Circadian rhythms

When do you like to have sex? Many men will answer "Any time!" But for some of us, nature, biorhythms, hormones, or something tend to nudge us to be in the mood more at certain times.

Consider the behavior of people on mobile cruising apps like Scruff or Grindr. I often log into these apps just to look at pictures or say hi to friends. But if I leave the app running when I fall asleep, I invariably get hit on or at least contacted by one or two people in the wee hours of the morning, long after I have passed into dreamland. Maybe those people are night owls anyway. Or maybe they just like their sex by moonlight.

Fortunately I'm not stuck in one particular time mode for my pleasuring. I've definitely had some hot sex late in the night after coming home from a night of barroom revelry with a friend. But generally speaking, I get more of my sexual energy in the morning or midday than I do after a long day (especially if that day has included a lot of work).

Consequently, it's especially nice when my schedule allows a friend to drop over in the early or middle part of the day. Not only do I have more sexual energy then, but I get the added pleasure of having more light to feast my eyes on the sexy body of the moment.

And when it comes to sexy bodies and daytime diddling, you can't do much better than my friend Jeff. Not long ago our schedules made it convenient for him to drop by in the middle of the day. It didn't take long for us to get naked and adventurous in my sunroom bed. We recorded that session for your pleasure in the video Midday mating, now showing in the Sexy time video theater.

Whether you like your playtime early or late, we hope you'll enjoy this video memoir of a lusty afternoon.

Clean as a whistle

Smooth or hairy? Which kind of body do you prefer? Some guys see a hairy physique as a sign of maturity and testosterone- laden manliness while viewing a smooth torso as the hallmark of twinks, the underdeveloped, the overly young, or even as an affectation.

On the other hand, there are those who like hair removal for its ability to reveal the muscularity, sinews, and definition of the manly form. Bodybuilders in particular are known to shave their entire bodies from the neck down for this very reason. Even many who like their furry chests still remove hair from other body parts, such as the back or shoulders, where it may not be considered fashionable.

Of course, many, if not most, of us have no choice in the matter. Nature either endowed us with fur or it didn't. In my own case, I have a respectable amount of hair on my arms and legs, but little on my torso. What little wiry hair does grow on my chest detracts from the definition I have worked hard at the gym to attain. So I reguarly whisk it off with a razor.

Then there is the whole question of manscaping. Again, some guys like pubic hair and some don't. But most would agree that a little bush trimming can show off more of a man's endowment. And rare is the man who doesn't want to be admired for that. I usually do a little crotch trim myself and a little cock shaving. But I've also tried waxing and the full naked groin now and then for variety.

That's about as far as I tend to go in the hair removal game. But one time, a few years ago, I decided to go all out. Not only did I shave off my beard (a rare occasion indeed), I even used razors and depilatories on every part of my body from the nose down. Fortunately, our resident photographer, Andrew Adam Caldwell was there to capture it in a photo set I call Smoothed Operator, now on display in the Nakedism photo gallery.

So check it out and decide what you like. Me, I like men at many levels of hairiness — as long as they are utterly, completely naked.
