This is a work of fiction. Originally posted September 2022.

It’s no secret that I harbor a great love for playing a man’s body like an instrument. To deliberately stoke his flame and experiment with how many times I can bring him to the edge and back is the most arousing game. And to my lovers, the experience is profound. Yes, it is physically pleasurable and exponentiates the eventual release. And yes, it sometimes carries kinky connotations. But it’s deeper than that.

Most of the men I know are grieving the loss of intimacy in their life above board.

So to experience the palpable desire of a partner who is genuinely invested in slowly and languorously touching them, connecting with them, reading and responding to their breath – to be the recipient of such a deliberate giving of intimacy – reminds them that their pleasure matters and that their body matters.
