KEEPING IT CLEAN





Image result for Couples Showering TogetherI love shower sex.

There is something wonderfully erotic and refreshing about sharing a shower with
another person, or group of people for that matter. It doesn't even need to be about sex, though that's (obviously) a very nice extra.

I love shower sex. And I also love shower intimacy. Even if it doesn't end in sex, being close to another person and sharing the experience can be a powerful and erotic bonding experience.


Image result for Showering with FriendsIn our home we have specifically designed the showers to allow more than one person to shower at a time. In the master bedroom's bathroom the shower is so big it could hold three. (Even the bathtub is large enough for two...)

But they so rarely have been used for more than a single person that it's a lost opportunity. Our guest bathroom - we have a section of the house set aside for guests and we frequently rent it out on AirBnB - features a dual-head shower large enough for two, and we like to think some of the people who stay with us take advantage of it.

It's not strictly about sex. It's the sensual experience of another person's hands touching you. Washing your back. Sharing the closeness.


Yes it can lead to sex. Really, really good sex.

Communal showers in gyms - the YMCA, for example - was once a spot where men (and women) could go. It was often a quick thing to doff the clothing, wash and dry off, but most guys talked or laughed or joked around. Sports teams shower together
, not out of necessity so much as for team bonding.


It's an ancient act, this bathing together. But I kinda think the ancients knew what they were doing. Humans are a social species, and bathing is a ritual found in virtually all social species other than our own. We deprive ourselves of this simply act of bonding, and I have to wonder if we might be a little less judmental and argumentative if ritual bathing was part and parcel of the American social life.

Unfortunately we'll probably never relax enough to know.

LITTLE RAMBLER AND THE TINY PAPER SPEEDO

Image
  I’ve mentioned in previous entries that when I’m traveling I like to get bodywork. Massages and the like. Last February I posted this entry regarding a particularly good session with a Thai practitioner and how I would love to emulate that experience. Fast forward to June. My wife and I are traveling overseas and find a really good Asian massage place not far from our hotel. My first session was a good one. Deep bodywork and a positive result after days of travel. The only unfortunate, as far as I was concerned, was the need for me to wear either my underwear - cotton boxers - or this ridiculous paper thong that was two sizes too small. But, weighing the options the embarrassing thong went on and the bodywork was good. To put it bluntly, the thing barely covered Lil Rambler and both the boys - and virtually nothing else. Pubes, ass, pelvis, all fully exposed. But modesty, right? A few days later my wife and I decided to go back to the same massage place for our final night in th...

RESTORATION

Image
  Forgive me, Padre, for it has been many months since I last confessed. The truth of the matter is that I felt I was beginning to be repetitive in much of my posts, and wanted to wait until something new presented itself. Things appear to be going quite a bit better with my health, at least where my groin is concerned. The surgery to remove the vas deferens on my left side has really fixed the constant pain and bruising I had felt for more than a decade. A huge relief by any standard. I still have some remaining post-surgical scarring to deal with, and the left nut is still a tender to the touch, but both things are slowly resolving themselves. My sex life remains non-existent and will be so for the foreseeable future. My wife's condition is the same and I won't press the issue. Any orgasm is a solo act these days. On a more fun and upbeat note, in the last month I've enjoyed several instances of NMNM (Naked Male Naked Male), CFNM (Clothed Female Naked Male) and CMNM (Clot...

RUB-A-DUB-DUB

Last week my wife and I decided to take a short vacation out of town. One of the things we like to do when on a trip is pamper ourselves, usually with massages. I'm a huge fan of bodywork of all kinds, and there's little I find more indulgent and restful than a good massage. We found a local place that had great reviews online, and wasn't too expensive. Thai massage being the featured special, among other modalities.  The salon itself was a very modest affair, as these sort of places usually are. We knocked at the locked front door, and were politely let in by a young Asian gentleman.  The lobby, to be generous, had a small desk, stark white walls and pretty cheesy decor. The host, as a he called himself, handed us laminated "menus" of the treatment options. I went with what they called a therapeutic massage, essentially a Thai massage but using Tiger balm, followed by a soak in what was described as "hot tub."  We finished our paperwork, which also in...
