marshal. Still, I remember worrying for about twenty minutes that we’d been observed and that we were going to be the recipients of a very embarrassing dressing-down in front of all the other passengers. I guess that doesn’t make a lot of sense, as I should have guessed that, as the article states, a flight attendant would have broken it up in the middle rather than admonishing us after the fact. Unless he or she really liked to watch.

HNT: Fun in the Tub

With our bathtub series at Half-Nekkid Thursday running out of steam, we’ve decided to post a couple pictures that didn’t make the cut. We’ll probably post one last picture next week, then move onto something else. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures, and if you’d like to see the picture that did make the cut, head over to Half-Nekkid Thursday.


TMI Tuesday: Dating


Disclaimer: We are married. We don’t do much dating anymore. For the purposes of this TMI Tuesday entry, all of our answers are posted with the understanding that they pertain to our single days.

Jack’s Answers
1. You’re on a speed date. You’ve got 7 minutes with the potential partner. You already know the person’s name. What are the first three questions you would ask?
Are you really a woman? Wait! Please come back… Okay, all kidding aside, I might ask her why she left her previous job, what her long-term career goals are, and whether she prefers working alone, or with other people. I hear that speed dating is a lot like conducting a job interview.
2. Have you ever participated in speed dating? Did you get a regular date/second date out of it?
Never. I would look on the practice with disdain, but my wife has speed-dated so needless to say I think it’s a phenomenal way to meet people. EDIT: Jill has reminded me for the umpteenth time that what I always think was speed dating was actually a party sponsored by match.com before we met. I’m not changing my answer, as I think it’s funny.
3. Do you participate in online dating? How many dates have you had as a result of online dating sites/matches?
Yes I have, though not currently. There’s no way I can guess how many dates I went on while dating in this fashion, but my marriage happens to be the product of an online date that went really, really well.
4. You are attracted to:
a. Who people are?
b. What people have?
c. What they can do?
Of the three, I will say mostly “a”, followed by “c”. “B” is less important, though not 100% unimportant.
5. What “little red flag” will cause you to end a date or immediately decide this person isn’t for you?
Little red flags: Showing up late without explanation (if we’re meeting someplace), talking ad nauseum about her ex. If we’re at a movie, talking during the movie or laughing obnoxiously/at inappropriate points. Medium red flags: Treating waitstaff poorly, kicking puppies. If we’re at a movie, answerinig a cell phone call. Large red flags: Attempted or successful murder. If we’re at a movie, attempting to record the movie for the purposes of piracy.
6. What do you feel you need to sacrifice or have sacrificed to be a part of a relationship?
Casual sex. Not everyone sacrifices this, but for most it is the price of admission into a stable relationship.
7. If you cooked for your date, what would you cook?
I love to cook. Depending on the preferences of my date, I might make fish tacos, steaks, or some variety of elaborate salad or pasta dish. (Jill says I should have answered either “Cook? Fuck that. She cooks for me or we go out”, or “I would feed her hot, spicy sausage.” She is also displeased to hear about my fondess for making steak for dates, as I don’t believe I made her a steak until we were a few months in.)
8. At the end of a first date, how would you kiss your date?
a. Press your lips against theirs
b. Gentle kiss on the cheek
c. Lots o’ tongue, like you’re on a tonsil exploration
d. I don’t kiss on the first date
I’m going to attempt to kiss her on the mouth unless she deflects my attempt with her cheek (or open hand). If I am not deflected, and if her body language suggests that it may be fortuitous, I may try to introduce tongue into the situation.
Bonus: You just put up a profile on a dating site. You must describe yourself in 10 words or less. What are your 10 words?
“Sexy, successful, witty guy will make your dreams come true.” (When I read this to Jill, she asked if I said “witty”, or “woody.” I would have mentioned my woody if I had, say, fifteen words.) Also, though not a description, I’m tempted to go with “Prepare to take your first step into a larger world.”
Jill’s Answers
1. You’re on a speed date. You’ve got 7 minutes with the potential partner. You already know the person’s name. What are the first three questions you would ask?
Are you married? Any kids? What do you do for a living?
2. Have you ever participated in speed dating? Did you get a regular date/second date out of it?
No. Although my husband says I have, I have not. He must be thinking of one of his other wives.
3. Do you participate in online dating? How many dates have you had as a result of online dating sites/matches?
I have participated in online dating. As for how many people I’ve dated in this way, I’d say about five.
4. You are attracted to:
a. Who people are?
b. What people have?
c. What they can do?
Definitely “a”.
5. What “little red flag” will cause you to end a date or immediately decide this person isn’t for you?
Ditching me. That’s actually probably a big red flag. I guess I would say being a lousy kisser, as superficial as that sounds.
6. What do you feel you need to sacrifice or have sacrificed to be a part of a relationship?
I don’t feel as though I have sacrificed anything in order to be in a relationship with Jack. I know that sounds corny, but I really have everything that I want and need.
7. If you cooked for your date, what would you cook?
Probably chicken cordon bleu. It’s one of my favorite recipes to cook, and as they say, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. I made it for Jack during the early stages of our relationship, and look at us now. However, I see that one of the things he brags about having made for dates is steak. He didn’t make me any fucking steak until we were well into our relationship. That should have been one of my little red flags.
8. At the end of a first date, how would you kiss your date?
a. Press your lips against theirs
b. Gentle kiss on the cheek
c. Lots o’ tongue, like you’re on a tonsil exploration
d. I don’t kiss on the first date
Definitely not “d”, because I think kissing on the first date is important. As I said above, if the kiss doesn’t feel right, I might not go on a second date. I would probably go with “a”, unless I was feeling bold and decided to turn “a” into “c”. I frequently feel bold, thus I have done this.
Bonus: You just put up a profile on a dating site. You must describe yourself in 10 words or less. What are your 10 words?
Sexy baggage-free chick who loves to have fun.

Infibu-whaaaat?

If I were to ask you to name a historic method employed to discourage sex, you might mention the chastity belt. Relatively well-known, the chastity belt was an uncomfortable device worn in centuries past by women (and possibly less-frequently, men) in order to prevent sexual activity. Typically made of metal, a chastity belt was worn around the waist and locked into place, making removal impossible without a key. Seen below is a chastity belt displayed in Venice, Italy. Notice the jagged metal teeth.

I am tempted to chalk up the once-widespread use of the chastity belt to the unfortunate status of women as second-class citizens at the time. After all, if female genital mutilation is sadly alive and well in some areas of the world in 2011, could more respectful treatment of women have been expected in that less-progressive era? I would guess not. Men went off to do battle, and kept their property – sorry, their wives – literally locked up so that no one could touch them. American women were given the right to vote ninety-one years ago. It’s not hard to fathom that a couple centuries earlier, the commonly-held opinion of the era was that attaching a locking device that might resemble a cheese grater to a woman’s genitals was a sensible thing to do.
That’s when I learned of a practice called infibulation. Simply put, infibulation in males refers to the practice of altering the penis by drawing the foreskin over the head, punching multiple holes, and suturing the whole thing shut. Though presumably rare today, in ancient Rome infibulation was commonly practiced on slaves to ensure celibacy. Now I’m sure that any males reading this are wincing at the thought of such barbarism, but it bears noting that athletes, actors and other performers in Ancient Greece (all of whom traditionally performed naked) submitted to this practice voluntarily – or carried it out themselves – in order to show respect for the social norms of the day; at the time, public display of the head of the penis was considered obscene. Talk about suffering for your art! (*Rim shot*)
Infibulation was re-introduced in the 19th century as a proposed cure for a number of social ills, including overpopulation – a German medical professor proposed that all poverty-level bachelors undergo the procedure for this purpose – and of course the grand bogeyman itself, masturbation. As with the performers in Ancient Greece, young men presumably seeking to avoid the fires of Hell gleefully volunteered to be infibulated at the behest of one Doctor David Yellowlees, at the time the superintendent of a Welsh insane asylum. Seeking to “make erection so painful that it would be practically impossible and seminal emission extremely unlikely” – thus somehow preventing mental disorders including epilepsy – Yellowlees set a trend of sexual torture that spread throughout the supposedly enlightened world.
I got the idea for this post from www.cracked.com. Debuting in 1958 as a publication in the vein of Mad Magazine, Cracked enjoyed a print run that lasted more than half a century, peaking in the 1970s but failing to match the popularity of its better-known competitor. Cracked disappeared from newsstands in the mid-’00s, was briefly resurrected as a glossy Maxim-style magazine, and currently exists as a popular humor website dealing with a wealth of topics from social issues to popular culture. A recent article posted at cracked.com is entitled “The 5 Most Horrific Ways People Have Tried to Discourage Sex“. If you were subjected to old wives’ tales about hairy palms, give this one a read and see how truly horrible your formative years might have been.

Print Media May Be All But Obsolete, But You Can’t Sit on Your Smartphone

I thought this article was timely considering yesterday’s TMI Tuesday questions. I was worried that I would be betraying my innate immaturity by pointing out that the name of the city supervisor is “Weiner”, but no one who’s read this blog for any appreciable length of time is under the impression that I’m mature. Besides, the article itself mentions this point in the penultimate paragraph. Bonus points for the “butt of jokes” pun.

Proposal Would Force SF Nudists to Cover Up When Sitting

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — The right to bare all in San Francisco might soon come with some restrictions under legislation that was proposed at Tuesday afternoon’s Board of Supervisors meeting at City Hall.

The legislation, which was introduced by Supervisor Scott Wiener, would require those going nude to cover public seating before sitting down and put on clothes before entering restaurants.

Wiener’s district includes the Castro, which has seen a recent increase in public nudity, according to his office.


The supervisor said the legislation would ensure that public health standards are maintained by requiring nudists to put a towel or other item between their body and a public seat.

“San Francisco is a liberal and tolerant city, and we pride ourselves on that fact,” Wiener said in a statement.

“Yet, while we have a variety of views about public nudity, we can all agree that when you sit down naked, you should cover the seat, and that you should cover up when you go into a food establishment,” he said.

He said the idea for the ordinance came after he received numerous constituent complaints and saw some of the unsanitary behavior himself—particularly in Jane Warner Plaza and elsewhere in the Castro.

“One would hope we wouldn’t need to legislate this, but people aren’t doing it,” he said.

Before Tuesda’s meeting, Wiener emphasized that the legislation is not banning public nudity, but is simply maintaining public health standards.

He said his office has not received any complaints from local nudist groups about the proposal.

Wiener acknowledged that the legislation could be the butt of jokes as an “only in San Francisco” proposal—with the added punch line that his last name is a slang term for the male genitalia.

“They’ll say what they’re going to say,” he said. “I look forward to the conversation about this legislation.”

TMI Tuesday: Naked

As always, check out this week’s questions at tmituesdayblog.wordpress.com.
Jack’s Answers
1. What do you wear to sleep in?
Depends on the weather. If it’s really cold, possibly sweatpants or shorts. (I never wear a shirt to bed.) If it’s warm, nothing. I expect this to change when our daughter is able to get out of bed and come into our room at night.
2. Do you ever walk around your own place naked?
Frequently, especially in warm weather. Sometimes I’m just done wearing clothes for the day.
3. Have you or would you ever answer the door naked?
I have never done this. This is less for my own protection than it is for the protection of whomever’s at the door.
4. What part of your body do you like to be on show? Why?
Got me. The whole thing?
5. When sunbathing how much do you bare?
I’ve been known to lay out in a pair of shorts or swimming trunks and nothing else.
6. Have you or would you bare all on a naturist (nude) beach?
I never have, but I can’t imagine a situation in which I’m wearing clothes at a clothing-optional location. Actually, I don’t know why I’ve never been. There are quite a few clothing-optional beaches in the area.
7. Have you ever flashed your bits in public? If not would you if it turned your partner on?
Once I found myself naked in a group setting, having lost my swimsuit. The less said about that incident, the better. But have I ever, say, whipped it out? I can’t honestly say that I have, because unlike the sexy factor of a woman popping out a breast in public, when a guy does it the police are much more likely to get involved. Suddenly it’s “indecent exposure” this and “public lewdness” that and Reverend Lovejoy’s wife is asking won’t somebody think of the children? Next thing you know I have to register as a sex offender, and then when I move to Hollywood I have to go door to door to tell everyone that I’m a pederast. What’s a pederast, Walter? Shut the fuck up, Donny. I have, however, shown my butt in public. Not a fruit bowl. Just my butt.
8. Have you ever given a striptease or has anyone given you one? Did you enjoy it?
I have been given a striptease, which I enjoyed very much. Outside of a bizarre incident whilst going through security at the airport post-9/11, I have not reciprocated. (Jill points out that sometimes when I get undressed at night I’ll “put a little grind into it” for her amusement, but I don’t think it counts.)
9. Ever gone skinny dipping? Alone or with others?
Frequently. Jill and I enjoy being naked in the water, and most family vacations have seen us taking a dip au naturel. Sometimes it’s just the two of us, though not always.
10. Do you like to look at naked people or do you want show off your nakedness?
Yes to both.
Bonus: Sexually speaking, what’s the furthest you would go with a partner in public? Have you had sex in public?
I’d go as far as I could without getting arrested. I have had sex in public on occasion, though not as frequently in the last couple years. Jill’s and my most recent semi-public adventure was in a changing room at a department store at a local mall. If security was observing, they were too busy masturbating to call the police. Our most recent semi-public adventure that did not occur behind closed doors was probably the time we got each other off in our seats while on a Trans-Atlantic flight. Good times!
Jill’s Answers
1. What do you wear to sleep in?
Nothing, but I keep PJs handy for when the in-laws visit.
2. Do you ever walk around your own place naked?
Yes. Most days by six PM I am done with clothes. Ideally I am naked from then until I get dressed the next morning.
3. Have you or would you ever answer the door naked?
Just for Jack, although I usually hold the door in front of myself so as to avoid giving the whole neighborhood a free look. When we used to live in a condo it was much easier to fling the door wide open and not worry that someone other than Jack was going to be right outside.
4. What part of your body do you like to be on show? Why?
My legs. I love my calves.
5. When sunbathing how much do you bare?
In the backyard I bare all. At a pool the farthest I’ll usually go is untying my suit to avoid tan lines.
6. Have you or would you bare all on a naturist (nude) beach?
I’d probably go topless at least, although I guess my instincts might take over when I’m actually there, leading me to bare even more if I felt sufficiently uninhibited.
7. Have you ever flashed your bits in public? If not would you if it turned your partner on?
I have flashed Jack numerous times in the car while driving, which is probably not the safest thing to do. I also sometimes flash him in other people’s houses when we know we are alone for a moment.
8. Have you ever given a striptease or has anyone given you one? Did you enjoy it?
Yes I have. It made me feel sexy. I really enjoyed it and I should do it more. I haven’t received one lately from Jack, though, and I must remedy that soon!
9. Ever gone skinny dipping? Alone or with others?
I love skinny dipping! When we do it it’s usually just the two of us although there have been times when there’s a small group. The more the merrier!
10. Do you like to look at naked people or do you want show off your nakedness?
I love looking at naked people! Naked people are hot, especially women! I love looking at pictures or webcams, but much prefer seeing naked people in person. This doesn’t happen often enough. And I do enjoy showing off my nakedness. I love it when we cam with others, and when Jack takes naked pictures of me. It’s such a turn-on.
Bonus: Sexually speaking, what’s the furthest you would go with a partner in public? Have you had sex in public?
Once I had sex at the top of a play structure at a local park. (This was before I met Jack.) It was after dark, and although we didn’t get totally naked or anything, we went at it much longer than common sense says we probably should have, considering that we were on city property. It was incredibly arousing to be out in the night air, without any barriers of any kind. Anyone could easily have seen us, and the fact that we were out in the open led to several very intense orgasms. It was probably the hottest sex I’ve ever had without Jack, and it gets me wet just thinking about it.

TMI Tuesday: I Love Music

For the first time in more than a year, we’re participating in TMI Tuesday. Turns out that TMI Tuesday migrated from Blogger to WordPress; while we were mourning its apparent demise and posting answers to very old sets of questions, a little research might have cleared the whole thing up and kept us posting. Oh well. Thanks go out to Cougar in Training and her awesome blog for tipping us off to the new URL.

Jack’s Answers
1. What’s the most annoying song in the world?
Any children’s show theme song. As a parent, if you enjoy them you are exhibiting signs of Stockholm Syndrome.
2. What’s the saddest song in the world?
“untitled #1”, also known as “Vaka”, by Icelandic rock band Sigur Rós. Though I haven’t the slightest idea what it’s about, the song itself is haunting thanks to lead singer Jónsi Birgisson’s vocals, but it becomes even more tragic and heartbreaking upon watching the video, which depicts post-apocalyptic schoolchildren enjoying recess in the middle of nuclear winter.
3. What’s the sexiest song in the world?
Wow, that’s a tough one. As someone who has an entire playlist of sexy music on his mp3 player, the chances of easily deciding on one single song worthy of the designation “the sexiest song in the world” is pretty unlikely. However, the song that immediately popped into my head when I read this question is Paula Cole’s “Feelin’ Love.” It’s a grimy, sweaty little number that exudes confidence, attitude, and sex. Though I don’t remember much about the young lady who introduced this song to me in the late 1990s, I remember all too well the lapdance that I enjoyed while it played.
4. Name a new, to you, band or music artist that you can’t get enough of? Post a link to one of their songs.
I can’t think of one. There are a few bands and artists I’ve recently discovered, but none of them appeal to me on the “can’t get enough” level. Most fall into the “catchy song; I’ll definitely make time to listen to more of their stuff in the future” category. Most of the absolute essentials, the artists and bands of whom who I truly can’t get enough – Led Zeppelin, Warren Zevon, Miles Davis, Run-DMC, Dean Martin, George Clinton, AC/DC, et. al – were discovered by me during my formative years.
5. Have you met any famous musicians?
No.
6. What song best describes your life?
“You Can Get it if You Really Want” by Jimmy Cliff. This reggae hit taught me that, in order to succeed, one must be driven and actually want to achieve success.
7. How important is your partner’s taste in music to you?
Not important in the slightest.
8. Do you sing in the shower?
No. Instead I have meaningful discussions with one of my alternate personalities.
9. What was the last live music show you attended? Did you buy a t-shirt?
Metallica in December 2009. No, I didn’t buy a T-shirt.
10. What’s the sweetest song in the world?
“My Girl”, by the Temptations
11. Can you play a musical instrument? Which one?
No.
12. Are you in a band or are you a performing solo music artist? If yes, what kind of music do you play?
No.
13. Have you ever dated a musician?
At the risk of really driving home my boringness, no.
14. Are you a groupie?
– If yes, for what artist/band?
– If no, do you wish you were and for what music performing artist or band?
No. At another point in my life I might have wished that I was – or even worked hard to be – a groupie doling out sexual favors for the likes of the Donnas, AC/DShe, the Runaways, Luscious Jackson, or Liz Phair. Now, sadly, the life of a groupie no longer suits me.
Bonus: Describe your worst, best, strangest, funniest or saddest concert moment.
Best: High-fiving Brian Johnson at an AC/DC concert in Boston.
Funniest: Watching an out-of-place Dad try to look hip at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, and watching his kids try to enjoy themselves with their Dad standing next to them.
Bonus, Bonus: If you listen to the radio, what station and type of music are you tuned to the most?
Radio? What is this, 2002?
Jill’s Answers
1. What’s the most annoying song in the world?
“Milk and Cereal by G Love and the Special Sauce.” After that one is “I Love My Shirt” by Dion, and the main theme from “Super Mario Bros.” These are all songs that Jack has forced me to listen to on road trips.


2. What’s the saddest song in the world?
“My Heart Will Go On”, by Celine Dion. I happened to hear this song last night, and it really got to me.
3. What’s the sexiest song in the world?
“Pour Some Sugar On Me” by Def Leppard. There’s no question about it. I’ve had a lot of sex with this song playing.


4. Name a new, to you, band or music artist that you can’t get enough of? Post a link to one of their songs.
I have no idea. I’m pretty far from the mainstream musical zeitgeist.

No.


6. What song best describes your life?
Probably “Manic Monday”, by the Bangles. It accurately describes the start of my work week.
7. How important is your partner’s taste in music to you?
It’s not that important. There are way too many factors I consider much more important. I can’t imagine his taste in music, or movies for that matter, to be a deal-breaker.

Yes I do. Shh! Don’t tell anyone.


9. What was the last live music show you attended? Did you buy a t-shirt?
A friend’s band performed at a local bar. I’m going with that because the last actual concert I went to was almost a decade ago.

“Top of the World” by The Carpenters

– If yes, for what artist/band?

Bonus, Bonus: If you listen to the radio, what station and type of music are you tuned to the most?
Whether I’m driving or working out, chances are I’m listening to an audio book rather than the radio.
