You have one hour left.
What will you do?
This afternoon, we set the timer for half an hour and we didn't do writing practice. We practiced making love but not in the style we've been working on. This summer we're going to a SkyDancing workshop, so we're reading the books and trying to practice the high holistic healing style of lovemaking she calls sacred sex, complete with breathing exercises and guided meditations with lots of vivid visualizations. We usually use an ancient Taoist technique called Climbing The Stairway To Heaven which has us exchanging polarities to balance our yin and yang. This time we practiced making love with sex toys. My lover wanted a lot of vibration, I imagined, since we only had half an hour.
I began by stripping my clothes off, quickly, the second she suggested making love for half an hour instead of going to the gym for a fast work-out. I'll be your gym equipment, I told her. Oh, lover! she said. So .. .. I quickly lit some incense and candles, turned on the c.d. player, filled a spritzer bottle with warm water, and tossed half a dozen sex toys onto her big soft bed: Thai beads, a small vibrator, a big vibrating dildo, a butt plug, a few others.
My lover walked in, taking off her clothes, after a quick trip to the washroom, and put new batteries in the pink thing -- which was our pet name for the big vibrating dildo.
We had just bought a battery recharger and half a dozen rechargeable batteries and my lover checked to see that they had taken their first charge and the vibrator was working.
I invited her to lie down on the bed with a pillow under her head and I placed my left hand between her neck and the pillow. Gazing into her eyes lovingly, I told her what I was thinking about her at that moment: I love you, I said. You sure are beautiful, naked, and I sure am happy we're going to make love instead of go to the gym. I love making love to you and with you and, as that Italian guy said in that American movie we watched last night, I want to make love all over you.
