I woke up with the most awful back pain.
I suspect it's a herniated disc - if it is, it'll take at least a month to slowly sort itself out, assuming it does, which I'm fairly positive it will.
Meantime I'm having to really concentrate on good posture, bending at the knee etc. And that's not the best thing for my aching knee - which started up about the time I was dealing with the post-renovation cleaning. But at least it's making the back pain more tolerable. And the knee has been feeling better some, so I suppose I'll live.
The folks descended on me at the last minute this afternoon, so I dug into my freezer and fried up some frozen spring rolls. The only thing is at one point I dropped one in (careless, I know) and there was some splattering and there was some scalding on the little finger side of my hand. Ouch.
So far it hasn't been a fantastic day.
But I kept on. I had to. What was I to do?
BIKSS was gonna drop by after catching up with some buddies. When he texted I had already set off to the store to pick up some groceries, thinking a light stroll would do me good (according to the websites anyway). We arranged to meet there and he arrived a little before me. He parked and walked out onto the road where I was coming from, and met me along the street.
When I asked him why he didn't just wait for me all comfy in the car, he said "What? And have my girlfriend walk all alone in the dark?"
*Giggle* that was so sweet. Yes, I was walking, but I was MEANT to be walking! That was the whole point of the excursion.
So we picked up what I needed and drove home, where I had a quick bite (dinner, of sorts) and a shower and then BIKSS had a turn in the bathroom and came to join me in bed. He had me roll over on my front so that he could give me a massage.
Only I was distracted by Roger so I got to giving him a blowjob and since nothing was aching in the position I had assumed, I just carried on until he came and we went and rinsed off again.
We came back into the room and this time I made it to the bed, face down. It was uncomfortable at first so he stuffed a couple of pillows under my torso and I felt much better. Then he proceeded to massage my back - all the muscles that had begun to ache from being worked extra hard in compensating for the pain in my spine. And intermittently I would get some smacks on my butt cheeks too!
When he was done we lay together and chatted and he dozed.
I was SO contented. It was perfect. I sighed - inwardly AND audibly and told him I love him. And he woke up, turned his face to kiss me and said he loves me too.
When it was time for him to get up and head home I kissed him awake and his hand reached down to Roger and he started masturbating. In the 6+ months that we'd been together this was the first time ever that I'd seen him touch himself... and I was more than happy to watch. I offered to put my mouth on Roger and he agreed to my suggestion. He jerked himself off into my mouth. I managed to get all of his cum, and no mess was made.
I have officially made this the most efficient win-win non-penetrative way for him to cum for the following reasons:
1) he knows exactly where and how and in which way to pleasure himself
2) he still gets the awesome feeling of having his cock in my mouth
3) no one's hands get dirty and no cum gets away, rendering ANY clean-up unnecessary
4) I get my dose of yummy cum.
Ta-Da!
I smiled and lay beside him, half of my body on his, and fingered the hair on his chest as I made my proclamation. I laughed and got to talking about how he seems to have no sexual inhibitions, as compared to me, and/or most women in general.
Then he said something which explained why he thought this was so, but in saying so, alluded to his having been previously acquainted, though I'm assuming, not intimately familiar, with the Hitachi wand.
And just like that the magic of tonight's intimacy was gone. It felt like I was jolted back to wherever it was that I had been before we met tonight. I don't know if it's reality, or if it's vanilladom, or what.
I feel cheated. I know it's silly. And my head is telling me to let it go and stop thinking about it. Cos it doesn't mean anything, and what's the big deal anyway.
When I asked him how come he never mentioned this to me before, he said the time wasn't right. Huh? And what makes it the right time now? He doesn't know, he says, he just blurted it out. Ok - benefit of the doubt time: he might have just been blabbering on in a sleepy haze when in fact he hadn't planned on saying anything at all. (Still doesn't make me feel any better.)
And in his defence, I guess I just automatically assumed that he'd never had any real life experience (even if it was just seeing it) with one. True, he never actually said he doesn't know what it looks like or has never seen one. But I find it strange that when we talked about it or someone mentioned it in a post, he chose not to share that he is familiar with it. And so I guess that's why I just thought that we were BOTH similarly unacquainted with said apparatus.
I feel like if I said something or made a big deal out of it tonight, I'd be made to feel as if I was the one who made the assumption and didn't ask so he didn't see a need to say anything. Which wouldn't make me feel any better either.
I let it drop so that I wouldn't ruin the evening, and even managed to get across him for a quick spanking. As he was putting on his socks and shoes I needed to kneel so badly that even with my aching back I got down and put my arms around his waist for a few seconds, hoping to feel better.
It helped some, but the bad feelings came back soon after. This is what I can't put my finger on - Why I feel so icky about the whole thing. [And it isn't even because there's any ex-girlfriend history-thing going on here. Let me just state clearly that there is no ex involved in this story at all.]
The only thing I can think of is I'm feeling disturbed by this incident 'cos I can't help but wonder what else he might have NOT said or shared, that I may be believing, erroneously, is a similarity between us, which in reality may not be the case at all.
OK, there. I've let it out and now I can sleep. I know I should talk to BIKSS but he's not available right now and I just couldn't go to bed dealing with this AND a bad back. So I hope you'll forgive me for blurting it all here hun, but I really don't know what's gotten into me and why I'm feeling so out of sorts because of this thing. :(
Oh Fondles - I am so sorry. It's hard...You know I have typed and then backspaced over what I was going to say several times. Histories - ours, theirs - they are tricky. When they aren't shared histories we have so many unknowns that we can overthink and blow up into possibilities that are much bigger and worse than reality. TTWD takes so much honesty and communication. I also think it's so much more difficult when there is something that wasn't shared, discussed openly...it almost feels like a betrayal. Good Luck - talk to BIKSS...
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment. I realise that i might have given the impression that I was upset about someone in his past, but that's not the point at all. (I've edited it now.)
Deletei think i'm upset because it felt like he was intentionally keeping information from me, even tho that information isn't anything "crucial" to OUR relationship.
Let me give you my male point of view. Sometimes we are worried about what our significant others will think of us when we talk about kinky stuff. Will they be upset we have this knowledge? Will they believe we are weird?
ReplyDeleteI am not taking sides, I am only sharing what sometimes is on my mind when I bring up a kinky topic.
Hug,
joey
I'll keep that in mind. But I doubt that's it.
DeleteStill, I'm sure I'll feel better after we talk.
I can relate to your back issue. I herniated a disc in my back about seven years ago. I was using a tiny dust buster to vacuum the rug because the vac was in the shop and I felt a pop! An ambulance had to come and take me to the hospital because I was completely immobilized. It was quite embarrassing and painful, of course (what a ridiculous story I had to tell the EMTs and the doctor and nurses!) but looking back...quite funny.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
i'm glad mine isn't too bad. I bent over to type something on the laptop but when I straightened up everything in my lower back was just one big mass of PAIN!
DeleteHope you feel better soon...all around. :)
ReplyDeletethank you...
DeleteMaybe it's to do with our human mind's tendency to create an image of someone, filling in the gaps with it's own imagination and making assumptions to do so - even in a very honest and open situation?
ReplyDeleteIf something comes up that contradicts that developing image, it can feel jarring. If it's something that the other person could have mentioned before, it can begin to feel that they are complicit in breaking your image, that they were being deliberately deceitful - even when that's not the case, when they were just unsure about saying anything at first, or how to, or even just genuinely didn't think about it!
(((HUGS))) hope you get to talk about it soon x
Profound. I will keep this in mind too- when we get a chance to talk.
DeleteYou're right- perhaps it is merely my perception of his non-sharing rather than there being any intentional deceit on his part.
I cant imagine BIKSS keeping anything from me for no good reason. He wouldn't. Perhaps also that's what makes it extra painful.
Thank u again for sharing this point of view.
Hope you get feeling better, Sweetie and whatever is in any of pasts made us who and what we are, so it is all good, right?
ReplyDeleteSharing intimate details makes us closer and that is the goal of ttwd.
Take care of that back, and your BIKSS. :)
My BIKSS! Yes! Sometimes I forget that part.
DeleteThanks for the well wishes :)
We'll get that re-connect soon, i'm positive!
I totally understand your fear and internal angst about what you don't know...what he may not have shared. I don't think it's so much tied to relationships of the past as it is to the really deep intimacy that ttwd creates. There will always be those things we don't know and it hurts our hearts on a certain level. Ugh...hard to put into words, but I understand. It did get better with time here. We learned how to tackle those conversations.
ReplyDeleteExactly! "hurts our hearts on some level" is the perfect way of phrasing it.
DeleteThank you. I think if it wasn't a TTWD relationship it probably wouldnt hurt so bad. I'd brush it off cos it's not like I'd be so open and vulnerable to him, and so I guess I wouldn't expect him to share stuff anyway.
Sad, that! Huh. Imagine a relationship where the default setting is two people expecting there'll be only a partial level of disclosure. But isn't that how it is?!
We're so blessed to have found a more intimate way to connect with our partners!
First of all - I LOVE the first part of this post - so sexy, so nice - and I also really like watching my man masturbate, so I am glad you got to have that.
ReplyDeleteAnd the next part of the post - yes, that is how it happens sometimes. Everything is great and then someone goes and says something and well... usually it is me who says it though. Whenever I get nervous or jealous or find out something that surprises me (and yes, after ten years it still happens), I just try to think how I would want him to react if I told him the same thing. It helps.
But then again, this is such a silly subject, why wouldn't he have brought it up? Men don't like to talk about other women with their current though. Somtimes it is good; and sometimes I wonder if all our amazing moments will be disregarded completely at some point in the future as well.
So, see, not adding to your feelings of well-being. Thanks for sharing though.
Hmm not adding to the feelings of well-being? I beg to differ. I chuckled at this comment- so u DID cheer ke up!
DeleteWe'll be back to "A-OK" in no time I'm sure. In fact I can feel the emotional turmoil diminishing- now it's more of an intellectual exercise.
It helps loads that we're not in the same space so emotions have a chance to settle, and we have both gotten quite adept at identifying that we have something to talk about but will wait for a better opportunity to do so.
(ok, *I* have gotten better at waiting instead of going off the deep end via mobile!)
Darn this tiny keyboard- cheer *me* up, I mean.
DeleteBlue has bouts of back pain. I've seen how painful it is, I sure hope you get to feeling better soon! I know, everything can just be going so smoothly and you're feeling so close....then he makes a totally innocent comment that just cuts you to the quick. In an instant, the good mood is lost. I hope you two get the chance to talk it over asap.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive words. The back is feeling much better today- i'm sure the massage played a big part.
DeleteI just have to keep up the meds and stretching and the proper posture and care.
And the other thing? Well sometimes I say something that spoils the mood too. But not often- not cos i'm an angel, but more cos BIKSS doesn't get thrown off easily. He's way more stable than I am. Nothing fazes him!
Thanks for posting this, fondles. My sub and I lose our intimacy bubble and that sucks for both of us because we feel like we lose a connection. You beautifully described what happens to a lot of is in intimate relationships, and the awkwardness of re-establishing that connection.
ReplyDeleteThank you for saying I wrote this beautifully. It sure didnt feel like it.
DeleteBut i know what we have is beautiful and we'll make it back to that place.
Preliminary talks have begun. We're waiting for a time when we can talk in person instead of over chat. I long to be in his lap again so badly.
Couldn't get a comment thru yesterday, no signal. And today I've changed my mind. Not completely. I'm with you. I have chronic back pain, knee pain, everything hurts pain and that can turn me into a fire spewing harridan. Which I feel is completely justified and you weren't that. You were sweet and confused. Completely justified.
ReplyDeleteBut today I'm thinking pasts be damned. If he's familiar with this Mad Sceptor of Joy, tell him to get yourselves one and have at it. I've never seen one in person, probably couldn't figure out how to turn it on, but it's supposed to be the best. If he has knowledge of it, use it.
I think he'd love to show you something, bring you something you haven't experienced. I'm taking Joey's comment to heart. I don't know why BIKSS never mentioned it, strange are the ways of men, but I don't know that I would hang a big trust/intimacy issue on it. Life's too short?
I know you hurt baby, but what's your best way of healing? Let your man do for you. He's your man now with any past. Treasure and let him do for you.
Sigh. I love n hate your comment.
DeleteStill in pain. And still confused. And it's not a HUGE trust/intimacy issue- just a teeny question mark.
And yes yes yes to him being n doing for me n all that.. But why?
That bugs me. Nags. Like a hangnail.
Strange indeed are their ways.
You did put your finger on it, though.....The only thing I can think of is I'm feeling disturbed by this incident 'cos I can't help but wonder what else he might have NOT said or shared, that I may be believing, erroneously, is a similarity between us, which in reality may not be the case at all.....One of the great things about ttwd is the intimacy-so a little crack-however innocent-is a jolt. But you'll be ok, right? You got one glimmer closer to the real him-which in the end-is what it's all about.
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I did put my finger on it. Lol
DeleteAnd we've talked and you're right about getting one step closer to understanding the REAL him.
And all is good. Standby for a proper post on this over the weekend.
