You know you think about me having old people sex more often than not, perv.

I've already written the fanfic and sold the rights to showtime.

Duuuude... that's low. You're saying that Patch isn't good enough for Skinimax!

Cold blooded....Cold blooded..As clumsy as it may have been, at least he did SOMETHING..

RKW is a terrible person.

TURRIBLE.

Yah, but we're all jerks. You...me...this jerk.

This has worked in my favor and backfired in my face as well. There is nothing like putting the thought and effort into creating something for someone only to have them not appreciate it.

The last Valentines day I remember was with my ex when I was 26. Candles, wine, and we listened to the Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness album in the background and just talked for hours. It was fantastic. After her and I broke up I kind of went of the rails for a bit. We were together for almost four years. It was brutal and I did not take it well at the end.

Valentines isn't really a corporate holiday, so much as a corporate hijacked holiday, like Christmas. The thing started out as a feast for some Catholic Martyr, and morphed into a day for romantic love to be celebrated, mostly by the lovers themselves. Guys writing poetry to their gals (or probably to other guys on the extreme down low) goes back to at least the 1700s. Somewhere along the way, much like with Christmas and Independence Day, the merchandizer asshole crowds repurposed it as another money making venue.

I'm with you on the spontaneous romance thing. Back when I was dating an older woman in Stillwater (like, older enough that her son was 3 months older than me), she took an online course to get a CPA degree so she could look for a new job. It was really doing her head in, mostly because of how time consuming it was. The day she finally took the test, which was at a specific site so it could be proctored, I was gonna be at work when she got home, but I wanted to give her a boost of emotion when she got back from doing the test. So I printed out a note that read "Open the door and look to your right" and taped it to the front door with a rose. Inside the apartment was a series of printouts with romantically themed comic covers from DC Vertigo's Lucifer series (which I was a big fan of at the time) where he was embracing his lover, and directions to the next note. The final note was on our bed with a paragraph about how proud I was of her for putting os much time and effort into the endeavor, and that win or lose, she'd tried which was a form of victory in itself.

When I got home that night, she was so radiant and glowing.

That night was far more romantic than any valentines day what not I've ever had.

Agreed. I'll never forget that night for as long as I live. Sitting on the floor in the candle light with the music in the background and just being there with her in her room and listening to her voice and her laugh, it felt like nothing else mattered in the world. It was magic...I still have the valentine she made me that year framed on the wall and no matter where I'm at, I can always look at that and remember that at one point in my life I had something incredible.  I am thankful for it.

Somehow, it seems appropriate that venting about the lameness of Valentines Day would bring out the sentimental side of you Gonz. Seriously though, that's a great story and I'm glad you shared it.

If any of you mention this conversation I will find you.........

So that's "Imagine a guy who I don't have any idea what he looks like, banging his wife, who I also have no idea what she looks like." Naw, I'm gonna imagine Nick Fury knocking off a piece of Madame Hydra. Valentines Day is all the sweeter now.

NebulaJack wrote:Hey, have you guys heard of Steak and A Blowjob Day? It's a concept that Dan Savage has been championing for a few years. It's on March 14th, and the idea is for people (primarily straight women) to reward their romantic partner's Valentines Day effort, by giving the guy what he wants, and the macho fantasy usually comes down to "a steak and a blow job", though it could be "pizza and anal" or what not, but basically a reward of the carnal desires of men as a counterpoint to Valentines, which seems geared towards the desires of women more than men.

What are y'alls thoughts on the subject?

Also, special V-Day poll is up.

Maybe it's different when you are in a really long term relationship, but it seems sad to me that you have to have "special" nights to do sexy stuff.  I get that not every night can be wild and passionate, but there's got to be some middle ground between that and just lying there every time with other stuff only on his birthday.
