I guess you have more time on your hands than I do... or are even more desperate for good reading.

Well, you asked for it, so I'll deliver!

I've been working on or with computers for a long time, starting back in the fidonet days (that's before Usenet, the web, or the solid, public access internet for all of you youngsters) having to get my jollies from books or magazines.

I was a fidonet node, so I had access to whatever use-net type groups we could have at the time. We had a similar setup to the a.s.s site, but the next node up wouldn't let it come through. That's why I became a relatively high level net node, buying multiple lines and a computer with 8 modems. Those were the bad old days; I was such a horn-dog moron back then. Now you get internet access free; heck, you can't get a computer without a modem. If I was smart, I'd have become an ISP, but I was only really in it for the access to the porn. When the internet became available to the public I dropped the WWIV bulletin board like a hot potato and immersed myself in the beauty of high speed access (1200 bd) to the world.

I started reading a.s.s just about at the beginning; I kept a log of the "Good Stuff" and nearly filled up my drives with pictures and text. If it hadn't been for one of my girlfriends (yes, computer nerds have 'em too, just fewer and farther between) I'd have enough to start a collection. Unfortunately she erased the whole drive. "Why do you need that when you have me?" Aaargh.

Which brings me to the subject of sexual addiction.

I'm a sexual addict. I freely admit it. My girlfriend knows about it, but since my addiction is a combination of keeping her awake in bed at all hours of the night, and massaging my tool with my had the rest of the day, she's ok with it. I don't cheat on her. I just make us sore.

When I'm between girlfriends life is different, but I hope that doesn't happen again. Ever. If you see a guy at the ring-shop with no tan whatsoever, in a black button-down shirt, black pants and shoes, that's me.

After reading the a.s.s list for so many years I decided I had to try to give a little bit back to the rest of the slobs who just need their adrenaline wack-off fix. I wanted to post stuff to the list, but since I found asstr I rarely go back to the Usenet. Plus, I'd really hate it if my boss realized that half of the time I wasn't writing stuff for him on my computer. ;-)

I'm a professional with a beautiful girlfriend. Besides bouncing in the bed like bunnies, we are also active in a medieval re-enactment group, and are both "dabblers" with other hobbies. The world is too full of things to try for anyone to hold back from dabbling in something new. If there is anything I can encourage anyone in the world to do it is to find a new interest and pursue it.
