No, it's true. He really is a rocket scientist. We live in Southern California and he works for one of the big aeronautic companies out this way. Because he's a rocket scientist, it goes without saying that he's smart, and I like smart guys. He's also a few years older than me with salt and pepper hair and these blue eyes with crinkles around the edges that have seen a lot of the world. And I like that, too, a man whose knocked around enough to know his place. To top it off, he's pretty good looking in a brooding, Humphrey Bogart sort of way, reasonably fit (we won't talk about that roll around the midsection), and hairy in the right places. I like brooding and fit, and hairy chests and bellies and balls are a big turn on for me. You other girls can have those scrubbed down, lasered up boys&mdash;I want a noisy, sweaty, hairy man.<br /><br />If there's anything Ray's lacking it's creativity. Not when it comes to building rockets&mdash;he's plenty imaginative dressed in his white coat with calculator in hand. I'm talking about creativity in the bedroom. Don't get me wrong, he's lusty as the next guy, can even be a little kinky]]></summary></entry><entry><title>The Meaning of a Blow Job</title><category>Commentary</category><id>http://www.anightorchid.com/essays/2007/2/24/the-meaning-of-a-blow-job.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.anightorchid.com/essays/2007/2/24/the-meaning-of-a-blow-job.html"/><author><name>Alicia</name></author><published>2007-02-24T13:25:52Z</published><updated>2007-02-24T13:25:52Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<span class="full-image-float-left"><img alt="tn73.jpg" src="http://www.anightorchid.com/storage/tn73.jpg" /></span><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'times new roman'; mso-ansi-language: en-us; mso-fareast-language: en-us; mso-bidi-language: ar-sa">There was a time when a blow job meant something. <br /><br />I was reading an article about how junior high and even elementary school girls are lining up to give blow jobs to boys they don't even know. It made me feel a little prudish and a little old. And, in the end, it made me feel a little self-righteous.<br /><br />When I was in junior high, the word blow job was hardly spoken&mdash;at least by good girls like me. In high school, it was something you did when you got a little older with someone you really cared for. Although I have to admit, I had a really hard time believing my mother ever gave anyone a blow job. She just didn't seem to have the temperament for it. </span>]]></summary></entry><entry><title>Eros and the Eagle</title><id>http://www.anightorchid.com/essays/2007/2/24/eros-and-the-eagle.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.anightorchid.com/essays/2007/2/24/eros-and-the-eagle.html"/><author><name>Alicia</name></author><published>2007-02-24T13:23:52Z</published><updated>2007-02-24T13:23:52Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left"><img alt="1702_th.jpg" src="http://www.anightorchid.com/storage/1702_th.jpg" /></span>Most everyone has an opinion about the First Amendment and free speech. It&rsquo;s as American as apple pie or graffiti on a wall. </p><p>My opinion is that free speech means free speech. With very few exceptions, I think we should be able to speak or write about whatever we choose without government intervention. If I want to write and post a hot story about sex on the red-eye flight or at a convention hotel in New Orleans, that should be between me and my adult readers. I mean, no one wants George Bush or Alberto Gonzales looking over their shoulder while they&rsquo;re writing or wanking. </p><p>I suspect most visitors to this site share a similar opinion. </p><p>But, here&rsquo;s a dirty, little secret. Lean in a little closer, while I put my lips to your ear, my hot breath scalding you like sex itself, my hard little nipples pressing against your arm. Here&rsquo;s the secret. </p>]]></summary></entry><entry><title>Do You Masturbate (to your own stories)?</title><category>Commentary</category><id>http://www.anightorchid.com/essays/2007/2/24/do-you-masturbate-to-your-own-stories.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.anightorchid.com/essays/2007/2/24/do-you-masturbate-to-your-own-stories.html"/><author><name>Alicia</name></author><published>2007-02-24T13:20:18Z</published><updated>2007-02-24T13:20:18Z</updated><summary type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left"><img style="width: 209px; height: 105px" alt="15848911 2.jpg" src="http://www.anightorchid.com/storage/15848911%202.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1172323371917" /></span>Sometimes the question is poised in less obvious terms, but the implication is the same&mdash; </p><ul><li><em>Did this story make your panties wet? </em></li></ul><ul><li><em>Did you cream your jeans over this story? </em></li></ul><ul><li><em>Did you need a towel after writing this story?
