I've decided to 'come out' in this journal entry. I've decided to tell you all what I do for a living, and to do it in the form of this survey. I'm going to post my thoughts on my profession and my experiences here...if I can figure out how to say what I want to say.
My friend, Benci just 'tagged' me to write 20 things about myself. I've never done these surveys before, but I like her so I'll accomodate this request.
20. I absolutely love women. Read that correctly. I did not say 'I love it when women get me off' or 'I love women's bodies'. I mean, I truly love women - just in general. Not a particular woman, just women period. I think it's very, very difficult to be a woman in today's world.
19. I make a very, very good living.
18. Yes, I have a day job. I also make a very good living at that job.
17. I also do lifestyle coaching for rich men. Most rich men have no idea how to be anything other than a dork or an asshole. I don't do anything for them (I'm not a personal shopper for christ's sake)...I teach them how to develop their own style and do things for themselves. It works better that way...
16. I am an absolute loaner. I have no friends. Seriously. I have a sibling I adore, but other than that I just have acquaintances. I go weeks or months without speaking to them and don't sweat it at all.
15. I know the difference between a Syrah and a Shiraz.
14. When I was in college, I climbed 5.13 and Denali in the same year.
13. I used to teach Tae Kwon Do - well, it wasn't Tae Kwon Do, my grandmaster just called it that so he'd have something recognizable on the sign. He was taught Jeet Kun Do by one of Bruce Lee's original Oakland students.
12. I had a full ride scholarship to the Berklee School of Music in Boston. What a fuck-up I was then...
11. I know something about everything. This means that I can have an intelligent conversation with just about anyone and talk about things they are interested in. This is an incredible asset in my profession(s).
10. Until about 6 years ago, I was absolutely horrible in bed. I just had no clue, and it really bothered me that I had no clue. Then, all of the sudden, a light switch went off. Now, I GET IT. Also an asset...
9. I know how to give a woman an amazing facial (if you think that means I can cum on a womans face then thank you for giving me another client). And I know which kind of skin reacts well to Prada cleansers and which don't. Ayurvedic head massages are awesome too, but that means a shower afterwards.
8. I can cook. Grilled lobster with mint ginger dipping sauce, drunken crab legs, creme brulee and pot de creme, oh and I can bake too.
7. I'm kinda psychic. If I'm giving you a back massage, I'll just 'go' to the right spot. If I'm going down on you, I'll just 'know' the right amount of pressure on your clit and whether you will like my tongue more than my lips. I don't know how I know these things. I just 'know'. Actually, I do have some idea, but I'll save that for later...
6. I read voraciously, and I collect signed first-editions.
5. I love fountain pens and dipping pens. I collect them.
4. I love bonsai trees. My first 'real' tattoo was a bonsai tree.
3. I do not have a mammoth cock. I am larger than average, but not 'huge'. If a woman asks me how big I am, she won't be a client.
2. Women do not pay me to have sex with them, although that almost always happens. They pay me to seduce them, to make them feel special, loved, unique, interesting and important. They pay me to help ease their insecurities and build up their confidence.
1. I have long hair, sleeves, nipple and facial piercings. This is sometimes a problem, but not usually. Most of my clients find this quite sexy. By the time they get in touch with me, they''re usually looking for something different anyway. I find that my appearance disarms them...it makes me 'not' fit the stereotype or the typical romance novel fantasy. I'm SUPPOSED to be different.

4. Possibly a kite drawn by my son. On my tummy.
5. Well, I just do.
7. If youre falling asleep or having trouble with it and you need a good dream, I can give you one. Really, I can. Ask my son, my exes, my sister or my mother.
10. Owning and honoring individual relationships is a great way to deal with or even avoid jealousy. There is no reason to compare one to another if you redirect your energy toward just reveling in all the good stuff each offer, uniquely. (I dont know how to say that without sounding so corny and pompous. It is true in spite of that)
16. Well, I just do. It is a no-brainer for me.
18. I guess I kind of enjoy being lost and finding my way out of it (often with help, admittedly)
Now, let me ask you something. Getting me to elaborate on these things is just one aspect of the talent that makes you successful at whatever it is that you do. Right?
Well, thanks!
