No, but I wouldn't mind someday.

HYE been involved in a major news story (any level from community to global)?

Dragonforce

My exhibitionist streak says the former, my self-deprecating sense of propriety leans to the latter. I mean, who wants to see me naked?

You can become a supernatural being of your choice: Vampire or Werewolf?

Quote by WannabeWordsmith
One person's oral or blowjob is another's cocksucking and someone else's fellatio, so picking one for a category name doesn't always help everyone find what they want.

That's why we librarians have authority control with see and see also references 😋. "Oral Sex" might be the authoritative term with "See" references pointing to it from "Fellatio", "Cock sucking", "Blowjob", "Giving head", "Cunnilingus", etc. Or you could make it hierarchical with all of those as subheadings under "Oral Sex" (so "Oral sex -- Blowjobs", etc.). Or you could just allow all of those and put "See also" references linking them into a kind of tag cloud, but that's potentially even more complicated.

But to have a system like that, you'd need to build it from the ground up at site launch and have some people familiar with it to properly maintain it. You'd need things coded so that if someone tagged their story "Cock sucking", it would get changed to "Oral Sex" or suggest better terms based on your controlled vocabulary.

Yeah, there's a reason why we librarians are just so fucking sexy.😎

I have had cocks in my mouth but never had them finish. Not sure if I am terrible at it or if I am just picking the wrong guys and circumstances.

No, I would have to like them to really enjoy the sex. Not necessarily be in love, just like them enough to be comfortable in, and enjoy, their company.

HYE joined a club, church, or other organized community just to get closer to someone?

Though I have to confess I've never given just a handjob. I'm weak, what can I say? Too damn greedy.

Hmm. I need more experience with men, but I could see myself enjoying just giving hand in the right situation, esp. if it was mutual. Though I do enjoy a cock in my mouth the couple times I have done it so, yeah, maybe I would give into that rather than just doing a handjob to completion. Another experiment to try if I ever do get to live out my bi side more.😊

Quote by Just_A_Guy_You_Know

There are a number of redundant, niche categories that could be culled, or at least streamlined. God knows why we thought 'historical' had to be its own category, like nothing turns me on more than reading about Ancient Rome. 🙄 Steam punk, horror, monster sex, mind control, supernatural, fantasy and sci-fi should really all be rolled into a single category. I think the reason we don't do it is a bunch of people who got an omnium badge would whine that we're diluting their accomplishment. But these categories really serve no purpose on the site, and just clutter things up, in my opinion.

Some would argue categories should be scrapped entirely in place of just tagging everything accurately. On some days, I might argue that. Or just a few very broad genre categories with tagging for everything else.

The fact is, the categories here (and SS isn't much better) are not a well-designed hierarchy like library subject headings. No one sat down and figured it all out. Instead, they've been tweaked and changed and added to over time due to demand and owners' whims to the point where they are almost just a more important tag. I mean, just the fact that you have some based on form (e.g. Micro, Flash, the two Poetry categories), some based on genre (like the Horror and S-F that you mention), and some based on erotic content (e.g. I.F., Voyeur, Watersports, etc.) is a sign of a messed-up subject classification system.

However, I don't think there's a will or really a need to mess with it. It is what it is. A fight over changing them isn't really a productive use of the site's time and I say that as someone who, if he was spinning up a writing site, would definitely do it differently than here or SS. I would probably have genre, form, and content as separate groups of tags and just forget about categories. Provide a tag cloud or similar for navigation purposes along with a well-designed search.

Concert. Not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination.

Intimate performance in a hall or huge outdoor festival or stadium concert?

Beyond the Black

Probably Wicked though what I have heard of both doesn't really turn my crank.

Film musical or stage musical?

I went with "Yes". Love both. Rarely get either. Long story. Handjobs done right probably give me the hardest cum but I would need to do some experiments to test that hypothesis. 😏 For science, of course. 😁

No. Period intercourse once or twice but never oral.

HYE discovered a living relative you did not previously know existed?

Good question. I think I was aware of it fairly young just through cultural osmosis but actually viewing it came later in my teens. It was, IIRC, the erotica version of Alice in Wonderland that came out in the 70s.

Do you watch feature porn movies in their entirety or just enough to get off?

Root beer. Not a fan of beer.

Walk or cycle for exercise?

It is!!

Good afternoon. Weather is nice, my mood is on an even keel, work is happening. What more could I ask than a glass of Pinot Noir.

Almond, I think, though I like both. Had toasted sliced almonds on my cereal today, in fact.

Camp in a tent or use a trailer/RV?

I can turn any man or woman off by simply unzipping. 🥺😁🤪

Toying with a new idea. Private charter pilot gets a weird passenger to fly to a strange, off the beaten path airfield. Stuff happens. Not entirely sure sure what yet though. The dark fantasy writer in me wants something supernatural but I could also do some kind of weird non-supernatural thing with it, too. Not just "joins the mile high club" in other words, but something a bit more complex and plotty.

It at least got me to do some research on private air charters. Kind of cool. Expensive but not entirely beyond my means.

I used to drink these vodka-based berry-flavoured coolers back when I hung out in the grad club while doing my masters. Not sure if they are still on the market since I have not been in a bar or liquor store in eons.

Do you remember your college/university days fondly?

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Ape, I think someone has finally recognized your brilliance in a highly appropriate way!

🤣 That's great. And yes, that statue is HOT!! Ape porn, you know I love it.

Quote by sprite
No sex, but I've got a colonoscopy scope with your name on it

I had a bit of a thing for my wife's youngest first cousin (with Mrs. Ape's father being the eldest of eight, there are lots of cousins). Really attractive young lady who did some modelling and was one of the few family members fluent in English, i.e. who I could actually carry on a conversation with. Sadly died from an autoimmune condition in, I think, her thirties.

HYE broken something of sentimental value to your spouse/partner?

Quote by ziggyzagga

Hello Amanda, I'll give it a look. Is there a link or other way to find it?

ZiggyZagga

Tap/click her username at the top of the post to go to her profile and then the Stories tab on the profile. She's only got one so it's easy to find.😁

Aren't those basically the same thing? The forum software we use on the site where I am an admin lets us ban people from a specific thread and that's my preference for someone breaking thread rules.

Bad headache: take a sick day or push on through it?

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Mr Ape… a relative?

Cousin Charlie!! How's he doing??

(Actually, is that from Disney's Animal Kingdom? Because that's where I took the photo I use for my avatar.😊)

I think we just caught the edge of that storm. Got just enough snow to justify a pass with the shovel. It has been two or three weeks so I won't grumble too much this time. At least we aren't shoveling every other day like we were in January.

Darjeeling and a couple cookies.

I have a new story idea but I am kind of unsure where to go with it. It could be a wild fling romance thing or I could pull out the stops and get a bit weird with it.

Stay home. Maybe write. Maybe do something else. We'll see.

Watch movies or binge a TV show?

Never wear underwear forever. Though maybe I should try nail polish before I say that. 🦶😁

Ice cream in a bowl or on a cone?

No, but drunk enough to know that I should not get drunk.

HYE bought a round for the house in a bar?

Sadly and embarrassingly, yes. I wrote her a poem (a romantic one, not a dirty one) and handed it to her in public. She was one of the smartest girls in the school and part of the ruling clique. Needless to say, nothing came of it. Still think about her at times, though.

Of personality, intelligence, and physical beauty, what do you look for most in a potential partner?
