Beards and Sex

[dalekboy]

In the last 24 hours, it has been suggested that I do a poll about my facial hair and a poll about who wants to sleep with me.

Of course, the two women who said I look hotter without the beard are both overseas. I mean, seriously, what's the good of being hot to people who are too far off to stroke my naked cheek?

Or even my face? *wicked grin*

And the person wanting me to do a poll about who wants to sleep with me posted anonymously! Ok, I can get the anonymous thing, but still, if I got three people say yes, all anonymously, where does that leave me? Or worse still, what if the only person to put their name to it was Lameo? Brrrr...

Maybe I could combine them and do two polls, who wants to sleep with me with the beard/who wants to sleep with me without. *grin*

If I choose to care about my facial hair, does my vanity listen to the people who think I look better without it, or the people who like me with it? Kali commented that she thinks I look younger with the beard, which is interesting, as I think she's right. Are people put off by the beard because it's facial hair, or because of how I look with it?

Is it just me or is my life becoming more complex due to 100 Days? Is this a good thing or a bad one? Should I do a poll on what polls I should do?

Given the number of responses I've had to those two posts, would love to see what people think about any or all of this.

Polls/comments can be set so that only I can see all answers, but apart from not wanting to be hurt, I don't wish to hurt anyone's feelings.

Forgetting that Sharon is always welcome to say no to any prospective sexual partner and that's the end of that, I have an internal sense that I follow on how far I'm willing to go with an individual. It has little to do with what I actually want and can change over time.

With some folks I could not know them and be able to jump right into bed with them without a problem. With others, I've known, desired, and loved them deeply for decades, but I couldn't take things that far.

It's the same way I listen to my body about what food I should/shouldn't eat (in regards to the things I know I can eat). There are times when I can eat as much chocolate as I want, when it's a good thing and I am driven to have it. There are times when no matter how much I want the chocolate, I have an internal sense that I shouldn't have it, and I listen to that. I will go for weeks with little or no chocolate on this sense, even though I desperately want it.

Thanks to this sense, there is not one sexual partner of the eight I've had that I regret having slept with. For me that's really important, because my sexuality is a big part of who I am, and I give myself over to partners totally.

That said, if I went with what I want, rather than what I can have... There are thirty people of all shapes and sizes on my friends list that I would shag in a heartbeat.

Of course, this is all talking about full-on sex. Most people can, at the very least, get hugs and cuddles from me. Quite a few could get more than that, though again, how much depends on feel.

I would definitely opt in for a hug or a cuddle, especially WITH the beard.

I love beards. And goatees. Facial hair is way sexy.
