Feel The Vibration

One of the places I did not imagine that I would go when I began my journey was becoming a quite avid fan of vibrators.

I know that there are men who enjoy using them or having them used on those men's own bodies, but that is not what I am talking about. For whatever reasons of physiology or psychology I don't enjoy that feeling.

I am a fan of using vibrators to make women happy, whatever happy might be, and to tease and frustrate before that to bring the greater happiness later.

There is so much to love. They are tireless instruments, and their abilities exceed the limitations of the flesh, but continue on with their work with unvarnished monomania (though I have dealt with the unfortunate matter of batteries giving out at an inopportune time).

They can also be precise instruments, causing just the right amount of pleasure, walking up to the edge and then retreating, then walking again and back. They can find just the right spot and do it at just the right moment.

And they can be applied in circumstances where my own body can only do so much, and a bit of additional stimulation is required. There is much that I can do, but adding a vibrator almost always makes things better.

It is not something that men learn about when they are young and eager. Not usually, in my experience. And there are men who feel threatened by them, as if they are diminished by their electrical pal.

I began more befuddled than threatened, but I discovered just how much I enjoyed the effects that they provided. When I discovered what they could do and the horizons that they widened, I became the biggest fan in the world (maybe the biggest fan among people who get no pleasure from using them on themselves).

What I know is that then make me free. I don't have to worry about my own unaided physical abilities. I have the power, at my fingertips, to make everything right and joyous.

And they can make fun last much longer than it ever could without their buzzing cooperation.

And, forgive me if this sounds pretentious, one more medium of artistry to explore, or at least a craft that I could and would try to become more skilled at.

During my lifetime the vibrators themselves have become better and more varied and more interesting. There are so many, and so excellent are they, I don't even know all of the things that they can do. Not just cheap bits of junk that work badly, they have come into their own, so to speak.

And I am their number one fan, well, maybe not number one, but possessed of an irrational (and rational) exuberance for them.

I didn't think, when I began, that I would learn to love them. But they have buzzed their way into my heart and into the hearts of those whom I have loved. And I don't know what I would do without them.

Water and Air

I am a creature of the sea. The water is my home, I in it, it in me. I am enveloped by it and I drink it in, nourished, filled with life, in happy union. I am a creature of the air. I fly above the blue water, sunlight bright on my skin. Bright dot against the sky. I dance, with you. I see you are a shining fish like me, come up from oceans different, yet much the same. We will each, in our time, seek sea's embrace again, then rise, and fly together, in the warm air.

Fresh Every Day

Before the great Bryce Lloyd fire of '15 (not an actual fire), on the ancient version of this blog, I wrote an essay. I wrote many actually, and many were lost in the (not literal) fire. Two of these were such that keenly feel their loss, and I remember them with fondness, and also sadness. What follows is an effort to recapture one of these again here, because I feel as if it had an enduring value, at least to me. We shall see about that. When I was first married, I was drawn to symbols of permanence: gold rings, diamonds (which are not really forever) and things, in general, that seemed an unchanging touchstone that could represent the eternal. These symbols, perhaps, were manifestations of my insecurity, but they also embodied an ideal: they were physical representations of a lasting love that could, and would, survive the years. I think that it is an image and an idea that society presents and we consume, unthinkingly, but it also did resonate with my own image and unde

Cleaning Up

“So, you will require a cleaning once every two weeks, including the living room, dining room, kitchen, stairs, hallway and bathroom, correct?” “Yes”, he said, “that is what I would prefer.” “And my rate is OK with you?”, she asked. “Yes, but I would expect to pay more for the first cleaning because of the extra work involved”, he said. “I didn’t ask for that.” “I know, but it seemed fair to me.” She pondered this for a while. Waves of emotion seemed to capture her, and she seemed to be about to speak several times. Eventually, she did speak. “That is generous and speaks well of you”, she said, “but no such additional payment is required. I quote my rates on the back of my experience, and I get significant satisfaction from my work.” He smiled. It seemed that it was his turn to ponder. After a long moment, he said, “That interests me. What would you say is the source of your satisfaction? What is it about this work that you find satisfying?” She loo
