If you've been tuning in

If you've been tuning in to hot action because all the rough sex stuff appeals to your prurient interests, you might want to skip this little bit of housekeeping.

Without trying to be too Aristotelian, I can identify a number of categories in which I might classify my relationships with women--professional, platonic, romantic, sexual. I might also add "musical" (or "creative") as its own category.

Yes, I think about sex a lot. But I never meant to give the impression that I was a ravenous marauder and that no female was safe whenever I was around. The whole point of being a slut is to have control of your own sexuality; therefore, it stands to reason that I would be able to hold my sexuality in check whenever I'm relating to women in a professional context. In fact, I'm probably better at doing this than an amateur might be.

I have many platonic relationships

I have many platonic relationships with women. In most cases, we've worked out our sexual issues long ago. A lot of my friends are women I've had affairs with, who have since moved on, gotten boyfriends or whatever; that initial spark we might have had when we met has been translated into just hanging out every now and then, sharing a laugh, having a good time. This is pretty much the way that I expect the world to work.

As far as romance goes...

As far as romance goes...

A man and a woman are arguing on a street corner. She turns around and storms off. After a moment, he takes off after her. He catches up; they stop and argue some more. Things get heated. Then it's the man's turn to stomp away down the sidewalk. She, in turn, runs after him. She's crying now. He's angry but speaks in softer tones. He touches her shoulder, and she melts into him. They embrace. Eventually they go home and fuck like a couple of rabbits.

This is what we call "romance." And I'm having none of it.

Either you get along with someone, or you don't. Life's too short for "romance."

My creative relationships with women

My creative relationships with women tend be very long-lasting and satisfying. Also ambiguous, as they occasionally cross over into other categories.

Here's why I like it

Here's why I like it when women talk dirty.

In the fall of 1999, I moved onto an abandoned army base with six other guys. The nearest female lived 20 kilometers away. Despite our isolation, we enjoyed many technological comforts on the compound, high-speed Internet access among them.

Over the course of a long cold winter (picture The Shining), I became a pornography addict. That shouldn't surprise anyone who's likely to be reading this site. Halifax was a two-and-a-half hour drive away; once every six weeks or so I'd make it back into town for a weekend of furious fucking. But mostly I was cramming my head full of JPGs until all I could do was walk around in dizzy little circles.

It's hard to imagine how I could have survived my time there without huge quantities of smut. But when I finally returned to civilization and started getting regular action again, I found that porn had damaged my sexuality. Images would invade my brain during sex. I had no way of turning it off. Some people might fantasize about pornographic scenes, but I found it distracting. It took my attention away from the moment and that was the last thing I wanted.

Fortunately, certain hot women had the ability to engage all of my attention. These were the ones who were fearless about expressing themselves vocally. It could be nasty language or sexy sweet talk, or any combination of moans, screams, squeals and whimpers. I would be "right there."

Considering I'm an audio engineer, I suppose it makes sense that the audible elements of sex would have such a powerful effect on me. Occasionally, you'll hear a woman say that she needs clitoral stimulation or some such thing during every encounter in order to be satisfied sexually. I think I may have found the thing that I need.

There are women who hardly make a sound during sex. These days, I find that unnerving. It kind of gives me the creeps when a woman lies there, silent as an image on the screen, leaving me too much empty space in my brain that has to be filled up from within my own filthy imagination. Makes me want to say, "Knock knock, is anybody home?"

Whereas there is nothing like a very vocal partner to keep me fully "in the moment."

Not to mention that it gives me license to make a bit of a racket myself...

I still like porn, by

I still like porn, by the way. Preferably when enjoyed in the company of a fun-loving friend.

For the Valentine's Day issue

For the Valentine's Day issue of The Coast, Halifax's weekly, they wanted an article about sex and the single life in Halifax. So they phoned me, for some reason. You can read the story here.

"There should be a magazine

"There should be a magazine called 'Sensitive Man's Monthly.' It could come out every 28 days."

-R.

Something I've noticed. Whenever I'm

Something I've noticed. Whenever I'm doing the "walk of shame" (or "going home in your party dress" as my roommate Sara puts it), women are far more likely to smile at me on the street.

At first I thought it might be because I smell like pussy, and women find that somehow appealing. But it seems to happen even if I have a shower before leaving the scene of the crime.

Perhaps it is something in my bearing, some subliminal clue I'm inadvertently giving off that makes me seem like someone a pretty girl would want to smile at.

I was mulling it over this afternoon when a cute girl walked past and flashed a smile at me. So I took a mental snapshot of myself at that exact moment. I don't think I looked much different than any other day. A little scruffier, maybe. I wasn't really smiling or anything, just deep in thought and sort of shuffling along on rubbery legs.

I like it when attractive women smile at me, so it would be great if I could recreate this appearance at will. I've tried, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

The other good way to

The other good way to get women to smile at you on the street is to put on a suit. Sometimes I get dressed up in a suit and tie and walk up Spring Garden Road just for the fun of being aggressively checked out by the ladies.

But eventually, it's back to the leather jacket and combat boots, which are invisible to the women with dollar signs in their eyes.

Today is rough sex day

Today is rough sex day on hot action.

There are a lot of women in Halifax who enjoy rough sex. I suspect most of them are unsatisfied, because they have boyfriends who are SNAGs (sensitive, new-age guys).

I tend to be dominant

I tend to be dominant sexually, although versatility is a more important trait. Part of the uniqueness of every sexual situation is that you can't always tell where it's going to go. Pleasure could lie in any direction.

Generally, though, I only tend to be passive with women who are far more timid than I, in an attempt to bring out their aggressive side.

Sometimes I'll meet a very

Sometimes I'll meet a very dominant woman who enjoys "beating up" men in bed. She'll be drawn to my arrogance as soon as I walk into a room and decide that I'm just the kind of conceited prick who needs to be taught a lesson. This always strikes me as rather humourous.

These poor women always wind up face-down with their arms twisted behind their backs, and me on top laughing. "Maybe by someone, but not by you."

Such circumstances do sometimes lead to explosive sex, but generally, two dominant people in one bed is not the most fulfilling situation for anyone.

I've met plenty of feminists

I've met plenty of feminists who enjoy being slapped around and called a dirty little bitch.

"No way, I don't believe it. That can't be true." ...say the male feminists.

Sensitive New Age Guys

I don't much trust the SNAGs. They're really nice to me to my face, of course. But they're worse than anyone when it comes to saying mean things about me behind my back. Halifax is a small enough town that you hear about all of this.

The worst part is, put them alone with a woman and they're just as sleazy as everybody else.

Rough sex is misunderstood by

Rough sex is misunderstood by those who don't practice it. It has nothing to do with degradation and certainly nothing to do with violence for it's own sake. It can be exciting to play with fantasies and taboos. But mainly I just find it's an amazing feeling to release great quantities of physical energy during sex.

Hot action should leave its mark on you, mentally and physically. I love fighting, wrestling, biting, scratching, slapping. I love bruises. They're sexy.

I love it when I feel like a woman is using all of her strength.

Remember these words, and you

Remember these words, and you will save yourself a lot of time and trouble: "If it were going to happen, it would have happened by now."

It's like being at a party, and it's getting late, and a Certain Someone leaves and you suddenly have this embarrassed feeling that you have no reason for being there now that the Certain Someone has left. Perhaps you'd been thinking that, by just hanging around, something wonderful might somehow happen.

Don't hang around. "If it were going to happen, it would have happened by now." Put on your coat, go home and get some rest.

And that way, maybe you can be the Certain Someone.

It surprises me how often

It surprises me how often I meet women who try to persuade me not to use a condom. It begs the question, how many of your other lovers were you successful in persuading?

"Well, for the past three years, I've only been with my boyfriend..."

And why did you break off with him? Because he was boning every piece of tail he could get his hands on. (...Oh, you didn't know?)

I use them, no exceptions.

Don't use Durex condoms; they

Don't use Durex condoms; they suck. They've failed tests on Consumer Reports and Street Cents. The only trouble I've ever had with a condom breaking was with a Durex product.

Lately, I've been enjoying those Trojan Shared Sensations condoms. They come in a bright pink box; you can't miss them. I notice a very pleasurable difference with these.

If you're serious about having an affair you'll go out and buy some.

A line from the play

A line from the play I saw tonight:"I swear, these Canadian men are under the pussy hypnosis."

Women control every flirting situation.

Women control every flirting situation.

Usually I'll try to remain calm and polite for the most part, injecting subtle hints as to where I might like the conversation to go and gauging the results carefully. It usually does take time.

Lots of women want to flirt, but don't know how to get started. Sometimes I'll be a little sassier; you've got to activate the sense of humour. If this proves difficult it's time to move on.

Hot website alert. Erin passes

Hot website alert. Erin passes along some tips for any guy who thinks he's going to get with a woman who "rates a five on the Kinsey scale [q.v.]." (My own score on the Kinsey scale: a big fat zero.)

Also, I came across a site called bazima that's run by a foxy young woman who's just won an award for "Best use of a blog to get dates and/or sex." The fact that you can get dates and/or sex just by typing on a computer is very inspiring to me, and perhaps explains why I am sitting here right now instead of gettin' down over at the Marquee Club.

Women in Halifax seem to

Women in Halifax seem to alternate between the need to settle down with a nice guy, and the need for some hot action. I'm just the guy women call up when they're between boyfriends.
