I am not worth your praise, that much is certain. Mine are merely tender words, fueled by the same fire burning within all lonely hearts that long to beat alongside another in harmony. ---

Alas, this poor explorer remains lost, his compass spinning, still chasing after the mirage. If only I could taste those cool waters upon my lips… ---

Geez, you said you can’t flirt, but to me you are doing an excellent job at making me blush and get all flustered. Excuse me, but there is just one word - DAMN! ---

Flirting? This? My dear, 'tis just the silly ramblings of a poor confused soul. For what chance would I have to brush your hair from your gentle face, hold your tender cheek in my hand, and mingle my eyes in yours? No, even if I could imagine slowly pulling your heavenly body close and pressing your trembling lips against mine, would such a thing ever happen? I don’t think not. Nor would you ever wind your arms around me tight, parting your sweet mouth ever so subtly so our lips could caress each other, first with care, and then growing steadingly, with wild, reckless abandon, and passionately grasping for each other we… That’s not flirting, is it? ---

Oh, god! Give me a cold shower! I need to go home. If only I were home, I could read this without worrying about what anyone else thinks. How 'bout I give you a kiss anyway? :ssssmmmmmerp: That one is just a taste. Sorry I can’t give you more at the moment. But you will know my every move sooner or later. 😉 ---

Male, 29, 19 or so male, 1 female (Does this seem really low for a gay guy my age who has been out his entire adult life?) ---

Male, 20, 3 partners all male. My Hubbie 26, 1 partner. I am a very lucky man. At times I wish I had a chance to experience more, but when you grow up gay in Idaho, and then get hitched the first year you are living away from home, (In the dorms no less) its how the numbers work out 🙂 Besides, I have a wonderful man all to myself. 😃 ``` I am the only one of my friends who did not go through a slutty (I mean that in the best of ways) phase right around coming out. I am not sure what **Aaron's** (Ma *husband*!) excuse is. ;) ``` Jeeves ---

I’m male, 35, never married, 15 partners (all female). Of those 15: Eight Caucasian, four of those blonde, one redhead. Seven Asians. Two (both Caucasian) significantly taller than I. One minor STD, treated and cured 11 years ago. And I’ve slept with one pretty she-male, but we didn’t do anything besides get nekkid. ---

32 year old heterosexual female, um…about 20 partners. I was really busy as a college student and then things kinda went downhill. ☹ No real problems that I can think of.
