The first lover with whom I bought a dildo vibrator (18 years ago), ended up wearing it out using it to try to get a crick out her neck. (We didn't have a lot of sex)..This is why I tend toward the realistic cocks, and the packer is quite realistic (I am told), M bought it from a FTM site. Used only for fucking and sucking.  We have a vibrator for vibrating. I don't think I could do swiveling pink porpoise fucking at this date.

me), and after this very difficult interaction (reeling from which I wrote the  post and she read it) we talked.  It is, frankly, what we do best.  And this ability to talk through some very significant differences in our personalities and styles, this shared belief that what separates this relationship from each of our past relationships is our ability and our courage to talk, is the glue that keeps us together through many daunting and difficult challenges.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I am not usually one to give into a  low point, but I guess breaking up with one person and beginning a new relationship with another, in such overlapping order, is sometimes a bit too much stress, even for me. And I do wish to mindful of the stress this puts on M, as well. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And I agree that it is always important to face issues, and never to set them aside for &amp;quot;later&amp;quot; unless later is the next morning &amp;amp; you know that you are both committed to being there together.  I suspect the success in a relationship is not that you never fight or fail at times (human nature), but how you recover and heal and mend together.  We become stronger with each hurdle we help each over.  My relationship with M is more conscious and intentional than any I think I have ever been in before, and know this is true for her as well.   &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Thanks for taking the time to read and comment, I do appreciate your thoughts and advice.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2120685742459848590/4169862978106756946/comments/default/563805670474012908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2120685742459848590/4169862978106756946/comments/default/563805670474012908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://runningawaywiththespoon.blogspot.com/2009/04/salamanders-path.html?showComment=1239082620000#c563805670474012908' title=''/><author><name>Running away with the Spoon</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04799441476876993753</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10728978654152014718'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://runningawaywiththespoon.blogspot.com/2009/04/salamanders-path.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120685742459848590.post-4169862978106756946' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2120685742459848590/posts/default/4169862978106756946' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120685742459848590.post-7783551646610301807</id><published>2009-04-06T19:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T19:52:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>You are two different people with two different pe...</title><content type='html'>You are two different people with two different personalities and it sounds as if jealousy is rearing it's ugly head to boot. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Crack through those arguments now because if you don't learn to negotiate, they will sprout up sooner rather than later. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Sit down and talk.
