Here are some very short catch up posts. I may edit this as I remember more of what I've been forgetting to post.
I went to two events hosted by Xenii in Hollywood. It is an interesting concept. Apparently private parties have far fewer restrictions on them in the United States, and outfits like Xenii have become popular with the Hollywood crowd. It was still typical Hollywood, though.
While I was in LA I visited a very nice room salon called Garam with some business associates. It's a strictly no hanky panky place, but it is popular with Korean actors and singers. The girls there aren't as high end as the nicest places in Asia, but it is in the United States. Some of them even speak English fluently. Unfortunately in LA everything closes by 2 AM. More about this will appear in a future Temptation Avoided posting.
Jenny and I have been training with her sex trainer for several months off and on. It is fascinating and deserves a more complete post. So far I would say the main point to it all is focus. By having focus around a few things, certain rhythms and patterns, breathing, and different kinds of touch (pressures, strokes, taps, tugs), things can become very erotic. Having several hour long sessions focused on just one thing at a time is a kind of practice that creates a palette of sexual synergies. Then much of sex becomes a mutual recognition of these colors on the palette with which you can express yourself and work with the expression of your partner. It is very interesting and creative. I don't know why we do not study the sex act more. The feeling is something that really does require incredible intimacy and is difficult to imagine working well with intermittently-met sex providers. We think we have at least another year of regular training to go.
I have been to China several times, both meeting with government officials and corporate officials. I found a pocket of North Koreans there. Apparently they are vetted by the government, permitted to work in China, and forced to give a percentage of their wages back to the North Korean government. I met some academics and a former North Korean ambassador to China, and we went to a North Korean drinking establishment. There were many women there, and at the end of the night you had the option to take any number of them back to your hotel. I did not take this option, but it makes me wonder why this would be interesting when the men are usually so drunk they can hardly walk.
In China sex is amazingly easy to find. In fact there are listings of thousands of women on the Internet, complete with standardized details with which you can search to your heart's delight.
Jenny and I had another Christmas from hell, over forty relatives on a boat cruising in Mexico for about two weeks. I was ready to chew my leg off and swim for shore. In the westerly direction!
To make up for that trip, Jenny and I had an amazing adventure in Remota Patagonia and Torres del Paine National Park. I have a half-finished post on this. There are bonsai forests, mountains, lakes, glaciers... the diversity of the land was breathtaking. It was very romantic in a wild, untamed sort of way.
I recently purchased enormous amounts of lingerie and sexy clubwear. Although I have always made some investment in high end lingerie, this is more trashy stuff. Jenny and I are going through a fantasy phase, I think. I will always remember our crew trying to stuff Andiamo's largest suitcase, which is very very large, into a relatively small helicopter flying to an island where we were going to spend four days. The suitcase was full of nothing but sexy outfits and toys. About 40 hours later I found myself tied to a chair, straining mightily while watching Jenny demonstrate certain things to me, but that's another story...
You should read this book on rational thinking. Really.
Don't Believe Everything You Think: The 6 Basic Mistakes We Make in Thinking, by Thomas E. Kida, at Amazon.
And this book on irrational behaviors published in 1841!
Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds, by Charles Mackay, at Amazon.
Jenny and my conversations have been dominated by the following topics:
- Human inability to deal with surplus. Related to "how to make money a tool rather than a burden."
- Monogamy, and what does "forever" mean? With our Talmudic approach to love, an on-going topic of study.
- Building versus Salvage in relationships. When do we go from one to the other, and how to remain excited about that.
- Death, divorce, depression and disillusionment. We have had several divorces and deaths in the extended family.
We did our first quarterly distribution from our Marriage Fund, which is a kind of structured finance trust we call "Peau". We originally were not going to distribute until after year five of marriage, but decided to start the clock January 2007.
And I think that's most of the catch up stuff. Longer posts are still in the queue, but you're probably tired of hearing that by now.

Hmmm, I not sure if you changed the template, but it looks a lot wider than usual. Anyway.
Looking forward the post on the sex training sessions :) Maybe I can learn a thing or two? hehe.
Nice to see you writing again.
Take care
Thank you for recommending Nightwork. I loved it, and I am using it for my thesis.

Stumbled upon your post on the little acrobat (commented there too) and others. I feel it's too easy to find out the identity of the people you described.
Don't you think an acrobat or a future Harvard/Stanford(?) lawyer will also read the internet?
Blue, you are very welcome. I am curious about what sort of thesis work you are doing.
LA Player, thanks for your concern.
This blog is a work of fiction; I change names, locations and details to assist in anonymity while trying to preserve the spirit of the underlying real events. Sometimes it works better than other times.
Still, anonymity is largely a comforting myth in today's world. Given focus, time and money it is possible to find almost anybody who doesn't fully unplug themselves from the grid.
Sigmund,
The thesis is about "courtesan blogs" - yours might find its way into it as well:-)
The major focus is blog as a medium, but I am particularly interested in anonymous blogs as means for opening public discussions on "controversial" topics that otherwise remain stagnant, such as prostitution. Your blog is a fascinating example, especially since you discuss "morally ambiguous" topics without too much sensationalism and very thoughtfully...
Would you mind corresponding with me and answering some questions, anonymously?
Blue
PS. Anonymously for you, if we correspond I will give you my name, as I have done in other cases. My work is public, I have no reason to hide from my "muses".
Sure. Go ahead and email me at the address in my profile. Then I'll probably delete the last few posts here.
The need for anonymity is for the most part ridicules in relation to cosmos versus humans brief time on earth and especially in relation to everyday small immoral activities and bad behavior expressed on the internet.
In my opinion, anonymity is good only when personal security is at risk or revealing identity is likely to cause others to attack you, such as for example mentioning on is from the US when in Iraq.
Or when involved in criminal activities
