Divorce is no fun, especially with three children involved. I was lucky that the family's long time nanny provided a constant source of care through the tumultuous separation.
I moved into a small house not too far from the house that had housed us all for nearly a decade. The kids came and went, but I discovered I had a freedom not experienced in years. When the kids were away I had the house to myself. Although that seems obvious, being able to walk around nude or surf porn freely is something most men married and with kids can only do in their imaginations.
I rediscovered the joys of solo sex. With the aid of internet porn and Literotica stories (not to mention unneeded but appreciated erectile disfunction drugs) I would oil up my cock and play with it for hours at a time. The variety of sensations possible using one hand on a well lubed cock is wonderful. Slow, fast, forehand, backhand, full strokes, rotating, finger tips, and everything else that felt good. Oddly the technique I find intensely stimulating is what I call The Spock, using the Vulcan greeting sign up the top side of my cock letting the soft connective skin between them pop over the cock head. Too intense to do for long. Gourmet masturbation is something I don't want to ever give up.
I don't have experience with handling other sized cocks, but I am thankful I have more to play with than most. I appreciate being able to wrap my whole large hand around the shaft and make long strokes up and down. I can even fit two hands on it when I don't need the other for my computer. My thumb and fingers of my big hands just barely meet when I grab hold, giving me maximum stimulating friction as my hand or hands imitate the pleasures of a tight hole. I measured the girth once and was surprised to find that I'm wider at the base, over seven inches around, than just below the head, six and one half.
Although in my 40s, I now found myself jerking off with the frequency of a younger man, sometimes three times a day. What a joy. I even tried some toys that ultimately lost out to the flexibility offered by a well lubed hand. I used a plug-in vibrator a fair bit because it seemed to heighten the sensations on my cock head.
