It's Sunday morning and we have a brunch date with family. I walk upstairs with my espresso and I hear water -- my boyfriend has beat me to the shower. I don't mind, we have plenty of time.
I never know what to expect when I walk in on my boyfriend in the shower. Most days, it's a utilitarian event. Some days, he stands under the waterfall for an hour letting the heat and steam unwind his body and mind while he solves the issues of the moment. Still other days, he's filled the shower with a variety of large toys that he uses to stretch himself and then insert, push, pull and manipulate until he's found the particular sensation he's looking for - be it to reduce daily frustration or pure pleasure. While I am a regular and enthusiastic partner when he feels this need, the shower is his place alone for this. Our shower is his oasis.
And so, espresso in hand, I open the bathroom door and take the three slow strides to the shower not knowing what to expect. I smell the crisp apple scent of body wash mingled with the warm, steamy air and see none other than my boyfriend in a sumo squat flinging his flaccid penis around the shower making some sort of image on the steamy shower door.
"What on earth..." I mumble.
He has finally taken notice and starts to explain he's been watching a TV show where a man's occupation is creating art with his penis. Could he create in this way? He's decided to try.
