Life is short so I think it’s awesome if a couple just decides to go for whatever gets their libido going. I can totally understand the stigma that comes from a man not behaving or dressing masculine and the fear of judgement from other “manly” guys but honestly, if I came across a dude who was dressed up by his lady I would just go along with it. Bonus points if I couldn’t even tell that it was her husband/boyfriend initially.
If the play stays strictly in the bedroom, then all the more I say to go for it and to not worry what anyone else thinks.

My career has been made in a sort of weird intersection of blue and white collar roles. Currently, I’m in regulatory enforcement (safety, permitting, etc) so just picture people in a formal office setting but with steel-toed boots, dirty hands, and equal parts cubical-time and shop-time.
I hear cursing CONSTANTLY. I’m getting better about not swearing as much as I used to cuss but there is practically no filter on anything (within reason - e.g. slurs wouldn’t be tolerated of course). I would describe it like this:
“Hey, could you hand me that hard hat?”
-no response-
“Hey, that hard hat, could you hand it to me?”
-still doesn’t hear-
“Hey! The hard hat!”
-crickets-
“Hey! Fuck! Hand me that fucking hard hat!”
-wakes up from day dream and hands over the hard hat-
Something about cursing just seems to wake people up to pay attention, like whatever follows the word ‘fuck’ or ‘damn’ must be important.
I always try to limit my level of cursing to the situation and audience at hand but even if I curbed my swearing down to zero I would still hear it all the time. It’s basically just a part of the industry, like it or not. Engineering is also a mostly male-dominated field but fortunately I’m seeing more and more women come into the fold as time goes on. And yes, it seems the gals curse pretty much the same amount as the guys.

If it sounds like he kind of music a bunch of 20-year old college girls would enjoy dancing and singing along with then there is a good chance it gets played by me much more often than I care to admit.
Examples: Ariana Grande or Taylor Swift
There are also some songs or artists that aren’t impressive from the perspective of playing or vocal ability and can be a bit generic sounding in some regards but due to the suggestive lyrics I get sucked right in.
Examples: In This Moment and Iggy Azalea
And sometimes I like some music simply because it is weird and that most people would find it too odd to be enjoyable.
Example: Neil Cicierega

Obfuscation - A big, not-readily understood word which can roughly mean to make something not-readily understood as a result of using big words. It’s meta.
Sprinkling - A type of rain which, when spoken, sounds like the noise said type of rain makes when falling on a metal roof.
Antepenultimate - Means third to last but it’s just a fun word to break down for its many roots. It would be considered to be a big word in Enligh but in Spanish {antepenultimo} it would not be considered to be a big word as the parts of it (e.g ante) are commonly understood words or prefixes.

I’ve been to some rather memorable ones. Three years ago I took a trip to the Bahamas and thought that every beach around Freeport was beautifully picturesque. Over a decade ago I vacationed on Martha’s Vineyard and spent every minute of daylight in the sand and surf. Malibu was incredible the one time I went but it was a bit too posh for my taste.
Probably my favorite beach overall would be the one at Ocean Shores, WA.
I went there dozens of times as a kid so it holds a special place in my heart.

It’s tough to narrow it down to just a single experience but some of the best sex I’ve had tends to have occurred in hotel rooms. There is something about an unfamiliar place that makes it exciting and those big beds and thick comforters are perfect for rolling around. Plus, many of the other pieces of furniture make for great fun (chairs, couch, desk, etc) and the shower and bathroom counter are a blast for getting wet and wild.
Perhaps that’s why it never weirds me out to imagine other people who were in the room before me and all the sex and masturbation that likely occurred. To be honest, that’s what I often wind up using it for too, haha.

If I’m with another person I typically would rather be fucking them instead of having them just watch me jack off.
Normally I want privacy as masturbation is really all about that cerebral release, usually involving some sort of fantasy or memory. Having another person there is just too distracting to escape fully. Plus, it can make me weirdly self conscious about the sounds and faces I am making instead of letting everything go naturally.
I have jerked off in front of someone before. In both cases they were people with whom I was in a serious relationship and it was because they asked me to ‘give them a show’. Something about being asked to do it takes the edge off and can really make it fun. Being caught or walked in on has the opposite effect and can totally ruin the mood for me. Hell, I won’t even have the sound on in porn unless I know the house is empty.

I’m not hard-up for conversation with a lady so if she states upfront that she’s not interested in talking to men on Lush, I let it be. Once in a while I’ve been fortunate enough to have had temporary exemptions made in my case for a few days or weeks (some of the “no men” type have approached me from something I said in a chat room or forum) but it never lasts for too long. Some women only want other women as friends and I think there’s nothing wrong with that. Whatever floats your boat.

When I want to compilement a gal on something physical, be it the way she looks or maybe how she is dressed, but I don’t want to risk it being recieved the wrong way, I try to stick to words and phrases that I’d use for a guy.
“Hey, I’m really not a boot person but I’m a big fan of those boots.”
“Did you get a haircut? It looks styled. It’s got a professional look to it.”
“Where did you get that jacket? That’s a cool jacket.”
Once I have enough of a report with a chick where I can say things like, “You look hot in that dress,” without it coming off the wrong way, I will. Until then I keep it casual.
Now when it comes to intellectual compliments I’m unfiltered. If she says something smart, clever, or funny I won’t hold back on letting her know.

I feel bad for not watching the Winter Olympics this year as it’s only on also many times per decade but I just haven’t had the time. Plus my cable box hasn’t been cooperating so there’s something to be said about a lack of ability. Fortunately I have been able to catch highlights on social media and that’s better than nothing.

My first time I lasted longer than she did so I felt like I did a good job. Truthfully I just got lucky she came so quick as I was bumbling and clueless. While the experience felt incredible it was also a little underwhelming as, in my mind, I had made sex to be this great thing and expected to have it be that way my very first time. I didn’t yet know that said great sex only comes with experience (which I have had since).
Those first few times basically felt like a really good masturbation session: satisfying but not mind blowing.

INFP: the mediator and dreamer.
Sounds mostly right although there were a good deal of questions on which I was unsure so I’d be curious to see how the result would change with a few variations. However, I think that just by wondering that it sort of confirms the result, ha ha.

I’ve never masturbated when at work as it’s just too weird for me. It’s my place of business and I know EVERYONE there.
Still, I’ve chatted on Lush at work and viewed porn on my phone while at the office (e.g. browsing Tumblr) but the pants stay on and the hands remain above the waist. It’s more of a fun way to let off some stress and clear my mind instead of looking to get off. However, if the mood is too strong for me to fully resist I will admit that there have been a few times that I’ve left for home a bit earlier than the usual quitting time.
That being said, there are a few times that I have jacked off in a company vehicle but it was always off the clock and when doing so was the only available option for privacy.
Although if masturbating in a hotel room while on a business trip counts...

An engagement ring is definitely not something to give just because of a holiday which dictates that a gift should be given. If you are ready to make that commitment and think that the timing will make for a nice backdrop, go for it. Otherwise I would recommend something thoughtful that lets her know that she’s on your mind.
For example, it sounds like there is some long-distance dynamics at play. A good idea to work with this would be a pillow or stuffed animal scented with your cologne so that even when you two are apart she can imagine that you are right there with her.
Or perhaps she has a pet name for you or there is a place that holds a special meaning for both of you. Either way, maybe it’s something that could be represented as a charm or a symbol. Give her a necklace of said icon, letting her know that if she feels like a part of her heart is missing (i.e. you) that there is a spare piece right there to make things whole again.
Better yet, you could try and recreate your first date, although that depends a great deal on what said first date was. If feasible, it holds with it a great deal of possibilities to pause and reflect on the time you two have been together.
This could also be a great opportunity to introduce her to a hobby of yours that maybe she hasn’t quite taken up. Play guitar? Get her one. Love to camp? Get her a hiking backpack. In to video games? Get her an Xbox. It’s kind of a niche idea but it has some latitude.
All together, it really just comes down to what YOU want to get her. If you are really stumped, close your eyes and take all logistics out of the equation (e.g. cost, timing, ability, etc) and try to figure out what you would get her if you could get her ANYTHING. Just anything at all. Come up with things and take them seriously as ideas. I think you will be surprised just how doable some of them are and there may just even be one you choose to go with. The world’s your oyster.

I can control my erections... somewhat, but it takes a degree of concentration. Usually things down there are responding to whatever is or is not going on but even then it gets hard sometimes for no reason while other times it stays limp even though I’m feeling a little horny.
It’s basically like having a small pet. For the most part it behaves like you would expect and will even react to given commands with practice but sometimes it will go off and do the exact opposite of what you want.

I watch porn and enjoy it.
Of course I like a gal who has similar tastes and interests as I and porn is no exception.
However there are certain... genres for which I don’t really care but for the large majority I am more then game. Odds are that whatever she is in to, I am as well.

There are a few.
- A girl I made out with on a dance floor but never really saw again.
- A coworker who invited me to a boxers and lingerie party (the only clothes allowed to be worn) but the timing just made it so I couldn’t take her up on it and she never made a second offer.
- My old roommate before she went to jail although that one was definitely for the better.
I think the one that stands out the most in my mind is Emily.
For my senior Homecoming dance my buddy and I took girls he knew from the nearby college (they were freshmen) and I completely ended up crushing on his date. After the festivities they invited us to a house party but my friend didn’t want to go so I tagged along solo. It was my first ‘college’ party so everything seemed wild and exciting even though, looking back now, the party was pretty tame if not boring. I ended up talking to both girls all night and got their numbers with the promise to hang out again later (which ultimately consisted of going bowling one time). Being a dumb, clueless teenager I didn’t pursue things like I could have and by the time I finally tried to make a move (two months later) the one I liked had just started dating a guy the previous week.
Her and I stayed sorta-friends for a few months after that but life just took us in different directions. I went off to college and she, as far as I could tell, wound up with a military guy (years later and a different guy from the boyfriend) and ended up getting married and moving around a bunch with him. I’m happy with my life now but every so often I think about her and wish I had been more suave and had made a move sooner. Even now I can still recall how gorgeous she looked that first night in a borrowed-at-the-last-minute dress and how every time she bit her lip I got the urge to lean in and kiss her.

"One condom on hand is never enough. You will always need another rubber available so stock up even if you don't think that you'll need them." -a friend of mine, back when I was still a virgin
Safe sex is important to practice and there is unique kind of disappointment that comes when you are in the moment, go to put something on, and find that the box is empty. It hasn't happened to me often but when it does, it sucks.

I use air travel fairly often for work and a decent amount of time for personal needs. In the last six years I've had close to thirty layovers in Denver alone but I'm sure that there are many out there that are easily beating my numbers. I used to be intimidated by planes, especially during takeoff, landing, and turbulance, but now I pretty much sleep though all of it. I think it just depends on how familiar one is with the process and how much faith they have in the pilots and equipment so I can totally understand a newcomer being extremely uncomfortable. Regardless, it's undeniably enjoyable to look out that window at 30,000' and get existential no matter who you are.

Who made the rule that guys can't have long hair?
Various managers that I've had over the years have deemed long hair on guys to be unprofessional. Some customers and clients, I suppose, consider it to be unpresentable. A few coworkers or friends or family will occasionally make 'hilarious' comments at conversational level and unflattering comments sotto voce.
True, nobody made a rule that guys need to keep their hair short but it definitely feels like there's something in the aether dictating it.
