I have been meaning to write more about my time in Tampa and things being rather quiet in porn this is prolly as good a time as any. During the first few nights there Lindsey, Al and myself went to dinner with a friend of theirs, I won’t name him but lets call him Luke. Luke had placed an ad on craigslist looking for a new girl in his life. He found one, well, sort of. he asked if it would be OK if he brought her to dinner with us. Of course it was and we were all sitting at the table at a Mexican place, along with some co-workers when Luke showed up with his new girlfriend. When she walked in we all turned out heads, she was tall and statuesque mixed Brazilian and Hispanic and dressed rather proactively, as she got to the table and sat down we all noticed that she had some, shall we say, masculine characteristics, large hands, an adams apple…I think you get the picture.
Now we are all non judgemental and open minded people, if they were happy..hey, God bless em.
Next day we were at he office and Lindsey asked Luke if he had “gotten lucky” Luke replied that they made out a lot and that he had gotten a good blowjob but that every time he tried to move his hands “down south” she cut him off. He said he didn’t know why because she had been so eager to give him head.
We all looked at each other, and Lindsey asked Luke if he had ever actually felt her up, again he replied that they got along great and he enjoyed dating her but she was always really quick to grab his hand before it got anywhere near her pussy.
At this point Al and I are fighting laughter and Lindsey is egging Luke on…Do you think she is saving it for marriage? Maybe she was on her period…maybe she doesn’t like sex or has herpes or something, she was relentless. At this point the whole office is listening in and most know what Luke doesn’t, finally Al says dude…maybe she is a transsexual.
The look on Lukes face wass priceless, it was like you could see the light bulb going from off to dim to bright….He says that would explain why she has bad breath.
Luke is in his thirties and is a pretty buff and good looking guy, he took it well and despite the teasing nobody said anything really derogatory, we were just all surprised that he hadn’t noticed what was obvious to the rest of us…beware trying to find a girlfriend or boyfriend for that matter on craigslist….And in all fairness she SHOULD have told him, which she clearly had not.
As comic as the whole thing was I thought about how different things had become in my 57 years on earth, even when I was in my early thirties that could have been a very different situation and I prolly wouldnt have handled it as gracefully as Luke had. I remember when homosexuality was thought to be a mental disorder and deviant behavior, obviously society has come a long way since then, I think your sexuality is as much a part of you as your hair color…moreso, you can change your hair color…but you get my drift. Something else I have noticed is that gay people tend to take their relationships much more seriously I know way more gay couples that have stayed together longer than most of the straight ones I know. And to those of you thinking that hey give marriage a bad name or make a mockery out of it I have but one thing to say Kardashians. People like the Kardashians and Britney Spears to far more to damage the institution of marriage than any gay couple I can think of.
Coming next I will post some photos from Tampa, compliments of the lovely, talented and very under rated Vicky Vette.

A Sign Of The Times https://t.co/5W2fRSyEsR
I remember when I was very young, I saw two transsexuals (very tall, unmistakably masculine, but dolled up to the 9’s) in a supermarket. I was a curious little kid and I wanted to say hello to them, but the look of shock and disgust on my parents faces stopped me. When I think back to that time, I feel embarrassed that they openly showed so much revulsion and hatred for another human being.
It all boils down to treating people as human beings, people that are like yourself no matter how different, and that showing others respect is a core tenant of being a decent human being. No matter who you are, where you live, all people have this in common: the desire to live a decent life, make a decent wage, and have the opportunity to pursue their desires freely. Truly, the free pursuit of (life, liberty) happiness is not only the law of the land (argue with me on this, I’ll point out that this brought about gay marriage) , but it is an idea that makes America an exceptional place, and as Americans we should all be proud of that.
I’ll leave this wonderful quote from the Declaration of Independence, with two minor alterations:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all [people] are created equal, that they are endowed […] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Great post Mike.
Im with ya Ivy but remember that human nature is to fear what we dont understand, I think we have come a long way in understanding human sexuality and that helps. Of course there will always be bigots who dont even want to understand and simply hate so that they can feel that they are better than someone….It was an interesting story and I thought I would relate it…
My mother taught us kids from an early age to treat other people the way you want them to treat you. Live by that rule and you can’t go wrong.
Your right, there is alot to know yet about the brain and human sexuality, but at least we live in a time when there is an interest in knowing more. Social issues are just some thing that I often think about, so in that respect, I have made an effort to learn more than what I knew originally. I totally get that people are afraid of what they don’t understand, but in the best circumstances, people can go beyond their comfort zone when they are ready. Some people, like you said, would never get to that point in their lives.
I think you had a very valid, and real point and its not only a great story, but it encapsulates very well the social change you mentioned in your post. There’s definite value in that, and is in fact,a brave move.
Lol ….Bad breath? Almost peed myself with that response … Cigars anyone? Still trying to wrap head around a guy past puberty falling for shy girl antics from a craigslist hookup.
