Hi Bashfull!!!

Just saw that this was your thread, so had to pop in....

I do think so. If I can be both, I think a guy can too. I am sure there are plenty of men out there who are completely polite, romantic etc during the day, outside of the bedroom. But get them going, and they can be as dirty and raunchy as the next guy. They are just the ones who have learned there is a time and place for everything....

And dear - I'd be willing to wager you were one of the above....

Thanks for stopping by, Boz. For those of you who don't know her, Boz is one of the sweetest ladies of Lit. A true noble with a beautiful thread of her own.

And shucks, ma'am, are you implying that I know how to "warm the covers"? ;)
 
I would like to believe that all people are capable of being either romantic or raunchy but I know that isn't so. For some their tendency is more toward one than the other, they can play act at the other side but not with any given level of comfort. The true men who can be comfortable in either position are the jewels.

Consider that there are three seperate aspects to sexual intimacy:

making love
having sex
fucking

Any one can lead into the other, be it speeding up or slowing down. You can make love without ever acheiving penetration, without touching in fact.

Romance........back some months ago I asked someone to send me a rock, I love rocks. That rock came, then others, some from the shore, some from the roadside, some from specialty shops -- just rocks because they are something special to me.......that is romance. Going out of your way to remember and provide that little something that makes your partner smile.

And I know a Lady...she calls me. She leaves me "I love you" voice-mails. She shares the details of her life with me. Her fears. Her dreams. Her desire to hold me and be held. Pictures.

And she cares when I hurt.

Not much in some people's books. But everything to me.

Sounds like you have a very special lady. And if I'm not mistaken you deserve someone like her.:)

To the former...indeed.

To the latter...I don't know that I deserve her. I do know I want her and need her.

Who's your Daddy!?! Sorry, hon, I just couldn't help myself. lol. Welcome the thread. And thank you for posting.

Thanks for the welcome! And don't worry I like bringing smiles to others! And as per request....

I met a Marine online a little over a year ago. Over time we become really close talking on the phone and emailing along with chatting. We have been able to talk about any and everything. Last Feb. I had an abnormal mammogram (every women's nightmare) and had to have a follow up appointment with a surgeon. Needless to see you all can imagine how scared I was at 28 going through this. The day of my appointment he left me a message on my phone knowing he wouldn't be able to talk to me till after my appointment sometime. He wanted to let me know how much he cared and would be here for me no matter what. I still get teary eyed thinking about it... it is the only romantic thing that has happened to me in years.

BTW for those that are curious. They think it is nothing but I do have to go back every 6 months for follow up exams. LOL Like I told him... well this is the only way I am going to get felt up it seems!

Glad to know they think it is nothing. I lnow it's hard going through something like this at all let alone by yourself.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Good luck!
 
Thank you

Thank you very much Hornymama... yes it is hard going through this alone. I have friends here for me but none of them are male. The female one's know what I am going through but it still would be better if I had a man to hold me when things like this happen. My last boyfriend was someone you couldn't go to for anything like this. When I was stressed over a few things going on in my life (not going spastic just saying I had a lot on my plate so to speak) he informed me I just needed to "chill out" that everything was going to be fine. Needless to say I knew things weren't going to work out for us and broke up. Now I did shed a few tears but quickly dried them up when he walked to the other room came back wtih a tissue and asked if I was done yet.LMAO Then wanted to know if I was going to still stay for supper. I didn't... :) I knew my life was much better without him! His son was better at feelings and caring then he was. If I could have kept the son as my own and got rid of the Dad things would have been better!

I am quite sure that there are many who, if they knew you in the right time and place, would be happy to 'feel you up' (in a good way).

Someone close to me is scheduled to undergo surgery for breast cancer this week. I'm thankful that she has a strong and wide support network, and that I can be a node in that network.

Ay, there's the rub. So many of us misguided males haven't quite mastered the idea of identifying the 'time and place for everything.' Seems I meet women all the time who have suffered from the company of men who believe that the time and place for raunch is on-line, all the time.

;) Thanks Roman. I am sure one of these days I will find someone to not only "feel me up" but also cuddle with me!

Now please extend warm hugs and prayers to your friend from me. I work with a woman at the hospital that at the same time as my mammogram found out she has breast cancer. Attitude is everything and a good support system. She lost her breast but she didn't loose her sense of humor or her great attitude. She was my inspiration.. that and the song by Jo Dee Mesina "Bring on the Rain". She is at home now but plans on coming back to work as soon as she can without being sick.

Awwww... thanks Bashfull. Sorry about taking so long to reply - I've been so freakin' busy.... should check out my new bitch... LOL... it's a doozy! What huge compliments you give me.... I am blushing now.

I might be implying that.... I wouldn't know.... but I'm willing to hazard a guess that you'd be the kind to have fun, let loose, and take care of your woman.....

I'll see ya around... gotta run and bitch now... LOL

Romance need not be measured in quanity, but rather quality. One great romance is more significant than a lifetime of emptiness.

i am in my second marriage to a wonderful man. My first husband didn't know the first thing about romance, I never got a flower, a card, or ever had a birthday or anniversary remembered. When our son was born the hospital gave you a candlelight supper before you went home with your new baby. Well, I had mine with my dad because my ex thought it was a silly thing to do.
I have been married now for 20 years to this wonderful man.
he never forgets my b-day or our anniversary. He will bring me flowers just because he knows i like to get them. It's all the little things he does that are so special. Sometimes just a little squeeze or some small gesture is worth more than any thing else.
it's easy to get love and lust confused i think but being soulmates is by far the best gift you can have with someone.

Very True HornyMamma!! I am soo happy that your second husband shows you the love and romance you need!!!

Every woman and man deserves to be made to feel special. Whether it is a simpe gesture of affection or a ;) and naughty look to make your heart skip a beat! And everyone knows the look I am talking about. It is neither romantic, raunch or obscene. It is just a look that says it all "YOU, ME NOW!"

btw to everyone... Happy Halloween!! and dont' worry the AV will be down after Halloween. Unless of course I have someone that thinks she is sexy then I might keep her up a little longer!!

And thank you for the compliment.. I know the men will just be dying to kiss her!!!
 
HI Bash, how are you today? :D :kiss:


Romantic Setting: Waterfall with a picnic beside it. Beautiful green grass with wildflowers spread out. Nice big shady tree. Just two people no one else around. Too bad its only a fantasy.

LOL nearest waterfall to me is Niagara Falls.

Howdy, ma'am. Always a pleasure *taking and kissing your hand*

so, are we at the top of the falls or at the bottom?

*blushing* why thank you kind sir. And I think the bottom with a nice calm pool of water.

Nice calm pool of water, with the raging torment of the falls. Hmmm. I see the similarity here of Romance and Raunch. Calm demeanor with torrential passion lurking in the background. You do know how to strike an image, dear. *pouring you another glass of wine**

Thank you for the wine. So you like my idea of a romantic setting?
