I'm fine alone, but I've being alone for many years... I've friends, but no girlfriend. It's difficult to find some girl that I'm interested in. The last one started interesting me is "taken", but we're becoming good friends (and sex-spiced relationships don't last much, specially at our age). The "sex novelty" for me lasts hours, I know almost instantly if I'm interested in a girl as girlfriend, or just enjoy seeing her body.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mercurygirl', 'T')hat's funny. Strangely enough, even though they seem not to pick up the details which we women love to provide, men do remember some amazing things about the stuff we say to them.

I can be happy alone. I didn't get married until 35. At the time, I wished for the right partner and was sent my husband, who is not what I would've ordered, but here we are, seven years later.

Love is funny.

I started this exact thread on another forum

Having to use one of my hand over my dick, and other fondling over myself seem to apply this, because you wouldn't know if I'm literally having sex with myself.

However, making organism off myself of myself, does not mean I was dreaming of men.

I win. I think.

They say that men should (from time to time) explore their "female side". If one of me was allowed a sex change then that might make that task easier.

I really enjoy the time I have by myself. I don't care and don't feel bothered that, in fact, I am this way. I have abandonment issues and I think that causes me to seek solitude but that's another discussion. I like to drink alone too and I know that some say that is a problem but not for me. Solitude is simply a wonderful thing. If my wife ever left me. I would most certainly stay single and alone. Dying alone is ok with me too.

That's a rather moving post, SCF. You and I are so alike. How I wish we were neighbors---we'd be great friends, I think.

Although I have a companion (who is quite different from me in many ways), I have cultivated fairly advanced aloneness skills and tolerance. I've learned to accept this state and not to view myself as some sort of freak. There's a barely concealed awareness, though, that this is not what life was meant to be.

All that outdoor work I do---I've come to accept that I'll always be doing it alone. It's my stuff.

There are times when I find being alone utterly thrilling, even on the edge of dangerous. Such as down on my tree farm, where I'm surrounded by leagues of whispering pines and rattling oaks. The only human intrusion is the occasional passing plane.

It's really that simple. Cocks and vaginas have had very little to do with it.

In the thought experiment, I wouldn't consider having sex with yourself (as described in the OP and clarified in my exchanges with PMS) homosexual, SCF. Autosexual, perhaps. In essence, it would be an elaborate form of masturbation.

It is, however, revealing how this exercise has inevitably raised the ghastly specter of homosexuality in many members' minds.

I have never had sex with a white man and have zero sexual attraction toward them (although I appreciate and respect the appearance of a good male physique). I am heterosexual by nature, but as I explained earlier "gave up" on women and made a rational decision to cultivate relationships with black men, who provided a necessary sense of oppositeness, and who were very friendly toward me and easy to meet. This was an environmental thing, since I was living in Washington, DC, which is mostly black (70%), and whose small population of available attractive white women was utterly hostile toward poor white men.

It's all academic now, since I'm pushing well past 50. I'm just very lucky to have an 11-year relationship with a sane, helpful person I trust completely.

There's a chapter in Wayne Dyer's classic, "Your Erroneous Zones," called "Breaking Free from the Past." I commend it to your reading. I also had a very very difficult childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood, with definite abuse going on, but I hardly ever think of it any more. I'm present- and future-directed.

I appreciate music but have no musical ability whatsoever, alas.
