STRIKE A POSE


He picked up the digital camera and suggested nude photos. She gave him an eyeful.


LONG DISTANCE BRINGS COUPLE CLOSER


My girlfriend and I dated long distance all through college. We got used to phone calls late at night, which lead to sexy talk, which led to phone sex.

Now we're happily together, but sometimes we miss the feeling of longing. Longing is desire unfilled. It's being close enough to reach some one and not touch. Close enough to smell, but not taste. Ancient Greek myth is filled with these examples: a cup that is always full, until you go to drink and its dry. Grapes growing just overhead, but out of reach. It is a form of torture. Agony. But with a little pain sometimes comes pleasure.

Now my partner and I like to lie just far enough apart, not touching, and lie back. We close our eyes and slowly let our hands fall down between our legs. We pretend that the other is not even there. Soon we become aroused, and soon our breath quickens and our body responds, and we are lost into our own private moments.

At that time, we can hear the other. The panting, grunting, moans. Wet skin, and the rythmic slap. We match sound and pace. Now I can smell us, and we know we are getting close. And closer. And faster. And then we come together.
