After this past weekend, just thinking of the upcoming cold winter brings a tear to my eyes [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

I know what you mean about the closeness factor. It has been a rainy over cast day today, the same as yesterday. The kind that makes you just want to curl up on the couch and snuggle your someone special and watch a movie while eating popcorn, or even better, stay in bed all day and get in shape for the olympics!! <P>As for all nighters go, never had one. Once until about 4 am is as late/early as it got. But talk about a fun night!! <P>Take care of yourselves!!!<P>-Java

You guys are shameless!<P>I had an all-nighter one time. First and only time in my life that I was "all-sexed-out" haha [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Winter in Colorado is fairly mild--50 degree days and 30 degree nights with just the occasional blizzard--and I am a warm-blooded person who is rarely cold. It is the "chill" that I am feeling right now. Winter is so much warmer with someone to snuggle up to under a blanker and play footsie with! Guess I'll take stock in a hot chocolate company.<P> CJ

Hot chocolate, hot tea, glass of wine. <P>And whine about local friends who poop out at night before I truly wind down. And no computer at home. And too many bills to afford one.<P>And no one to warm my bed. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]

Try an electric blanket and a body pillow. It's really NOT the same, but it's better than getting into a cold, empty bed.<P>And oh how I miss playing footsie under the blankets!

CJ-<P>Grew up in Denver...moved away...moved back before on to the Midwest/Chicago.<P>Ok...yes the water slide was great but 80 lanes of bowling was pretty wild too! One of the hang-outs...very close to Celebrity was a great neighborhood bar/restaurant called The Glendale Country Club a.k.a. the Riveria...across the street from Murray Automobile Imports...best all beef burito and chips w/salsa...and a ice cold Corona [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] Have not been back in a while but...great memories. What about the submarine races [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] at Cherry Creek Dam? And...Cinderella City...did all that parking finally crumble with the buildings? I remember when John F. Kennedy High School was on the edge of the earth!<P>How did you be such a patient woman for 5 years?? You have to be one of the most patient women in the universe! You deserve the award [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]you really do...<P>mr rlk<P>

mr rlk,<BR>It's nice to hear from you. Here's a memory out of my old Denver hat: The Bull N Bush and Glendale in it's entirety! I had more wild times than even this Sex Thread could tolerate. BTW, the Bull N Bush still stands and is now being run by the sons! Kinda cool huh?<P>I have a good question for you all. I was thinking about this last night, and I was wondering, what did sex mean to you--other than the obvious physical pleasure. I'm pretty sure we can all agree on that part. But, I think it means different things to different people.<P>To me, sex always meant complete vulnerability and openness to one person. I felt accepted and loved even though the other person could see all my little flaws. It was safety and comfort. It was selflessly pleasing someone else. It meant I was wanted. <P>Okay. All the footsie and snuggling and spooning is important, but the part I REALLY miss is feeling wanted. <P>Tag, you're it. Your turn.<P> CJ

Yeah, well I was about as close to a ??-y-o virgin as you could get. If you exclude the two bambinos.<P>But after 5 years, you get your virginity back. Part of it was wanting to reach that 5 year mark. And I was date raped the first time I ever had sex. So that made it easier since there wasn't a guy around to whom I was willing to surrender my virginity and I felt like I could choose this time.<P>It's also due to having a good friend whose husband died of AIDS.<P>Hey, if I can wait that long for sex, how much other remarkable stuff can I accomplish.

Utter closeness, warmth, feeling attractive, desireable and loved. Having someone who trusts in you and cares enough to let themselves be vulnerable to you and allow you to make them feel the best feeling in the world, completely connected with another human being.<P>Sigh...<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain and makes the sun come out again

Please don't make me gush all over you again, Nick. I can't take that much honesty in one day. Let's just say that I concur with your statements 100%, and it makes me sad. [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] But please see the thread "Were you open about sex?" because you are so meaningful to us all here. Know what I mean? I will never, ever be able to repay the debt I owe you, and I know it's not the same, but feel the warmth, buddy, because it is definately aimed your way. {{{{{Nick}}}}}<P> CJ

Ok gus, I have only driven through Danver, but as far as the sex thing goes...<BR>I was faithful to my h, for over 19 yrs total. I was quite the live wire, however in my single days in the 70s. I enjoyed sex, even the one night stands, but it pales in comparison with someone special. But I did have a lot of sexual experiences to pull from. <P>So, having been sep and then divorced, I dated a few men, but nothing more than a kiss on the cheek, and hand holding. Then I met someone (actually knew him a long time, but started dating) . We had a connection from the start. We did have sex, and I have to say, it was everything I had hoped it would be for my first time out. <BR>He was tender, loving, and made me feel very special. My x and I had an ok sex life, but this made me forget about sex with my x. <BR>Now, several months later, it is still great. We have discussed sex in many ways, and that was somthing I did not do much with my x. <BR>Now, after having it again in the context of a loving relationship, I would feel terrible to lose it again. Not just the sex, but the experience of being wiht another. At 46, I feel I have been given another chance. <P>------------------<BR>Susan

Okay. I have another question for people. Are any of you men out there "Bad Boys"? As in, "If you want it to be good, girl, get yourself a BAD BOY"?<P>Whew! Another quick glass of cold water!!<P> CJ

Okay.... what does sex mean to me???? It means letting a person who I deeply care about see me for who I truly am with no "masks" on. It means being one with them and feeling a closeness that can only come with that. It is showing them how much you care about them. Making them feel wonderful in a physical and emotional way and to give them a mere glimpse on what they do to you every day. It is warmpth, compassion, and tenderness. It is all that and so much more that words can not describe.<P>And just so you guys know... you are making me want to go up to Denver again! It's been about 2 years since I last went up, and then I only stayed for the afternoon. I had actually been passing through on my way to Vail. It is definatly quite beautiful up there!!!<P>-Java

Hey everybody!!!<P>Reunion in Denver!!<P>Wear your toga!! (Snicker)<P>Here's my question. How do I book the reunion hall? Lonely Hearts Club? Who's our president? I vote for Jayhawk, since this is his sex line. I vote for cinderella for goddess and queen--okay maybe princess--since she was gutsy enough to start this. Java, you bring the coffee (haha) and we'll stay up all night listening to sappy old romantic songs and crying on each others' shoulders. I'll provide the hot chocolate, now that I have stock in the company. Nick, you bring your cute little legs. I could take you all on a tour of the Mile High City, on the red double-decker bus. <P>Yahoo! We're rendevousing in the Wild Wild West! Yee haw!!<P> CJ

I'm not sure about being the President of this little reunion, but having one in Colorado sounds good to me. I'm sure Cinderella will help us plan this one, but we'll have to see how it goes with the one in Nashville first! Maybe she and I can just be the hosts of the entertainment committee and we'll let CJ make all the plans since she lives there.<P>CJ:<BR>I am definately not the BAD BOY type. I guess it could have it's advantages, but it's not me. I just don't have the eyes for it. They say the eyes are windows to a person's soul and I have very kind and gentle eyes. Beware though, these eyes have the ability to shoot daggers when upset. Good thing THAT doesn't happen too often.<P>------------------<BR>If a relationship is to evolve, it must go through a series of endings. <BR>-- Lisa Moriyama

I know what you mean. I'm not really the BAD GIRL type either. On the outside I look like the mild-mannered accountant type, but on the inside, I feel like a little "biker-chick" action sometimes. I think you know by now that I'm a pretty funny, caring kind of chick, but ya hoo--every now and then I feel like strapping on some leather and being BAD! Do you know where I'm coming from, or what?<P> CJ

Boy did I miss a lot on the way home!<P>CJ- sorry, I'm on the honest for life kick now.<P>nep- yep this is me. amazing that I could end up here, huh?<P>Sue- Hi the support group voted most like ly to be kicked out of a forum. Thank God there's no moderator to lock this thread up.......yet<P>Java- yep, that's it alright<P>CJ- sorry, no bad boy here. I'd have to take a cafe racer over a Harley, but I think you're really more of a roadster type anyway [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<P>Jayhawk- of course you have to be president. This is you're thread after all, even if proxied by cinderella (bet you had no idea what you were starting, did you?).<P>{{{{{{{{{{{{all of you}}}}}}}}}}}}<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain and makes the sun come out again
