Follow the link below and fill in your age and the number of sexual partners you've had and watch that number climb into six and seven digits. The idea behind the calculator is simple and is posted in a short article in the link so I won't reiterate it here. I will say that this, in my humble opinion, is a perfect object lesson in safe sex so it's definitely worth a look.

Excerpt

   I stripped down to my underwear and stood in front of the full length mirror attached to the back ofthe bathroom door. As I took in my reflection, I saw my thin farm boy build that only years of manuallabor can produce, and my tan skin, looking slightly pale under the harsh florescent lighting. Slowly, Iran my hand up and down my chest, bringing my small dark nipples to intense bullet points. Runningback down my torso, my fingers grazed the waistband of my white briefs. My cock swelled slightly as Islipped one finger under the elastic, feeling the soft patch of pubic hair underneath.   Days of working late and waking up early had deprived me of any company, not the warmth ofanother body or even my own left hand. The last couple of days had left me with a raging hard-on at theoffice, work sites, and just about every commute. My bulge strained the front of my briefs, the fabricslowly pushing outward as my cock rose with excitement. I needed to stroke one out very, very soon.   I pulled my hand from my briefs before my lust got the best of me. I turned the shower tap on as hotas it would go. It hissed to life, I dropped my briefs and stepped under the spray. The hot watercascaded down my skin, washing away days of stress and sexual frustration. Twenty minutes later, I wasout and feeling alive again. Scooping my dirty clothes off the floor, I went back to my room with mycock leading the way.   Letting my clothes fall to the floor, I sat damp and naked on the edge of the bed. The flaredmushroom tip of my prick stared back up at me. I knew Joe probably wanted to go out tonight, but myphone still hadn’t rung. I figured I had a few minutes to spare.

Fun with Fetishes: Puppy Play


Since the success of 50 Shades of Gray, interests in fetish and kink lifestyles have been on the rise. It seems like people are feeling more free to explore their once secret desires and I for one applaud it. As long as these practices are safe outlets for sexual expression that doesn't harm anyone it should be considered healthy and shouldn't be hidden. It's time to have Fun with Fetishes.

Recently I had to privilege to talk to an individual that not only embraces his fetish but takes pride in his role as a pup. I'll be the first to admit I wasn't to familiar with Puppy Play but with an increasing number of pups making appearances on apps like Scruff, Recon and Grindr I though it was time to change that. Recently, the Founder of the ATL-PAH and Midwest Puppy 2012, Pup Hercules was kind of enough to swap some emails with me and give me a crash course in the ins and outs of Puppy Play. Presented below is a small question and answer session we had just this morning.


Q: So, how did you get interested in puppy play?

I was talking to a friend from Kansas City, MO. We met up and during our play session we had a small pup play scene where he taped my legs up to keep me on my knees, wrapped my hands into fists and put a pup hood on me. I was instantly in love with it.

Q: What is your favorite part of being a pup/play scenes?

In my opinion, the best part is when you get to play with your handler/daddy/sir one on one. The scene gets more intimate and you get to create a bond you share between each other. There is almost no comparable feeling. It's true happiness for me when i'm on all fours, being a pet, held close and playing around with that person.

Q: Daddy and Sir? Those are terms popularly connected to Domination and submission. Do you see puppy play as another facet of the BDSM lifestyle?

There is definitely an aspect of Dom/sub in pup play. Such as Sir/pup, Daddy/pup, Handler/pup, there is also Trainer/sub and Alpha(pup)/Beta(pup). Being a pup used to be a punishment for "slaves" and "boys" in the sub community. As time went on this was not really the case anymore. Pup play became more of something that people enjoyed a lot and weren't "humiliated" by doing such things. There are a lot of pups out there who aren't into Dom/sub. They just like being a puppy and there's no shame in that. Those pups tend to enjoy being in the head space and being in that situation.

Q: I've talked to a few guys that don't see puppy play as part of the BDSM community, even though there are a lot of the same interests (Dom/sub, binding, leather and gear. Do you think the pup community should be set apart from other lifestyles?

I don't see it as separate. We are all one big community. If Dom/sub isn't your thing then it's just not your thing. We are all in the community whether you are into leather, rubber, gear, adbl, etc. I don't see any separation.

Q: Have you had to deal with any misconceptions people may have with the lifestyle?

Yes, one of the most common misconceptions is that pup play had bestiality in it. Which is 100 percent not true. We do not have sex with real animals. That is a whole separate fetish. Another one being that to many Dom's think that they can walk up to a pup and automatically claim it as theirs. I will just say personally, if someone came u to me in person their ass would be grass.

Q: Is there a typical relationship model that is followed in the pup community? Meaning is it more typical for a handler or sir to have more than one pup or a pup to have multiple betas?

It really just depends on who you are talking to. Me personally, I have 1 sir and multiple betas. I think I can say in general most people only have 1 sir. It really depends person to person.

Q: This may be too personal of a question but do you have sexual relationships with your betas?

I tend to. I don't usually take on a beta that I'm not physically attracted too.

Q: Is there any advice you'd give to someone who's new to puppy play? Safety concerns, setting limits, etc.

I would try and find a local pup group in your area. Make sure you have knee pads if your knees aren't so tough. Most importantly, you need to have fun.



I'd like to thank Pup Hercules; Midwest Puppy 2012 and Founder of the ATL-PAH, for taking time to answer some of my questions and hopefully dispel some misconceptions about Puppy Play. If anyone has any questions or comments about Puppy Play, I would look forward to hearing them.



I hope to make the Fun with Fetishes post a fairly regular thing but that takes helps from readers and people in different lifestyles. If you are interested in talking about your fetish please hit me up. I do have a few guidelines, all fetishes covered here must be legal (no underage, animals, criminal acts) and fetish covered will be at my discretion. I am not promoting or encouraging any kink or fetish but I would like to remind and encourage everyone to always be safe and play safe.

Self Promotion

With the end of the fiscal quarter looming, meaning I get that little statement showing how many people aren't reading my work, I've spent the majority of the day on a small media blitz. Posting promotional content with six different groups and trying to befriend two reviewer blogs. I figured the best place to end my nocturnal achievements is with my very first blog post.

I could got into a deep and "meaningful" spill about how I got started writing but I'd really like my first post to be all about my work. My first novella, "Sex Degrees of Separation", was released in February to sterling reviews by my mother, whom I made swear to never read a word of my work, and my roommate, long time plutonic life parter and proof reader. Below you will find a short synopsis and all the pertinent links where you can pick up a copy for yourself. Both Amazon and barnesandnoble.com have sizable excerpts to preview. I am also excited to announce that my second novella "Peter and the Wolfe" will be released by MLRpress later this year.

Please take a few minutes to peruse my goods and help support budding authors by taking a chance and picking up a book by someone you've never heard of. Getting noticed is hard and every author, no matter how popular, loves to reach out and touch new readers....or in my case having my new readers reaching out to touch themselves.
