The stylophone is a legitimate instrument, Bowie used it space oddity I think. I grew up with Rolf and I feel betrayed. I used to like Jake the peg.

Was in the army so all geared up to go to the Falklands but never got sent. Two tours of duty in Northern Ireland. Two years in Germany with lots of secret gay sex in the very vibrant German gay scene.

Foolishly got married. About 5 years with no sex at all.

Finding out my X was cheating on me and feeling very hurt .

But after I got over the initial pain .

I met and cheated on her , but with another married guy .met in pub !

And had no remorse it was great fun .

And him banging me in his marital bed was even better . She carried on cheating although denying it .

In end I couldn’t care less to be honest fallen out love , and her with me .

We didn’t have open marriage but she come home late . No question where asked . But we stayed together for sake children . What was strange looking back is , I use to wank thinking about her being banged by him . But like all things come to end we moved on . Split up I believe she still with him.

I couldn’t believe how happy I could be being single .

Sweaty workmen working on the roads. It may be in my early teens, but I still remember it. And the smell triggers something in my pants Fresh musky smell from sweaty guys working. Even better when you sat on the bus next to one of them.

Yes, I know it's disgusting, but for some people, it's not. We all have our kinks and likes.
