Amazing April model in the 'Men in Rope' series

Here is our Amazing April model, 'Dragonfly Deference'

Note the loving hands holding him carefully, gently.  I do adore such a sincere gift for my birthday!

It's a gift. Succumb to it...

Do you ever have one of those intimate scenes where lips and limbs interlock in the most perfect of ways.  Where the dance of intimacy is an orchestration of passion with whispered endearments, wide-eyed amazement, breathy encouragement, punctuated with laughter and joy?

It's a gift, when two share such a connection.  I expect it to be my gift, when I'm requested to share my company with an admirer, for I know my playmates appreciate the ease with having my highly charged erotic self respond with multitudinous waves of pleasure to their attentions.  Being a natural giver, living a whole-hearted, hedonistic lifestyle, and wanting to make positive encounters happen for my playmates make it a 'sure' thing.

But when the Seductress, herself, is seduced and has no choice but to succumb to the undeniable power of the delicate mix of a sexy intellect, confidence, and sensual skill...

that is a gift for which I am most grateful.....and surprised to receive.  

Many feel shy about their performance in bed and are grateful for the opportunity to have an accepting, encouraging playmate, but still feel unsure of themselves and surely miss out on earth-shaking experiences.  It should be no surprise that those who are eager to learn and are sincere in their intent, can develop their skills to become an even more effective lover.

That's a gift too.  And it can be learned.  Where to start?  With yourself.  ​“What do you want?"  That question is the gift you give to yourself.  Then, choose that partner who can help open the door for your exploration and bring about a greater awareness of sensitivity and sensuality in your intimate encounters.  Perhaps you don't know what you want, but the right person can help you find the answers in a playful, positive way.

Back to that Seductress.  Succumbing surprises me.  Why? Probably because I'm a giver, as I mentioned previously, and find it immensely satisfying to make others feel good.  It doesn't occur to me to seek the same and it knocks me flat on my back, so to speak, to experience those times when I am the seduced, not the seducer.  Engaging in sexy, fun encounters is one thing, but letting go and succumbing to overwhelming desire and passion with one's lover is quite another.

That's what I call feeling alive.  I'm grateful for that gift.

One more thing.  Is it hard for you to receive gifts?  To let go and be gifted?  This is not just in reference to receiving in bed, but in many aspects of daily living.

Here is a quote from a surprising source.

"The greatest gift that you can give another person is to graciously receive 

whatever it is that they want to give us."  

Fred Rogers  

Try it.  Graciously receive.  Succumb.

(Yes, it occurs to me that 'receiving' and 'succumbing' are a personal challenge for me.  All the more reason to share my insights 

and learning with you.)

Sophisticated Seductress Seeks Birthday Bacchants

Yes!  It's my birthday month.

Come help me light my candles and

let's celebrate with all sorts of mischief and tomfoolery

for laughter and loving make everything better!

This is what I might look like after our shenanigans,

but I must say I have better legs.

Perhaps you'd like to pamper the Birthday Girl with a little giftee?

You might already know that I collect heart-shaped rocks, teapots, instruments, books, and hugs.

You'll want to know that I prefer dark chocolate, fine wines and spirits, 

and steer clear of eggs, corn, dairy, and gluten.

You may remember that the Secret Garden and the Manor possess some 

of the loveliest flowers and living things gifted by thoughtful admirers.

Actually, I shall consider a future posting with more ideas, 

but I must share that the best gift is a visit with you.

I'll be peeking through the window looking for you!

Bloom Where You Are

28 Ways to be a Better Lover

A month long celebration of love, romance, and spicy connections.

 

Day 5 - Flower Power

Flowers are always a romantic gift to give in this month celebrating Valentine's Day.  What can you do to make it a bit special?  Perhaps consider a potted flowering plant that could be transplanted into the garden when it is warmer, or continue to bloom all year round in the house.  That way your thoughtfulness is a constant reminder to your lover.  I must confess that I have potted plants from loving admirers all throughout my little Love Nest and Secret Garden - Christmas Cactus, Shamrocks, Ivy, Bleeding Heart, Orchids, and more.  As much as I adore a beautiful bouquet of cut flowers, I love pampering my plant gift and remembering special times with a special someone.

Now, take one more step along the garden path and, if you have someone in your life who has a real thing for flowers (like me), you might consider the wonderful romantic gesture of taking them to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show, taking place at the Convention Center right now through this weekend.  Just think of how your lover's desire will blossom to thank you properly for such a thoughtful gift of spending time with you in the beautiful gardens displayed at the show.

And then you can test yourself on the first 5 days of suggestions of 28 Ways to be a Better Lover and see if your lover fully blooms from your attention to kissing, play, undressing, aphrodisiacs, and a gift of flowers. 

On a personal note ~ share what's blooming in your life with your lover.  Winter is the perfect time to plant the seeds of dreams, thoughts, and new ideas.  You may be surprised and delighted to find what new growth appears from sharing your dreams with someone who is deeply intimate with you.  Of course I'm not just talking about the growth you experience every time you are with your lover, but most certainly there would be growth in revealing and reveling in new ways to experience pleasure with your lover.

See what interesting things pop up and, if you need even more inspiration, I'd love to plant a few bouquets of kisses on you to see where you'd like to bloom.

~ A Present For You ~

The gift of one's presence 

is the finest present of all.

I love this sentence and the clever pun of presence and presents.  The gift of one's time is so often overlooked in these days of extravagant gift-giving.  In my opinion, these are the gifts I cherish the most. 

One of my greatest delights is preparing in time and energy to welcome you, focusing on you, and enjoying the time we share together.   

Striving daily to live in the moment, be fully present, aware and appreciative of the gift of life, and share that joy with others is challenging.  Often our attention is tugged in many directions, but wouldn't we all thrive to have an attentive ear, a compassionate touch, a warm smile, a generous laugh, an eager paramour?  Imagine a world like that.

  

This is your lucky day!  For that gift can be found right here ~

in me.  Would you like to unwrap me now?

Besides, I know you'd really just like to ring those jingle bells!  
Happy Holidays to all!
