It’s not easy being green.

Kermit the Frog

Green: It’s the color of envy, of grass, of spring leaves, and of emeralds. Vegetables can be named Green __________ (green peppers, green onions, green tomatoes, etc.) or can be considered “leafy greens.” Green can be putrid or verdant, lush or waning, jewel-dazzling or puke-sick.

Middle-Age Masturbation Hacks

      35 Comments on Middle-Age Masturbation Hacks

For those of you who have been here a while (and have been paying attention), this will come as no surprise. For the rest of you: Sex – particularly of the penetrative variety – is of extremely little interest to me right now, primarily because my peri-menopausal libido has decided to join an expedition to the Arctic, so what little lovin’ my body is getting is mostly coming (heh) at odd times and by my own hand{s}.

And y’know… Sometimes these hands of mine are like, “STOP it already! You’re nowhere near cumming and you’re gonna give me carpel tunnel!”

So in case any of the rest of you — perhaps in my middle-aged age bracket and perhaps not — ever experience the same press press, rub rub, ohforfuck’ssake never.MIND kind of masturbatory experience, I thought I’d share a few of the things that work for me when I find myself in that “Welp!

Pull up a keyboard; let’s have a conversation.

I’ll start. 😉

See, during the month of April, one of my fellow bloggers nominated me for a blogging award. And while I don’t really _do_ awards, I *do* do (sounds like doo-doo! DOH!) sharing.

So I thought I’d take some of the questions Cindi asked me and answer them here, then ask you (yes, YOU!) some in turn. 🙂

She asked me ten things, so I’m going to answer five of them then ask you five things, and you can choose what you want to chat about. (Or choose something else entirely! Tell me all about your moose mating call practice or how you are crocheting toilet paper in case there is a shortage in a bathroom near you. Whatever you want.)
