Only on LifeLube

As you’ve figured out, people on TINA sometimes do odd things. The biggest pain to me was that sometimes they couldn’t focus on sex. Once when I was online I got an email from a guy who was interested in me. Tall and handsome, he was aggressive about wanting to meet me, which is always a plus point.

I went over to his place, and he wanted to slam, politely asking me if that was okay or if it would bother me. I said I was fine with it and of course he had to make the comment, “I only do it once a month.” How many times did I hear that over the course of a year? I still had no desire to ingest TINA this way. Eric and I had both made a pact we wouldn’t try it, even though the curiosity was there. After watching Hunter’s inability to find a vein on an arm that looked like a road map, I was simply too nervous to try.

I smoked some TINA from the pipe while he prepared his slam. He put a tourniquet on, and unlike Hunter who took forever to do it, he was in with the needle, out with it and the tourniquet was removed, all in just a short time. He twirled his arm around in a circle to get the circulation going, then there was the sudden light that would show up in a slammer’s eyes and bam they were all animal aggression.

He was fun in the bed department, but after forty-five minutes he suddenly stopped, jumped up and said, “Do you like Strawberry Shortcake?” “Well, yes ...” I replied, not really expecting to talk baking recipes right at that very moment.

“Good! I’m going to make you some!” and he headed for the kitchen. 1:00 a.m. on a Saturday morning and he had an apron on going to town. I’m not talking store bought shortcake and frozen strawberries, he baked the shortcake from scratch and chopped the strawberries. It took well over an hour, and I have to admit it was the best I had ever tasted.

After he put his plate down, he looked at me and said, “That was about the sketchiest thing I have ever done. I can’t believe I did that.”

“Well, yeah, nobody’s ever done this for me before, but thanks, it was delicious. I’ll expect baked Alaska next time.”
