Do you actually write as much as you talk about it?<\/p>\n<p>Ugh. Really? Am I awful and pretentious?<\/p>\n<p>Awful, yes. &nbsp;Not pretentious.<\/p>\n<p>Fucker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Heh.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not like I am writing the Great American Anything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No?<\/p>\n<p>No. It&#8217;s more like the Minor American Exercise In Mental Masturbation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It can&#8217;t be that bad!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, it&#8217;s not. But it isn&#8217;t significant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you want it to be?<\/p>\n<p>It started as a exercise in openness and vulnerability when I was trying to not be so private about everything.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You definitely don&#8217;t seem overly private now&#8211;you must have been successful. Don&#8217;t you think that&#8217;s significant?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, it really worked. Maybe it isn&#8217;t entirely insignificant. Not to me, anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What sort of things do you write about?<\/p>\n<p>Anything. Nothing. Some stories. Random thoughts. Conversations. Blowjobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So I take it your mother doesn&#8217;t read your blog.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sure she does!<\/p>\n<p>Even the posts about blowjobs? That&#8217;s awesome.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s pretty great.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So what do you say about blowjobs?<\/p>\n<p>Whatever happens to cross my mind. For instance, I might mention how it&#8217;s too bad that super huge guys never get good blowjobs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Guys always think they want a foot and a half long penis, but what are they going to do with it?<\/p>\n<p>Exactly. It isn&#8217;t going to fit in any orifice.<\/p>\n<p>Right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And biology and blood flow being what they are, it&#8217;s never going to be fully erect anyway. Like trying to use a firehose that only has a trickle of water coming through it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d pass out if you got a hard on.<\/p>\n<p>Exactly, and even if you found a woman with an orifice big enough to stick that firehose in, it wouldn&#8217;t work very well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why not?<\/p>\n<p>Friction. A semi-erect cock creates too much friction for penetration.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I suppose you&#8217;re right.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m definitely right. I&#8217;ve seen the principle in action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do tell?<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s too depressing. Let&#8217;s just say that getting something that size to deploy is a lot less fun than a sexual experience ever should be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And now I know what not to wish for if I ever encounter a genie lamp.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I can give you a size range of you&#8217;d like&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>No, no..I&#8217;m staying OEM all the way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a wise decision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thanks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unless you&#8217;re horrifically small or something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>No, no. Not at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It seems like that is something that should be disclosed ahead of time. To save embarassment later.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why not just have us marked in some way if we are out of the allowable size range for sex?<\/p>\n<p>That wouldn&#8217;t work. People like different sizes. You&#8217;d need specifics.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve given this some thought!<\/p>\n<p>Yes. And you know, I&#8217;ve changed my mind. I&#8217;d rather have it be a surprise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t looking forward to reporting for measurements, anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It would be a whole process. You&#8217;d need a fully erect measurement for it to be at all valid, and what if people were shy? They could be mis-categorized.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;re a little insane, aren&#8217;t you?<\/p>\n<p>Sure. &nbsp;By the way, this is exactly the kind of discussion that ends up in my blog.<\/p>\n<p>Really? Good to know. How am I doing?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll let you know once I write you in. Fine so far, I think. I&#8217;ll come off as a lunatic, but that&#8217;s normal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Can you make me taller?<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely. All of the men in the blog are around 6&#8217;2. Will that do?<\/p>\n<p>Sure. I don&#8217;t want to be picky in my debut.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You talk about writing a lot. Do you actually write as much as you talk about it? Ugh.
