Last year I started to watch this show out of curiosity. Violence, gratuitous sex and a creative spin on history seemed to be worth at least one look. I figured that I'd watch one or two episodes and be done with it, I did not anticipate getting drawn into the show, but I did.
What drew me in was the development of the characters and a desire to see one several of the main characters get what they had coming to them. Of course the sex and fighting helped too, but that in itself would not have been enough to hold my interest.
While I enjoy Lucy Lawless in her role, I wish they had cast someone else. Her fake boobs just seem so out of place for the tie period.
I was saddened to hear that the lead of the show had to resign due to a relapse of a chronic and potentially fatal health condition. I hope that he is able to make a full recovery. 
This season I thought they were going to replace him and continue Spartacus's story with a new lead, but they did something better. They brought back most of the cast and went back in time. It has been interesting seeing the events that helped shaped the characters.
It's especially nice seeing Peter Mensah  get more screen time. Would have liked to have seen him in the arena, but in many ways it helps me empathize more with his character.
They also seemed to have dialed up the sex, a lot, it is basically like watching soft-core porn. While it is nice eye candy, I think I preferred what they did last season, but we are only 4 episodes in so we shall see how it progresses.
Besides, its hard for me not to appreciate the frequent showings of Jaime Murray's fabulous body.

So I click on one of the daily ticker profiles out of curiosity and it is the picture of a naked attractive white woman in her lower 30's. Then I go to read what she has to say about herself and it starts off with "Tall, sexy black woman…" I check her basic multiple choice answers and Caucasian is marked.
I'm glad fakers regularly make these kinds of mistakes, but it really is amazing that someone could make that kind of egregious error.
On a different note, so how about this ice storm? I am so glad that I have moved back to the North East to once again have to deal with this mush.

I positively love this show. My initial reasons for watching it had to do with Nathan Fillion. He is a favorite actor of mine because of the role he played in a relatively short lived series called Firefly.
While I have not followed his every endeavor since Firefly I did watch another short lived show called Drive and because of him and he was the reason why I tuned into Castle when it first aired last year.
The casting of Stana Katic as Kate Beckett was spot on. She has done a wonderful job of developing her character. While I love her role in Castle, I was disappointed to see her in the movie The Spirit a few weeks ago, her agent should have advised her to take a pass on that one.
They had her playing a quasi ditzy cop that supposedly knew more than what her appearances were supposed to lead the viewers and those in the story to believe. I don't know if it was that I am just too accustomed to seeing her play a smart confident woman or if it is that she just has no clue on how to do ditz, but either way it left a bad taste in my mouth.
What I love about Castle is how the writers work the chemistry between the two of them, particularly the way that they balance the relationship. The one thing that I do not find consistent within the context of the show, is that neither one of them has professed their feelings for the other given the nature of their personalities.
I understand that from an entertainment standpoint the sexual and emotional tension is part of the dynamics of the show, but given how strong they are as people it seems like one of them would have found a way to communicate their feelings to the other.
Well it looks like this season will finally be the one where we see the two of them connect. I would imagine that there is a lot of entertainment that could be written about the two of them building their relationship.
Regarding the rest of the cast I think that they did a wonderful job, particularly in casting Castle's mom. The chemistry between the two of them is absolutely fantastic.

Yesterday I found out that I had lost a friend who had been a part of my life since my junior year of high school. He passed away unexpectedly when an aneurysm in his brain burst while he was having an argument with his girlfriend. He was only 42. His sudden passing has left our small group of high school, his family and other friends in a state of shock.
I mention that he was arguing with his girlfriend when he passed because as of late I too was not on the best of terms with him. Over the years different views on life and the lack of time to reconcile them had caused us to drift apart further than either of us would have preferred.
Things were still great when we all got together as a group, but our friendship had gotten to a point where we never sought out each other one on one anymore despite promises to do so when we were together as a group.
Differences in our personalities made it difficult for us to bridge the growing chasm, but I always thought that one day we would be able to find that common ground that had been the foundation of our friendship and sort things out. Unfortunately it looks like that time has passed before either one of us had a chance to rectify the situation.
His brother and I had a long conversation last night where we reminisced about his life and its impact on us. He assured me that I should not sweat the differences between him and his brother and reminded me that his brother loved me. He will be missed.
Ironically his passing comes after the last two weekends where I have been fortunate to have been able to live a little again and enjoy some of the spontaneous adventuring that used to be a regular part of my life.
I have also been fortunate enough to have been able to enjoy some of these adventures with someone who is special to me. Regrettably we are both aware from previous attempts to build a relationship together that we do not have a long term future, but for now we have found a place where we can enjoy these opportunities until time takes us down different paths.
Even though I am having a great time, these adventures in conjunction with my friend's sudden passing are hard reminders of my deep desire to be spending the brief moments that we have on this planet creating memories and adventures with someone that I am building a life with because I want to be able to use them as a foundation for new adventures and experiences or just be able to enjoy the simple pleasure of reliving them.
As things stand now, eventually I will have to pack up these experiences and will not be able to relive the special moments that occurred during them again. I don't want to do that which is why that even though I am happy with where my life is I continue to put myself out there in hope of one day making that connection that will lead to meeting a woman that I can build a life with where we can create memories and experiences shared over a lifetime together.

Okay, the t-storms rolling through here today are a definite bummer and have squashed my plans for today and most likely tomorrow… time for plan B which is to open up the pending project drawer.
The plan be I would prefer is to spend it all day indoors with that special someone making love with each other. Although a cool twist to that on a hot but rainy day like this would be to head up to a secluded cabin in the woods surrounded by lots of lush green grass, take off our clothes and make love outside in the rain.

Sans Clothing

Several years ago a friend said to me "You like being naked" I asked her why she thought so because it seemed a strange observation for her to make given the short period time we had been more than platonic friends. Her answer was that she noticed that after showering in the morning, I was in no rush to get dressed. She was spot on in her observation.
In the privacy of my own home or an environment where it is acceptable for adults to be naked I enjoy the opportunity to go san clothing. Outside of the fact that it is comfortable it also appeals to the exhibitionist and voyeur in me.
Even as a long before I knew about clothing optional resorts, nude beaches or the swing world, I used to fantasize about the pool in our backyard and how when I was an adult and married my wife and I would have the same kind of pool go skinny dipping all of the time. Its only gotten worse as I have gotten older and had the opportunity to go out and experience lifestyles and places that allow for it.
I find that in those kinds of environments I am definitely more relaxed in my boundaries (like none at all) in the levels of affection (a lot) I display towards my partner compared to how I am in the normal world. I am not PDA phobic, but I definitely have boundaries in public and around non lifestyle friends.
I am the kind of person that can see how it would be simply amazing to have sex on top of the Empire State Building on a clear night overlooking looking NYC. If you have ever been up there at night you know what I mean.
As powerful as that fantasy is for me, it is something that I would never actually do because I do not believe in imposing my sexuality on other people in an environment where they were not expecting it. Plus I know that if I came walking around the corner with my young and some couple was getting it on in front of us I'd be pissed.
I am glad to know that there are incredible places and environments out there that it is acceptable for consenting adults to exercise their sexuality in public.

I'm definitely feeling reflective today. As I look at my dating patterns over the years I can see a definite change from focusing on everything but sex to predominantly focusing on sexual compatibility, to finding some form of middle ground between the two.
In my teens and 20's my views on premarital sex and the desire to take responsibility for an accidental pregnancy had me focused on dating only women that I could envision myself being married to.
In my late 20's to early 30's two things happened, I started making more money and the internet came along which dramatically impacted my views on dating. I went from objective oriented dating to just going with the flow of whomever I happened to meet whose company I could enjoy.
money impacted my change in dating in three ways. The first was self confidence because I was finally starting to feel like I was building a career and past the point where I needed to rely on the parents for the occasional emergency cash flow offset. The second was that if I met someone and an accidental pregnancy did occur, I'd be able to offer financial and parental support without having to move in with them. Lastly it gave me the opportunity to start exploring some of the things I was reading about on the internet.
My early focus was simply traveling to different cities and swing clubs. The internet made both of those fairly accessible. I had always wanted to travel around the US, low last minute airfares and the fact that I could meet someone online before heading to a new city was all very exciting.
Then of course there were the swing clubs. What I had been reading about them online versus what I thought I knew about them combined with my desire to people watch in that kind of environment lead to me being fairly aggressive about finding a way to get into one even though I was a single male.
My short romances opened my eyes as to just how different women were and educated me on the kinds of personalities that I fit well with and the kind that didn't.
It is safe to say that in my early relationships I was the one who was willing to be a bit more out there when it came to sex. For example I was 31 by time I met the first woman who truly enjoyed and go turned on by giving a blow job.
Up until that point the only blowjobs I had gotten were from women who felt obligated to return the favor after I had just spent time going down on them or simply felt like it was something that they were supposed to do, but took no real enjoyment from it. And to be perfectly honest up until that blowjob that redefined what a blowjob meant, I was completely okay with what I had been getting up to that point.
While the internet had broadened the type of women I was meeting, it was my excursions to swing clubs and other lifestyle events that really began to expand my horizons on what I believed a relationship was capable of being, so much so that for the better part of my 30's I pretty much limited my dating options to only women that were swing club friendly.
What attracted me about women I met at swing clubs was how confident they were in their sexuality and how open they were with their significant others. While I was just starting to experience some of that in my dating life it was nothing like what I was seeing at the clubs and I found it simply intoxicating.
Unfortunately I became way too focused on finding a woman who was swing club friendly because in my mind that was the barometer that I could use to figure out just how comfortable and confident a woman was with her sexuality.
It took me a little while to figure out that all many women were hearing was "You want to bring me to a club so that you can sleep with other women" and that very few of them would understand that was not my reason the potential for sex was not why I enjoyed those kinds of environments.
In my late 30's I finally figured out that it wasn't swing clubs, but that the kind of sexual confidence and adventure that I like in a woman can come from many different places, it just happened to be in abundance at the clubs.
What I find challenging these days is to meet someone who is a match in all of the areas that I feel are important when it comes to building a long term relationship, particularly when it comes to sexual compatibility which is why I tend to focus on it more than the vanilla elements.
Overall I think I have achieved better balance than where I was at in my 20's or 30's. The scope of my experiences and adventures has definitely made this more of a challenge. Knowing what I know today, I'd do it all over again because I feel like I learned so much about what is possible in a relationship from them.

Independence versus Companionship

20 years ago had someone asked me where I would be right now in life my answer would have included something about being married with .
I can't say that I am surprised that things have not turned out that way given that I have never viewed it as an absolute requirement for a happy life. My thoughts have always been that it will happen when it happens but in the meantime I am just going to live my life.
I'm being reflective on this subject tonight because I decided to pass by a local adult video store. After being down here for three years I figured it was about time I checked one out.
In general I tend to avoid them when I am outside of NYC because the prices for DVD's are nearly double and it just seems ridiculous to pay that amount when I know I can get the same movie for much less, but I digress.
The store wasn't all that different from any of the other stores I had been in around the country. It was on the cleaner side when compared to others, but still had that low end adult store grunge that makes me want to wash my hands when I get home.
The only other customers in the store at the time were an older couple. While it is not completely unusual to see a couple in a video store it is rare enough that I took a couple of seconds to size them up.
They were not unattractive although I got the impression that they looked older than their years. They seemed to fit nicely as a couple, they had that look and mannerisms where it just seemed like they had been together for years and years.
They were partially obscured by merchandise, but from what I could see of them he was dressed is a casual rancher style button up and jeans while she had on sort of a what I would describe as a black light sweater that went down to about mid thigh.
He was diligently searching through the DVD's and she was kind of half following him although not as focused on browsing as he was. I briefly wondered what their story was and moved on.
About 5 minutes later I happened to look their way and was in a position where I was able to see her from head to toe and noticed that the rest of her outfit was some sort of white tank top with a black belt and boots.
What was interesting about her outfit was that the tank top ended just above her pubic mound and there was nothing else until one got down to her boots. I could not help but take in the fact that she had a tight V cut and rather attractive pussy lips.
Having wondered around in the adult world for a while I cannot say that I was all that surprised to see her like that. It certainly made for a nice treat. Had I still been into the couple scene I might have tried to find out their agenda for the evening and what role I might have played in it. I appreciated the treat and moved on.
While I had no interest in engaging them it did get me to wondering what their story was. Were they just an exhibitionist couple out for some fun? Were they looking for a single male? Was the video store some sort of meeting place? Was she doing it because she it turned her on or was it just to make him happy? So many questions ran through my head.
From there I went on to wonder about the dynamics of their relationship and how they eventually got to a place where they could wind up in an adult video store with her wearing no panties. After that it was a short leap to pondering romance as it related to my own life
As I mentioned earlier, getting married has never been a huge focus in my life. I enjoy my own company and when I seek the company of others I have a fairly robust network of friends and family that I can get my social fix from. When it comes to more intimate connections I am fortunate in that meeting someone is usually not a problem.
In my various travels and adventures over the years I have often thought it would have been nice to have been having these adventures while building a life together with someone, sharing in the fun with and helping to inspire or plan then next adventure.
This comes from having had the opportunity to experience life as a couple and knowing how I felt during those times. There is a definite excitement and energy that I get when I am doing someone with someone special versus doing it on my own or with a platonic friend.
Of course when I get reflective like this there is the side of me that reminds me that one of the nice things about being on my own was that I do not have t consult with someone else or factor in their feelings when making decisions. There is something to be said for having the freedom to do what I want to do when and how I want to do it.
Even though I value my independence ultimately I cannot deny the fact that one day I would very much like to be that couple in the video store. While having my wife parade around in an adult video store with no bottoms might not be how we would choose to express our sexuality (but not out of the realm of possibility if that was something my partner really wanted to do), the idea that two people can get to know and trust each other enough to share their innermost fantasies with each other and experience the fulfillment of them together is very appealing to me on so many levels and certainly worth giving up a little independence for.

How Wet is too Wet?

As someone who has a thing for women who get extremely wet to me there is no such thing as too wet. That said some of those women who were capable of getting extremely wet that I have had the good fortune of getting to know have all had at least one story of some dude in their life complaining that they get too wet for them.
From a sexual mechanics standpoint I can understand why some guys might not enjoy a woman whom they would classify as excessively wet because of the loss of friction. However to me there are so many other sensations that come into play when a woman is that wet which more than make up for the loss of friction.
