What turns you on??

For me, there are just soooooo many things. I'm really interested in hearing what turns YOU on.
Let's see if I can limit my list it to just a few.
For those of you who follow my blog, you've heard me say many many times that I'm turned on by the simple act of unzipping my lovers pants. Undoing his belt, unhooking his pants button, slowing reaching inside, parting his underwear, reaching for his cock and pulling it out. It's the whole anticipation thing coupled with the 'unknown', especially with a new lover. Will it be big, small, hard soft, cut, uncut etc.
Our minds play incredible tricks with our libido and our erotic centers. Mine thrills at the unknown, every time. The anticipation can drive me absolutely wild.
I also get a major turn on kissing my lover. I've always been a kisser and I'm obviously, a very orally fixated type of guy. I love to feeling and the passion of a good kiss. The excitement it lends to a love making session is truly missed, by me, when it's not there. There are a number of guys I've been with, who do not like to kiss. I used to be one of them. (At least guys) but I've 'seen the light' and really enjoy it.
Legs and feet are just as much a turn on to me as a good hard cock is. (Sorry fellas, womens legs/feet only at this point, but I'm working onm it) I love the summer time when everyone is walking around in shorts and sandals. There's almost nothing that can turn me on faster than seeing a perfectly shaped pair of legs attached to a wonderfully formed/kept pair of feet. I like my feet kind of thin (Not too thin or boney though), with high arches and long toes. Perfectly manicured of course. I almost cum whenver I've sitting at my local Starbucks in the morning and the girls are all sitting around and dangling their perfect little peds all over the place. Man, it's hard to NOT get an erection 
A good, intelligent conversation can have the same effect on me. Especially if the person on the other side of the discussion is in the same 'mood' as I am and is capable of giving me as good as he gets. I'm a passionate kind of guy. I have very strong opinions and when I get going, my blood 'boils' and I swear, most of it ends up in my dick
Food is a major turn on. It's been proven that the endorphine rush that get from eating certain foods, especially foods like chocolate, is just as sexually arousing as physical foreplay. I'm a firm believer
Last but not least, cocks (And balls)! Is it just me or are they just the coolest things? I love the way they feel, taste and smell. I love the fact that they get hard AND soft. (and hard again I just love the whole 'mechanics' of how they work. I love playing with them, feeling them in my hands or in my mouth. Someone on another blog over at Adult FriendFinder described the feeling as 'Velvet Steel'. Perfect!!! I couldn't have put it better myself.
There REALLY are so many more things but this list a good start. How about you? What get's you turned on???

My main partner and I are scheduled for another 'meeting' this coming Monday morning. I can't wait! We've scheduled ourselves into the no-tell motel early enough so that we'll have plenty of time to explore and please each other. We've been together a number of times now and know each other pretty well. The anticipation I have for the moment that he walks into the room is almost overwhelming. Seeing him again, embracing him, that passionate first kiss that we will share, all send me into a frenzy of lust just thinking about it.
He's a fantastic lover. Very passionate but gentle. He loves to explore and is open to just about anything. He's a horny little devil and a very good kisser. He also has a fantastic dick. Not too long but very thick and cut. Very cute and VERY suckable. He's almost always rock hard. As I've said many times before, I love the initial anticipation of unzipping his pants, reaching in and pulling that magnificent cock out. Many times, he's already rock hard with anticipation but sometimes, he's soft and I get the opportunity to suck on him and feel his cock get hard in my mouth. I just LOVE that feeling!
I really don't think that there's any better way to start a Monday and a week off then having that wonderful dick of his sliding down my throat. I just love being in a 69 with him while he's on top. That incredible dick dangling in front of my mouth, grabbing is tight little ass and engulfing him to the hilt to the point that I can't breath. What a way to go... Feeling him sucking on my cock and playing with my balls. Engulfing me while I'm engulfing him. Hmmmm.
We're both very 'squirmy' things. We switch postions constantly. We explore,touch, feel, lick, suck, pinch and tickle every part of each others body.
While I have to concentrate very hard on not cumming to quickly, he can go for what seems like hours with cumming. When he finally does, he just loves for me to kiss him while he's squirting cumm all over us. He loves it when I cumm on him too. He get's the most erotic look on his face when's about to pop! It's very very cute and an incredible turn on.
He's a hairy guy and I like that. So much different than a woman. He has a very thick and rough stubbly face that scratches me with we kiss. The difference turns me on a lot. Keep in mind, I NEVER was turned on by guys kissing, let alone me kissing another guy. He changes all that in a big way!
His smell, his sexy little ass, his hairiness, his incredible, thick cock. His cute legs and fantastic mouth are all just such a turn on, I'm about ready to pop just thinking and writing about it...
He loves to take showers with me also, which is something that I just love. Getting all soapy and squeaky clean, the passion just flowing like the water around us, feeling and touching and kissing, holding each others cocks and feeling that 'velvet steel'. WHAT A MAJOR TURN-ON!!
To my partner, if you reading this, and you know who you are I love ya man. Your the best and I can't wait until Monday to be with you!!
Ok, I've got to go j/o now..

Marriage, cheating, guilt and honesty and owning up to it all. and the fact that I'm Bisexual.
|

Ok ok ok. I know I'm a horrible person. I've cheated on my wife with quite a few men now.
Yes, it's cheating, regardless of whatever imaginary line I might have drawn in my own head.
Man or women, I'm having sex with someone other than my wife and that's cheating.
I'm a cheater. Yep. I am. No doubt about it.
It's funny, the one thing I've always prided myself on, regardless of whatever relationship I was in, was fidelity and honesty.. I NEVER cheated. Ever and I don't lie.
I was born in 1958 and according to the Chinese, that was the year of the Dog. The main traits that those born in that year have is... you guessed it, loyalty and honesty. I have ALWAYS maintained that even in the face of partners who didn't.
Do I feel guilty, you bet. Is it an all consuming, mind numbing, soul crushing guilt? No. Let me try to explain.
I'm in this for one reason and one reason only, to satisfy my life long curiosity. I AM being selfish, self centered and I am risking everything that I've spent 40+ years building.
However, this life long curiousity has been just so overwhelmingly powerful I really had no choice.
It was a question that just would never go away.
the biggest question that I had was, Am I gay? For that matter, Am I hetro? Am I realy bisexual? I had to find the answer to this question. To be fair and honest to myself, to my loved ones and to everyone around me.
If I found that I am in fact gay, so be it. I will/would own up to it, come out of the closet, be honest and move on. This was the bottom line for me.
Over the past couple of years, every time I would masturbate, every time I would watch a porn flick everytime I had any type of erotic thought, the curiousity would take over inside of me.
To the point where it had really become an obsession.
A couple of years ago I bought a very realistic looking dildo. I started using it regularly. Sucking it, fondling it, fucking myself with it. When I went on business trips, I would take it with me. That way, while I was alone in my hotel room, I had time and privacy to truly explore.
But, it wasn't anywhere near enough. That hunk of plastic did NOT satisfy my curiousity in anyway. sure it was good 'training' but I longed to try the real thing.
Once again, this was a life long obsession with me.
I 'stumbled' upon the Adult FriendFinder site, registered as a Standard Member and started looking around and reading the blogs.. I then found the OP site and joined here. (Since then, I only visit the Adult FriendFinder site to read some of the incredible blogs out there. Check it out if you get the chance, especially mzhunyhole. She's fantastic.)
I made up a mental list of what exactly it was I was looking for. Did I want to suck some guys cock? Did I want to have some guy fuck me? Did I want to fuck some guys ass? The answer to all was yes.
In my life, I've never been one to do anything half-assed. In for a penny in for a pound as they say. I was looking to explore having sex with men completely and totally. I wanted to experience all kinds of men. Not just one on one but also in multiples, just like I have done with women.
Big, little, cut, uncut, fem, dom, top, bottom, black, white, asian, hispanic and ts/tg, hairy, smooth. I felt, and still do, that only after having experienced everything there is, would my curiousity be answered.
Having now experienced virtually everything on my list, I can say without any doubt in my mind that I am bisexual. That question, at least, has been answered. I enjoy being with men, I love sucking cock but in reality, I am not gay.
Men are incredible in so many ways, a lot of which I don't think I ever truly realized. I will never look at a man the same way again, ever.
As a group, we are lot more caring and tender than any women would ever give us credit for. We all are painted with a very broad brush but that is so unfair. Yes, we're a horny lot Yes, we will typically have sex at the drop of a hat, without much fanfare, foreplay or hesitation. But, we will also share. We do share our feelings. Just look around these blogs. There are guys here that are just pouring their hearts and souls out.
In my own limited experience I've found that men are very attentive lovers and care very much about our partners needs, desires and wishes. The gentlenss and longing that I've experienced as been at times, overwhelming.
Even though I've really only been at this for a short time, I've met some VERY nice guys. Very! Almost to a one, they are ALL searching for love and companionship. Even though they might not say it, sex is NOT the main focus for them. Sex is nice and they're all horny but for the most part, what they ALL are searching for is a true companion and a partner.
Most of the guys I've been with have been just like me. Married, with a life-long curiousity about the same sex. I don't know where that curiousity comes from. Some have opined that it was because they didn't have a strong father figure in their lives. (I didn't either) Maybe there's something to that. Maybe there is some kind of natural predisposition to being gay, I don't know. They all have shared the intense desire to explore and find out.
I do know a number of guys who are at BEST homophobic and at worst downright hateful and violent regarding gays. It makes me sick to think that these close-minded, assholes/individuals are walking around among us and spewing their BS and hate at a group of fellow human beings whose sole affront, is that they enjoy the company of other men.
I've noticed a quite a bit of discussion on this whole subject on various blogs here on OP. There are a number of guys out here who are struggling with this issue in a major way. Some have a lot more at stake than I do (ie, kids involved), some don't.
Most of those single guys out here, who are truly gay and who have commented, have been pretty strong in their criticisim of a married guy cheating on his wife. I understand that point of view and I do respect it. However, please understand that the same curiosity, natural disposition or feelings that you had which led you to be gay, drive us as well. In my case though, I am still VERY hetro. I love making love to my wife. Woman still, very much, turn me on. Very VERY much.
I know it's sometimes hard to believe or accept, but there is such a thing as being bisexual. I am not just too lazy or scared to make up my mind. I AM bisexual. This I now know for sure.
I will finish my quest sometime very soon. At that point, I will leave this site, I will stop having sex with men and I will walk away richer for my experiences.
I WILL feel guilty forever, in the fact that I will not be able to share the details of these experiences with my life-long companion and partner, my wife. I will feel guilty for the rest of my life, that I cheated on her. For that, I will have to deal with, alone, forever.
However, I WILL be able to utilize these experiences and the answers to those great many questions I've had. I will use them to help me refocus myself on my relationship with the one I truly love. My wife. I will no longer wonder about myself. I now know. I promise to be thankful for this and for all those who have helped me and been so supportive.

Ok, I've got the major HOTS and I need help..

I have the MAJOR hots for a fellow co-worker. He's gay, his office is right next to mine, we've worked together for over 5 years now, he's a fantastic guy and he's single.
WTF am I to do? I'm VERY hesitant to a) come on/out to him, b) I am NOT comfortable with having any kind of relationship, other than just friendly, with fellow co-workers c) he and I have hit it off in a big way. We talk, we 'giggle', we share stuff.
He's now invited me out for lunch next week and I'm VERY concerned that I'm going to be completely unable to keep my feelings, thoughts and hands (or mouth) to myself. Part of me WANTS to come out to him but obviously, I'm very afraid of it getting around and/or back to my wife.
All that being said, I have no doubt that 'tim' would be kind and discrete. He and I HAVE connected on a pretty deep, emotional level. I helped him when his father passed away, having been there, done that myself, and he was very open and grateful.
He's very good looking, smart, funny and just an all around great guy.
HELLLLP!!!

Ok, here's the deal, yours truly is obsessed with sucking cock. One of my main fantasies is to have a room full of beautiful cocks, all standing at attention and vying for the affections of my mouth and throat.
To that end I'm in the process of lining up that room of guys.
I currently have 3 wonderful guys ready and eager, their cocks are already hard with anticipation. (I know because I've already been with all 3 of them)
I'm looking for at least 2-3 more. Hell, if I can find more great!!! The only limit is the size of the room.. Take a number please, I'll be right with ya LOL
So, if your in the Indy area or if your going to be in the Indy metro area sometime during the month of November, drop me a line/email.
The only requirements are that you're clean (No smellies allowed, take a freakin shower dude), d/d free, hard and ready to receive the blowjob of your life.
I'm an equal opportunity cocksucker. White, black, hispanic, asian, cut, uncut, small, big, thick, thin, young, old, fat, skinny, it makes no difference to me. All I ask is that your clean, desease free, sane and ready to have a great time.
Cum on, what have you got to lose except for some sperm??
Email me..

Nothing much to write about today... (The quest does continue)

It's kind of a blah day all around. The weather has finally changed and it does feel, and look, much more like fall now. The trees are just starting to turn. There is no doubt that the current cold snap will accelerate the process. There's nothing prettier then the fall in this area. (Check the pic accompanying this post I would compare it to anything the Northeast/New England can produce.. Just gorgeous!
Quest Update
The quest does continue: I spent yesteray in the company of a very very nice guy who I met here on OP. We had traded several emails and finally setup a place/time to meet.
He's a bottom and I 'fancy' myself as a top. Those of you who have read my previous posts will understand the next statement I was able to perform well. At least this time I was able to maintain an erection and penetrate his wonderful ass. Felt great and a good time was had by all.
'Micky' is a very sexy guy. As I noted, he as a fantastic ass, really nice legs. A great kisser and all and all, a very good lover. He's married and bisexual, very much like me however, he does have quite a bit more experience then I.
That being said, 'Micky' has been out of the scene for quite sometime so he was pretty much virginal
So far my quest has produced some wonderful sexual encounters with a bunch of great guys. You ALL know who you are and to all of you I say THANKS! You all rock.
I'm still looking for that African-American (Is that the right term?), asian and ts/tg to round out my list. So..... The quest continues In the meantime, I'm having a blast (No pun intended) meeting some very nice guys, sucking a lot of great cocks and now, fucking a lot of great ass. So no complaints from this end..
Stay tuned.

What a nice surprise! (The quest continues)

Here's another installment to my quest.
I was winked at here on OP and responded with an email. The guy on the other end sent me back a reply that really made me laugh! He said it felt a little strange for him to be winking at the picture of my dick. LOL. (At least for me it was funny)
Anyway, we traded emails back and forth yesterday and I could tell right off that we had a great deal in common.
We decided that we would meet for a drink some time soon. Well, being the horndog that I am, and wanting to further my exploration and my quest, not to mention being in major need of some cock, I figured out a way to get out for the evening and suggested that we meet that last night at a local pub. Of course, I really wasn't expecting things to go any further on our initial date than a couple of drinks, some nice getting to know you chatter etc.
Well, 'Godfrey' was more than open to the idea so we set a date.
We met in the parking lot of the local tavern, said 'howdy' and went in. We proceded to have a very lively discussion on all manner of topics. 'Godfrey' shared with me some of his past, and we sat, ate and drank for quite some time.
Finally, I suggested that we head out to my truck and continue getting to know each other.
Well, those of you who have kept up with my blogs probably know me by now It didn't take long for me to reach over and start rubbing the growing bulge in his jeans..
I had mentioned to 'Godfey' earlier about how turned on I am by the simple act of unzipping a new lovers pants and that initial 'oh my' when I pull a guys dick out for the first time. I just love that whole act. It's wrapped up in suspense and nervousness and surprise etc etc.
Back to the stroy: By this time 'Godfrey' was rock hard. I unzipped his pants and took his cock out. He was rock hard, nice and thick with a great set of balls. Of course, yours truly immediatly applied my patented oral skills to full effect. (Wild horses couldn't have kept me from engulfing him balls and all
'Godfrey' enjoyed my 'special' gifts very much, I could tell. Well, even though we where in my truck in a parking lot (My least favorite place), our passion took over and soon, 'Godfrey's' pants were down around his ankles and his shirt was over his head. 'Godfrey' has the most wonderfully smooth body. Very little hair and very sensitive nipples. We kissed and kissed and kissed. I stroked him and sucked on his cock and licked his nipples and did all those great things until he could not stand it anymore and he popped a huge load of cum all over his belly and pubic hair and my hand and well... everywhere
Even after, 'Godfrey' and I continued to play. After a very short time, I started to suck on him again. Unfortunatly, we were running out of time so we had to end our first love making session.
What a nice surprise and a wonderful way to end a very nice Saturday

Ok, I've got to admit, I'[ve probably had more than my fair share of 'em but one in particular stands out for me.
First, a little background.
I've lived in Indy, off and on, for the better part of my life. I'm always had a dream of being able to drive around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in a real Indy car at speed. (Who hasn't right?)
Of course, you CAN drive around the IMS in your own car during community day but they limit your speed and while being a hoot it just isn't the same thing.
More background: The company I work for has a suite out at the track every year. We have a big party, folks come in from offices around the world, lot's of beer, lots of food and generally just a real good time. 3 years ago we started a raffle with the grand prize being 4 laps around the speedway, in a real 2-place Indy car at speed.
Yep, you guessed it. I won the first raffle we had.
Man! A lifelong dream came true. I showed up at the IMS at 9:00am one bright and sunny May morning, filled out about 3 million forms, singed away my first born etc, got suited up in a full race/fire suit, helmet, gloves, shoes the whole works, and then..... I was strapped into the back seat of a REAL 2-seat Indy car. My driver was Davey Hamilton. He fired up the car and off we went.
Suffice it to say that those for laps at speeds of 180-190mph were just as incredible as you would imagine. The g-forces that you feel diving into those turns are incredible. The sense of speed as you come out of a turn and come within inches of the wall is amazing. The feeling is hightened by the fact that your sitting only mere inches off the pavement. Coming around the fourth turn at Indy and flying down the main straight is like flying through a canyon. The funny thing about it is, those cars are SOOOOO loud but when your in one, it's eerily quiet. The engine is behind you and your travelling so fast, you are almost outrunning the sound.
That was one of my best days!!!
How about you???

Gay marriage
|

Ok, I figured that this would be a good forum for a discussion surrounding gay marriage.
A fellow co-worker and I have been in an intense, on going discussion for quite some time regarding this topic.
First, let say flat out that I am 100% for gay marriages. Well, more to the point, I'm 100% AGAINST any law that restricts two consenting adults from participating in the full benefits, rights and privileges surrounding the formal act of marriage as defined by the government. I feel that ANY law that abridges the rights of gay citizens to fully participate in our society is fundamentally unconstitutional and should be immediately struck down.
For the 'state' to attempt to restrict the privileges and rights afforded to gay married couples is in direct conflict with the right to 'life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness' that is plainly spelled out in the Declaration of Independence.
I don't agree with it just like I would never have agreed with slavery. The Declaration and the U.S. Constitution enshrine for all time the notion that All men and women are created equal. Singling out one group from this, especially on some sort of dubious religious grounds, is complete and utter stupidity and it flies in the face of everything good that these documents profess to embrace. Not to mention the teachings of Jesus Christ himself.
The only arguments that I have EVER heard against gay marriage ultimately are drawn from a religious source. No matter how it's couched or regardless of any attempt to 'hide' it, the objection always points back to someone's religion as the basis.
My 'magic book' says such and such. Homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of my g-d. Gays prey on our children,seeking to turn them to their evil ways. Gay marriage will destroy the 'holy' institution of marriage. Homosexuality is just another tool that the devil uses to corrupt us. On and on and on.
Of course the religious can sight chapter and verse, both in the new and old testaments as well as the Koran to justify their own fears, loathing and outright hatred of gays. They immediately assume the moral high ground and look down upon the unclean, amoral, agnostic or atheist group of sinners that we all have become, regardless of whether or not its true. I know lot's of gays that are very religious. Good luck to them..
(It's interesting that a lot of these same arguments where used to justify slavery...)
Well, that's all fine and dandy.. But basing public policy and law SPECIFICALLY on one's religious beliefs seems to me to be very similar to what the Taliban and the Islamists are wanting to do.
Now, I realize that a lot of our laws came directly from some of the more fundademental 'rules' laid out in the great Judea-Christian tradition. Mostly from the 10 commandments. Thou Shalt Not Kill seems like a pretty good basis for a law to me. Along with Thou Shalt Not Steal etc. All great. Notice however, that in the 10 commandements, there is no mention of Thou Shalt Not Be Gay. It makes you wonder sometimes, listening to these fanatics, why was this left out??
Of course, the Golden Rule seems to always fall by the wayside doesn't it? Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.. Seems like a pretty good 'rule' and basis for laws huh? Too bad it's meaning is lost when it comes to gays and gay marriage.
As an aside, I'm Jewish and I find it interesting that the Jewish community as a whole, from my perspective at least, seems to be a bit more tolerant of gays, even though some of the more intolerant passages used by those who would limit peoples rights come from the old testement. Just an observation.
Of course, it's not just the religious folks that are out to limit our rights in the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness, there are also the truly homophobic. These people just hate, plain and simple. Most that I've met are very small minded to begin with and justify/use religion as a crutch. I often wonder, as I'm sure you have, how much are they truly afraid of us versus how much of it stems from what they fear inside of themselves? No big revelation here, sorry. These folks are so unelightened and unthinking as to barely fall into what I would consider the human race. Jerry Springer fodder. But they are VERY dangerous...
I also don't agree with the notion of civil unions. While, on the surface, it seems like a good idea, I feel that it's nothing more than an attempt to placate those who are against gay marriage. No no no. Either everyone is entitled to full participation in this society or none of us are. Gay marriage, should be just that and if your religion doesn't agree, fine. Then don't old gay marriages in your church, but stay the hell out of the public arena. Our government is supposed to be and should be neutral in these matters. Not beholden to one groups set of narrowly defined values based upon some magic book that they and they alone are the keepers of.
Ok, there are my thoughts. Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated..
