A White Christmas

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Hope all the members of our little community are having a wonderful Christmas.

I'm visiting the grandkids and we had a white Christmas. There were flurries starting when we went into church on Christmas Eve and when we came out there was a blanket of snow on the ground. And it stopped after an inch or so so we have a nice Currier and Ives white blanket on the ground without dealing with a major storm.

The grandkids are 10 and 9 and one has already figured out the Santa thing so we don't have many years left of leaving cookies out for Santa.

So again, Merry Christmas. And does anyone get a Christmas spanking?

Breastfeeding

You will not get a Christmas card this year showing Mary breastfeeding Jesus.

But did you know that for over a thousand years, paintings of Mary breastfeeding were very common. But according to this article, the invention of the printing press made porn possible and sexualized women's bodies and breasts. And paintings of Mary breastfeeding were no longer considered appropriate. And the crucification -- and I would say the Resurrection -- became the dominant religious themes.

It's also interesting that in our times, bottle feeding became very popular but now there is a trend for women to go back to breastfeeding and for working women to use a pump to keep a ready supply of breast milk. Interesting how times change.

Anyway, here's the link to the article along with a series of pictures of paintings about Mary breastfeeding.

Men and Women

Here's an interesting NY Times article about social science. It says men are dumber around women. And that women inhibit their own performance or try not to act as smart as they really are. In math tests, women do better if they sign a fake name than their real name.

The interaction between men and women is so fascinating. Here's the link:

Keeping the Flame Alive

Here's an interesting story about Kevin Bacon's wife talking about how they keep their 24-year marriage very hot.

Kyra Sedgwick says he has high moral standards, doesn't lie or cheat and she finds that sexy. He also "makes me feel like I'm the only beautiful woman in the room -- the only girl in the room. He says, "honey, you look beautiful. You are sexy. Always, Always, Always!''

Good advice for men. Don't women like to be told they are beautiful and sexy. And now that they are empty nesters, they spend more time walking around the house naked.

Dealling with Stress

We all have stress in our lives and I think blogging is a good way of dealing with it. We can be candid here about how lives, the good and the bad.

Giving up Hollywood

With the holiday season coming up, it means that it's time for "It's a Wonderful Life'' to be on TV again.

It used to be on all the time but the rights were bought up and it's now shown only on a limited basis in the holiday season. It's a Frank Capra classic. I would think most of you have seen it but it's always good to introduce it to another generation.

Anyway, I found this story that one of the actresses in the movie gave up her career to marry the man she loved and moved to Michigan to raise a family and they're still together in their 80s and she has no regrets or second thoughts. Kind of a love story for the holidays.

Should a Woman Propose?

BDSM's 12 Days of Christmas

Meanwhile, I can't believe Christmas is two weeks from this coming Tuesday. So much to do -- gifts to buy and cards to address -- and so little time.

Which reminds me if you don't watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart, he did a spoof on the idea that there is a War on Christmas. He said Christmas has obviously won if there is such a war because it seems to have already swallowed up Thanksgiving Day. It's pretty funny if you want to google it.

Erotica

It looks like the success of "Fifty Shades'' has spawned more interest in erotic novels. The Anne Rice Sleeping Beauty trilogy, original written under a pseudonym, is being reissued with the tag line that if you liked Shades, you will love this one.

I haven't read Shades but read the Sleeping Beauty series years ago before I knew Anne Rice wrote it.

Anyway, I found this story about erotic writing, including one called "Carrie's Story,'' which is called an erotic S/M novel and the reviewer says it is even well written. Sounds like it might be worth checking out.

They didn't include Laura Reese's two novels, "Panic Snap'' and "Topping from Below'' that I recommend. But they do include Nancy Friday's Secret Garden which I also read years ago.

Here's the link if you want to check out any of the books.

War Sex

A female West Point graduate wrote an interesting article in the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Petraeus scandal about sex in the military. She also has a blog called War Virgin that you can click on to read about how her father told her she would lose her sparkle in her eye if she had sex. So she had orgasms dry humping her boyfriend.

Then she goes to West Point where sex isn't allowed in the barracks. And so she's still a virgin at 24 when she goes to Iraq.

"I had no idea that a combat zone with be such a sexually charged environment. Blame it on amped up testosterone pouring out of aggressive, athletic men. Or blame it on combat stripping even the strongest men and women down to their core, raw emotions. Combine this with forming special bonds with comrades who promise to do whatever it takes to ensure you safe return home, including sacrificing their lives for yours. What do you think happens?

"Let me tell you, covert combat sex (or in my case, hard-core making out, because I was too scared to go "All-in'') ranks high on the list of life's thrills. I'm a comfortable civilian now, and I know it's impossible to inject that intense passion back into my life. But I reflect on it every day. There's nothing that compares to making love at war.''

We often hear about sexual harassment in the military. But not so much about how exciting consensual sex can be in a combat zone.

Here's the link to the story and you can also click on to her blog. She also does a comedy show. I wonder if she will be on HBO soon.

Giving Thanks

I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving and have a lot to be thankful for.

I am thankful that I met my good girl for the first time last weekend and I still can't describe how nice it was to cuddle with her, touch her, rub her, fondle her, suck her, lick her and, yes, spank her with my riding crop, put pins on her and tie her. And even shower with her. And so nice to have her touch and cuddle and rub and suck and lick me. We are both so lucky and thankful that we met each other.

The only downer about this Thanksgiving is that we are long distance again and only could spend time on the phone although we both were able to spend times with friends who invited us to their homes for good times and food.

But we still had fun on Thanksgiving night as I had her rub her boobs and put the Hitachi vibe on her clit and heard her say, "Please don't stop, sir.'' I love it when she wants more. And soon I heard those moans of pleasure and those lovely words, "I came for you, Sir.''

And then I thought we would cap the night by having her use her dildo. Alas, she couldn't find it. She apparently misplaced it when she unpacked her suitcase. We had a good laugh over that as I put her to bed. We even enjoy laughing together. But now she has a project over the long weekend. Find the dildo!!!  Have to unravel the Case of the Missing Dildo.

Yes, it was a memorable Thanksgiving even though we're in a LDR again.

First meeting

If you have been in a LDR, do you remember your first meeting?

My good girl and I had that first meeting last weekend and I must admit we were both a bit nervous and anxious about finally meeting in person. Would we click the same way we did texting and then on the phone? Well, it turned we had nothing to fear and it was wonderful. My good girl already posted a blog on it and you can read the link:    

http://pouredoutlett.blogspot.com/

Yes, I did take what I wanted and I wanted a lot but she seemed happy to give it to me. When she asked, "Did I give you what you wanted?'' I couldn't have been happier. As I told her, she is S@S -- sexy and submissive.

And, yes, a riding crop is a very good spanking tool.  I've read blogs about women who don't feel they are getting enough spankings so I made sure she didn't have that feeling. Spanked her OTK, leaning over the bed and laying down on the bed at different times.  The crop is very effective and I would alternate with a few taps and then a hard swat that would have her legs dancing. And after a set of 20, I would rub her pussy to combine pain and pleasure. And after a few sets, her butt would be a nice rosy pink. A wonderful color. And gave her a boob spanking too. And we had some good bondage, too. And playing with her pussy was a treat, too, to get it so wet.

As she said, we're both cuddlers and that was nice to find out. I think we cuddled for hours exploring our bodies. I'm always ready for cuddling. In fact, I started with an hour of cuddling -- after presenting her with flowers -- and then we went out to lunch. And then we got down to play. By then her anxiety was gone and she was ready to serve me. I call her my good girl but she is also my dream girl.

And, yes, I've missed her too so much since I left. She said we're ruined. But I think the better word is spoiled. After being together and going to sleep in her arms and waking up in her arms, it is so difficult to saying good morning and good night to her on the phone. I miss that touch.

We will be counting the days until we meet again.

The latest Eve

By now, you've all read about Gen. Petraeus and his mistress but I wanted to link to one interesting column about how the woman gets blamed for seducing the great man. It's a theme that dates back to Eve and the apple. Interesting that whoever dreamed up the Adam and Eve story made the woman the seducer.

Granted, the woman in this story was so obsessed with the general that she sent out threatening emails to another woman. But the general didn't have to fall for her fawning attention.

Anyway, here's the link:

Casablanca

It's been 70 years since they filmed Casablanca and it remains on the short list of the greatest films of all time. If you haven't seen it, you should. To start with, the two leading characters, Bogey and Ingrid Bergman, are two of the best in Hollywood history. There's nobody in Hollywood today in their league. Bergman was beautiful and talented. And Bogey, was. well, Bogey.

And it was so well written. We remember the lines. "Here's looking at you kid,'' "I'm shocked, shocked,'' "We'll always have Paris,'' "Play it, Sam.'' He did not use the word again. And the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

The movie was so good that they've never done a sequel. There have been attempts but they've never gotten off the ground. How can you do another Mona Lisa? Now there's another attempt with a screenplay written by one of the original authors in which Bergman got pregnant the night she begged for the letters of transit and her son was born in America and raised by Victor and comes back to Casablanca.

By the way, I don't know if you knew that during the filming, they hadn't decided whether it would end with Bergman staying with Bogey. She kept asking them to make up their mind because she would play it a different way if she knew which man she would end up with. They had two endings and once they filmed the first one, they knew they had it and they never did the second one.

Anyway, here's a link to the story about the possibility of a sequel. I don't know how I feel about a sequel. It almost has to be a disappointment because it will be compared to the original.

Anyway, here's the link:

Tax Cuts for the Rich

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for an interesting tidbit on the effect of tax cuts for the rich.

As you may know, the GOP has consistently favored tax cuts for the wealthy, saying it helps economic growth and creates jobs. Obama wants to restore the rates on those making over $250,000 to what they were in the Bill Clinton era, a modest rise of 3 to 4 per cent.

Anyway, the Congressional Research Service conducted a study on tax cuts for the wealthy and found, not surprisingly, that the effect is more money for the wealthy. They don't help economic growth and create jobs. Tax cuts for middle class help the economy more because those people tend to go out and spend money.

Well, the GOP didn't like this report and asked them to withdraw it but the N.Y. Times published it this week. Here's the link:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/01/congressional-research-service_n_2059156.html

That's why Tuesday's election is going to be important for the kind of country we have. The GOP has been very effective is convincing half the country that tax cuts for the top one per cent is good for the country. We will see if the voters give a mandate to that idea by electing Romney. 

Unfortunately, in this country, your vote only makes a difference if you live in a swing state like Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nevada, Colorado, Florida, New Hampshire and Virginia.

The person who gets the most votes doesn't get to be president as Al Gore found out in 2000. It all depends on which candidates wins which states and in about 40 of them, one party or the other is certain to win.  

We find out a lot of answers Tuesday or Wednesday morning unless there is a recount.

Why do men love breasts?

Like most men, I am into breasts. All sizes and shapes. Love to look at them, caress them, fondle them and squeeze them and even spank them and put pins on them. I love breast play. And sometimes I wonder why. What it is about them that attract me to them. And I've just decided that is the way most men are wired. Just as the people in the D/s lifestyle are wired to like it. Or at least I think they are.

Anyway, here is a link to an article on why men like breasts. The authors contend it has something to do with breast feeding. I don't know I agree with that because not all babies are breastfed. Anyway, I will be interested in your thoughts on the subject. And since my readers tend to be women, I am curious what you think about men's fixation with your breasts. What is your reaction when they don't make eye contact and stare at them. And do you like the man in your life playing with them.

Americana

I haven't posted much lately, but have been busy while making three short business trips. On one of them, I got to see my daughtger and grandkids and that's always a treat. And I thought I'd share an experience about the other two. One was visting the World War II museum in New Orleans. I don't know how many of you have been to New Orleans lately. It's a tragedy what Katrina and the incompetent levee building did to the city. But the tourist area is back and there's no better city to visit. Most places are in walking distance and the restaurants are wonderful and the French Quarter is always lively. And the beignets at Cafe Du Monde are always a treat. But it was my first time visting the World War II museum. New Orleans may seem like an odd place for the museum instead of Washington but the boats that landed at Normandy were designed and built there by a man named Andrew Higgins. The idea of having a landing boat in which the front flipped down seems so obvious but somebody had to invent it. And Andrew Higgins did. The boats were destroyed after the War but a group of veterans got the original plans and spent every Saturday for three years to build one to show at the museum. What surprised me is that they were wood except for the part that flipped down. The museum is a look at America in the War, a different time when the fate of Western civilization was at stake. It wasn't a perfect time. Racism and homophobia and sexism were just accepted. But we did meet the challenge. We are going through a tough patch now -- mostly self-inflicted because the one per cent is doing a good job of trying to return us to the gilded age -- but we don't face the type of threats we faced then. We have to deal with terrorism but not with threats to our way of life. Anyway, the museum has many interesting tidbits. For example, famed photographer Robert Capa took 106 pictures at Omaha Beach and all but 11 were lost in a photo lab accident. You can google the ones left. I could go on but if you want to read more about it, you can google it. And if you get a chance to visit New Orleans, don't miss the museum. And then I visited the Mall of American outside Minneapolis. It is a look at what America is like today. It has to be seen to be believed. It is built around what amounts to an amusement park. Seeing all the shoppers makes it difficult to belive the economy is sluggish. I'm actually not that much of a shopper but it is worth seeing. And there's a French place that has delicious chocolate croissants, which I love. And since it was the end of the day, they threw in some free croissants of a different kind. Basically, it is a fancy mall with a lot of bells and whistles. I will soon get back to my regular scheduling programming but I thought I'd share some of my travel experiences with you if you are interested.

Nora Ephron on Breasts

After I did my last post on the history of bras, my good girl and I were talking about how most women don't tend to be happy with their breasts. They either think they are too small or too big or something.

What made me think of Nora Ephron's famous Esquire magazine article on Breasts. She died recently and is best known for movies like When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and Heartburn. But she was also a terrific writer and the memory pieces people wrote on her passing often mentioned her essay on having small breasts. It is still remembered all these years later and despite all her success. So I thought I'd share it with you. I hope you read it. Clever writing and a great example of how even successful women can get hung up on the size of their breasts. Here's the link:

http://penusa.org/sites/default/files/Ephron.pdf

From the male perspective, I am fine with breasts of any size and shape. I just don't like implants.

But are there readers out there who want to say they are happy with theirs?

History of the Bra

Bras were supposed to be a fairly modern invention that replaced the corset. But now a 600 year old bra has been discovered in an Austrian castle, suggesting women went from to bras to corsets and back to bras. Also, back in the day, women didn't wear panties. Here's the link:

Two thousand calories

I had a great morning playing tennis for almost four hours. Two sets of mixed doubles and two more of singles with two different guys. One guy has a counter and he burned over 1800 calories after three sets so I figured I went over 2000 playing the second set. Now I eat some high calorie food like cherry pie.

After the third set, one guy said his wife was a rep for a drug company selling what he called old men's drugs including cialis and a drug with testosterone. I digress but it's nice to be retired while your wife still works. Anyway, he said cialis made older guys who don't need it feel like 25 although I said I had read it doesn't make a difference for guys without E.D. He said he hadn't used it himself to prove this theory. Then the other guy, who's 73, said his girlfriend was coming over tonight and he was popping cialis, which he called "hamburger helper.''

And then the first guy said, "Are you guys going to talk about erections or play more tennis?' Cracked me up.

This reminded me that on a blog this week, a blogger used the word "impotence'' and I said that so old-fashioned because once the drug companies figured out they would make money on it, they repackaged it as "E.D.'' and took the taboo out of it with millions of dollars worth of ads. I guess our conversation proved my point. Can't imagine guys having that conversation years ago. The drug companies turned it into a blood flow problem imstead of something to do with your manhood. Times change.

Tennis addiction

We all have our addictions. Mine in tennis. Love to play. I'm not very good but when I can play guys and gals on my level, the competition is fun and the exercise is good.

I don't get to play as often as I'd like, but had some time off this week and this morning (Friday) I played for the ninth time since 8 a.m. Monday morning. Twice a day Monday through Thursday. And this morning,  I burned about 1350 calories. One of the guys has a monitor and that was his rate so I assume I was about the same. So I am going to splurge and grill a steak and have some egg nog. I put a few quarts of egg nog in the back of the freezer during the holidays because they don't sell them the rest of the year. Every couple of months I take one out. The calories are ridiculous, 190 for half a cup. But I figure I can treat myself after a good workout instead of drinking Vitamin Zero water the way I usually do after playing. 

If you are still reading will add a story. A woman on the next court this morning had a white thing around an inch wide that looked somewhat braided around her neck. The thought crossed my mind was it a collar of some kind but I figured what are the odds of that. And then I noticed she no longer had it on. During a break, I realized she had it around her head under her white visor. It was a head band. Don't know why she started with it around her neck and why she wanted a headband and a visor. It made me think, headbands could do as makeshift collars. I guess I am always thinking about the D/s lifestyle.

Well, time to light the grill. Have a good day and hope it includes a good spanking.

Watch This Movie

Five years ago, filmmaker Michael Moore did a documentary called "Sicko''  on the crisis in America's health care industry. I just watched it this week with my good girl and it is even more relevant today with the health care debate going on.

If you haven't seen it, I recommend you getting it from your library or video store or Netflicks. Moore tells all the horror stories of people dying when they are denied a procedure or going bankrupt because of medical expenses and one older couple moving in the storage room of their daughter's house when they went bankrupt because of medical expenses.

And then he went to Canada, England and France and even Cuba -- yes Cuba -- to show how they have better health care than we do.

Of course, he could now do a sequel with the current debate. It is almost hard to believe. Obama gets a modest bill passed that eliminates some of the horrors like stopping the insurance companies from denying coverage because of pre-existing illnesess that was modeled after the bill Mitt Romney passed in Massachusetts that covers 98 per cent of the people and includes an individual mandate. And now Romney is running against it and threatening to repeal it if he is elected.

The critics talk about government takeover of health care when it actually leaves the insurance companies in charge. And, of course, we have government health care for those over 65 called Medicare and it is popular. Nobody would consider repealing that.

Well, enough of that rant but I would recommend the movie if you want a good luck about what a mess our health care system is.

America in the 21st Century

Here is a depressing story about how America is no longer the land of opportunity.

We tend to live in the same social status that we were born in because of the income inequality in this country these days. There is not much upward mobility. Only eight per cent of the students in our elite schools come from the bottom half in income.

Pretty provocative and depressing stuff. Not the fun, sexy stuff I usually like to write about but I think it is worth a read.

Birthday Memories

We made some wonderful memories on our birthdays. I love making memories.

As I promised, there were birthday spankings two days in a row. One blogger asked what my good girl thought of that. Well, here is her answer on her blog: 

http://pouredoutlett.blogspot.com/

As it turned out,, the timing wasn't the best. She had been dealing with a lot of issues lately. Relative issues,, car issues and she developed a nasty cough from an allergy that seettled in her chest. And it wasn't a good time of the month. So I did an undomly thing and asked her if she wanted to delay the birthday spanking Tuesday night. I wanted her in the mood. And she was. In her soft submissive voice, she said she was ready for a spanking. She got a good pussy spanking. And with the help of the hitachi on her boobs and clit, she came three times.

We then repeated it on my birthday Wednesday night but this time she got an ass spanking that left her with a very pink bottom. Love hearing her saying things like "I love you playing with my boobs, sir,'' "I love cuming for you ,sir,'' "I love giving you what you want, sir' 'and I love making you happy. sir.'' That was all music to my ears.

And I added a couple of new things to celebrate our birthdays. Not only a new morning ritual, but I've also decided to dress her once or twice a week. You should know my good girl is a very good dresser who color coordinates all of her outfits. And for the past few months, I have been having her tell me every day what she wears to work down to the color of her bra and panties. So I know her wardrobe and have decided to tell her how I want her to dress once or twice a week. Another way for her to serve me and to feel submissive to me.

Yes, we made a lot of birthday memories.

Happy Birthday To Us

What are the odds of my good girl and I having birthdays on consecutive day?

Well, believe it or not,, her birthday is today and mine is tomorrow. We were both so surprised
when we found that out. This is the second time we celebrated our birthdays but this is the first time we sent each other cards. A year ago, we had been playing for less than a month. Sunday will be our 13th month anniversary.

She was a newbie when we first started to talk after she blogged looking for information on the lifestyle. So we got a chance to talk for a month and get to know each other before we took the plunge.

I had offered to give her a taste if she wanted to dip her toe in the water. She seemed hesitant so I
wanted to give her time but I think she was probably looking for me to take the lead. So on April
27th a year ago when she said she was getting horny just talking about it, I decided it was time.

Well, it turns out she was ready and I think she loves the submissive lifestyle. She not only dipped
her toe in the water, she plunged in the pool from the Olympic diving board. In no time, she
was collared and proudly wearing my marks that she refreshes each day. We make the best of
being in a LDR.

I haven't had to train her or give her a list of rules. I just tell her what I want her to do and her reply usually is, "I want to make you happy.''  I love hearing those six words and she is very good at doing that. And I like being there for her whenever she has to cope with difficult times.

So with our birthdays on back-to-back days, we will double the fun and she will get birthday
spankings on both days.

As I said in the title, Happy Birthday to Us.

Hefner's Kitchen

Most of you have heard of the Playboy Mansion and the life Hugh Hefner lives there with too many women to count.

But what count my eye is this story that he has a fully staffed kitchen 24 hours a day with top-notch chefs even though he is not that much of a gourmet eater.

I've often thought that being rich is overrated. Can you be happier in a mansion than a 2500 square
foot house? Does driving a Porsche instead of a Camry make you happier? The one advantage for me would be to have a private plane and not have to deal with TSA security. And the second would be the idea of having your own fully staffed kitchen. I would be eating a lot of lobster, dover sole, rack of lamb and veal francaise.

Anyway, here's the link. Don't know if you find this as interesting as I do but I thought I'd share it.

Mother's Day

I want to wish all the mothers out there a happy Mother's Day although we should probably be celebrating mothers more than one day a year. It may be the toughest job in the world and you tend to do it when you are young and still finding yourself.

But I also want to remember all the women out there who areen't mothers. I hate it at church when they ask all the mothers to stand up. I always think of the women who don't stand up. I know some women aren't mothers because they chose not to be and I am fine with that.

On the other hand, some women aren't mothers because they weren't able to have kids or their spouses didn't want to have kids.Or they stayed single and didn't want to be a single mother. My sister knows a woman who married a guy who told her up front he wasn't going to have kids. She married him anyway but told him contraception would be his responsibility. And maybe she thought he might change his mind. But every single time without fail, he used a condom and that never failed.

So I just want to wish a good day to all women.

Beach Reading

I was talking to a couple of guys at the beach Sunday and the wife of one of them was reading a book. I glanced at the book cover and, yes, it was Fifty Shades of Grey.

So I asked her what she thought of it. Said I'd seen the thing about it on 20-20, but obviously  didn't tell her this was a subject I knew a lot about. She said all her girl friends were talking about it so she had to check it out. She said said she knew nothing about the lifestyle and said it was "out there'' and "graphic'' but didn't seem negative about it.

Said she couldn't "give in'' like that. I wanted to tell her submission isn't giving in but didn't want to appear to know too much about the subject. I haven't read the book but it does seem to have introduced vanilla people to the lifestyle. It is interesting how some books catch on. Laura Reese wrote two very good novels -- Panic Snap and Topping From Below and neither caught on the way this one did. The fact it is beach reading -- she said it was pretty simple and easy to read -- shows how popular it has become.

Have any of you noticed your vanilla friends reading it?

I would think this product would have gotten more notice or are they reluctant to advertise it? And I'm curious if the smell if close to the real thing? I actually thought it might be a spoof but they have a website and sell it online.

Oh, and do you like the way you smell? Does the man in your life like it?

And what about the taste? Do you like your taste? Does he?

I hope you will share.

Blogger Is Driving Me Crazy

 What do you think of the new blogger page?

I think it is much worse than the one they had before. Why can't they leave well enough alone. First it was the two word verification that is so difficult to read. And now this.

Or is it just me?

I think it is much more difficult to navigate.

Hickeys

Is it just me or do women not get many hickeys anymore? And if not, why not? I don't seem to notice them much anymore. I remember when girls wore scarves to cover them. I wonder if couples don't do as much foreplay as they used to and go right for the sex.

Anyway, I thought of this when I saw this story on one of the Kardashians having a hickey. The Kardashians are a story in themselves. I don't know how they become famous or how many they are. I just hear their names a lot.

Anyway, here's the link of one of them supposedly having a hickey.

And do many of our bloggers get hickeys these days? I like a lot of foreplay that leaves hickeys.

Hair

I found this picture on the noddyblue.blogspot.com website. You don't see too many pictures of young women these days going natural with pussy hair that isn't trimmed or shaved.

Here is the link:

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiE1iMptn2rC9WgvTf2QusFYXebM07RSXsy-edXW-ck_1fqG3ZPNJO7W-1DObcIuTQq2uP-omTXp-_G5MNQY8Q16ZMy4Lee2fcLXO_vNV3s65eh_HbfAX0dYDGm_QturWSy5_ourqvvSZY/s1600/vulva_135_context.jpg

I happen to like it, maybe because I grew up in an era when pussy hair was considered so erotic that Playboy couldn't show it when it was first published.

But I know it is out of fashion now. Are there any bloggers out there who still prefer this look?

The Dangers of Sugar

A Time to Pray

I am sure you find that when you start reading a blog for some time, you start relating to people you have never met. You feel good for them when they have good times and empathy for them when they go through some difficult times.

Well, when I read Kitty's blog this morning, I found she is going through a difficult time.

Here's the link:

http://kitty-sweetsurrender.blogspot.com/2012/03/please-pray.html#comment-form

As she said, her mother-in-law is very ill. I can really relate to this since I just met her and her wonderful family on Sunday.

So if you are a reader of her blog, I hope you will stop by and wish her and her family the best and keep her in her prayers and give her a big cyber hug. If you are a lurker and read her and haven't commented, I'm sure she would appreciate hearing from you.

It's nice when the members of the blogging community support each other.

Meeting Kitty

One of the fun things about blogging is getting to know people in the lifestyle and making new friends who email and keep in touch.

And now for the second time, I’ve actually met one of the bloggers. Last fall, I met the lovely PK at elisnewbeginnings.blogspot You can click on her on my blogroll.

And yesterday I had lunch with Kitty and her Daddy and five of their children after trading emails with her since last November.

You can find her blog at:

http://kitty-sweetsurrender.blogspot.com/

As I was writing this, she posted her blog about our meeting.

We really had a fun time and I can start by telling you that Kitty is very well. For some reason, she’s gotten some Anonymous posts from time to time claiming her blog is fiction. I don’t know why some people are so small minded but they may be skeptical because she is something of a Wonder Woman, raising eight kids and home schooling them as well as having a wonderful relationship with her Daddy.

On top of all that she is a runner who keeps herself fit and looks more like her teen daughter's older sister than her mother.

If you’ve read her blog, the and Daddy fell in love when she was still a teen and yet these many years later, they still have that spark as you can tell by her blog. And seeing them with their kids, they are obviously good parents. Their kids were a delight to meet.

Anyway, it was great to meet the person behind the blog and if you don’t read her blog already, I hope you pop over and check it out. And read the chapters of “Our Love Story.’’ It would make a good book or move. She is truly blessed and I enjoyed meeting her and her family.

And, Kitty, it was good to hear you post that your first time meeting with someone from the blogging world was a great experience. It was for me, too.

Sore nipples

One of my favorite things is having my good girl put pins on her nipples. It seems so simple and takes only 20 minutes or so for them to have their effect. She can cum when they are on. And then there is the rush of pain when she takes them off and then they are sore for a couple of days.

I must admit I love having her nipples sore for me as a reminder of her submission to me and how she likes to serve me and make me happy.

I don't know if many of our bloggers have their nipples pinned or clamped but I thought I would share that it makes me feel very much in control of her. And she seems to enjoy it when she obeys and submits to my control. She likes to SSO -- serve, submit and obey.

Would You Trade Brains for (Bigger) Breasts?

According to this article, about one-third of young women would trade brains for breasts.

Here's the link:

http://living.msn.com/love-relationships/love-sex/many-women-would-trade-brains-for-breasts-poll-finds

I think part of the problem is that society sends the wrong message to young women about how obsessed we are about breast size. I like to think women should feel comfortable in their own skin and their own bodies, but our society contributes to them feeling insecure. And I think smart women are very sexy.

What are your thoughts?

Is BDSM Going Mainstream?

I was surprised to see a new BDSM novel called "Fifty Shades of Grey'' being written about on page one of the New York Times today. It says it is the book everybody is talking about but I'd never heard of it.

I have included a link to that story as well as two other stories on it. You can google it for more.

As you may know, BDSM mainstream fiction is somewhat limited. There was the classic "Story of O'' written by a French submissive written for her Dom. A documentary called "Writer of O'' has been done on her. Then there was Nine 1/2 Weeks by a woman whose real identity was never revealed. The film version cut out out most of the BDSM and the novel was spoiled by the ending in which she ends up in a hospital.

Then there was Laura Reese who wrtote two very good books called "Panic Snap'' and "Topping from Below.''

And the Sleeping Beauty series written by Anne Rice under the name A.N. Roquelaure.

And The Marketplace, a series of novels by Laura Antoniou.

If you google BDSM fiction, there are many more but the ones I mentioned have gotten the most attention and I find it interesting that this latest one made the front page of the Times. Maybe it shows more women are willing to admit they are intrigued by BDSM although there are male subs, too. Anyway, here's the links to three stories about it.

Five words

When I got home from playing tennis morning, I saw I had this message from my good girl:

"I'm so horny today, Sir.''

Now those are five words I love to see. It was understandable since she hadn't been feeling well this week and our play time had been limited. Now she was feeling much better.

So I always believe in striking while the iron is hot or the pussy is tingling.

As soon as she got home from work, we started playing with a good spanking, pins on her pussy lips and some good boob rubbing. I wasn't surprised that it wasn't long before she was begging. Things like, "I'm so ready for you to fuck me. Make me cum, Sir. Please, Sir, your good girl wants to cum for you Sir. Please make me cum for you Sir. I'm so horny for you.''

Words like that are music to my ears and I let her keep begging. Finally, I gave her a cum and she said she felt like "jello.'' After the second and third, she said she was out of it.

After some cuddling time, I put her down for a well-deserved nap.

I have to say it was a wonderful way to begin the weekend. Hope you are having a good weekend, too.

Different Strokes for Different Folks

Painspleasure blogged that she doesn't like spankings. Particularly the OTK variety.

On the other hand, she likes watersports. And she wrote, "Being peed on and being told what a dirty filthy bitch I am whilst kneeling covered in his piss gets me going a lot. I love it. I will beg for it''

Here's the link:

Oscar Dresses

Since it is Academy Award time, I thought it would be interesting to link to the dresses worn by the best actress winners back to Mary Pickford.

Seeing her dress and hairdo, it's interesting how fashion has changed over the years.

Also, I was struck by the stunning beauty of Grace Kelly and a young Elizabeth Taylor.

Anyway, one of my favorite parts of the show is seeing how the women are dressed. Especially if they show a lot of cleavage. Hey, what can I say, I'm a guy. Although not much cleavage showing in these pictures but thought it was interesting to check them out.

Wanting more Spankings

One frequent blog topic is women writing that they don't feel they are getting enough spankings. So I thought I would share some thoughts on the subject by two different bloggers.

The first one by faerie who writes about how her husband is giving her the spankings she needs. He said he doesn't understand why it works and she doesn't care if she ever does, but she knows it works and she feels much better.

http://faerielernstofly.blogspot.com/2012/02/stress-relief-spanking.html

The second is Mick, who spanks his wife and said four women wrote him to ask if he would write their husbands to explain why they want to embrace the domestic discipline lifestyle and even be spanked if necessary. He noted it is hard to give general guidelines because each DD relationship takes on different dynamics. But he gave some good insight.

http://husbandlytouch.blogspot.com/2012/02/letter-to-hoh.html

My comment is that I can understand some guys might not be into spanking and it might not do anything for them. But a good husband should be looking for ways to connect with his wife. If spankings can accomplish that, why not do it? The satisfaction in making your wife happy should make it worthwhile. Think of it as foreplay.

Your thoughts?

More on Australian Kisses

We had some interesting answers on my questions about Australian kisses. So I thought I'd ask whether the guy in your life is eager to do them and if he likes the taste and the smell. Besides the nice taste, the smell is a special, sexy scent to me.

Don't know what our friends across the pond think of all this. Of course, many bloggers just like to spank, but for those who engage in SM, it is a precautionary tale.
