Enjoy what you see, and then go see Osbasso and The Other HNT for people who are obviously celebrating the holiday spirit.

Your Questions Answered

Britni: When you and BioMom (is that her name on here?) met Jen and T, you had been in a lesbian relationship for a long time. Did you consider yourself bisexual or queer, or a lesbian?

Me: I considered myself bisexual. I continued to be fascinated by penii – wanting to touch and taste, etc. But given that I was working, going to school, and taking care of my baby in the time between – I didn’t have much time to do anything else. And I had been hurt by men before, so was hesitant to do anything other than the relationship I was in at the time.

Britni: Did you ever envision yourself ending up in a long-term, monogamous (in theory; you know, a dyadic relationship) relationship with a man again?

Me: At that time, no. And I didn’t see it until this summer. And now, I don’t see myself with anyone else.

Britni: Or if you had told yourself 10 years ago that you were going to be in a happy, committed relationship with a man, would you have not believed it?

Me: Ten years ago, I would have believed it. I was 21 and in the military. While I was interested in women, I knew that while I wore the uniform, I would never step over that line.

**********

Melissa (no website): given your philosophy on nudity within your home…and raising your children to not be ashamed of their bodies or their masturbation within their home…how will you handle these situations when you are caring for other children as an occupation.

I think it would hard to have your children “change their ways” (not that i think they sit around naked and masturbating all day long), but as young as Godzilla is, getting him to understand there is a change in behavior might prove interesting.

Me: I have not asked that they “change their ways” about being clothed or not. We talk about how it’s cold outside, and clothing helps keep us warm. We talk about appropriate places to masturbate (at 3.5yo, my couch is not that place). We talk about how people don’t want to see their butt all the time. *shrug* The other day, the 3.5yo was naked for an hour or so before he finally got clothes on. His choice. No one cared. But it’s not like the boys are always naked or masturbating in the house anymore.

**********

Charliee (no website): At one time T was trying to restore his foreskin to repair his circumcision. He even had some posts up about his progress. Whatever happened to that effort? Was he successful? Did he give up?

Me: He stopped for several reasons. His job is very physically demanding, and having the device on was a problem. The boys were/are at the perfect height to run and head-butt his penis. That was (apparently) quite painful. And they still jumped on him. A lot. It doesn’t happen so much anymore, but he still has the physically demanding job.

If his job changes to something less demanding and the boys get older, then he might be willing to try it again.

**********

Kerry: I am wondering what you would recommend for two women who want to use more than a vibrator but can’t really use a strap on because of nylon allergy. Yes I am unique what can I say.I have looked at the strap ons and alot are made of nylon. Frustrating is an understatement.

Me: Look for harnesses with aslan leather or outlaw leather. The Jaguar harness is made with aslan leather. It’s really comfy, and I love mine.

**********

Chickie: What Britni and Charliee asked. And – were you married before? For how long?

Me: See answers for Britni and Charliee’s questions above. And yes, I was married to a man before. I married him in January 2001, and filed for divorce in June or July 2001. It was final March 2002, the month I got pregnant with Pman. He was someone I grew up with. Our families were friends, and I thought I was in love. It turns out he and I had different ideas about what married couples do with their time, together and apart. I haven’t spoken to him since the divorce was final. I have seen him on facebook, as we have mutual friends. But I’m not interested in going there.

Chickie: And why does this shock me so?

Me: I have no idea.

**********

Heather (no website): Ok, I have “known” you a long time…. But how did you get your nickname Monkey?

Me: When I was about 10yrs old or so, I was friends with a family who had three kids. The youngest couldn’t say my name, and called me Monkey instead. It stuck.

Heather: AND where in the hell did “chonies” come from? lol I’ve never heard that before you. Always me with the highly pressing questions… lol

Me: The term “chonies”, for me, comes from when I worked for the group home. Using the term “underwear” usually cause giggles and drama and reactions that were not mature. We wanted to build a mature attitude in the boys, and chonies is what we called any undergarments that the boys had. I like it so much better than underwear, or any other term.

Do you have any questions for me? Feel free to ask them here.

Toy Review: Tantus Ryder

So on Britni’s suggestion, I purchased the Tantus Ryder. Yep, her opinion means that much to me.

So anyway, I bought it from Sediva, since they had it for cheaper than a few other places, and I love the way they package their stuff. But now I can’t find it on their site. Whatever. It is 100% silicone, and mine is the purple one. And it’s really dark – they call it midnight purple.

So in my quest to actually get anal sex from the man I love, I started figuring out when and how I could get this in my ass during the day, (because we generally do the sex thing at night). Especially since now I have twice the number of small children in my home. Other butt plugs I can insert while in the bathroom (without laying on the floor), but I wasn’t so sure I was going to be able to do the same with this one. It’s a bit bigger than those. But I figured it was a smooth transition from small end to large end, I could do it, as long as it didn’t take much longer than the normal pee-and-get-out. Right? Right.

So I gathered the ryder and lube and went to the bathroom. I shed my jeans, placed a towel on the floor and squatted over it. Lubed the plug and my asshole and started to push the plug in. I had to breathe a few times, but it went in pretty easily. Nice! I stood, washed my hands, wiped excess lube off my ass, got back in my jeans and went back out to see what kind of damage had been done in the last few minutes.

Now Britni talks about it being comfy to wear long term. I agree, for the most part. I put it in at 10:23am and removed it at 12:13pm. It was fine, but my ass didn’t agree with wearing the plug and sitting in the chair that is at my computer. The tender skin right outside my asshole was getting pinched. Not fun. I plugged my ass again at 3:24pm and removed it at 5:27pm, as I was leaving home to run some errands and didn’t want to be plugged while I was doing it. Both times I had no issues, other than the one. I think if I hadn’t been doing a lot of sitting, it would have been fine.

Overall, I like it. A lot. Want one? Babeland has it for sure.

Recipe #6 and 7

So T asked that I find a choco chip cookie recipe that had butter instead of crisco. Here it is.

1 cup butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp milk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup semisweet choco chips

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. In a blender mix together butter or margarine, brown sugar, and white sugar. Remove from blender and add eggs, vanilla and milk.
3. In a separate bowl mix together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and chocolate chips. Add moist mixture to dry mixture and mix well.
4. Drop by teaspoon onto lightly greased baking sheets and back for 9 minutes.

First of all, I don’t own a blender, so I just mixed it in separate bowls. Second, I don’t like how they turned out. They were too flat for my taste. Although I did eat the ones that weren’t too dark. I have no idea what his official thought on them is, but he ate them. They couldn’t have been too bad.

If anyone has a butter recipe that makes fluffier cookies, then please share with the class. Thanks.

**********

Crockpot Potato Soup

1 can campbells cheddar cheese soup
1 can campbells cream of celery soup
1 can campbells broccoli and cheese soup
1 can campbells cream of chicken and herb soup
4 cans milk
5 cups diced potatoes, cooked until tender
1/2 cup onion, chopped fine and sauteed in 1 tbsp margarine
1 stick margarine

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Stir occasionally. Cook 4 hours on low.

I couldn’t find cream of chicken and herb soup – so I just used cream of chicken soup. I only used three cans of milk, instead of four. And I did the equivalent of two potatoes for each big person who was going to be eating, and one potato for each little person (even though I knew the little’s weren’t going to eat this). I didn’t use the onion at all, and I only did 1/2 stick of butter.

It turned out really fucking good. T, myself, PA and Tonk ate some. There’s leftovers for 3-4 in the fridge. Pman tried it, but didn’t like it. I knew that he wouldn’t, he’s pretty particular about his potatoes. We did find that it needed garlic salt, so I will be adding some the next time this gets made. Also, we put cheese on top. And we discovered that if it sat for a bit, then it started to get more solid as opposed to being “soup”. But damn. Good stuff.

There you go.

Toy Review: Tantus Tulip

I purchased this item from Sediva because it was the cheapest price I could find on the net. Seriously. I had heard so much about it from Britni that I knew it was something I wanted. Especially since I have a mission to accomplish. What, you hadn’t heard about it? Complete butt sex by Christmas 2009. Seriously.

Anyway –

It came in the mail and let me tell you, I am impressed with how they send their stuff. As of this writing, I have received two orders from them, and they were sent the same way. Priority mail box, toys inside, surrounded by enough tissue paper that THEY DON’T MOVE. That’s secure packaging people. I like it.

The tantus tulip is 100% silicone, which makes it a breeze to use and clean – just don’t use silicone lube with it. It comes in small and large, so make sure you are getting the size you want. I really liked the look of the shape of it as well, with it’s gradual flaring. And it looked like it would be a good fit and easy to wear for an extended period of time.

But it didn’t work out quite like that.

I got prepared to have fun. Towels, lube, vibe, dildo, butt plug. After I got warmed up, I started inserting the tulip plug. It was going good until the wide flare on the plug hit the second set of muscles in my ass. Then the pain came. I pulled it out a bit and tried again. The same thing. I decided to use the dildo in my ass to see if I could stretch it out a bit more. While that felt good, my ass just didn’t appreciate the plug. And no amount of breathing made my ass wanna take it. So I stopped. One should never force the butt to take something it is refusing access to.

So while it didn’t work for me right now, that doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. Britni reviewed it here, and you can see that it worked just fine for her. Although recently on twitter she mentioned that the tantus ryder worked much better for her. She didn’t have the pain at the flare like she does with the tulip. I have purchased the ryder, and will be trying it out soon.

Question Me

I’ve done this before, but don’t feel like looking for the post and linking it. If you wanna look for it, then be my guest. Probably within the last year, but I am not sure.

Anyway – if you have a question for me – any question – then ask it. I will do a public post answering the questions, so don’t expect your personal email response to have the answers. If your question is relating to something I cannot talk about publicly, then I will answer through email, and you may or may not get the answer you are looking for. It’s my blog, I can do that.

So ask your question – or questions, if you have more than one. Fun, serious, crazy, kinky, weird, whatever. I am an open book. Most of the time.

Toy Review: Hathor Aphrodisia Lube

Some of you have been around since (almost) day one and know that I am a one kind of lube girl. I found something that I liked and just stuck with it. It worked with all of my toys, tasted ok, and wasn’t super expensive – which was totally important, especially with how much we were going through.

Then this came up for review, and I thought “what the hell, why not”.

It arrived (obviously) and I opened it up. No funky smell. Good. Funky smell would be an automatic no. T says it smells a bit like vitamin E. I squeezed a little on my finger. It was thinker than I am used to. In a good way. I slid it through my fingers. It didn’t feel sticky, or leave a sticky feel after being wiped off. I decided it was worth trying out, and did so at my earliest convenience.

A couple days after the lube arrived, I received a few toys in the mail. And was way excited to test them out – at least the ones that were for me. So I set up my towels (I’m a squirter and did not want to have to wash sheets that late.) and my toys (One gallant vibe, one raquel dildo, one tantus tulip butt plug.) and got down to business. I noticed that I did not have to use quite as much lube with the Hathor Aphrodisia than with my regular brand. Which is good, since it’s just a bit pricier than my regular stuff. And while I did reapply (I was trying out the tulip butt plug.), I didn’t really feel like I would have needed to if I was just playing vaginally. When I had tested the toys and lube to my satisfaction (at least at the time), I cleaned up and appreciated that it did not leave a sticky feeling behind.

I did not taste the lube at that time, so cannot say whether it was eh or horrible.

If you are looking for something that is “organically sourced, vegan, and gluten-free”*, then here’s the lube for you. It’s safe to use with your silicone toys and easy when it comes to clean up. Click here and get some for yourself.

Thanks Babeland!

* Actual ingredients are: De-ionized water, vegetable propylene glycol (kosher), acacia gum, jujube zizyphus, siberian ginseng, horny goat weed and ascorbic acid.

One of his favorite positions for me to be in. And yeah, it’s one of mine too.
He took this pic, see the remote in his hand?

Go say hi to Osbasso and the folks at the Other HNT.
