The Truth: Feb 2011 Edition: Getting around town

In response to my February Frenzy: "The Truth" (and you can still ask me anything until 23:59 in your local time on Feb 28 ), I was asked the following by someone who shall remain nameless, unless they reveal themselves.

If I were taking a vacation to Chicago (say over Memorial Day weekend) what should I check out and what should I avoid like the plague?
So, I've been here for four months.  I spend most of my time commuting out to the burbs for work and hiding from the weather.  It's not bad overall, but I've been using the combination of weather and my knee being a little banged up as an excuse to stay in a lot. 

When I've gone out, I've occasionally hopped up to Boystown to meet folks for drinks at Sidetrack, ot up to Touché or Jackhammer/Hole for some fun.  I've been to the CHC play space a few times now that I'm a full member, and a have been to the Windy City Bondage Club a couple of times.

But as for coming to Chicago during IML?  I rarely leave the hotel during IML.  Everything I need is there.  Play space, people to play with, food, place to sleep.

If you're wanting a tour guide, well, I'm not the one to give advice.  I lived in NY all my life up until 2001 and never went to the WTC.  I never toured the Capitol or other gov't buildings when I lived in DC.  I'm not exactly a touristy kinda guy. :)

The Truth: Feb 2011 Edition: Petland - Pet play?

In response to my February Frenzy: "The Truth" (and you can still ask me anything until 23:59 in your local time on Feb 28 ), I was asked the following by someone who shall remain nameless, unless they reveal themselves.

I see you talk about all sorts of scenes but I was curious if you were into pet play at all? Do you like it, hate it, or is it just not your thing?
Well that's an odd question, and I guess there's a few ways to answer that. It first depends on your definition of "pet play".

K9/Zoo/Beastiality. Just to be clear right off the bat, I don't have any kind of sexual congress with real animals. You need at the same number of chromosomes and roughly the same number of genes as I do.

Human pony/human horse play. I suppose some people see ponies as pets. ...like pre-teen girls. To me, they're beasts of burden. Same with horses. Sure, the occasional horse-cock dildo looks fun, but that's a texture thing, not a "mounted by horse" thing. Seeing someone riding around on a sulky is not only not my idea of a good time, but is an active turn-off. Just seems too pompous to me (says the guy spouting his opinions all over the internet). So the idea of a human horse? Does nothing for me sexually.

Human dog/human puppy play. Okay, my official response to this is that I do not seek puppies or dogs. I do not look for them. I do not advertise that I'm a pup trainer. I never have.

That said, I've had 3 full-on dating relationships with pups. I've been with Rocket for almost 8 years now. Other than that, I gave Murphy the name Murphy, and frequently find myself with a stray nipping at my heels. Honestly, though, I don't go looking.

I don't play fetch. I don't keep a dog bowl. I don't keep a leash. I don't have a pup hood. I just seem to attract pups. I really don't know why.

Now, I know I've been answering this as a top. Lemme answer now from the bottom side of things. It's much the same answer. I don't get into puppy play. That said, though, I do tend to get . . . feral at times. I growl, bite, and turn . . . well a bit wolfish. I don't enjoy crawling around on all fours like a dog, though I do tend to sit on the floor in front of the couch when watching TV.

I think that should answer the question enough.

Testing - Maybe moving my blog.

This is a test.  I'm debating switching from livejournal.com to blogger.com as my primary posting engine.  However, I will continue to cross-post between the two locations... I think.

I've not decided to move yet.  I'm just checking out the waters.
