I've been hosting a virtual Samson Society newcomers' meeting since last December. During the most recent one I hosted, I felt the tinge of infatuation for one of the newcomers.

That Tinge Of Infatuation
Thursday, August 14, 2025
Decent Jocks Choose Not To Invest In (Nor Advertise Towards) A Harem Of Whores
Professional athletes (male) aren't just physically superior on the playing field. For coitus is a physical activity too. And alongside coitus is libido for which pro athletes typically have in spades.
Living Out A Marriage Built On Lies / Deceit (HIGH RISK!)
I've been swimming moreso this summer than I've ever swam. This being the result of my gosh awful foot sprain (no more running!). Ouch. We're members of the Y, both of which have pools (two indoor / one outdoor).
One recent weekend, I couldn't help but notice a fellow sun worshipper / swimmer (young husband / father) stolen away from his lovely fam. As was usually the case on a Saturday, the pool was hopping with rednecks. This young white guy was lounging on the pool deck close enough to Rob for me to hear him covertly dialoguing with someone over his pocket computer. His verbiage was low and muffled, but distinct enough for me to know for certain that he was talking on his phone (sans holding the device up to his head).

Marinating In The Debased / A Fantastic Interruption!
I have found, as of late, so much insight (& balloon busting emotional calibration) by listening in on pagan men's point of view / choices therein as it pertains to what they actually do with their sex organs and why. To be more specific, gay porn stars and their careers (full-time or side hustle) therein.
You might find yourself befuddled over such an investment in my time, but there's no doubt, that for me, hearing these tales - directly from the horses' mouths - rattles me to the core (in a very productive way). And this rattling effectively vaporizes the shrink-wrapped veneer that boyRob so easily / reflexively applies to smut. A veneer that I habitually use to qualify its consumption as worthwhile.
Regarding straight porn, there's tremendous exploitation of the females who model for that explicit content. That's obvious to everyone. But with gay porn, there's much less of that. Instead, what you'll find is so many of these men are simple deeply, deeply wounded psychologically (whether gay for pay or not), and as such, their tremendously destructive actions ("art" imitating life) are then put on full display (for a small fee).
-------------------------
Let me return to this notion of shrink-wrapping smut. For it's been a real problem of mine for too long.
I'm an architect. Drawing / painting / sculpture are kissing cousins to designing buildings. For well-designed buildings are a 4-D solidification of space using all the same tools one might use via drawing / painting / sculpture. Therefore, composition is key (light, shadow, texture, proportion, and on and on).
And this absolutely starts with the human figure. For an artist begins his understanding of composition there.
-------------------------
My wife and two of my three daughters are returning from Paris today. Having spent a few months backpacking throughout eleven countries in Europe during the summer of '94, I had no desire to accompany them on this first-time ever to Europe Spring Break trek. Europeans have a very different relationship to the human form than we Americans do, and that's - for better or worse - the result of our Puritanical roots.
Nonetheless, if you've ever had the opportunity to draw a nude model, you know that salaciousness quickly flies out the window as you're attempting to honor those few raw moments (with either charcoal, pencil, brush in hand).
-------------------------
One Valentine's Day (I believe it was around 2008), I gifted my sweet wife, Angie, a coffee table photo book of male models (95% of the content was explicit) posing as blue-collar Aussie blokes. I did this in sincerity as a means to invite her into a "shared appreciation".
Boy, did that not go over well.
-------------------------
As much as I can't, in all honesty, recommend this same de-veneering approach to the "general public", if your boyself is as stubbornly blind as mine is AND you have any semblance of an artistic eye, it may be that taking steps to lift the skirt of those you've come to worship / elevate may be the very thing that removes you too from the recovery plateau that you can't seem to easily shake.
But be forewarned. Much of what you'll hear will break your heart into pieces.

Amazing Reunion
I spoke with my freshman roommate (Mississippi State University) yesterday, (2/17) for the first time since last seeing him in '91 (we didn't part ways amiably). Having acquired his cell phone # from our aforementioned rental neighbors, I placed a call on Valentine's Day (don't read anything into that one, please), leaving Chad a detailed voicemail.

It's Been Ten Years Since I First Stepped Foot Into A Samson Society Meeting!
Over the past ten years, I've attended at least one Samson Society meeting a week. August 2014 at First Baptist Church Jackson (Summit Counseling suite) was when that first meeting (involving Rob) occurred. I had met with Mr. Don Waller (facilitator of said meeting) on one occasion, and from there, he ushered me into his group (which at the time was the only Samson Society meeting in Mississippi, as far as we knew).

Compromises Made To Recovery Work Add Up Over Time / Place = Expected Behavior
My middle daughter and I were in AR last week and whilst there, we had dinner at a memorable Hot Springs sports bar. The restaurant was tucked in the corner of a strip shopping center adjacent to our hotel which made it too convenient to not pass up.

The Night He Got Jumped By His Former Youth Pastor / It Took Two To Tango / Was This An Isolated Incident? - Stories That Resonate
It is not getting any easier admitting to my neediness. Over the past quarter (& then some), my wife has been working 12-hour days (home office), and because she's a night owl, most of her workday has been well past 5 PM. As such, a typical evening (throughout the workday and weekend) consisted of tiptoeing in order to not disturb her grind. And it was my privilege to step up in this regard.
Since she became physically disabled due to her May 2020 stroke, a lot of additional housework naturally fell on my shoulders. Thanks be to God we live in a manageably scaled home (with a small yard)! Too, only having one additional kidlet (of three total) at home (who's the epitome of obedience and cooperation) to feed / tend to, helps tremendously.

Mutilated Genitalia (Certification Of Merit?)
Things have changed within the "mainstream" ("higher-end" production value) gay porn landscape.

When Rob's Reality Intersects With Normal Hetero-Masculine Reality (Outside Of The Controlled Environment Of Samson Society)
Computational failure. That's what it feels like.
Imagine observing an automobile unsuspectingly being driven along a nondescript street, and suddenly, it begins to fly. Soaring higher and higher into the sky as if by some unseen nonrational force that affects nothing else around it.

Jesus January's Premature Conclusion
If you look back at my Mid-January Update post, everything that's stated there still holds true today, therefore I've decided to prematurely conclude this challenge, a week or so in advance of the 31st.

Jesus January - Mid Month Update
Back in December, we had an all-together lunch with some friends whose daughter and son are longstanding friends (former schoolmates) of our children. Christmas was around the corner, therefore everyone was in the holiday spirit, anticipating the annual celebration with all its traditions and (inevitable) headaches. This couple had surprisingly (to us) been visiting our church, and as such, once we realized this, saw fit to make a concerted effort to recognize this exciting move via breaking bread together.

Hold The Line For The Man Who Can't Hold It Himself (It Takes Two To Tango).
A sizeable amount of my time each December goes to gifting clients with cookies and calendars out of appreciation for their patronage. And I hand deliver many of these whilst road-tripping my way through various regions of the state of Mississippi. It's an exhausting affair - both physically & emotionally, but an expected wrapping up of the year as a business owner (that was started by my parents, well in advance of me becoming affiliated with their company).
