Hi. I'm a 41 year old virgin who came to Portland to get a life. I'm generally an honest guy - often too honest for some. Politically a left leaning anti-authoritarian, but not always politically correct. I like discussing things in a down to Earth & real way, but I'm not really looking to debate as much as I am just sharing views and hearing what others think. Relative to intake of herbs I support legalization although I don't partake myself. I was on 5mg Oxycodone for a year. After I lost a great deal of weight I had some some pelvic instability that resulted in high levels of pain. I'm off the stuff now & the pain has gone away, but I still find that around 4 or 5 in the morning maybe twice a week I get the same high & rush just because I'm a guy capable of participating in the baby making process. Relative to relationships I've tried online dating but I'm sort of burned out on it now. I've now resorted to writing women in prision and I've got three ladies writing me back. Yes they do like a bit of money here & there and maybe I am being used in part, but I am willing to take the risk. I'm in sort of a unique situation for a 41 year old guy in that I want kids and it took me a long time to get to where I'm finally ready to have them with a loving partner. So I'll do what I have to do while still trying to keep to my own principles (which is being a dude who's generally a science & Englightenment advocate) as much as I can. Now for the fun politically incorrect part which I don't really want to debate: Yes, it's true - nudism is about sex, and it always has been and always will be. My own history with conservative shame based cultures just has made me very very honest and mystified at dishonesty. I think the approach of American (Puritan) nudism which claims that nudism isn't about sex is just frankly dishonest & perhaps even damaging. And here's an even more fun politically incorrect observations: Sex is love. Some try and pretend like it isn't and they can maybe make it not so temporarily. But look into the eyes of your or someone else's kids the next time you think they either aren't connected or aren't the same thing. And I've got more. I know these types of observations can make people upset. That's not my goal. My goal is just being honest & sharing my honest observations & gut level feelings. I basically have a viceral reaction to dishonesty. On a side note I'd love to go to Burning Man some time. I had some association with the guys who did the following shows: http://www.salamandersociety.com/burningman/ And the Rainbow Family sounds interesting. And when I came to Portland in May of 2007 to check things out I visited a Masturbateathon put on my a woman named Darklady. It impressed me so much that I decided I had to move to a place that didn't ban such things, even if I don't feel like I'm much of a poly man myself. But I like it when people can do as they please. My only take on the whole endeavor of doing what you want is that you think about legacy. Either have a kid, or write a book, or be a great artist or scientist. Do something to contribute. Maybe that's my 41 years of spending too much time staring at my own belly button speaking. Now I intend to stare at someone elses for a change.
