ED_SelfPreservation_coversmSince I’m sort of one of the final few bringing up the rear, if you will, of Cocktoberfest – I thought I might take the opportunity to reminisce over the past week a bit.  Put a few things into perspective and of course talk about some of the new things I’ve learned.

Ah – Cocktoberfest.  The images the word inspired in my mind upon first seeing it.  There in lies a bit of the problem.  I mean – I practically fell all over myself when it came to agreeing to participating in the festivities.  However, I should be completely honest now and fess up to the fact I initially thought Cocktoberfest was something else altogether.  It was only natural, considering my understanding of the root word, Oktoberfest, which I’d understood to be some sort of wine tasting for beer drinkers.  Keeping that in mind, I naturally assumed the word Cocktoberfest – well, would involve the tasting of a wide variety of different…um…let’s just say it gave meaning to one of my favorite lines from the Bogie/Bacall classic, To Have and Have Not.  You know the line – ‘You just put your lips together and…blow.”  Since I was indeed incorrect on that score, we’ll just move on, shall we?

Despite my initial disappointment on discovering there wasn’t going to be an official cock tasting – it has wound up being a particularly titillating week here at EM’s.  There have been several times I’ve felt like lighting up upon finishing a visit, only to remember I no longer smoke and will therefore never be having another post-coital puff.  Guess that means I need to think of something else to stick in my mouth. : )

I’ve learned several new things this week.  For one I was totally shocked to discover that Supernatural Sex referenced a more mystical or mythical meaning.  All these years I’d thought it was Super Natural Sex – or sex you had while sober.   I was relieved to recall that despite being incorrect as to the true meaning, I hadn’t missed out on having it.  That rather large, muscled guy I’d picked up that night, way back in the late nineties, was quite strong.  Thank goodness for hairy men!  While I don’t recall a particularly unique smell, he did seem to have a bit of a sniffing fetish going on.  My very own wolf-man?  Who knew I’d been such a were-queen?

There was that slightly uncomfortable moment when I became a little confused, wondering how we’d allowed such a major faux pas.  A blog post about older men and another about classic cock?  Holy double booking, Batman!    Awkward!   Fortunately, they turned out to be different topics after all, not to mention great blog posts, and all was well in the world of Cocktopia.

Another new lesson for me was James’s post on being Pegged, which is something I’ve never been.  I have been pinned on many occasions, and though there was nothing sparkly involved in my experiences – there was plenty of lube.  I’m somewhat envious of the Pegger’s out there when I think back over my past.  I mean, seriously…how convenient to be able to select-a-size based upon your own personal comfort level as opposed to the crap-shoot of dealing with whatever you wound up bringing home with you on a Saturday night.

I must admit to also now being desperate to meet AJ’s father.  He sounds so sassy!  I love him already!  My father’s penchant for naming our pets after traditional Native American words combined with Doorber, the name of the street I grew up on, has unfortunately left me with a truly heinous porn name.  I was fascinated by the behind-the-scenes goings-on of AJ’s porn shoot.  I’d always imagined it to be like Melrose Place with lots of jizz.  And I have a feeling it probably would be if it were me going to the set with my porn star boyfriend.  I just know I’d be listening intently to every moan, groan, grunt and thrust as I tried to dissect whether or not my BF was enjoying himself more than he did when he was doing it with me.  I’m just fucked in the head that way. : )
While I’ve personally never been too into the whole S&M scene — I’m not being judgie!  I wig out if my shoes are too tight.  I just can’t imagine being bound up.  It sends me into panic-sweats, people!

I do however love a good Vamp story.  While I have yet to read the books, I wasn’t very impressed by the Twilight movie.  For me it didn’t have anything to do with the glittery Vamps, which while seeming a bit out there – I have always had a fondness for shiny objects.  I just felt like the character development wasn’t there in the film.  I am over the moon about the Vampire Diary’s and True Blood, though.  I do live in constant fear that the market will become overly flooded by blood suckers and insight a backlash, causing these shows to disappear.  (That’s part of the reason I haven’t read any of the books.  I’ll at least be able to still get my fix when it happens.)

It will be devastating either way.  Losing the V-Diaries would be bad enough.  I’m not sure my sanity could handle the cancelation of True Blood.  (Crosses fingers, rubs lucky horseshoe, & tosses salt over shoulder)  I’d tune in at this point just to listen to Stephen Moyer as Vampire Bill say the name Sookie.  There’s just something about the way he says it.  I think I come a little in my pants every time he does.  It’s just fucking hot!  I can’t seem to hear it enough, and it’s gotten to the point that I curse my parents whenever I hear it for not having had the foresight to realize they should have named me Sookie!

I hope everyone else has enjoyed Cocktoberfest as much as I have!
Much Love
Ethan

For my Cocktoberfest post, I knew exactly what to do.

I love Halloween, and I love looking at pictures of sexy guys.  What better way to combine those two than by doing a Halloween-themed eye candy post?  Best of all, eye candy has zero calories!

All the men featured in this post have played sexy vampires on TV.

OK, so here’s the thing.  I really want to believe in werewolves, vampires and shifters in general.  Only the sexy ones, not the bad ones, unless they really have a good heart and can be changed by love.   I mean, think about it!

Werewolves are cool because they can shift between men and wolves.  When they turn into big, furry wolves, they are gorgeous, love to romp and are incredibly strong.  Most wolves are on the lookout for their mate, who they’ll know immediately because of their unique smell, targeted specifically at them.  Plus there’s the sexy, commanding Alpha who really has a heart of gold, and is an amazing leader with sensitivity and wisdom beyond his years.  When wolves shift back into men, they’ve got beautiful musculature, are in incredible shape because of all the running they do, and are usually well-hung both as man and wolf.  What’s not to like? more…

Howdy, Zoe Nichols here  guest blogging for EM Lynley during the rather entertaining Cocktoberfest.

And my topic? Vampires of course. What else would I talk about so close to the scariest day on earth? But I’m not here so much to talk about the lure of vampires as much as I’m here to talk about something that’s been tripping my trigger lately.

I want more vampires in BDSM.

In particular, I want more vampire S&M.

For those unfamiliar with the life, BDSM stands for Bondage, Dominance/submission, and Sadomasochism. There are millions upon millions of subcategories. And of course, BDSM is not for everyone nor should it be. It’s a widespread community with many different aspects to it. Not everyone’s gonna like it or understand it.

But me, I adore it. In real life, I’m a switch, with a tendency (as of late) to lean toward submission. There’s usually an undertone of D/s in most things I write and there’s probably some touch of it in 80% of the things I read.

Why vampires? Because honestly, there is something so sexy about it. With vampires, the lore around them is substantial. And it always comes down to an aspect of pain, be it some type of emotional release of the last vestiges of humanity or the physical agony of bloodlust. I mean, this is an elemental creature, not human but not animal and thus capable of taking more. You can cross the line with a vampire; be bloodier, darker, maybe even meaner.

S&M in general is not something you’ll see in a story. It’s a hard topic because it’s not very well understood – at least in my experience not many seem to understand it. You don’t have to be twisted to like it. Yes, it is heavily based in varied levels of pain. But it is controlled pain. Safe, sane, and consensual: it’s not just a motto; it’s a way of life.

How does this tie into vampire sex? Well, because I write erotic romance and read the same, whatever form of BDSM I’m reading/writing is going to lead into some bed-breaking. Also any good vampire reader knows of, and probably likes, the eroticism in blood-sucking. Me, I’m not entirely sold on the idea that blood alone is an instant arousal but I’m pretty sure it helps.

So imagine two vampires. One is covered in stolen blood, willingly shackled to a wall, and shaking. And the other leans his head down and sucks at the sticky trails before making deep, sharp slashes all across smooth skin again. Add all the elements: a heavily-shadowed room, near-black blood stains on a body that can’t age, and a silent, moonless night.

Will there be sex? Of course. The bloodlust can’t be ignored forever.

I want us to go deeper into the psyche of a vampire. S&M opens the door and exposes the parts of the vampire that I think gets too often ignored. Mostly in favor of pretty pale bodies and immortality. But I think there are elements of the vampire that would revel in the pain, either receiving or delivering.

And I think that has the possibility of being absolutely mesmerizing.

But hey, we know it’s not all about me. What’s your favorite type of vampire? The Angel? The Spike? Or maybe you just wanna stake ‘em all. Go ahead and tell me about it :)

In honor of my topic: Bad Dog is about a vampire running out of patience and the deeply buried secret in his werewolf.
