An observation from London during our lockdown. The answer to the question would be, far too much. I was heading out for work early last week on the day our recycling is collected. As I was early I had a brief walk. The glass boxes were even fuller than the week after Christmas. A trip to my local huge supermarket later in the week also showed that the beer, wine & spirts section was wiped out. The exception being Corona beer! Please be careful everyone, it is OK if you can handle it, but we are all confined and under considerable stress and dealing with uncertainty. In most cases booze relaxes people, acts as an ice breaker and can lower inhibitions. The last bit was specially for Lush readers. Just don't overdo it, please.
The Waterboys, London's Roundhouse.
Colombian beans roasted in Italy, made in a coffee machine not dissimilar to the Starship Enterprise. Served at a garden table in an English garden on my day off. Croissants & pastries are optional. Any takers? I like to please.
You log on to Lush and there is a message from a sexy redhead, and they are fine & safe. Life is good when that happens.
In real life probably 6-10. I was married for 28 years. I had one fling with a neighbour during that time. Does cyber count?
London, outer suburbs near Wimbledon.
As an English gentleman nothing beats the feel/look of a well ironed white cotton shirt. Worn with or without a tie. Tucked in or untucked, You can even wear it with a dinner jacket if neccessary.
Still working at a TV news studio trying to keep everone updated. London is deserted it is very weird. People are finally getting distancing and the panic buying apperars to have stopped. The supermarkets have got controlled queues that work. The pictures we put to air are surreal, helicopter shots of Heathrow & Gatwick airports with row after row of parked aircraft. The outpouring of love and support for our beloved NHS is wonderful to watch. The downside is that frontine workers are taking a hammering. We have more dark days ahead. My thoughts are with my friends in the USA and NY in particular.
Sam Fender, A young songwriter from Newcastle. I saw him open for Neil Young in London's Hyde Park last summer. A very talented musician.
Experience, confidence, a willingness to try something new or different, honesty and in my book the realisation that it is not a race, we can take our time and both enjoy what we are doing with each other.
You can read that song on so many levels. I'm sure there have been PHD thesis written about the significance of the lyrics?
Hugging, cuddling & kissing are always a good start for me. The kissing should become progressivly more passionate.
No, I have no interest in fake huge tits. I prefer a natural breast.
Walking. It exerises everything & keeps you trim. You can adjust speed/intensity/distance at will.
I have to agree with Bria, investing in a piece of quality glass is well worth the effort. If I could draw an analogy? Doesn't fine wine or top quality whisky taste so much better when served in a crystal glass?
Classic English wooden frame, with a slatted headboard in a light oak from the Ercol range. Blue and white duvet and sheets, firm pillows. Currently only one occupant.
A straight answer from me would be, this man certainly enjoys kissing. It doesn't /shouldn't be seen as only as a prelude to sex. It is a stand alone gesture of affection, a reaffirmation of love. When it comes to sex kissing should be the beginning, the middle and the end. Always the end, golden rule.
There is a British Saxophone player callled Andy Sheppard, some of his long solo's are just perfect when you are getting started. I can't listen to early David Bowie without very fond memories of a wonderful relationship I had at college.
Yes, a really thoughtful and generous gift, but only if you trust one another.
Nowhere near enough. That said I would makesure my partner was comfortable with it first. I'm not really into facials I find the idea disrespectful.
Yes, very, if I read something I like I want to know more about who (and why) they wrote it.
I need to believe the story. I need to recognise well crafted characters and understand a little bit about them. I avoid catagories I'm not touching, like . There are certain writers I will always read. An element of chivalry or gentlemanly conduct is appreciated (I'm British) Above all I like the company I am keeping on this site.
I don't know if this counts? A few years ago a neighbour confessed that her husband had "gone off her" and preferred porn. At the same time my marriage was collapsing as my wife just gave up on life and let herself go. My neigbour and I used to meet at the gym and started cycling together. One thing led to another and soon we were having sex. It worked for both of us. We both got divorced but she moved back to rural Western Ireland. We stay in touch, we recently had a very steamy weekend together in Belfast while I was working over there.
