Winter of COVID

 

First things, first. For anyone who has been concerned about our fellow blogger over at AOM, he is doing better. No CV-19...but a terrible bronchitis led to other complications. He is resting at home. We wish him a full recovery.

Winter. It's my least favorite season. In normal times, I would go to the Day Spa once per month. It helps me fill that gap when I can't be floating in my pool. The place has it all, really. There, you can get haircuts (or other related services) mani, pedi, facial, Brazil wax, body scrub, massage. You can laze next to the hot tub or cold plunge, hit the sauna or steam room. It's definitely a full service spa.

It's a pretty quiet and a very relaxing atmosphere. Yes, you will catch the occasional boner bobbing by. And, yes, you might notice the surreptitious masturbation, hand jobs, or blow jobs happening. 

But, just lying around naked, listening to the piped-in music and the soft chatter helped me through the Winter months.

It's what I miss most during this winter of COVID.

What do you miss most?

What's a Guy To Do?

Lordy! it's already been a weird week. Ever leave a meeting and, once you're in the car and on the road, think to yourself, "I really should have gone to the restroom before I left."? That was me.... I found myself in the position of stop and piss, or piss my pants. Luckily, a neighborhood park provided the place to pull over.

Round two of the winter crud seems to be dissipating. The coughing has stopped, the sinuses have cleared (for the most part, anyway) and I thought I'd finally get a good night's sleep. Ha!

The M.D. is always worse in Winter. The leg and foot cramps started around 6:30 last night and didn't let up until around 2:30 or 3:00 in the morning. Massage with the proper finish usually helps a great deal.

The ejaculation releasing the wonderful serotonin relaxes the muscles. I don't how long that chemical remains in the body, but it seems to stave off the cramps for two to three days.

But, we've had to put out so much money this past year, we can't really afford the cost of massage right now. Though jacking off helps, too, the arm muscles get too tight and sore from the stroking.

And, then proceed cramping. Thrusting into a sleeve creates the same issue for the abs.

What's a guy to do?

Boner or Not

I went to the day spa to see if time in the steam room would help knock this what-ever-it-is out of my system. 

After a short time in the steam, sitting in the lounge area near the showers, and hot and cold plunge tubs:

[A man steps from shower to grab hold of his towel; he's got one hand cupped over his genitals as he reaches for the towel with the other.]

The guy on the lounger next to me: "I don't know whether to feel sorry for him because he's that ashamed of his dick, or because he only needs one hand to cover it up."

Laughter ensues from the five men who have observed. Yes, I laughed, too - I think timing and vocal delivery made it funny. I wanted to go talk to the dude, but didn't want to further embarrass him. I mean, it is possible he had developed a bit of a boner in the shower.

And didn't want it waving around on the way to his locker.

Yet, it's sad that any guy feels that he must cover his cock in a locker room. No matter what area, boner or not,

no man should ever feel shame. Guys, be honest:
Do you (or did you) hide your cock from view in a locker room?

Renewed and Rejuvenated

The Ladies have been pampering themselves for decades. It's time we guys caught up. Yesterday, I decided to treat myself. I scheduled a Full Body Scrub. Never had one before, and I didn't know what to expect. When I got to the spa, they were offering a package deal: for another $40, I could add a 1-hour massage. Sold!

Inside, I sat in one of the steam rooms for a bit,

showered and shaved (they provide shaving cream and disposable razors).

Sat in the warm water spa for a while,

then laid down on a chaise watching the other folks.

The Body Scrub was rougher than I thought. But when he switched to the nylon pouf full of lather - well that was the best part. He didn't wash my cock, but did my taint, balls, and crack. And, yes, I popped a bit of wood as he cupped a hand over my cock. I think it's such a normal thing to happen, he didn't react at all - just kept on scrubbing. He even washed my hair and scrubbed the callous from my heels. But the best part - oh, my! The best part was getting my back scrubbed. Then lotion - felt much like hair conditioner. Between each section, he dumped buckets of warm water over me.

 

Then he led me to a massage room. Ahhhh... Light, long strokes. Heaven. It also impressed me that he massaged my gluts, because so many masseurs don't. Turning over, he massaged my chest, stomach, and my abdomen right to the base of my cock. When he did my legs, he included my thighs. His hands glided against my balls a few times causing more wood - again, no reaction, he continued his work.

He led me back out to the wet area. I showered off all the oil

and stretched out on a chaise lounge.

I struck up a conversation with the guy next to me about body shyness. We're two of a kind. Don't see any sense in hiding our equipment, and we both love nude beaches. I mentioned the nude cruise and he asked how to book one. We chatted a bit more, then I dressed and left. All in all, a very relaxing time. I felt renewed and rejuvenated. I spent the rest of the day, lounging by the pool.
