I like these short competitions. Always fun to see the variety people come up with. Just submitted my work earlier. Good luck all!

I was putting the finishing touches on a piece that has a lot of winter elements to it and realized there may be a upcoming competition that it may be appropriate for.

Can you submit works you’ve already published to competitions or should I possibly sit on it and see if the winter/holiday competition is appropriate for it?

Showering and relaxing. Very physically active day.

Are you good at cold conversations with new people?

Yup.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night, masturbate, and then go back to sleep?

Toasters. They can crisp my bread anytime.

Have you ever ate so much of something that you started to hate it?

Only as much as they would like. I’m really not much of an overt bragger anyway.

Do you talk to your friends in detail about your sexual activities?

No, but I would be willing to for the right friend. One person in particular I would if it were logistically possible but we remain a world apart.

Have you ever pined for someone you know you can’t have?

A couple years ago my relationship hit a low point and started doing a lot of self-reflection. Realized I had a lot of weird toxic shame about my sexuality and a lot of misogynistic and hetero-normative ideas drilled in even if I didn't realize it. I had always made some gay jokes here and there, like "I'm not gay but for Idris Elba I could try."

So I sat down and really worked hard to use my base instincts on what was appealing. I tried hard to put out of my mind all the ideas of what I should be and focus on who I am. Long story short, I am gay for Idris Elba and a lot of other fellas too. Still love women, I'm more picky with the guys.

No sample size. Can’t really venture a guess either. One day I’ll figure that out.

Can you link one story here that you wouldn’t want friends know you found hot?

I'm a toppings fiend. I love those 'build your own sunday' places with the whole salad bar of treats to toss on.

Breadsticks or salad?

Not that I know of.

What is something you didn't know you wanted till you had it?

Hmmm, haven't really had a full-body licking before. I would assume I would enjoy the process, though there are a few places that might weird me out or tickle to hell.

Have you ever pretended to be someone else during sex?

Stage -> gages

Respectfully apologize and leave. Then probably masturbate furiously. Sorry.

Nice ;)

For me, Busy

It's never a turn off, it can be a turn on depending on when it happens. Foreplay, yes please. Even during the act a little tickling whisper in the ear can be amazing.

Does being tickled ever make you angry?

So... I know I'm not your usual, but at least I appreciate and am excited to see your nature photos. Hit me with those bird pics!

Anywho, I think I'll be quite happy with whoever is below.

When I was a kid I went fishing with my Dad at this lake. We rented a boat for the day. After the end of the day we brought it back to dock, and the guy goes over to retrieve that battery from the motor. My Dad tried to be helpful and picked it up and leaned over to hand it to him. The boat imidiately went unbalanced with this heavy weight on one end and the boat flipped. Tackle boxes, fishing poles, my father, and myself go ass over tin cup and into the drink.

Spent 30 minutes diving for our stuff. My Dad’s cell phone was bricked and we never found his pager. I just was drenched.

Ever fallen off a boat?

Squeezing

Yes, but I think it was common. Changing rooms and wrestling weigh ins were done when I was young. Showers after practice were required (skin conditions like ringworm thrive in these sports) so it was inescapable. Still, nothing too bad.

Have you ever met someone way to gung ho about being nude in front of strangers?

Not in an official business capacity boss, but I consider my partner to be running this operation.

What's a terrible pickup line you've heard?

Lord of the Rings Trilogy... we have

1. Fellowship of the Moist.

2. The Moist Towers.

3. The Return of the Moist.

I really like it, but I’m not an exhibitionist. Therefor I enjoy it but self either isolation (far out in the woods on a hike when we haven’t seen anyone in a while) or the cover of darkness (back yard with no lights on)

Would you have sex with someone without knowing their real name?

Doesn’t make me enjoy it more, but it helps me decide if I want to invest the time for a read.

I normally form a picture of the characters in my head, but for many if there is a cover image of a character their brain will latch onto that. If this enhances or detracts from the story in terms of general acceptance it’s hard to say.

Personally I rarely use actual people on my cover for a few reasons. I don’t use AI, I’m not a skilled artist, and using photos I find online of strangers feels a bit creepy.
