I am writing this post on my birthday. So far it’s been great. We are both healthy. Mrs. Lion gave me a box of fudge as my present. Yum! We’ve eaten some of it. She wrote about my deli adventure yesterday (“Two Wins For The Birthday Boy“) . I tried to find a local source for Kosher deli food. I grew up in New York City. Most of my restaurant visits were to either a deli or a Chinese restaurant. Sadly, there are no good ones of either variety in the Seattle area. After living here for fifteen years, I’ve found no seriously good restaurants. Even salmon tastes better at the Oyster Bar in New York. Seattle is mediocre at best.

We’re cutting the cord with our satellite TV. Everything we want is available for less on streaming media. We just subscribed to Hulu Live ++. We are watching NYC TV channels! We decided to do this mostly because it assured us that we could see NY Giants football. An even better benefit is that NYC local news is well-produced. Seattle TV news is high school level.

Yes, Seattle is only the 16th largest city in the US, but its TV and food are worse than much smaller cities. I don’t get it. There are quality universities here. Major high-tech firms are headquartered here. Well, programmers aren’t particularly interested in culture or good food. Seattle has a symphony and an opera. We used to subscribe to both. The symphony is excellent. Its music director makes horrible choices of material to perform. The opera is tragic. The productions are like high school plays. Too bad. There is excellent singing talent here.

I never mentioned it before, but along with not having pubic hair for over 25 years, I’ve also been sleeping naked even longer. I don’t know what Mrs. Lion slept in before me, but ever since we’ve been together, she’s worn nothing to bed too. I also spend my days naked (if I’m chilly, I can wear a t-shirt). That’s been going on for the twenty years that we’ve been together. At this point, I would feel uncomfortable if I had to sleep with something on.

Don’t get me wrong, I like living here. The climate remains good. The people are sorta friendly. The scenery is spectacular. The air is clean except during fire season. I suppose that I am living in a sort of frontier town that culture hasn’t reached. In balance, that’s OK. I have New York TV and can get CARE packages from Katz’s Deli.

I don’t understand why the NFL has decided to play games in other countries. Today’s Giants game was on at 6:30 am our time. Needless to say, we didn’t watch it in real time. We watched a recording at a more reasonable hour, although it was still pretty early for football. The game didn’t start off all that well for our side, but they pulled it off and won in the end. It’s amazing what a decent coach can do.

Lion was about to order some food from a deli in New York City when I found a Jewish deli in Seattle. Yes, he was ordering his own birthday food. Yes, it is ironic. I don’t know how this deli remained hidden for so long. Supposedly it’s been open since 2018. We regularly search for Jewish delis and good bakeries. Anyway, we placed an order for pickup and set off in search of real deli food closer than NYC, rather than going for burgers. By the time we made it home with the food, my blood sugar was so low I had the audacity to grab Lion a Coke instead of a Cel-Ray. How dare I? And the food, despite being about the same price as the New York deli, was definitely not as good as its NYC counterpart. Oh well. Live and learn.

We both took naps and showers after our big lunch/dinner. Lion asked why I hadn’t come near him yet. He’d still been snoozing a bit and I was slow to react to his awakening. However, once we got on the same page, he was aroused and looking for the continuation of the previous evening’s blow job. Luckily, this time, it went all the way to an orgasm. A birthday orgasm, if you consider that 9 pm here is midnight in New York, which is how we count things sometimes. It’s easier to celebrate midnight in New York than staying awake until midnight local time.

As far as I know, we are still on track to go to the casino today. I hope the winning streak continues.

Tomorrow is Lion’s birthday. In the past, I’ve gotten him some amazing presents. I’ve also gotten him some not-so-amazing presents. For the past few years, I don’t think they’ve been very amazing. I guess he doesn’t either. He keeps asking if his present involves food. A few times, I’ve gotten him nice food, but there’s been too much of it. He talked about loving lobster rolls, so I got him some. Either they didn’t travel well, or it was a waste since we didn’t get to eat it all. I got him items from a Jewish deli in New York. Again, too much of a good thing. However, I think the best present I ever got him that involved food was a two-pound lobster flown in fresh from Maine to one of our favorite restaurants. Everyone who saw the lobster was jealous. He looked like a little kid on Christmas morning when he ate it. That remains the gift to beat.

This year, I got him little food gifts I knew he’d like. Nothing extravagant. Nothing that’s too much. His actual present was fudge. We both love fudge. We used to get it at the state fair every year. It’s been a few years since we’ve gone, and I thought he’d enjoy it. I also got him a few food items he hasn’t had in a while. The quickest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. That’s true of Lion, if you don’t go overboard. I just try to find things to make him smile.

We decided we can go to the casino any time at all since I’m not working. We planned to go a few times this past week, but we didn’t make it. Lion wants to go for his birthday. Perfect! It’s a nice outing. He loves the lights and sounds of the slot machines. It will be like a party. I hope he wins the jackpot. He did that the first time we went to a casino here. He thought he broke the machine. The screen went to blue, and he couldn’t play anymore. Suddenly, people descended on us and gave him money. That would be a great birthday present.

I won’t promise him a birthday orgasm. That doesn’t usually work out. I will promise him some attention tonight. I don’t know if it will be the edging blow job he had last night or not. Maybe I’ll give him a pre-birthday orgasm. If we go to the casino, we may be too tired to do anything but snuggle when we get home. I think that still counts as attention.

As for today, we’re off to Five Guys for burgers and fries. Yes, that’s food. No, it’s not really for his birthday. [Lion — Food is a nearly sure thing for me. Yum! Toys are nice too. The only thing about food for my birthday is that it doesn’t last. Neither do orgasms. Oh well. I’m happy with anything Mrs. Lion gives me. Being with her is the best gift of all.]

The Amovibe people have a new and very interesting male masturbator. I’m a hard reviewer of male sex toys. I’ve tried dozens over the years. My last review was for an Amovibe device (the Albertine) that uses suction to provide a fairly realistic blow job. By applying suction and releasing it, you get a nice feeling. Very good.

Their newest device, the Game Cup (I have no idea what they were thinking when they named it.) goes in a different direction. It looks like some kind of robot with two arms sticking out of the cylindrical body. It turns out that those arms are very useful. If you’re like me, you won’t care what it looks like as long as you have a good time.

The Game Cup uses rollers outside of the silicone liner to, well, jerk you off. This is identical to the way the Autoblow works. Prior devices by other makers moved the sheath up and down the penis. I didn’t find that technique very exciting. I have an Autoblow ai. It is very heavy and hard to keep in position. It also has to be plugged into the wall socket. I dropped it, and the controls popped out of the body. My biggest problem was that the squeeze on my penis was too loose.

The Game Cup is a better fit. It’s lighter, and the two handles allow easy positioning. The silicone liner feels wonderful. Be sure to use a good amount of water-based lube. I liked how it caressed my cock. Unlike my Autoblow, the rollers in the Game Cup moved from the bottom of the cylinder to the top. It provided a most satisfying penis massage.

The device also includes vibration from two new-generation bullet vibrators. If you like vibes, the Game Cup delivers plenty. It has a third feature: heat. It will heat the silicone sheath to about 100o F. It takes about five minutes to get there. I didn’t find that feature very helpful. I supposed if you are in a cold room, you will benefit from the body temp warmth.

Both the roller speed (up and down motion) and the vibe patterns are controlled by buttons on the two handles. It takes some practice to use them without looking. There are ten patterns for each function.

I like this device. It’s fun to use. It suffers from the same flaw as the Autoblow; the amount of “squeeze” from the rollers isn’t adjustable. Ironically, just as I started this review, Autoblow sent an email that they have a new version of their device that allows control of the squeeze. The Game Cup could profit from this addition.

The Game Cup is $99 USD at the time of this writing. It’s a bargain compared with the Autoblow. It’s also lighter and quieter. I loved the Albertine with its suction. I would love a device that combines the Albertine with the Game Cup. Combine the Game Cup thrusts with the rollers with the suction of the Albertine. I think that would be the most realistic blow job machine ever. I didn’t find the vibration that helpful. I don’t think the heater is needed at all. The silicone sleeve feels warm without it.

The Game Cup is a bargain. It works as well as my Autoblow at almost half the price. Hey, Amovibe, can you make a combo Albertine/Game Cup? In the meantime, this device is a great ride.
