Your rituals

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Do you have any daily/weekly rituals that you've gotta do to help you relax, or work, or whatever?

I have a weekly one and a daily one. My daily one is, when I get back from work at about half 5, I always have one of my many soups, and cut about 3 slices of bread from my unsliced loaf. Rip and dip, yum yum!

I only ever have a curry once a week. But when I do (Tandoori Tikka Masala), the moment when I take my first sip of me ice-cold beer afterwards.. oomf, heaven.

I like food too much.

[HornyPope]

No rituals, but I love food. It's one of the pleasures I allow myself to indulge in.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Agreed. Food and alcohol are my two guilty pleasures, but I just adore them both. As far as alcohol goes, I don't like getting drunk at all - but as I say, the taste of an ice cold beer after a curry or on a warm evening or whatnot.. fabulous.

[Sunny]

hm.

many of my rituals are food related as well. mens and i go out for brunch pretty much every sunday, unless we have previous engagements. and i usually get the same thing every time (eggs benedict, two pancakes and a bellini). fatty=yes.

i have a grapefruit every morning. for some reason it perks me up.

any time we go shopping in soho together, i get a coffee at starbucks, medium plain frozen yogurt with granola, and sometimes rice pudding. mens gets an eclair creampuff. o hai diabetes!

my current nighttime ritual involves a long-ass bath, facial massage, a cup of chai tea with milk and a vaporizer hit.

i'm not a fatass with a drug problem, i swear!

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Well Sunny, I don't think many people get put into rehab for Chai tea addiction. =P

[T-6005]

Every week or so I leave the house without bothering to tell anyone where I'm going, or even that I'm going out and I head to A&W.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

I'm a little out of the loop. What's A&W?

[HornyPope]

Agreed. Food and alcohol are my two guilty pleasures, but I just adore them both. As far as alcohol goes, I don't like getting drunk at all - but as I say, the taste of an ice cold beer after a curry or on a warm evening or whatnot.. fabulous.

I like the taste, but beer on its own does nothing for me unless you're popping a cold one on the beach. When I drink, I want to get drunk.

[nieh]

It's a brand name for root beer and cream soda and stuff like that, but it's also kind of a small fast food chain that does burgers and hot dogs and stuff. I was amazed the first time I saw one of their restaurants a couple years ago, I thought they only made soda.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

I like the taste, but beer on its own does nothing for me unless you're popping a cold one on the beach. When I drink, I want to get drunk.

Each to their own, I'm sometimes the same. But beer for me is terrible to get drunk on - it's too cold, gives you enough gas to power East Anglia for a year or two, and makes everything taste bad for days afterwards, if you drink too much. Gief spirits for drunk drinking.

[HornyPope]

Mind you, I'm driving too so I have to be at least sober enough to walk to the car. Sure, this concentrating business takes out a little bit of my fun but what else you're gonna do?

[Sunny]

A&W is amazing. omg. i only went there a few times when i was in Cape Cod, but it was magical. root beer float in a frosty mug (the frosty mug is ESSENTIAL) and fried cheese curds after a day at the beach... HEAVEN.

i'm totally getting a smell flashback... sand, sunscreen, and root beer. <3

[HornyPope]

I don't mind the cold or the gas. Others might, but I don't. The taste afterwards is shitty, I agree, but I only remember that after I drank...

My top choice is vodka, naturally. Serve before, during and after a steak meal.. mmm... roasted beef on fire.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Guinness is the ultimate with-steak drink. Especially when cooked medium-well done.

The steak, obviously, not the Guinness.

[Sunny]

red wine is THE steak drink! duh!

guiness to me is like a meal in itself. hah.

[HornyPope]

You can't get Guinness outside of pubs though. Well, you can but they're lame. I was talking about good times on a lake.
Hey Magsie, make sure you come in the summer, we'll go skinny dipping. Weeee.

[Sunny]

been there, done that (actually, no, but i did swim in lake memphremagog in my underwears!).

...creep.

[HornyPope]

We'll get you pumped with red wine before and everything is gonna be aaaaall right.

[nieh]

fried cheese curds

That sounds gross but it probably isn't. I checked the website, it doesn't sound that different from mozzerella sticks except that it's white cheddar instead of mozzerella and isn't in stick form.

[Sunny]

yeah, exactly. it sounds nasty - like some sort of a curdled cottage cheese monstrosity - but it's to die for.

[IamSam]

My rituals would have to be showering as soon as I get up in the morning, brushing my teeth after every meal, and looking ridiculously good looking.

[killer_queen]

This isn't exactly a ritual actually because it hasn't been very long since I had started to do it but almost every week I go to cinema alone. Which is a big deal for me since I'm used to do almost everything with someone else. I'm not a huge cinema lover but it's the only place where I can feel really alone. You know, you turn off your cell phone, there is no one to bother you and it's nice, it makes me feel isolated. I regret that I haven't done it earlier.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

I used to do that with cafe's and my writing. I'd take my laptop along to a cafe, spark up a ciggie (you could smoke in cafe's in those days), and spend as little as one hour or as much as 6 hours just writing. Was great to be isolated.

[killer_queen]

I tried that before but it seems like, in our culture, if you see a girl sitting alone in a café you can be sure that she's there to meet boys. They didn't leave me alone for ten minutes. Normally, I would be flattered when something like that happens but I was totally, ugh, disgusted then.

[Jakebert]

I sacrifice children to the volcano in order to have a good harvest.

[0r4ng3]

I sacrifice children to the volcano in order to have a good harvest.
That's a win-win right there. Even if you don't have a good harvest, you still have a backup meal. Well done, no less.

[T-6005]

That's a win-win right there. Even if you don't have a good harvest, you still have a backup meal. Well done, no less.

Is that a red wine or a Guinness type of meal?

[Harnum]

A&W is amazing.
I am sooooo glad that you guys mentioned A&W. THE ROOTBEER! OMFGOMFGOM! I buy it in big 2L bottles and store them in my fridge in the basement. I LOVE making my own floats!

Oh, and the burgers at the restaurants are pretty awesome too!

[Nina]

Most of my rituals are hygiene-related.

My morning and going-to-bed rituals are always the same. But it would be boring to count them all on.

When I arrive at a new place (a hotelroom or someones place) I also always do the same things before I go to bed.
take clothing items off (nooo not all)
unpack (clothes, toiletries, valuables)
wash face
shower
brush teeth
pick clothes for the next day or whenever i want to get up again
pack handbag for same reason
sleep
never any other way. ever.

I figured, I could go on forever, so Ill just stop now.

[IamSam]

I sacrifice children to the volcano in order to have a good harvest.

Good. Children are horrible. They eat most of the world's supply of cookies.

[Cock Joke]

Nobody referenced The Offspring here? "The ritual is just beginning."

I dunno.

My rituals include eating, watching TV, going on the Internet, jacking off, snoozing, eating dinner, doing homework, (for, like, maybe 10 mins.) jacking off, watching more TV, jacking off, watching even more TV, sleeping for the night, and jacking off.

[Andy]

0630 - wake up
between 0635 and 0715 I will (in this order):
shower, dry, brush teeth, get dressed, wax hair, iron uniform top, pack bag, put shoes on, get lift to train station for the,
0721 train
arrive at University Hospital Train Station at 0750
arrive in work at 0755, get changed in the male staff toilets (i don't like the generic changing rooms as they're always too full with ITU staff at that time in the morning and there's not enough room to swing a particularly small cat)
after that, i will get my first coffee of the day (3 tea spoons coffee, 1 sugar, little milk; all in my Aston Villa cup). Then I'll check emails and the bbc news website until 0830 when it's handover and I find out what I'm doing for the day.
Between 0830 and 1600 I cannot routine
1600 - get changed back into normal clothes
1615 - get train back home
1715 - arrive back in my house, get a can of diet coke, feed the dog, leave the back door open for him to go outside and head upstairs. Turn computer on, turn TV on. Sit and do nothing but watch TV/DVDs and play football manager/DS with randomly spaced posts on here until around 0100 when I will think about going to bed and the routine all starts again.

Yup, that's pretty much my routine Tuesday to Thursday (on Mondays the after-work routine is replaced with arrive in Birmingham at 1630, go to pub, meet bassist at 1715, head to lock up for practice by 1800. Leave at 10, arrive home for 11. Eat/TV/PC, and on Fridays the after-work routine is similar to Tuesday to Thursday but I will head to the pub at 1930).

Yup, I'm disgracefully sad.

Oh, and weekends are pretty varied, but on a Saturday I will wake up at 11, watch Soccer Saturday on Sky Sports News from 1200-1800. Any other duties will revolve around this show.

[JoY]

my daily ritual is that I start every day with a glass of water & 2 methylfenidate. the rest of the day I know I will forget them, so if I at least start my day correctly, I feel like not too much can go wrong.

I take exactly one hour every day to get up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, smoke a cigarette, pack my things & go. the going-part always takes me the longest. if I don't take exactly one hour to do this, my day always turns out messy & chaotic.

another (almost) daily ritual is that almost every morning, if I have the time, I boil an egg 4,5-5 minutes, toast a sandwich, peel the egg & put the shells in an eggholder, put the egg as a whole on the sandwich & then carefully distribute the egg so it covers the fresh warm toast entirely.

in weekends, when my boyfriend & I have loads of time, I get up (late), put on my coat over my pj's, put on some shoes & walk out the door to buy us some fresh baked bread. he can't do it, because he would have to shower first & then put in his lenses, or he would bump into things & people on his way. most of the time I'll buy some fresh orange juice too & often I can't keep myself from buying an extra goody from the bakery, like fresh baked brownies, or a warm croissant. when I come back, he has done the dishes & boiled two eggs, then we eat breakfast in bed. he always eats his egg out of the eggholder, I always eat mine on toast.

I try to get to exercise with Pilates once-twice every week, in the morning, before having a shower, washing my hair & eating breakfast.

I wash my hair every two days. I wash it, twice, before washing the rest of myself with showergel. after washing the rest of me, I optionally wash my hair one more time with conditioner. after my shower, I comb the wet hair straight backwards, so it doesn't fall down flat on my head when it dries. it looks incredibly ugly, but it works.

I have to eat dinner around 7 pm, but lately I'm more flexible when it comes to this.

when the day is done & I'm getting ready for bed, I always first undress, put on my pj's, brush my teeth, go to the toilet, drink a glass of water, grab my cellphone to put it beside the bed, go to bed next to my boyfriend, wait for him to turn around to sleep & kiss his back untill he sleeps. then I turn around aswell & fall asleep.

[Sunny]

dude, if i were to list my boring-ass "washing self" rituals, i'd have to write a damn book. even my tooth-washing ritual is elaborate (brush, floss, brush, waterpik, cinnamon rinse). you guys are dull. ;]

bella, i like your morning food rituals! ;D

[ad8]

I have choclate muesli every day before going to school...

[Vera]

Aren't most of these more routines than rituals, though? I mean, okay, ritual can be defined as " any practice or pattern of behavior regularly performed in a set manner" as per dictionary.com but if *everything* you do in a set manner is described as a ritual, then the word sort of loses its meaning.

Like if a band does a soundcheck, goes over the setlist and relaxes before the gig, I'd call that a routine. But if they all share a bottle of beer between them, and gather into a ring to sort of get into the mood of doing a show, you could call that a ritual of sorts.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Yeah, it's not routines that I meant, really. It's that little dash of oddness that's very necessary in your day/week/whatever. I suppose traditions is a better word.

[Drafan]

I´m always looking forward to the next action with my friends, it helps me to live through the long time at work.
When I prepare for some longer trip or hike, I have got many futile items in my bag I´m not gonna use.

[mrconeman]

Honestly I can't think of any little quirky ones, the only thing I can think of is that I seriously, absolutely cannot function without heavily sugard cups of tea. Like at least 3 a day, I'm gunna get diabetes.

I always try to get a couple hours of guitar playing in each day, but thats more routine than ritual I suppose.

[ruroken]

I quit everything and stare at the television screen for half an hour every Saturday at 8pm. Everybody in the vicinity MUST BE QUIET or I'll scream at them to STFU.

[Duskygrin]

No ritual my end but every day I come home via metro there'll be a guy at my station, on his knees with joined hands always facing the same way, praying. I'm not sure how long his own ritual takes, but he seems self-absorbed and has half a smile hanging over his lips. A smile you could hang your coat on.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

I quit everything and stare at the television screen for half an hour every Saturday at 8pm. Everybody in the vicinity MUST BE QUIET or I'll scream at them to STFU.

*pat* please tell me the television's on, at least.

[Conspiracyof1000]

On weekdays (the hellish days when I am forced to go the prison named high school) I have to take a shower right after I get up or I can't function the rest of the day. It's like my coffee. Right after school I have to curl up in my bedroom and watch Family Guy, then at 10 I have to listen to Loveline. Can't break the cycle.
Weekends it's a lot less tight. Mostly I mill around and play my DS and come on here. Every Sunday, thought, I force myself to check up on my MySpace even though I hate it there.

[wheelchairman]

Loveline sucks so much. I pity anyone who takes anything they say, seriously.

[JoY]

dude, if i were to list my boring-ass "washing self" rituals, i'd have to write a damn book. even my tooth-washing ritual is elaborate (brush, floss, brush, waterpik, cinnamon rinse). you guys are dull. ;]

bella, i like your morning food rituals! ;D

the actual food, or the going out for breakfast in your pj's-part? ;p

[Sunny]

both, it's cute! i like your egg distribution thing, too. ;p

i love weekend breakfasts. they're seriously sacred to me, and i'm totally neurotic about the way i eat my eggs. :D

[Rag Doll]

i have to read celebrity gossip a little bit every week, preferably every day. it is just so mindless and shallow...and therefore, relaxing =p

i spend at least one morning a week just cuddling in bed with the boyfriend. we dont get to spend as much time together now, cause of work/school, but we try to have one morning where we don't have to get up early and we can just...be.

[JoY]

*nods* eggs are VERY importanto!

[riderofthestorm]

I have a few rituals.
I dont do breakfast, I munch on dried cornflakes from the box.
I drink alot of coke (bad for my teeth, I know) but only drink it with a lemon piece & then suck all the lemony-ness after.
I screw up paper & chew it when watching tv.
I put a scoop of mayo on the side of almost every meal.
I have to sleep curled, with a pillow in the curve of my tummy.

[wheelchairman]

I don't really have any rituals.

hmm every night I make a waterpipe to smoke while watching tv, or if I'm not interested in watching tv then when I go online or if I want to read something.

[Cock Joke]

My rituals include eating, watching TV, going on the Internet, jacking off, snoozing, eating dinner, doing homework, (for, like, maybe 10 mins.) jacking off, watching more TV, jacking off, watching even more TV, sleeping for the night, and jacking off.

Did I forget to mention jacking off?

[riderofthestorm]

Did I forget to mention jacking off?

I don't quite understand a man's obsession with jacking off, especially if they also have a lady on their arm
But I'm a woman. I guess I'll never know.

[Offspring-Junkie]

Life's hard, people are stupid. Don't bother about it.

[Sunny]

Did I forget to mention jacking off?

www.fleshlight.com

it's a worthwhile investment if you can't get a real woman to play with your bits.

[wheelchairman]

But I'm a woman. I guess I'll never know.

You don't understand why a person would like instant sexual gratification that is not only free, but easy and quick with no strings attached?

What are you, stupid?

[Sunny]

i get riderofthestorm's point. if a guy has a ladyfriend but prefers jacking off to fooling around with her, it's either that 1) she's really lousy in bed or 2) he's sexually dysfunctional.

masturbation is fun, but oh so fucking boring in comparison to.. the other available options.

[wheelchairman]

I don't see why they are mutually exclusive.

However jacking off is a lot easier. Only one person needs to cum.

[riderofthestorm]

I don't see why they are mutually exclusive.

However jacking off is a lot easier. Only one person needs to cum.

A woman doesn't always have to cum. It's still enjoyable without.
To say that jacking off is easier is just lazy & selfish, if you're in a couple.
But isn't it pleasureable to please a woman in bed (or wherever) anyway?

[Sunny]

I don't see why they are mutually exclusive.

eh, not all sexual acts need to be immediately reciprocated.

Of course it's lazy and selfish. That's part of it being easier.

Indeed but for a guy you can have sex every single day, and you will still find time to masturbate.

[Sunny]

that's probably true, but i'm willing to bet that if given the choice between a bj and a lone wank, most dudes would go for the former.

[riderofthestorm]

Indeed but for a guy you can have sex every single day, and you will still find time to masturbate.

But most men can't cum loads of times a day, unlike us women.
I've found, in the past, that if a man has a wank, he won't want sex as he's already squirted his load.


that's probably true, but i'm willing to bet that if given the choice between a bj and a lone wank, most dudes would go for the former.

I think we should find out what the dudes on here would rather!

[nieh]

Is that supposed to be an offer of some sort?

But yeah, Per and Sunny are both right. I jerk off a lot less frequently when I'm involved with someone, but that doesn't mean I stop it completely. It's never been a "do you want to jerk off, or do you want a bj?" situation, if I'm involved with someone I normally only jerk off if I don't expect to be doing anything else for a little while. Plus jerking off over random girls in a porn is a nice way to fight the hormonal urges that pop up now and then that can make it difficult to stick with one person for so long without cheating.

[wheelchairman]

that's probably true, but i'm willing to bet that if given the choice between a bj and a lone wank, most dudes would go for the former.
Well naturally, but that entails some reciprocity at some point, even if it's not required. Which of course is not really a problem, there's just one string attached, one which masturbation doesn't have. But it seems like you're making wanking into a replacement of coupled-sexual activities. I think most guys would see it as an addendum. Something done afterwards.

Nah that's a load of crap. A guy is ready to go in the next 15 min, maybe 30 max. That goes for all guys, even the ones who come in like 15 seconds.

[Sunny]

i'm not saying it's a replacement. i dunno, maybe i'm weird. i only ever masturbate when i'm home alone and know i won't be getting any in the next few hours. otherwise, it's unthinkable to me to like.. run off to the bathroom to whack it if there's a live person there and all it usually takes is tapping them on the shoulder. or you could still jerk off yourself, but... put on a bit of a show for the other person (one would hope they enjoy seeing you playing with your bits and pieces, no?)

josh is right about jerking off to porn, though, seeing as it's a different experience. and for those of us who are attracted to both genders, it definitely fulfills the need to an extent.

i guess i just don't get dudes who wait until the missus is asleep to fulfill their sexual needs. it's a bummer to even think about.

[wheelchairman]

And I don't get why it bothers you. It really actually has nothing to do with you (if your significant other were to partake in such an activity hypothetically.)

It's simply a matter of, if you've gone to bed, and he were about to go to bed, should he squeeze one out or not? Well there really is no good reason not to. It's very normal.

[Sunny]

it's not that it bothers me personally, but i guess i have a different concept of a close sexual relationship than other people. don't get me wrong, it's not like "you can't whack off EVER" or "masturbation is WRONG". of course it's fine and natural and awesome. i just don't feel the need to keep it a private or secretive affair that happens after the other person goes to sleep, and i'm glad my other half doesn't either. it would weird me out. i much prefer the idea of sharing all sexual experiences, including those primarily autoerotic in nature. clearly, some people might need solitude to watch porn or masturbate. i don't, and i'm pretty happy i'm not alone in this.

This is exactly what I don't understand. But, I suppose men & women are built differently & have different views on masterbation/sex.

But, still. It's not all that nice for a woman to notice that her other half is whacking off in the bathroom when she's right there. But I guess he wouldn't understand why she's upset..

I don't think it's any secret in relationships where the boyfriend masturbates, that he does masturbate. Perhaps it's just New Yorkers, but that is weird if they keep it all secret.

I personally would just find it rather tedious to approach my girlfriend everytime I wanted a quick wank. But if it works out for you guys, the more power to you.

[Rag Doll]

I guess I'm pretty similar to Sunnies. I do it if I won't get it in the next few hours and he isn't home or for the mens to watch and enjoy. And apparently, my mens barely does it at all because we have sex so often he doesn't really feel the need to. If he were in the mood though...I'd much rather him make it an "us" event before a "him" event. Rather than go in the bathroom, see if I want it (which is basically always a yes)...and if I'm sleeping, dude, wake me up. I'm totally up for it. But I dunno, I guess that's just us. We're very big on sex and very big on sharing sexual activities with each other...

see? i'm not alone. must be a tristate area thing, per =p

i'm totally for making these things a family affair (now that sounds wrong...) i guess i find it more tedious to do it all alone, as does he. in his words, "it's boring". and myself, and this is even more TMI than the rest, masturbation takes too freaking long, because it's so... predictable.

i dunno. sharing is caring. and i feel like sexual openness to the max really helps with keeping things interesting. to me, there would be no fun in it if he just decided "not to bother me".

[wheelchairman]

I guess we view masturbation differently then. Of course it's boring in comparison to sex. Would never argue that. And frequent sex is obviously preferable. But I find masturbation tides a person over, even if it is just until morning. And most people I talk to as well.

Speaking of tmi:

This sounds like every post Sam has made for the past year. :p

[Tizzalicious]

I have an apple and coffee for breakfast every morning. I just have to, or else things aren't right. Then the rest of my meals and snacks are all at set times too. Probably because I'd keep eating all day if I didn't.

I always check my mail/shop/forums when I am having my breakfast and err...usually keep doing that half of the day.

[JoY]

thank god you've brought it back to this topic, Tizzster.<3

[Tizzalicious]

Yeah, I figured Per should do his masturbating talk when I'm not around ;)

[Davo]

Do you have any daily/weekly rituals that you've gotta do to help you relax, or work, or whatever?

I have a lot of rituals eg I make very useful threads.

[TheUnholyNightbringer]

Davo, go away.

[Cock Joke]

This thread is now about masturbation. STAY ON TOPIC!!! :rolleyes:

[Sunny]

masturbation qualifies as a ritual, no? i understand how some people could be freaked out by TMI-tastic discussions of sexuality, but it wasn't "off topic" so to speak.

*shrugs*

[irishpunkrockgirl]

A cup of tea every morning.

[wheelchairman]

Masturbation is a regular activity for everybody.

Even your local congressman masturbates regularly.

And that's the grossest thought ever.

[Offspring-Junkie]

Congressman? Yuk! Can't we talk 'bout (female) Top Models?

[ruroken]

*pat* please tell me the television's on, at least.
Hahaha, of course! How else would I see the newest episodes of iCarly?

[Vikica]

5:30 waking up
5:35 opening my eyes
5:37 trying real bad to figure out if I'm awake or am I still sleeping
5:37-5:40 trying to fall asleep
5:41 sitting on the edge of the bed swearing 'cause I haven't prepared my books for school and swearing some more if there's a test that I have forgotten of
and that happens when the school's in the morning but when I'm the afternoon shift I get all the sleep I need :D

every day I walk from the main city square to my school trying to walk slower so I wouldn't get to school to soon and to see also the changes in the city I love. say im romantic but hell I love Zagreb and I think anyone who has ever been here loves it too.

and when I need some time on my own I take a long walk in the fields behind my house or I take a walk in the old part of the city. it's nice to live in the further suburb, you have enough space and fresh air and you're on the main city square in an hour. :D

there are also small rituals I have with my best friend. every time we meet we have pancakes and a soccer talk. or we go on a concert and he never complains 'cause he knows I'll be the one helping him with his concert report for the music class while he'll be talking about some sport or problems with his girlfriend. a bit cruel from my side...

oh yeah, I've got a habbit of reading two or more books in the same time. :o

Another reason for guy's to masturbate (http://news.yahoo.com/s/po/20080421/co_po/masturbationmaypreventprostatecancer;_ylt=AvVYfEmx H63WXv8zS5t2Igus0NUE).

I thought that was common knowledge for years.

I don't know if it's the transition to Spring or what, but I've been wanting to masturbate three times a day now! Normally it's once, sometimes twice every now and then in a blue moon, but holy crap!

Coffee and milk with two pieces of toast in the morning is something I cannot live without. Not having toast is pretty okay, but no coffee in the morning makes me cranky the whole day. Guess that's my only ritual related to food.

But something I think is not a ritual but a desease is that I CANNOT go to bed without taking a shower. It doesn't matter the time. I have to. I can go to a party and come back home 4 am, I have to shower myself before getting into my PJ's. even if I took a shower before going out.

Am I sick?

this topic is so cute but it makes me feel really inconsistent. I don't eat one thing in particular every morning. hm. but I do dance to the morning funk show in my underwear for like half an hour, leaving like 5 minutes to get ready work deeyomittttt.

on mondays and wednesdays between classes I always get a diablo shrimp burrito and go scope out berkeley library quarter book rack. my gigantic bookshelf is overflowing. addiction aint ficiton.

when go home to visit mi mama I always make her a cup of tea and some toast and sunbathe on her deck until she wakes up.

every full moon I go frolic in the ocean on my favorite beach in the buff.



I don't masturbate unless I'm in the bathtub or can't sleep. it's more of a boredom thing than anything. I go through long asexual spells.

[nieh]

So, where exactly is your favorite beach if you don't mind me asking?
