Last night I unlocked Lion and tied his balls up tightly. When I said I was going to get some lube, he said the silicon lube is harder to clean up. Did that mean he wanted to use different lube? No, he said he was just thinking of me and how difficult it would be to get off my hands. The silicon is nice lube. It stays very slippery for a long time. I decided to use it.

As I was edging him I thought about giving him an orgasm and continuing to stroke him afterwards. I know he’s very sensitive after he comes. Too bad. I wanted to do an experiment. So on the next would-be edge I kept going. As soon as he came I kept stroking. He tried to wiggle out of the way and asked what I was doing. I said I still wanted to play with him. He said it hurt. Yup. I figured it did. He didn’t like it at all. Awww, poor boy. That was sort of the point.

Almost immediately after that he asked why I would give him an orgasm. He was worried he wouldn’t be horny for play today. Nothing about thanking me for his impromptu orgasm. (He did say it was the same as a ruined orgasm. Just as unsatisfying because it hurt.) I thought that was rude. But I told him I was sure he’d be horny again as soon as his butt was strapped in the sling. We’ll see if I’m right in a little while.

This morning, however, I decided to change tactics. Ordinarily Lion decides when we run our errands. This results in my waiting around for him or I’ll be in the middle of something when he wants to go. Not today. I told him I was starting the laundry and then the bus was leaving for Costco. It was up to him to be ready. As he dressed I told him to put on the shock collar. I wasn’t about to put up with any nonsense today.

I zapped him once for interrupting me, but other than that he was good. I told him I wished I could zap the other people who kept jumping in front of me. Too bad it doesn’t work that way. Lion did get a warning for interrupting again, but no more zaps. So far. We’re watching a football game we recorded while we were out. He’s making a lot of derogatory comments about the coach and the team. I think another zap might be coming soon.

Later on I’ll tell him when it’s time to play. It’s up to him to get himself downstairs. I won’t wait for him. When I tell him to jump, he should ask how high and when he can come back down. No more Mrs. Nice Lion.

My medication change seems to have done the trick. I wasn’t exhausted yesterday. I got tired around 10 pm which worked out just fine with me.

Lion and I snuggled for a while with me playing with his balls. Ever hopeful, he purred every time I got near the cage. I wasn’t sure if I was unlocking him or not.

Eventually I did unlock him. I edged him quite a few times as we chatted about his next orgasm. He’s got another week to go. Last night was the first time he’s been unlocked since his last orgasm. I don’t know how horny he’s been, but he was certainly responsive.

Lion has another date with ginger this weekend. I should tease him about his new girlfriend Ginger. As long as Maryann doesn’t show up, we’re good.  Whether that ginger is in the form of oil or root is unknown. He may even have some sling time.

Right now Lion is wearing his shock collar. I haven’t zapped him yet but the day is young. I’ll get him when he least expects it. I always do.

I think I may have figured out what’s causing my tiredness. When my doctor suggested increasing a dosage of a drug, in the back of my mind I knew there was a reason I shouldn’t take it at night but I couldn’t think of why. Since it doesn’t seem to be doing any good anyway, I stopped taking it the other day. I figured it would take a day or more to get out of my system. Today I am feeling much better. Of course, it could just be that I hit my wall of exhaustion and finally got some decent sleep but I don’t think so. Tonight I plan to be more awake for Lion activities. Even if we just snuggle it will be an improvement over the past few nights.

Ultimately, I need to start exercising. Unfortunately, I only decide I need more exercise when I’m achy or tired and there’s no way I can do it then. It’s a catch-22. I know exercising, in the long run, will help me lose weight, make me less achy and give me more energy. In the meantime, it will make me more tired and achy. Lose-lose, in the short term at least. I just need to suck it up. After all, that’s what I tell Lion to do.

Ironically, despite my tiredness yesterday, I was going to play with Lion. Then I read his post for today. He said he wasn’t asking for play and I didn’t want him to think I was doing it just because he wrote about our lull. Sometimes we get our wires crossed.

He is correct that our errands take a lot out of me. I’m hoping that will not be the case this weekend although I view weekends as the time to relax, as much as we can with errands and chores. Lion likes to keep moving. Let’s go out. Let’s do this. I’m happy being home and vegetating. One outing per weekend cures my shopping/people needs for another week. That’s one of the problems with opposites attracting, I guess. We need to find our compromise.

After my post yesterday, Lion informed me he’d ordered ginger oil. Of course he did. I can’t mention anything without him jumping right on it. He gets so excited. There was no reason to wait, but it still seemed quick to me. He managed to get it delivered the same day. Apparently Amazon is testing out delivering things the second you hit the order button. We did have to wait until after 8, but once we had it Lion wanted to try it. Right this second. And he kept mentioning it until I finally tried it on him.

It didn’t smell very strong. I thought maybe it needed a chance to breathe. Not knowing how strong it actually was, I didn’t use very much. We started with a finger tip’s worth. Lion reported no effect. I took a little more and actually inserted my finger a little bit. Nothing. Phooey. It finally started to smell stronger, but there was little to no effect on Lion’s anus. Either I need to use a lot more or it doesn’t work at all.

I’m wondering if we need to grind up the actual ginger and use it as a paste of sorts. Lion pointed out that the essential oil should be the same as grinding up ginger. What do I know? I’m just trying to come up with ideas to make it work. If all else fails we’ll just continue on with the ginger butt plugs. I know that works.

Lion also ordered peppermint oil. He’s a glutton for punishment. Why don’t we try jalapenos too? The peppermint oil might work. I know he likes when I brush my teeth and then give him a blow job. We’ll have to keep experimenting. It’s a tough job, but we can do it.
