Lion didn’t sleep well Friday night. He was up till about 3 am and then woke up around 8. His leg was also bothering him. By evening, with the help of some Tylenol and rest, he was a little better. We watched “Love Actually” so dinner was pretty late. By the time we got to snuggling and playing at was about 9. I massaged my weenie for a while and then asked if he wanted to come out from under the blankets. He was too tired.

I told him his post for this morning sounded a little like he was blaming me for his not being horny. If only I was horny, I could make him horny. He disagreed. He said he was just illustrating how partners often play off each other. I guess. But it usually makes me feel bad when he feels selfish. It is one-sided. I can’t help that. Well, I’m trying to help that. Would he rather I throw up my hands and not offer to do anything for him? We could go back to the way it was pre-male chastity when he masturbated and I gave him a blow job or hand job once in a while. I don’t think either of us wants that.

I guess I’ll need to be more take charge. If he says he isn’t horny then I’ll have to try to get him hard anyway. I assume it would work sometimes. More often I think it would annoy him. Maybe then he’d understand why it annoys me when he wants to give me orgasms when I’m not horny. No. I don’t want to do that. What I will commit to doing is the same thing I did last night. I can play with my weenie and offer to do more. If he’s not horny we don’t have to do anything, but we’ll be close and even if he’s not interested, maybe it will feel good.

Mrs. Lion isn’t to blame for the platonic atmosphere in the lions’ den. From her perspective, sex is just for me. If I’m not interested, it’s not her responsibility. As much as I would like to be your perpetually horny sex blogger, that’s not the case. There are times that I’m just not interested.

I think that if Mrs. Lion also wanted sex, my libido would feed on hers. While it’s true that males are largely self-starting, that isn’t the whole story. Other mammals, like African lions, have relatively infrequent sex. The males are generally uninterested unless a lioness goes into heat. The boys can smell it and they get very horny.

Many primates, including humans, use sex as social glue. Females are available and ready almost all the time. Males can have sex regardless of female fertility. Both sexes enjoy the fun. The theory goes that sex bonds males and females.

Our situation is fairly unusual. Many women who lose interest in sex, also lose interest in providing their mates, who still want sex, with it. Mrs. Lion is very aware that I still want sex and does her best to provide me with it. I’m very grateful to her.

I’ve thought about why my situation can be difficult at times. My theory is that in a relationship with two horny partners if one happens to be in a sexual slump, the other might be more aggressive and essentially push the non-horny partner into action. This can be a lot of fun.

Since Mrs. Lion is never horny, if I’m not, she sees no reason to pursue sex. After all, it’s just for me and if I don’t want it, then why push the issue. I certainly can’t argue the point. It makes perfect sense. I think that my period of disinterest is likely to be longer than it would if Mrs. Lion, motivated by her own sexual needs, would tell me to suck it up buttercup and get going. Similarly, if she had a temporary slump, I would do the same for her.

I worry that my slumps will get longer and longer until my libido disappears. Sexual feedback loops may be the way slumps cure themselves. I’m not sure this is correct. What do you think?

It was warm in the bedroom the other night. I thought Lion had turned the heat up so he could have his play spanking and some fun. Last night, it was cold again and we huddled under the blankets. Lion said the bedroom is no good for sex anymore. Anymore? A few nights have been cold. I don’t think we need a bonfire and he certainly can’t have a problem with a few nights of missed sex. (I know he was kidding.)

He didn’t write a post for this morning. He said he didn’t have anything to write about. He might have written how great it was to have a play spanking after all this time. He might have written about not being able to get to the edge. I guess those things are more my speed. I’m the one who reports the news. However, I can’t tell you how he’s feeling. Maybe he just wasn’t in the mood to write.

I got two pieces of unwanted information yesterday afternoon. The first was that at work our software will be out till midweek. I have no idea why it’s taking so long to fix. It seems to me they could have just restored everything from a backup and off we go. But I’m not a computer person. The second was that another person has tested positive for COVID at one of our other offices. They’re shutting that office down and are having everyone get tested. The problem is that people go between the offices and they’ve potentially infected others along the way. Now, after nine months, they’re finally putting more restrictions on things. We have to wear medical-grade masks and face shields. I think I’ll go in Monday for a half day and then work from home where I know I’m safe.

I know none of this has to do with sex. However, if either one of us gets the virus, there certainly won’t be any sex. If it was just me I wouldn’t care so much. I don’t want anything to happen to Lion.

Today, I’ll try to figure out how to keep the bedroom warmer so we can have some fun. I know what you’re thinking: IcyHot will warm him up. Yes, but only parts of him. I need the whole Lion warm so he can enjoy being sucked. I guess you could argue that he’ll warm up quickly once I get to work on him.

One thing Lion’s play spanking made clear to me is that I am very out of practice. I know I have paddles, but I used to be able to hit him a lot harder with my bare hands. And my arms got tired. Clearly I need to lift weights and get more practice. I don’t think Lion will mind.

Naturally, I didn’t leave any marks or bruising on him, although it did look like a bruise might be forming. It’ll take more than that to make a lasting impression on his tough hide. I used a few different lightweight paddles. I couldn’t tell you exactly how long I swatted him. I know it was longer than it has been, even in punishment form. My goal was not to bruise him or even do a marathon session. I just wanted to get started again. I know Lion loves to be spanked. As long as we both know the difference between punishment and play, we’ll be fine.

Speaking of punishment, I noticed that he didn’t remind me about punishment day in his first email. Sometimes he realizes later on in our back and forth emails, but he didn’t mention it. I was swamped at work and I forgot all about it until Lion asked what time it was just after I started spanking him. It was 8:27. Whew! He remembered it was punishment day. I don’t think he’s ever cut it so close. His rule is that he has to tell me before 8:30 PM. I reminded him that the play spanking could have turned into a punishment spanking if he hadn’t remembered. Not really. I wouldn’t have thought of it till I was done spanking him anyway.

Despite my starting off with swats reminiscent of the first time I ever spanked him and slowly ramping up the power, Lion still didn’t make it to the edge last night. I thought for sure he just needed a little incentive. He was hard for a long time, but he just couldn’t get there. He “complained” that I got him very horny and he’s frustrated. I think if he was really horny and frustrated, he’d be getting to the edge quicker and multiple times. I think he’s holding out on me. I think he just wants me to do more evil things to him. Humor the poor Lion and he’ll get hard and make it to the edge. Uh huh. Sure. That might work unless I head straight for the IcyHot, Velcro or tiny clothespins. Silly boy.
