[Endless_Night]

My search for great sex is new, so still something of a work in progress. I haven’t reached the point where the effort outweighs the goal. I’m sure it will happen eventually. Or I’ll get bored and lose interest in the pursuit.

But not quite yet.

Though I will say that some days it does seem to require a lot of effort....

 

[RacyRedLips]

I'm happy with really good. In multiples. Really good, in its own way, can be pretty spectacular and just as fulfilling.

Re-edited to say (because I don't need Pm's suggesting I'm sexually unfulfilled and in need of the right man): I've experienced exceptional. Phenomenal, even. I just don't want it to become something in my mind that I spend the rest of my life trying to maintain or top. It makes relationships and sex complicated and a tad bit taxing. I don't want to keep those 'great ones' so high on a pedestal that it takes the fun out of recess. I want to be optimistic in thinking life is giving me what I need and when I need it. Simple as.

The dreary days of winter are upon us(well, at least me). Warmer temperatures offset by gloomy gray skies. Sure the warmer than usual temperatures are great but it comes with a price, no sun. I'm greedy, I want it all. Sun and warmth, please.

But that pretty much mirrors life, the Stones sang about it "You Can't Always Get What You Want" but I'm pretty sure they weren't talking about the weather. In an ideal world we don't accept anything less than everything but in life all we can try to do is to get as close as we can. When does the effort of trying to get everything become greater than what you are striving for itself? Like I posted yesterday (in a different thread, sshhhhhh) are two really good irgasms better than one great one? Are you still pursuing that great one or are you happy with really good?

One great one is ... well, great. It also tends to herald the end of playtime. I would choose a few really good ones that keep us both playing longer.

 

[Endless_Night]

Well, heck! It appears I didn't really answer the question.

I've spent some time chasing multiples. They are good. But those singular great ones can be phenomenal! Like VT says, however, they do usually mean the end of play. So what I'd prefer would be circumstance dependent.

Also, those singulars usually require a lot of teasing, touching, whatever to reach greatness. In that circumstance playtime could just be early, leading up to the one great orgasm as an orchestrated finale.

I'm not really multiorgasmic, and when it comes to sex I take what I can get, I'm afraid.

On the upside, we have a ton of sun here.

 

[Lord Pmann]

I stuck my dick in my new sex toy today. Holy shit it was heaven. It's like a vibrating mouth. I'm slipping my wife some meth next time we fuck in hopes it makes her twat buzz.

I'll take that good orgasm any day over two by myself. But usually sex with someone is better. I've heard.

Holy Crap! Seriously?

Holy Crap! Seriously?

Being the NKOTB. Posting. My profile.

All my fault really.

Sometimes the juice flows and sometimes it doesn't. Yep, this is one of those mornings where the ol' brain is struggling to find a topic worthy of this esteemed audience. Too lame, nobody replies, too deep and too much effort in thought, too generic and it becomes like every other thread, too rambly and no one ever finishes reading.

So.....so who is your muse? Where do you find your inspiration? Do you turn inward and look deeper within? Do you look around you and draw from others? But please, please don't tell me you're a plodder

 

[Endless_Night]

My inspiration comes from all around. Things I see, read, hear. Emotions can be inspiring. A rush of joy can open my mind to all kinds of possibilities. Rather like a flower opening it’s petals. I find great beauty, even serenity, in pulling together a project, or seeing an idea come to fruition. It’s rather like decorating a room. It’s all about the flow, layer upon layer.

If I get stuck, I usually turn inward and dig deep. My biggest issue is that sometimes I get lost in the tangled depths and can’t find my way out.

People interaction tends to shut me down, so those that draw from others fascinate me. It’s the whole extrovert thing, I guess. My bestie in grad school could go to a party, get drunk on people, and then head to the lab and work all night. I’d stagger in and find she’d done a week's worth of work!

Today I'm inspired to make cookies. About 20 dozen.

*scampers off to bake*

*nods in agreement*

I feel very much the same way. I, too, sometimes get lost when I dig deep.

As for drawing from actual people as a source of inspiration. Sure. Their aura....their laughter....sometimes even a facial expression. My career requires me to be creative so it's the quirky, little things that tend to inspire me the most.

I've only had one muse. He was, by far, also, a stellar rival. I think someone once stated that male muses don't exist, however, surely something can be said about someone who inspires and affects you quite deeply....and all so very intensely....past or presently existing.

Interesting. I've never had a muse....

Cookie update: 30 dozen. Lemon bars, shortbread, corn cookies, Arkansa cookies, peanut butter cookies, ginger cookies, and sand tarts.

More tomorrow!

In nine minutes, EndlessNight?! You must be some kind of biscuit fairy...no muse required for this endeavour. Regardless of the time stamp, such effort is commendable. I haven't baked in ages...very steeped minced fruit still awaiting tarts...and waiting....My new oven arrives shortly... Perhaps then you can be my muse...

There is a muse of sorts who has inspired me to be less lazy with language and try to be more creative in everyday correspondence. Other inspirations ensued and were fostered. That has been fun.

The phrase 'no man is an island' comes to mind with this topic as so much of what we do and say, what we learn and how we live our lives is effected by those in our lives or those we look to as leading by example some way in which we hope to live. A muse can take many forms.

I'm thinking a devil on the shoulder is as good a muse as any when we are wondering if we are naughty or nice....

Is Chained in need of a muse? Perhaps you need to make a list of potential topics, one you might check twice. It's ok... I'll do it

ROFL! You might want to check that time stamp.

Chained...with a muse....

Oh, the mental pictures!

 

[ChainedUp]

Fast hitter today, minimal preamble. When do you stay quiet vs when do you speak up? Every day it seems like there are opportunities to speak up / stand up for someone and it seems that as a society we are doing so less and less.

 

[GiggLeGasm]

I often let other people do the talking...

After my very lame joke above (to which I added the eye roll to save you all the trouble), I should speak up less. However, this topic did remind me of what has become one of the great modern speeches in Australia. It's by the now former Chief Officer of the Australian Army, Lt General David Morrison, and was given to address ongoing behavioral issues in the army. I have included the link. It goes for three minutes. He spoke up, he spoke out and his attempts at fundamental cultural change towards a more inclusive culture in the army were rightly applauded and lauded.

"I will be ruthless in ridding the army of people who cannot live up to its values. And I need everyone of you to support me in achieving this. The standard you walk past, is the standard you accept. That goes for all of us, but especially those, who by their rank, have a leadership role." David Morrison AO, June 2013

Thank you for posting the link^. One of the most impressive things I’ve seen in a long, long time.

I still speak out, but less than I have in the past, particularly when politics are involved.

On the board I rarely speak out. When I first joined I did, but over time I found myself adapting to the keep-it-light, keep-it-pleasant, don’t-feed-the-trolls, stay-out-of-other-people’s-wrangles culture. (Note that I’m not talking about the GB!) If I do have an issue I engage through PMs rather than on the board. It feels a little unnatural, and is one of the reasons I take “Lit Breaks”.

And wear my glasses!!

I only wish I could bake that fast!

 

[BradBigBrain]

I speak up. That's the way I've always been.

I speak up. That's the way I've always been.

And we like that about you.

 

[SweetCupcake]

I speak up when there is a real injustice, but if it is just idiot-babbling and no real victims, I try to just ignore and not encourage them.

 

[Paul_Chance]

I'm with SweetCupcake on this one. If it matters, I speak up. Online, I tend to just let the idiots be idiots. Twenty plus years in online forums and I've never seen a serial arguer change their mind about anything.

 

[Lord Pmann]

It depends on the mood. If I'm in an argumentative mood, then I speak up because, hey, an argument. If not, I let it slide. But if it's important, I'll fight to the death no matter the mood.

I've been known to argue quite a bit of the situation calls.

 

[Scout44]

I speak up when there is a real injustice, but if it is just idiot-babbling and no real victims, I try to just ignore and not encourage them.

This, I pick and choose my battles, I hope wisely. If it is something I am passionate about I will certainly speak up or if I see someone who I feel cannot defend themselves then I will step in.

I would have to say I'm the victim when idiots babble. It's an epidemic. I'm surrounded by them. (ETA- and I don't mean you all)
