Imaginations Run WILD!
I have been a way for a few days at school. It really was work related,
even though my school is in San Francisco. San Francisco is so not
Rehoboth!
While so much of my life is not routine when I am away, some things
continue to be. One thing I do every morning is get up and drag my behind
to the gym. San Francisco was no exception. The gym, however was amazing!
Each morning after my workout, I went to the whirlpool and to the sauna—very
nice and very relaxing. So this past Monday, I do my routine and head to
the sauna after an exceptional work out. Usually there is nobody there at
5:30 a.m. This day was no exception. I am sitting there relaxing and in
walks this man who sits down across the room from me. He says hello. I say
hello. Then he says to me "You have such a nice bubble butt." I
was astounded but flattered…I do have a nice one. He continued to
converse with me from across the room. It was difficult. He was a very
cute, intact man, with big muscles, a shaved head and a nice goatee…exactly
what I had in mind. I had to remind him to stay on his side of the room
because this was a public place. While what he wanted to do was quite
safe, I wasn’t about to do it in public, and I had to go to school! Darn
it all! But while I didn’t have my usual safe sex supplies around, I had
the safest one with me right there. He did too! We had our imaginations!
We never even got close to each other or even did anything inappropriate
but we had a great time.
Safe Sex Sal, says, "You can do the unsafest things in your
imagination and they are always safe if that is where they stay!"
Fantasies are good things. We all have them. We can control and manipulate
them. In our fantasies, things always work the way we want them and even
the most unwilling participant will do exactly what we want. Use your
imagination. It is safe and it is fun! Nothing happened in the sauna that
morning in actuality but if you could only see into my imagination! Since
the event, it has even gotten more interesting…several times!
Fantasies can be fun to share. I have shared mine with a few buddies
and they enjoyed it too! ALL VERY SAFELY! Talk about your fantasies with
your partners. If you want, make some of them happen. I usually find that
the fantasies never materialize very well but they can truly enrich your
life. If you choose to make them happen in reality, don’t forget to be
safe. SAFETY has to be in your reality!
I can help you make safety a reality for you. Come and see me. If your
fantasies have gotten out of hand and become reality, I can help you seek
testing. Come see me. I am not a fantasy HIV prevention specialist, I am
real. Let me show you how to bring safety into your reality!
