Treat Yourself

Chatting with a good friend today we were discussing coming out of a hard week or so and the need to treat ourselves. It is nice to have friends to remind you to do that. I must admit it is never inthe forefront of my mind. But I thought about it over the course of the day and thought i would share the ways in which I treat myself.

First and foremost, I  would say my biggest indulgence is reading and buying books. I love books. i love reading. I love spending time in bookstores.

 I love losing myself in an author's world.

Surrendering myself to the pleasures of another's imagination and emotion.

And I love running. Whether in a group, in a race, or even out for a solitary run, it clears my mind, and most importantly, helps to lift my spirits.

I love working out and hanging at the gym. Not in a creepy stlaker way, but just enjoying the intimacy of men working hard.

Oh yeah, and there's that sweaty gear thing:)

I love the steamroom after a good workout - particularly when I can get some sloppy wet head.

I love time on the beach. Anytime of year in any situation. Being near the water is resorative to my well-being.

Though extremely rare, just listening to music.



A couple of glasses of Oban single malt. Fuck yeah.

I love watching the game, commando in a pair of soft sweat pants.

I love a hot edging session

I love a long make-out session.

 I love the scent of a man, exactly as this guy is inhaling his guy in this pic. That shared smell is a rare treat.

I love the touch of a man and stroking each others bodies

I love a scruffy, wet blow job.

How do you treat yourself? Tell me your greatest indulgences and by all means give yourself a  couple over the holidays. We all need it guys. And thanks Mack for the inspiration!

The Scruff is the Thing

 It is great to be back in command of my schedule again. Anything is better than it was last week. So is it just me or is everyone growing their winter fur? Everytime I turn around I see one more furry and attractive man than another. God I love a good furry kiss.

 A full on furry chest -- you know this guy has a hairy butt.

 And when that trail of dark fur leads to a hot stick . . . fuck

 The only thing better than this is a nice fresh load of cream resting on his stomach.

And licking and cleaning out a clean but ripe pit . . . oh yeah

  And a furry commando stud --- bring it

 Some hot musky nuts

 Yeah, I know

Just let it go bro.

Tough Week

The methods of dealing with work stress are pretty varied for me and they were put to the test this week. It was a tough week. A week where I had to be "on " with a large group of people, some of whom support me and some of whom would love nothing more than to see me fail. I struggle when I am in this place and

unfortuantely shut everyone out. It isn't intentional and it isn't reflective of a change in my relationship with anyone -- I just don't have the capacity to keep my levels of intesnity on high all the time and am particularly vulnerable isolating myself -- even from those that can help me the most.

The good news is that it doesn't last forever and even today I feel a huge sense of relief. It feels good to be back.

Anticipation

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I know mine was sort of rushed. Hard to believe the holidays will be here in a few weeks. I'm reminded of the excitement of seeing friends and family and the anticipation of great things to come. Speaking of anticipation, I spent some time on my run this weekend thinking about what it is I am most looking forward to at home, at work, with freinds and lovers.

How do we as grown men handle anticipation? Much like when I was young child breathlessly waiting for Santa to arrive. I set the pattern early -- I get impatient, I get physical and a bit aggressive to get what  I want.

 Whether I'm looking to engage  someone in potential business, a new friendship, a lover

 following a cool new athlete (hello Eagle Kelce:) that guy on the street with the jeans riding low enough to make me look, and look again

 Or the built up anticipation in meeting someone you've just met, but man thngs are progressing faaaast and damn if that doesn't feel good.

 I wish I didn't handle anticipating these things so tenaciously -- was more patient, didn't push too hard ---

But then that wouldn't be me. I like to push and explore and figure it out. So how do you handle anticipation? Do you ever feel like sharing it with someone? I hear ya brother.

To Run or Fuck?

 My post-marathon break should have ended a wekk or so ago, but damn I just feel so lazy!

 Couldn't get out of bed lately, but this morning I motivated myself.

 But man oh man, was I more than horned up out on the trail. Everywhere I turned I thought of dick

 and getting sucked

couldnt help but bone up on the trail, but in the shower things came to a head

 thinking of fucking a beautiful tight hairy ass

Made me lose it and coat the tiles something fierce. Damn it was a good run. now if only my fantasy could mirrior my reality!

Brothers Revisited

Some great conversations on the role of brotherhood this week. And man this has been a long week. So as I head into a busy weekend and a crushing week next week . . . my advice is to reach out to the brothers in your life and give them a hug (virtual or real).

 Remind them you care about them and that you are glad they are in your lives.

 Take some alone time and just breathe, revel in your masculinity and what makes you your soul feel good.

 And when the time comes, reach for what you know gives you the most pleasure --

Your stand-by best buddy -- your cock and nuts and explore the wonder that gives you pleasure. have an awesome weekend guys.
