I'm having a relatively difficult time at the moment when it comes to sex. I've mentioned that my wife, through absolutely no fault or choice on her part, has become very sex-averse. A medical condition has made intercourse painful, and she's not into oral sex. Which leaves the very occasional hand job. It's not terribly satisfying to me since it's the sort of thing I can do myself. I'm sexually very adventurous, yet I'm now essentially celibate through no choice on my own part. I was discussing this with my friend a week or so ago, and he - being more than a little old school - was shocked. In his opinion she has to satisfy me. In his mind it's part of the "wifely" duty. I didn't tell him this, but I find myself put off by this sort of attitude, and I am certain my wife's reaction to being told it's her duty to get me off would be greeted with...well, let's just say it wouldn't go well. Nor should it. It isn...

I've mentioned before that I was quite adventurous sexually during my college years. Under the philosophy of "try anything once" I was open to a variety of adventures, some of which are best left alone to rot under the headline of "bad ideas", but some serve to inform my current review of my sexuality. I don't expect anything terribly useful to come of my introspections given that I am effectively celibate for the forseeable future (see the previous entries on my wife's medical condition). So, in some ways, I'm left to live in the past. I've mentioned previously that I am essentially bisexual. Roughly 80% female oriented, with 20% or so male oriented. It made for some interesting encounters over the years, and part of who I am is because I find both men and women attractive, though for almost entirely different reasons. Aesthetically I am drawn to both. As a photographer I would love to start a new series of shot...

Have a number of things I've wanted to post about but haven't done so. Fortunately an entire year ahead for that to be corrected. Sex and intimacy have been on my mind a lot lately. Or lack thereof. My wife, still recovering from her medical issues of the last couple of years, has become less tactile than ever before. Of course this occurs naturally in most marriages, but it's particularly nasty timing since I've been losing the weight and getting hornier than I've been in decades. All of which I've discussed before. But the physical intimacy is the most significant part of my frustration. There's a general consensus that as men age they begin to appreciate cuddling and touch more than we did when we were younger. (Younger men are pretty much all about rushing to the cock and getting off as quickly as we could. Watch gay porn with younger men and you'll see what I mean - straight to the groin, pun not intentional.) But now that I'm...
