craig's casual encounters

About 2 months ago, I was kinda sorta not really dating someone to whom I was madly attracted...he went to NYC for 2 weeks and I found myself alone & restless one Saturday night. This is when I discovered Craig's List Casual Encounters.

This has led to many sociological discussions with my girlfriends on men -- their attitudes, obsessions, injudiciousness to sex -- our theories will be in at least one future post, don't you fret! If you haven't discovered this plethora of entertainment and cross section of human behaviour, it is a place where people post ads looking for nsa connections (is that an oxymoron?). Most are men, in fact roughly 96% are men, and perhaps 80% of that are hetero men. Looking for a sexual partner. Just for that night. Perhaps, "if the chemistry is right", for an extended period. But most posts clearly state the poster is home alone with nothing to do and nowhere to go and horny as hell so he's hoping a woman will come over to let him nail her- no names exchanged, no conversation, nothing more than some hot fun in the city tonight. "call me by 10pm, after that this post will be deleted"

ok, I confess, as a single, sexually charged woman, this is a fun past time as I get to see quite a variety of excited men all from the comfort of my HermanMiller 198 position ergonomically correct chair, in my favorite cotton jammies, while sipping red wine and listening to KCRW's evening broadcast streaming online. Most of them are very good looking- from the neck down. Only the VERY daring or crazy post their face here. But for my purpose on this excavation, faces are not necessary. Seeing lots of well-developed pecs, washboard stomachs, toned bums, perfectly hairy torsos...well, it's nice to absorb without having to give anything in return.

The posts are frequently accompanied soley by close ups of the man's erect penis. Sometimes with a ruler held next to it. Sometimes a beer can. Sometimes from all different angles. I suppose if a woman or man is ONLY looking for sex, this would indeed be the most important selling point. ahem. I said point. hee. Some point east. Those are my favorite

It's been over a month since I last studied the Casual Encounters and just now I was delighted to find this ad-

Hmmm there's a guy on there tonight who could use this service. At first glance, he's a scroll-by, but on closer inspection I evaluate him as a possible grower given his scrotum and girth.

oh wait- he's got another post.... no, poor guy, he's a show-er.

So if you're looking for some nsa on Craig's list, your competition might get steeper unless you, too, put the webcam away and invest in some professional quality digitals of your genitals. And at the very least, you get to quench your exhibitionist thirst.
