Working the Pipeline

Two nights ago, I was at Nick's with drinking buddy and Submissive Liz for an end-of-the-weekend nightcap. Having run 18 miles earlier in the day, I was exhausted and looking forward to some sleep before I had to be at work. Submissive Liz texted me after I left asking if I was in the mood to see my slave. Mar texted me an hour later, asking if I was free. Alas, I saw neither of these texts until the next morning---the sound of the train outside my building did not have the power to wake me. Sometimes the need for a good night's sleep trumps all other desires.

Lest anyone think that I'm stuck in the past and not meeting new women, I'm getting together with Marla tomorrow night for drinks. This is also a good time to talk about Casperina, my myspace friend.

Casperina lives just outside the ring that forms Chicago's exurbs. She and her husband are in the process of separating and she's rediscovering the dating world. She's left several comments on my myspace blog and at one point I gave her a choice: I could give her the URL to my "real" blog but she and I would never be able to meet, or I could withhold it from her and we might meet at some point in the near future. She chose the latter.

Casperina is an exhibitionist of the Victoria's Secret variety---she has already sent me several photos of herself, nude and in various stages of undress. She also has a playful, light quality that I appreciate and the cyber-sex sessions we've had have been hot and erotic in a way that they really haven't been with Christy. There really is an art to talking dirty and women who master it will have a much, much easier time keeping the attention of their men.

Anyway, last night I reciprocated---I took a nude photo of myself with my cellphone camera and sent it to her. I don't think there's any danger of me becoming the male Libby Hoeller---it was pretty innocent and in good fun. We did, however, have a raunchy IM session that left me drained and ready for sleep.

I don't know where this will lead---I may see Casperina within a couple weeks. I may decide I want to spend more time with Marla. Christy is coming to visit in a couple weeks---I haven't ended things with her. If you have someone on the line who knows you see other women and lives in another state, do you need to end things? I may, at any time.....but I might also give her another chance. For those grammatical purists out there, yes, I'm aware of the difference between "might" and "may".

But what I like about Casperina is, after months of emails and sexy IM's, she strikes me as a stable, well-adjusted chick. I can usually spot the psychos, I just ignore my instincts. She may be worth a visit at some point in the near future.
