Flanked and tagged
December 17, 2006 | Category: Confessions, Lingerie, Sexblogs
Just over a week ago, I found myself tagged in quick succession (first from here, and then from here). I don’t know where this particular tag’s origin lies.
I’m not a fan of tagging, only because I find it hard enough already to find words I want to post here, without feeling additionally obligated, or steered in someone else’s direction. However, since I’ve been tagged twice on this occasion, it seemed churlish not to make an effort to respond.
The aim was to produce half-a-dozen things about you that were weird. Since this journal is about sex, I chosen to constrain the focus of my list to that perspective. Actually, I’m not sure if any of these qualify as ‘weird’ (it’s your privilege to disagree). But they’re uniquely me, so perhaps that will be sufficient.
Suffice it to say, I won’t be tagging anyone in turn (I know, I know - such a killjoy). But if you should feel the urge to add a list of your own to your blog, please do so.
- I have a real taste for 40’s and 50’s style lingerie. It’s often less revealing of actual flesh than more contemporary items of underwear (though that’s not always a hard and fast rule) but I tend to find it sexier and classier. I don’t qualify this taste as a fetish, since no woman I’ve ever slept with has worn any such items, and my ‘performance’ has never appeared to suffer as a result. But I do find imagery of women attired in such lingerie extremely alluring. In fact, I find it hard to imagine anyone not being aroused by the sight of women such as Bettie Page or Dita von Teese adorned in such deliciously retro apparel.
- By contrast, when it comes to more sexually explicit / pornographic imagery, I have no taste for those super close-up shots of genitalia. To my mind, the worst culprits are those people who use magnified images of gaping female pudenda - often with a sex toy inserted for maximum effect - in their contact adverts. Trust me folks: you’re not selling yourselves to best effect. Leave shots of that variety for inclusion in the “Gynaecologists’ Gazette”. The saying Less is more was coined for a very good reason.
- Actually, here’s one that might well qualify as bona fide weird. Ever seen (or heard of) the adult movie ‘Taboo’? Well, I find the scene in which the actress Kay Parker succumbs to her pent-up frustrations and desires and begins to fellate a sleeping Mike Ranger pretty arousing - despite the fact that they’re playing mother and son in the movie, and that incest is about as unarousing as things can ever get. I’ve concluded that my arousal has everything to do with Ms Parker’s portrayal of a woman succumbing to her hitherto suppressed sexual self, rather than anything else.
- Once upon a time, I was laid up in bed with a bad back, when - against my better judgement - I submitted to being given the most wonderful oral sex by an attractive (and rather insistent) woman, who had supposedly just popped in to check on me in my incapacitated state. As a result, I learnt that being fellated to orgasm is an astonishingly effective pain distracter.
- It’s always seemed to me that sex and modes of travel figure prominently in the minds of lovers and writers alike. Personally, I’ve long harboured the desire to make long, slow love on a train or a boat, or to fuck with desperate lust on an aeroplane or a Greyhound long-distance bus. I’m still waiting for (a) the right opportunities and (b) a partner with the desire to help me take advantage of them.
- Allied to my quasi-fetish for 40’s / 50’s style lingerie is my enjoyment of women in tan stockings. I like stockings, period, whatever their colour (though if I’m brutally honest, the more vibrant colours - the reds, blues, pinks and greens - are a little too garish for my rarefied taste). I don’t know why the tan variety happened to capture my imagination so completely; I can’t recall any particular experience that would have etched them so thoroughly into my sexual synapses. But show me a woman whose tan stockings are held in place by a white suspender / garter belt, and she will likely lay waste to my senses and powers of resistance. That may be why I have a strong inclination towards business woman who power-dress…

I got tagged with this one too. Due to in-law interference, I have yet to sit down and bang it out.
Ooooo. That sounded kind of pervy.
Fascinating list. I like your idea of turning your response sexual. I may have to follow suit.
“Bang it out”? I’m shocked to hear such blatant naughtiness coming from you, EB.
As to producing a sexual list - I’m not the first to go down that route. However, I look forward to seeing whether or not you choose to follow…

All I can say is thank God for the glamor of Page and Von Teese. It was hairy there for a while, where the most publicized models resembled junkies and whatnot.
I’ve got a thing for trains, myself.
I entirely agree with you on your assessment of many contemporary models, and on the glory of Ms Page and Ms Von Teese.
As to trains … you seem to be fortunate enough to live in a world where long, long train rides are possible. Those lengths of journey - ones that allow you to truly explore the fantasy - aren’t possible here. I think I need to start casting my eye overseas…

My wife and I agree that the genetalia of both sexes are not necessarily visually attractive. That’s not to say we don’t want to see them, just that the close-ups you complain about also do nothing for us. We’d rather see soft curves on a woman and well defined muscles on a man. I also agree that what good lingerie suggests can be much sexier the nakedness. And when I got tagged with this, it didn’t occur to me to do anything but sexualize it. Next time my back hurts, I’ll be suggesting something to my wife.
I don’t think that genitalia are necessarily unattractive, Al. It’s just that when someone holds a camera lens an inch away from them and presses the shutter release, something unattractive appears in 99% of the resulting images (IMO). I don’t know why. It just seems to take a *very* special photographer to achieve something that isn’t … tawdry … in such conditions
By the way, do pass on to your wife that I heartily endorse the au natural pain relief method…

Nothing weird about any of that EA, rien de tout, and you can take me on a slow boat any time you like
Thank you for the reassuring word, A. And for the tempting invitation…

Thanks for being such a good sport in regard to my “tagging you”. I read your response. I enjoyed it. I don’t think that anybody is really OBLIGATED to respond to tags. I think it should be purely voluntary. Thank you anyway. I like your sexy stories. *kiss* I love that tits photo with your hands on them…. YUM! Hey… are those your lover’s or wife’s tits, and those hands belong to you? Yum!
Glad you enjoyed the response to your tag, Linda. And I’m sorry to disappoint, but they’re not my wife’s breasts, nor my hands. Would the mystery owners care to identify themselves?

nice responses ..as to us business women…long black boots…barely black stockings…knee length flirty skirt with fitted top to enhance our upper assets…..is that what you consider power dressing ? if so.. x
Very, very much so, Kimmie. But I don’t think it’s especially fair to be provoking my senses so mercilessly in this way…
