For reasons that are too boring to go into, we have changed to a different blogger account for this blog.

So a heads up to anyone who enjoys our words and pictures:

Why I'm a Misguided Young Man (by 1917 standards)

From "Sex-hygiene: a talk to college boys"
Published 1917

MASTURBATION

It is painful to be obliged to speak of a practice, regrettably common among misguided young men, who, for the sake of the pleasurable sensations experienced, artificially arouse their generative organs to the acme of activity. This is variously known as self-abuse, self-pollution, masturbation, and onanism. To a normal mind this habit is so grossly offensive as to excite intense disgust. From the hygienic point of view it is at best a reckless and unjustifiable waste of precious energy; at worst, it may cause physical and mental wreck. On this matter, however, it is very important that I be not misunderstood. It is undoubtedly true that the habit may continue years without producing noticeable deterioration of health; but, even in these cases of apparent exemption from serious consequences, there is likely to be established such a perversion of the generative nature as to unfit the sufferer for the sexual functions that should find their fullest and most valuable expression in the relations of the marital state. He, who delights himself by plucking all the blossoms from his tree, should not expect the pleasures that atted the gathering of fruit. In general, the health is not ruined, as is alleged in the quack advertisements that deface and disgrace some journals that are allowed to enter our homes, but the fact remains that the practice is low, filthy, bestial, and degrading.

Whatever may be said in depreciation of self-pollution, it immediately injures only the person who practices it, and by so much is less evil than a method of sensual gratification that involves another. That is far from excusing it - it is merely equivalent to saying that one who squanders what is his own, does less harm that on who robs another of his fortune, which he can never replace. The solitary vice, being vice, is bad; but the social evil is vastly more vicious.

He's Got A Soft Spot for Sexy Burlesque

No strip clubs for me. I long for the days of yore when a show was a show. (Did I just say yore?) I've only been to a few strip clubs in my day and I guess the stripping took place backstage. Not to complain about naked beauties too much, but I'd like to be able to bring my imagination with me for the event.

That's where burlesque comes in. Burlesque delivers me no guarantees of nakedness. What it does guarantee is my money's worth. The accompanying music is carefully selected, the outfits are chosen with every sexy detail regarded and the emphasis is on the dance. Burlesque gives me art with my excitement. There's a local act that I've yet to see but long for the opportunity.

Today's New York Times featured a story on artist Julie Atlas Muz. I'd never heard of her before and was happy to check out her site. On the link below, you'll see a page link to a video of one of her sexy shows. The part at the end with her silhouette behind a large white sheet gives me ideas for a future HNT with my beautiful wife. Sounds like a fun challenge.

So, I've been thinking.......

I've been thinking about doing some writing. This would surprise most people I know including my husband. LOL I have read some erotica recently and it has me thinking of sharing my own. I've had stories running around inside my head for a long time and have even written some(years ago). This is going to surprise the "him" half of this duo the most. I've never shared these stories with anyone before and I'm a little hesitant to share them now. I guess it's because writing is so very personal and putting it out there just invites criticism. I'm not sure I'm ready for that. So we will see where this thought goes.
