Just kissing boobs is.<BR/><BR/>But shaving with a knife would not be a good zone for me.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9728880.post-91471511816407702902009-01-14T14:24:00.000-05:002009-01-14T14:24:00.000-05:00Have never "almost" found sexual pleasure in anyth...Have never "almost" found sexual pleasure in anything except "almost" sex, Crummy.<BR/><BR/>Not money.<BR/>Not cars.<BR/>Not food.<BR/>Not drink.<BR/>Not nuffin.<BR/><BR/>Though do find "almost" in dancing, now that I think about it. <BR/><BR/>Chrissake you got me thinking ... being in love is an "almost" I guess.

Is it a mind thing or some calculated explainable event? You've see it before.

It typically came when I was surfing; I need to get back there.<BR/><BR/>There is a good book that tried to explain that feeling, it's called <I>West of Jesus: Surfing, Science and the Origin of Belief</I> by Steven Kotler. Despite the title, it's not religiously oriented at all.

When I get moving, in a rhythym, like shoveling snow or mowing a lawn with a push mower, I can get that clamor to quiet down and all I hear is my heart in my ears and all I can feel is the motion (but not pain) of my muscles. Then it's over and I'm surprised.

I was a hell of a pitcher and home run champ until breasts got in the way. My breasts ruined the zone.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.com
