I’m not fascinated by people who smile all the time. What I find interesting is the way people look when they are lost in thought, when their face becomes angry or serious, when they bite their lip, the way they glance, the way they look down when they walk, when they are alone and smoking a cigarette when they smirk, the way they half-smile, the way they try and hold back tears, the way when their face says they want to say something but can’t, the way they look at someone they want or love… I love the way people look when they do these things. It’s… beautiful.”

Some times it is closure you need and want, a closing kiss, an imprinting possession, a moan of defeat, an earthshaking giving-in, a swooning, tumbling, yelling ‘yes’ on top of her lungs, kissing, battling, dancing with these wild and primal urges older than you, older than her, darkness and light, beyond words and thoughts, the manly hunger within, to taste and own her from top to bottom, within and without, her magical beauty finally brought to justice by your own treasuring, loving strong hands.

You don’t. It isn’t a game she’s playing. She isn’t manipulating, fishing for compliments, or trying to trap you. Despite what the world has taught you, she has a rare, direct honesty in the way she interacts and a pure heart that most can’t recognize, let alone believe. Her insecurity only surfaces when she is trying to let someone in, don’t you understand? She feels so deeply… it has cost her greatly in her lifetime. It is easier, safer, and much more rational to default to doubt… it hurts less than trust. She won’t allow herself to believe most anything unless it is explicitly said as well as shown… and often repeated. Years of emotional neglect does that to a person. It doesn’t make her broken, but it does make her different. Her doubt isn’t about you. When you pull away, it will almost always be interpreted as rejection. It’s ok if you don’t want the responsibility, believe me, the woman understands completely, and while she doesn’t blame you, she also knows she’s worth it. The little girl though? It simply makes her sad, because she peeks out of hiding so seldom, and shows glimpses of her soul to so few. Like most treasures worth owning, she is obscured from casual sight; she requires being earnestly sought.

“Not one of you knows the difference between and violence.”
We were a sea of smiling faces nodding our heads in unison as she lectured us in the meeting room. We were in college, neck-deep in identity politics, and we were tearing down every “archy” we could get our hands-on. Men were predators, no meant no, and everything was a covenant or an act of aggression. I can do this, I thought to myself.
An hour later I was lost in thought as I sat on her bed and it was making sense! I was still unpacking everything when she climbed onto my lap and put a plastic cup of whisky to my lips.
“You couldn’t fuck me up the ass if you tried,” she purred into my ear. I was a mile away, but her skin and her breath brought me back.
I pushed her onto the bed without thought, and she kicked me as I tore at her shirt. She bit me and scratched me as we ripped each other’s clothes off like a bad romance. She pulled my hair as I wrapped a strong arm around her waist–holding her body to mine as I kissed her neck. Two fingers pinched a nipple between them until she screamed, and finally, she forced me onto my back.
She slapped me as I grabbed the flesh of her thigh-her hand stinging my cheek as my hold tightened. One hand slid down her back and over her curves as the other held her in place. I forced her thighs open with a knee and she bit me hard as I forced a finger inside her.
Seconds later she was beneath me and I was her with all the strength I had. She raked my back with nails she never cut, and she pushed me off her even as her hips drew me in. I held her down and thrust inside her, stealing her breath with my mouth and pinning her arms to the bed.
Less than thirty minutes later we lay exhausted and panting as we wondered just how many bruises we’d find in the morning. She held my hand gently and when she caught her breath she asked me how the lecture went.
“She told us we didn’t know the difference between and violence.”
She straddled me without a word and looked down at me. She scratched my chest with her claws and out of nowhere she slapped me hard across the face.
“In case you were wondering,” she whispered between breaths, “that was .”

I know what’s going on inside me. The way my pulse flutters and my breath hitches from your nearness. I feel my mind quiet and my body open. In my mind, I imagine you can almost taste my need in the air. A touch of trepidation but mostly fervent arousal.
But this… goodness it does something to me. It captures something I crave - what I imagine most women do - his reaction to being close. I think perhaps too few men understand how much we need this.

I Tried "Weed Lube" and Oh My God, Yes

* I'm Re-Posting This Post Because Marijuana Laws Will Be Changing For A Lot Of States Across The Country ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not into smoking weed, but my vagina is all about some THC. Disclaimer: I live in the state of California, where the purchase and use of Foria Pleasure, a "sensual enhancement" product made of cannabis oil and liquid coconut oil meant for your nether regions, is legal. It's basically weed lube, and it's glorious.
The company says that Foria Pleasure "brings the power of ancient plant medicine to your fingertips," and let me tell you — there's certainly something powerful going on here. While technically not a traditional lubricant for all intents and purposes — it's more of a "pre-lubricant" — the topical oil taught me what "mind-blowing" really means — and I will never use the phrase so lightly again. While the application of the spray resulted in arousal almost immediately, the greatest (seriously, greatest) effect it had was on the intensity and length of my orgasm(s). I literally was laughing incredulously the first time I climaxed, and I'm pretty sure things like "what the actual f*ck?" and "holy sh*t is this still happening?" came out of my mouth. Here's the lowdown (literally) on how Foria works — read on to see if it's for you.
How It Works The instructions suggest you apply four to eight sprays directly onto the clitoris, inner and outer labia, and inside the vagina, adding that "internal application provides the highest absorption," which I found to be true in my own experiences. Fiora works the way it does because the skin of the vulva and vagina are sensitive and highly absorbent. I've experimented with various amounts and haven't found a huge variation in terms of sensation, except that closer to eight sprays with internal application seemed to really do the trick. Really.
Each time I've applied Foria, I've noticed almost immediate effects, but they begin more externally/on the surface and then progress to a deeper, more internal sensation. Because it can take between 15 minutes and an hour to get the full effect of Foria, I suggest applying it, then taking part in lengthy foreplay while enjoying the feeling as it blooms. It's described as a "pre-lubricant" because its purpose is to enhance pleasure, not lubricate the vagina. "Weed lube" is a loose term, mainly because it's applied to, and inside of, the vagina like regular lubricants.
What It Feels Like My biggest concern about taking Foria was my fear that I would feel high in the traditional sense. I deal with extreme anxiety and have found that smoking or ingesting marijuana (particularly Sativa) can cause actual panic attacks. It's something I avoid entirely because getting stoned isn't worth the risk of inducing my anxiety, something I work tirelessly to keep at bay. Luckily, Foria doesn't work that way, and I didn't feel anxious at all — quite the opposite, actually.
Some reviewers on the site noted their own struggles with pain during sex and difficulties achieving orgasm for years, and they finally found pleasure with Foria. Again, every experience is different, but after using Foria, I am inclined to believe their anecdotes.
One reviewer put it like this: "Fact — you WILL get a little horny and turned on! Fact — you WILL feel stimulation in HD . . . it's the only way to explain it! Fact — you WILL orgasm deeper than you ever have," which pretty much sums up my experience with it. The sensation and sensitivity of all aspects of sex are heightened and, for me, improved.
Each time I've used it, it almost feels like everything goes warm and tingly down there, and when touched, it's actually so sensitive it almost tickles — in a good way, of course. Foria doesn't necessarily bring you to an orgasm faster (although for some, it can, since it can increase arousal), but it's the grand finale where you really feel major the results. Climaxes are deeper and way more intense than anything I've ever experienced. They feel all-consuming! Orgasms also can go on for longer; it can feel like it's going to last forever, and if anything is going to be eternal, I think we can all agree that an orgasm would be our top pick.
Health and Wellness While the oil hasn't been evaluated by the FDA, the company says that safety and purity is "of paramount importance." "Our cannabis oil is extracted using leading-edge solvent-free pharmaceutical grade processes that provide extracts in their purest possible form," the site says. To ensure the cleanest and safest final product, the company tests Foria at multiple stages; it tests for potency, pesticides, residual solvents, and microbial. The products undergo something called a "hot-fill" bottling process, allowing Foria to produce a "microbial-free product without the use of artificial preservatives," the site says. The bottom line is that Foria is natural, and the product is made up of two very basic components: cannabis oil and coconut oil. As with any product, you should always use at your own risk and consult your healthcare provider, because plant medicine, like any other kind of medicine, works differently with different bodies.
Experts Have Some Very Good News About How Weed Affects Your Sex Drive
To be clear, Foria isn't a product designed to get you high the way that smoking or ingesting cannabis would; it is a topical "pre-lubricant" meant to be sprayed, then absorbed. It is not latex-safe and not recommended for use with latex condoms. While I enjoyed all of my experiences, everyone is different, and it may not be for everyone. It's currently only available in states where marijuana is legalized.
Beyond Pleasure Foria turned me on, it spiced up sex with my partner, and it gave me some of the best orgasms of my life. But it goes beyond that. A sexual enhancement product for women is empowering; it places the focus of pleasure and completion on women and those with vaginas. It's something we can enjoy alone or with a partner, and it is a novelty in that its central purpose is to optimize the female sexual experience. Bottom line? I'll be using it again. And again.

It's coming through a hole in the air From those nights in Tiananmen Square It's coming from the feel That it ain't exactly real Or it's real, but it ain't exactly there From the war against disorder From the sirens night and day From the fires of the homeless From the ashes of the gay Democracy is coming to the U.S.A
It's coming through a crack in the wall On a visionary flood of alcohol From the staggering account Of the Sermon on the Mount Which I don't pretend to understand at all It's coming from the silence On the dock of the bay From the brave, the bold, the battered Heart of Chevrolet Democracy is coming to the U.S.A
It's coming from the sorrow in the street The holy places where the races meet From the homicidal bitchin' That goes down in every kitchen To determine who will serve and who will eat From the wells of disappointment Where the women kneel to pray For the grace of God in the desert here And the desert far away Democracy is coming to the U.S.A
Sail on, sail on O mighty ship of state! To the shores of need Past the reefs of greed Through the squalls of hate Sail on, sail on, sail on...
It's coming to America first The cradle of the best and of the worst It's here they got the range And the machinery for change And it's here they got the spiritual thirst It's here the family's broken And it's here the lonely say That the heart has got to open In a fundamental way Democracy is coming to the U.S.A
It's coming from the women and the men Oh, baby, we'll be making love again We'll be going down so deep The river's going to weep And the mountain's going to shout Amen! It's coming like the tidal flood Beneath the lunar sway Imperial, mysterious In amorous array Democracy is coming to the U.S.A
Sail on, sail on O mighty ship of state! To the shores of need Past the reefs of greed Through the squalls of hate Sail on, sail on, sail on...
I'm sentimental if you know what I mean I love the country but I can't stand the scene And I'm neither left or right I'm just staying home tonight Getting lost in that hopeless little screen But I'm stubborn as those garbage bags That time cannot decay I'm junk but I'm still holding up This little wild bouquet Democracy is coming to the U.S.A

Hopeless romantic. But your assumptions of me are probably only half true. Not just whimsical and gushy, but jagged and dark. Holding hands while growling filth in your ear kinda love. Flowers sent to your work with a note outlining how I intend on fucking you relentlessly when you get home. Giving you both a safe place to share your fears and tender bruises you feel every time you shift in your seat. That kind of hopeless romantic.

Rules for Meeting Strangers
|
Posted:Nov 6, 2020 4:07 am
Last Updated:Sep 9, 2023 10:46 am 7760 Views

by Jack Rinella
If we'd only practice the common-sense rules that our grandmothers should have taught us before we crossed the street by ourselves for the first time, I might not have to be writing this column, but the sad fact is that either grandma was absent or derelict or we weren't listening or are senile.
Just because it's sex doesn't mean that one can dispense with reason or with manners, even if there are a number of unscrupulous would-be tops and bottoms out there. In any case, here's what you should have learned before they let you leave kindergarten.
1. You're peers until you make a commitment. I don't care how much of a slave you want to be, you and your prospective partners are equals in every sense of the word. He or she has no control over your actions until you have made a rational decision to give him or her control. If they insist on an action you have every right to say "No." If they assert authority, either from the top or the bottom, you have every right to reject it. Prior to commitment, neither of you is top or bottom. The top and bottom have to do with sex, not with negotiation.
2. Ask for references. I mean it. Tell your prospect you want names and of people whom you can call to verify his or her play-worthiness. If a stranger has no references, he's too strange to play with.
3. Safe, sane, and consensual is a mutual obligation. I once went home from a scene with a left wrist that was numb and it stayed numb for several days. In a macho moment, I failed to tell the top that the handcuffs he had put on me were constricting the flow of blood to my hands. One might say that he should have checked but I was just as much at fault for not making him aware of the situation.
If one partner attempts to have unsafe sex, for instance, the other, even if he is as lavish as they come, has the right, even the responsibility, to refuse to participate. This idea will be found in several rules lower as well.
4. You have a right to know some things. You're going to be spending time with this person and, if things work out, entering into a long term relationship, even if it is only as friends. The amount of information allowed is based on the level of negotiations. Early on, you need less information. Later, as you come closer to the meeting, more is appropriate. Sometime before moving in, a lot of information, and I mean a lot, is perfectly acceptable.
So early on, you ought to know the person's name and phone number. If they withhold such details, end the conversation, or at least make it clear that you will never meet. People who hide their identities are doing it for reasons that make meeting them un-wise.
I know there are lots of folks out there cheating on their significant others or so far in the closet that they're behind the back wall. I'm not for outing others but I am for honesty. Face it, those who can't even tell you their name and give you a phone number where you can reach them have some very serious issues that ought to be resolved before you meet.
Once you get past the name, topics such as health and limits become important, especially if you ever want to get into a sexual encounter.
Really though, limits are limits and as such aren't anywhere near as important as the trust factor. After all, setting limits has no meaning whatsoever if you can't trust that the person will stay within those limits. Just because a person says they're "safe, sane, and consensual" (SSC) is no reason to think that they are. Getting to know them as a person is a much better indication of how trustworthy they are.
If they say they're SSC, ask them what it means. How well they explain themselves will tell you a great deal.
If, after you get past the easy questions, you think that the conversation is going someplace, you ought to begin thinking about the hard questions. Information about family ties, income, career, and the future, both long-term and near, is important if this is going to be more than just a one night or weekend encounter.
I will agree that you don't need to see a person's personal balance sheet before you have sex with them, but you certainly should have some idea of what it looks like before you, as a slave, turn your assets over to them or, as a master, you take responsibility for their livelihood. I hope my point is made.
5. No commitment is immutable. This is the hard one. Once upon a time (or so we think) people made commitments "until death do we part." Any genealogist will tell you, though, that those commitments were ended much more often and a lot sooner than any preacher on the far-Right is about to admit. Sure there were fewer divorces 100 years ago, but there were a great many more marriages ended by early death or straight out desertion.
People change. People will always change. As each of us changes we need to be conscious of our need to redefine our relationships inappropriate terms. I would like to emphasize that those changes can be for the better.
I'm writing this "rule" mostly for those who think that what they promised in the blush of early infatuation will hold forever. It won't, since it may no longer be appropriate two or three years later. Slaves who think they have no choice once they become a "slave" are sadly mistaken. Every morning each of us decides how we will live that day. A slave isn't a slave in the strict sense of the term. He or she is in a condition of voluntary servitude. No amount of will exercised by either party in such a relationship can ever eliminate the voluntary part of the relationship.
6. You have a right to equality of information. What that stranger asks you, you have every right to ask him. It's the power freaks of the world who want to control you by keeping you in the dark. I'll grant you that there are many people and institutions that are run by the mushroom model of management (Keep them in the dark and feed them shit.) but that is no way to conduct a relationship.
7. You cannot abrogate your personal responsibilities. I don't care how submissive you are. The preceding sentence is always true and it applies to both tops and bottoms. Just because a top or bottom says it's all right doesn't make it so.
8. Neutral spaces are always acceptable. Let that first meeting with a stranger be well protected by a public venue. Meet for coffee at Starbucks. Buy him or her a drink at a local bar. Parks, libraries, and shopping malls are all places to meet, greet, and size each other up.
You know, if this relationship is going to go anywhere, you don't have to rush into it. Take your time, go easy, and have fun. After all, it's OK to talk to strangers, even to take candy from them. Just use some common sense when you do.
