TMI Tuesday #226 - Deadly Sins Edition

1. LUST: Besides your current Significant Other who do you lust for or have you lusted for?


I guess that all depends on who you consider my 'current significant other' to be...

2. GLUTTONY: What food brings out your inner glutton?

Oh...  Too many of them.  Lol.  Sushi.  Anything Italian...


3. GREED: What are you greedy for?

My frances.  Greedy to have her all to myself...


4. SLOTH: What is your plan for an ideal day of sloth?

Um...  An ideal day of sloth doesn't NEED a plan.


5. WRATH: Describe a time that you let out a can of whoop ass on someone.

Um...  Well, there's one a long ways back that I'm not proud of.  But it's TMI Tuesday, so...  *shrug*  This girl Leslie, who I dated out of high school and into college, made this new friend after I'd gone off to college.  Things went in inappropriate directions, and eventually she ended up sleeping with him.  But this was before all that.  I was at her house, and of course HE was there.  And it ended up coming out in a roundabout way that he'd spent the previous night there.  I was INFURIATED, and ended up dragging him from the house by the scruff of his shirt.  Like I said.  Not proud.


6. ENVY: Who or what do you envy? Why?

People with simple uncomplicated lives...


7. PRIDE: Have you ever had to swallow your pride? What are you proud of?


I have plenty to be proud of...  But I definitely have to swallow my pride sometimes.  Something I'm still kinda working on I guess.  Which mostly comes down to letting things go and proving my point a little less.  It's a work in progress, but aren't we all...

TMI Tuesday #224 - Six Degrees Edition

1. What famous people share your birthday? Any the same year as well as day?


Giuseppe Verdi, Thelonious Monk, David Lee Roth, Brett Favre, Dale Earnhardt, Jr...  And Mya on the same day and year.

2. Have you ever shared an address (before, during or after) with anyone famous?

The dorm that I lived in my Freshman year of college, I happen to know that Dan Marino also lived in during his time there.  And once locked my uncle in a bathroom there.  :-)


3. Who else has your name? (Google yourself and see who else shows up)

There's a kid who's a high school tennis player in Wisconsin.  I really confused his cousin once.  I tend to randomly friend people with my last name on Facebook (it's not a very common name), and it took his poor cousin a couple days and several exchanges of messages to realize that I wasn't him.


4. Test the Six Degrees theory. Do you know someone who might know someone who might know someone who might know someone who might know someone who knows President Obama? How about, say Dolly Parton?

Absolutely for President Obama.  My dad knows (former Homeland Security director) Tom Ridge.  Who, if he doesn't know the president personally, surely knows someone who does.  Or alternatively, my...  *counts* boss's boss's boss's boss's boss's boss is the Governor.  Who surely knows him also.


And for Dolly Parton, I bet I can get there through my brother.  Hmm...  Let me figure how.  


Ok.  My brother knows producer/engineer Ken Scott, who knows Paul McCartney, who knows Elvis Costello, who knows Emmylou Harris, who knows Dolly Parton.  There you go.


5. Try the sexual version. Have you had sex with someone who might have . . . anyone famous? (e.g. I slept with a woman who had slept with a Hollywood stuntman, who might have....)


Frances says:  "you slept with me and i COULDA slept with the accordion player from gogol bordello, but i contented myself to make googly eyes at him.  lol."


That's all I've got.  :-)

A BDSM Quiz...

So, I don't recall exactly where she found it (baby...?), but frances sent me a link the other day to a little BDSM quiz that she'd found a link to on another blog.  I took it too, of course, just to see how we compared.  Our overall result was both the same.  Which I don't think exactly surprised either of us.  But there were some things further down the numbers which we thought were interesting.  Overall, the result that we both got is this:

You Scored as Switch

You know what you want but it has nothing to do with your own role in the bedroom. You have the ability to be flexible in that area which can be useful for exploring you sexuality with your partner.

...which is absolutely right.  One of our biggest things is that we both enjoy switching off and playing different roles as the occasion calls.  More specifically, our numbers broke down like this...


Daniel:

Switch

100%

Experimental

82%

Exhibitionist / Voyeur

79%

Sadist

75%

Bondage

68%

Dominant

61%

Submissive

61%

Masochist

57%

Degradation Lover

32%

Vanilla

18%

Frances:

Switch

86%

Exhibitionist / Voyeur

75%

Submissive

71%

Experimental

68%

Sadist

64%

Bondage

61%

Dominant

54%

Masochist

50%

Degradation Lover

50%

Vanilla

14%

One of the most interesting things to me was that my numbers for 'Dominant' and 'Submissive' were exactly the same, while Frances' were almost 20 points apart, with submissive on top.  No pun intended.  ;-)  I think before we were together, we probably would've both thought of ourselves as mostly dominant.  But together...  We both certainly love to play both roles, but day to day, I tend to be the much more dominant one and frances the more submissive, and the numbers certainly bear that out.  Just interesting to see how different relationships can put us in such different perspective.


So...  If any of you take it, let us know how you do.  We'd be interested to see what fun things YOU find.

A Survey. We need your help!

TMI Tuesday #223 - Masturbation Edition

1. When you masturbate, how long, typically, is your session and what do you think about (other than having an orgasm)?


It depends on any number of things, including where I'm at, whether I'm under any time restrictions, and how turned on I'm feeling to start with.  But as some sort of average...  I'd say maybe 10 min?  What I'm thinking of varies too.  Sometimes I will have been watching something, reading something, etc., and that will have put a particular scenario in my head.  But often what I'm thinking about is that I'm looking forward to having a story to tell Frances. :-)

2. Have you ever been "caught" masturbating?


Never that I can think of, strangely.  Frances has maybe walked in to find me getting a head start...  But that was more of a planned thing. :-)

3. Have you ever masturbated in front of your computer? If 'yes' was it for your own purposes or for someone's viewing pleasure?

Of course I have!  That's where all the good porn is. :-) And it's quite often just for my own entertainment, but also...  Skype is a wonderful invention. :-)

4. Have you ever attended a group masturbation party? Same-sex or mixed?

I've never been invited, sadly...  :-/


5. When masturbating, as you reach orgasm, do you continue to stimulate yourself without interruption, or do you stop and apply pressure until your spasms subside? Or?

Not sure I'm familiar with this 'stop and apply pressure' technique you speak of.  Or maybe it's a girl thing?  Sometimes I'll keep right on going.  Sometimes I'll kinda let the first one build a little bit for a more kind of 'explosive' first shot.  Which is handy for decorating.  :-)


6. Have you ever video'ed yourself while masturbating (solo)? Where are they now?

Sure, I have.  There's some on my phone, some on frances' phone (she's got a favorite or two), and if 'Susan' counts as 'alone'...  Then there's at least one on this blog.


Bonus (as in optional): How often do you use the word "fuck" (or its derivatives) in casual conversation - frequently, occasionally, rarely, never

Depends on the audience, obviously.  But in general, I think somewhat rarely enough that it tends to keep its impact.
