I’m a little late to start a oh twelve blog, but better late than never. If I write everyday, this can only aid in my song writing I hope. I have started to compose a short story of sorts inspired by my Craigslist endeavors a few years ago in New York. Putting these partially private memories to words inspired me to disclose some of my current, less than conventional activities. I have never really been very good about keeping secrets about myself to myself. One I held on to for a long time was how a childhood friend taught me to masturbate when we were 8 years old. Not touching ourselves or each other, but by humping pillows with a rolled up sock placed in our underwear to create the proper friction a soft pillow cant do. I in turn showed this to another female friend of mine, except I thought we should try to rub against each other instead. I’ll never know if it would have been possible for us to get off cause her older sister walked in on us totally freaked out. I’m pretty sure she never told our parents.
Now that that’s off my chest there will be nothing too embarrassing to post here. I’m pretty slutty. But in a good way, cause I recognize and love it about myself. I used to wonder if really I was secretly hurting myself cause I have suffered self inflicted pain in the past. But I’m over those thoughts. It feels healthy. My standards are high. I have had too many failed relationships (3) and great stringless sex to not have faith in this being a totally acceptable path for me to take. I have also been fascinated with polyamory since it’s introduction to me a few years ago by a lovely California lady I met on the subway platform. She lent me “The Ethical Slut” as a means to opening my mind to the existence of a type of relationship she already sensed my brain was set up for. Maybe it’s because I didn’t have the best examples of traditional relationships growing up or maybe it’s “nature” and “Baby, I was born this way”. Whatever circumstances led me to having full faith in the possibility of a healthy functional open relationship, I am far from mad at them. I know that it feels right, but I also know I don’t know enough to preach or teach. I do, however, live in probably the best city to learn and experience more of the poly world. And I wanna share the information and stories with YOU!
Lemme catch you up to my current line up of boyfriends (fake names of course):
I met James at my place of work. He’s the most recent hook up. I waited on him once and instantly felt the tension. I could tell we were kind of flirting but I didn’t really know what to do about it, how long he had been a customer and if it was ok to want to sleep with him. Next time he came in he was already tipsy and easier to make some headway with. The flirtations were heavier and innuendoes were thrown. So, I invited him to join us at my co worker and recent neighbor’s house party that night. But first he wanted to show me his new place. Half a block from the bar I work at. Should have been a warning I’m sure to be super careful, cause if it turned out badly I would have a hell of a time avoiding him. But I drown smart stuff like that out, spontaneity is much more fun. It was the first time he stepped foot into this new place so his room was totally bare. I didn’t find out till late in the evening that he was currently residing in Oakland and planed to crash on his hard wood floor. This would prove to be a very convenient reason for him to come home with me later instead. He showed off the super sweet back yard and kissed me under a tree. He asked if I had a boyfriend, I told him a had a few. He didn’t have much to say then, but I sensed he was not keen on sharing. I have made a vow to not gloss over this bit of info anymore. I want it to be clear I am not looking for a monogamous relationship right off the bat. The party was fun. We got trashed and stumbled (literally, he was incapable of walking in a strait line) back up to my residence on the hill top. He dropped many hints through out the night that maybe he was kinda crazy, but not crazy enough for me to really be scared. And maybe crazy equated to a fun lay. He told me he loved me on the walk which cause me to resist jumping right into bed, but I have a hard time saying no to receiving oral sex. Something I have come to realize west coast men LOVE to do. Not ONE of my sexual partners in New York ever just dove right in the way almost all of the men here do. Anyway, he told me he loved me again during the act and I had to shove him off and force sleep time. Sex in the morning was nice and we didn’t talk about the “L” bomb. With the loss of his cell phone the previous night there was no awkward obligation to stay in immediate touch which I appreciated very much. He stopped in to the bar a little over a week later to announce he was all moved in and respected the bar and myself and needed that to be clear. I dunno if/when I will hang with him again. Maybe if I’m desperate for a decent fuck, but I’m hardly ever in short supply of boys.
I have been on one date with Miles. We met on OK Cupid. He has a serious girlfriend he loves very much and they practice the rules of an open relationship. He’s intelligent and tall and has great hands, which I hold in very high regard. Our texts to each other are clearly given significant thought and never fall short of clever. I like playing with words almost as much as I enjoy playing with people. More on him after our second date.
Johnny and I went out several times. He is very well endowed and looks like a caricature. He rocks Buddy Holly glasses and vintage letterman jackets. He handmakes toddler clothing that Diplo adorns his little ones with. He gives amazing kisses. He’s vegan and has happily let me feed him twice. I haven’t been making as much time for him unfortunately, I really like being around him and maybe that scares me.
I have a serious crush on Jackson. Just thinking about him makes me wet. Never mind when he is in my immediate vicinity. It started months ago with eye fucking, every god damned time I glanced in his direction our stares locked. I have maybe said a total of 40 words to him, but our eyes have said so much more. If I ever grow the balls to ask him out, you’ll be the first to know!
Billy is a lover from my past. He lives in LA and I haven’t seen him in over a year. Mid February this will no longer be a true fact and I am over the moon with anticipation! He is currently lined up to impregnate me when I decide I am ready to procreate and find myself with out without a willing partner. No stress, this is at least five years off.
Then there’s the pile of boy’s waiting for their first date with me, and of course those I have yet to meet. Ideally, one or more of these casual encounters will become something more serious. I am interested in relationships, not just getting my rocks off. I do have really awesome friends though, so it will take some effort to impress me. As I type this, I just received a text from an SF friend inviting me to a private Poly club tonight. I work, but it goes till 3am. Sounds like it could be an orgy? Which is totally on my bucket list. Unfortunately, I also work at 9am tomorrow and I refuse to risk being hung over or late, but it’s tempting indeed.
