Yesterday I told Lion he’s easier to deal with when he’s horny than when he thinks he’s broken. He wondered why. I think it’s because it requires very little effort to get him aroused. When he thinks he’s broken he’s sort of depressed and even getting a smile out of him is difficult. He thought it might be because he is more attentive when he’s horny. Nope. He doesn’t turn into the sniveling little peon of internet legend. He’s just a happy, if somewhat frustrated, Lion.

Last night we couldn’t find the collars we were looking for. Lion thinks he might have gotten rid of them when we were no longer playing. That’s too bad. He had a nice leather one and a red nylon one that was more comfortable. Both had tags with his name on them along with my cell phone number to “report if naughty”. Of course, he very rarely ever wore them out of the house so no one would have seen the tag anyway, but it was fun. I did find the Christmas collar with jingle bells on it and he found two other collars. One locks on with a padlock and the other is very wide. For last night’s festivities I used the jingle bell collar because it’s nylon and more comfortable. I only want him feeling the pain I want him feeling.

Once he was handcuffed to his collar, I brought out the goodie bag of toys. I told him he was trapped and I could do anything I wanted to him. That’s almost always true anyway, but just saying that made Mr. Weenie jump to attention. I tried the tiny clothes pins in different areas but it didn’t work out as well as I’d hoped so I abandoned that idea. Instead I used the wooden clothes pins with the sand paper on his balls. I also put regular wooden clothes pins on his boobies. He hates when I call them his boobies. Men don’t have boobies, he says. If I want to call his penis his man clit, I will do it. He has boobies for the purposes of pinching the nipples. So there!

I edged him several times, something I haven’t been able to do much lately. I got him very close quite a few times. When I was done with him I removed the clothes pins and took off the restraints. He was mumbling about being hornier than when we started. I think that’s the point. Duh! And when we were snuggling later on, I said I love him. He said if I really love him, I’d give him an orgasm. I surprised him by telling him I don’t love him that much. (Of course I do. I was only joking to see what he’d say.) So now I have a horny Lion again and I love it.

This morning he told me he was trying to get hard when he woke up. Perfect!

Lion asked if I’d be writing a “poor Lion” post for today. He didn’t get his scheduled orgasm last night. And I decided every night should be maintenance spanking night, except punishment nights. We both need more practice with spanking. I guess that qualifies as a “poor Lion” event.

Actually, he didn’t seem all that horny so I decided he’ll have to wait until he’s a little more desperate. He asked if he had to wait until the next scheduled date. He doesn’t know when that is anyway, but I told him we’d take it a day at a time. I’ll know when he’s ready. It may be today. It may be a week from now. If I can’t even get him to the point of edging him then he can’t be very horny anyway and, therefore, does not deserve a “poor Lion” label. That’s for when I’ve frustrated him beyond any limit he ever wanted to cross and a gentle breeze will push him over the top. Nope. He’s nowhere near that now.

He may very well be frustrated that he’s not so horny, but that’s another matter. We need to regroup and get back to that point. We’ve lapsed into a mini play-coma lately. It’s gotten routine and boring. Last night, a while after his maintenance swats, I had him roll over and gave him some play swats. Tonight, I’ve alluded to the fact that he may be in his collar with his hands restrained to it. If we can find his collar. We haven’t used it in a while and we’re not exactly sure where it is. Not to worry. If we don’t find it, I have other ideas.

As I’m working today, I’m trying to prioritize things. Which stack of papers needs to be dealt with first. Which stack can wait till tomorrow. And I realized that along with prioritizing things at work, I need to prioritize things at home. We’ve lapsed into a sort of a slump again. With winter coming and the dark commute, it’s easy to be fooled that it’s later than it is. By 8 o’clock I’m thinking it’s time for bed. I need to put playing first again.

This morning, Lion said he woke up hard. Yay! I said we’ll have to see if Mr. Weenie wants to come out and play tonight. Then, as I was thinking about it getting dark early, I had a funny thought. Well, I think it’s funny. Lion may not think so. I was thinking we should play earlier in the evening – sort of an early bird special, which I thought I might tease Lion about because he’s older than I am. Anyway, I thought it was amusing. I could even make up some coupons for early bird specials.

There is really nothing that keeps us from playing earlier. We’ve just developed a rhythm of dinner, tv, play, sleep, rinse and repeat. But, like all rhythms, they can become old quickly. Sometimes you need to spice things up. I’m not talking about adding different play. We’re fairly spicy as it is. I mean playing at 7 instead of 9. Maybe a no-TV night. Maybe a mid-week dungeon visit. Just a change thrown in to keep things more interesting.

I think Lion is bored, not broken. I’m not surprised he got hard as soon as I touched him yesterday. He knew I’d turned on the heat in the dungeon. He watched me prepare the ginger butt plug. He knew he was going in the sling. I’m surprised he wasn’t hard as soon as he was strapped in. I think the shaver I used was also providing some vibratory action for Mr. Weenie. Lion said it doesn’t vibrate, but it sure feels like it does in my hand. Maybe not as much as the Magic Wand, but it does provide a little stimulation. All these things combine to make a happy Lion. And then I started stroking him. And then I started sucking him. Yes. A happy boy.

It took a little while for the ginger to take effect. He felt it right away, but it didn’t get really hot for about five or ten minutes. He said moving it around cooled it off a little, so naturally, I stopped moving it. The piece of ginger we bought will make two decent sized butt plugs. Sometimes, by the time I peel it and shape it, it’s very small and fragile. We are fortunate to live in an area that has a few Asian markets. They may have an even better selection of ginger. In this case, bigger is better.

I was really only going to edge him yesterday. It hasn’t been that long since I gave him a bonus orgasm and his scheduled orgasm is tomorrow. Someone suggested that Lion gets too many orgasms. I had that in the back of my mind as I was sucking him. But then, when I finally got him close to the edge, it was clear I went too far. To avoid a ruined orgasm, I started in again quickly after I stopped. I’d rather give him a full one than a ruined one. Unless, of course, I was going for the ruined one.

At this point, I don’t know if Lion will be ready for his scheduled orgasm tomorrow night. I’ll have to see what the Lion weather report is today. For all I know, he just needed his pump primed and he’ll be back in fighting action for a while. Maybe he just can’t deal with my taking the night after an orgasm off. If I play with him tonight, he may not lapse into his slump again. I’m up for the challenge. Are you, Lion? [Lion — I’m always ready for a challenge!]
