My workout routine is going well. I walk between 6K and 19K steps a day depending upon my work schedule. My job is heavily dependent upon walking, movement, and lifting heavy things, so it's perfect for getting a workout in. I swim for twenty minutes or so most days (before getting out and drying off naturally) . I have now added 20+ minutes of dance exercise to my daily routine. The right direction. Two years ago, when I was twenty pounds lighter than I am now, I was dancing for around 40 minutes a day. That exercise came as part of a longer term program to lose weight I had embarked upon. It got me down forty-plus pounds from my highest weight, and within striking distance of several major goals.  I danced around, just bopping around really, to various tracks on Youtube. Nothing formal. And it all collapsed as life intervened. But I'm pushing back. So I've resumed doing the dancing first thing in the morning. I started yesterday, and was pleasantly surpri...

If you don't recognize the titular reference, it's for a character from the tv show The Big Bang Theory. Kind of an appropriate show name for this topic, which is sexual experimentation. I am a firm believer that people of proper consensual age be encouraged to experiment sexually. Most of us do, anyway, but sexual and mental health depend upon a secure and enjoyable sex life. Without societal permission to explore sexual wants and needs we can assume roles which are not fully rewarding, and, in fact, can be quite damaging. I know this sort of thought is unusual, and will certainly never happen in modern American society. Many Americans have enough trouble understanding that they need to keep their minds and laws out of someone else's bedroom, let alone letting little Johnny or Sally try same-sex oral. Or multiple partners. Or anal, or mutual masturbation, or, or, or... Part of our sexual identity forms as a result of experience. Lacking that experience can lead t...

It's been a few months since I last posted. Not sure if that means I'm handling my self-analysis well, or if I'm avoiding the subject. Or maybe it's because a few of the previous topics started to run together and became a little bit repetitive. (How many times can I recall my halcyon days of college without becoming more than a little bit sad in the eyes of the readers?) But on to today's topic. I think I've said previously that I'm not a fan of professional porn. It's too sanitized and explicit to be believable, and my objective, when watching other people have sex, isn't to learn new sexual positions, it's to watch people genuinely enjoying themselves rather than performing.I'd rather focus on the face of a person coming to orgasm than on the friction that may be going on elsewhere. But I've recently come across a relatively obscure category of sexual video called "post-porn" which focuses (pardon the pun) ...
