Member-only story
It was Thursday night. I walked in on Lo taking a shower. “Why is there a wineglass in here?” I asked.
“Because I thought I’d have a sensual, romantic evening.”
“Only you would make a sensual, romantic date with yourself in the shower.”
“Hardly. But, if you must know, I had originally planned on a bath, surrounded by candles.”
“And?”
“I wanted to cut to the chase.”
I looked in at her and saw that she had the hand-held shower head between her legs.
“Only you could cheat yourself out of a romantic date in order to get lucky — with yourself!”
After her climax, she got out of the shower and as she was drying off, she said, “I’m trying to cultivate pleasurable habits.”
I snickered.
“What?”
“Pleasurable habits are your forte. I don’t think you need to ‘cultivate’ them.”
“No, no. Not those sorts of pleasurable habits. Normally it would be things like getting coffee at a café, strolling through a museum. Doing yoga. But during these pandemic times we’re in, I need to discover and foster different pleasurable habits. What are your pleasurable habits?”
“You.”
