Before I regale you with tales from my second trip to Jamaica, I want to do a brief catch up of April 17-24. Let's see
April 17. I had my Anal Sex 101 workshop at Toys in Babeland Soho. The class was sold out! It was a fantastic crowd, very mixed, very engaged. The class flew by, I answered lots of great questions, then chatted with people afterward as they shopped.
April 18. My big brother Toni's birthday. Happy Birthday Toni! Opn had a big surprise planned for him, which all of T's friends participated in: a beautiful photo scrapbook-a great idea, a great gift!
April 19. I have not been to a TES meeting in a really long time. I saw that the topic was "The Enema Within: Confessions Of An Anal Addict" with Nancy Ava Miller from New Mexico, and I have been meaning to bring a friend to introduce him to TES, so off I went. The Lone Wolf and his cub were there, and I have not seen them in so long, so that was wonderful! We needed a chance to catch up, and I can't wait until the madness of April ends, and I can hang out with all my friends again! The class was entertaining, and although Nancy and I don't see eye to eye on the subject of enemas (she does three coffee enemas a day!), it was great food for thought. Unfortunately I missed the demo because I had to leave early, but I wanted some quality time with the boy since I had been in the city seeing clients and working all day. Today is the fourth anniversary of the day I put my collar around his neck. Four years, and I adore him more every day.
April 20. Wow, there's just nothing like anal sex at 9 in the morning. OK, before your mind starts to go there, let me explain. This morning, I did a special anal sex workshop for all the employees of Toys in Babeland in New York. They called it an "Anal In Service," which we all laughed about. Since all twenty six of them had already seen my Anal Sex 101 workshop before, this was a chance for me to expand on more advanced topics, answer their specific questions, and address the most common issues that customers ask them about. It was very interactive and lively, and that was before the live demo. That's right, they wanted a demo, which they can't do at a regular public workshop. I recruited Jessica NYC, who I have now demonstrated on twice at Dark Odyssey to be my model. I admit I have developed a little bit of a crush on both Jessica and her partner in crime, Monkey Girl, so I really looking forward to seeing them both. Unfortunately, Monkey Girl had an emergency, so Jessica arrived solo. She was wearing a plaid pleated skirt (my favorite!) and I had a bouquet of lavendar roses for her. I like to give flowers to people before I fuck them in the ass. I started by playing with Jessica's ass and her bits and quickly I had two fingers inside her. I slipped the clear acrylic Uranus in her ass, which is one of my favorite things to do at a demo. Then, one by one, each staff member came up to shine a flashlight and look all the way inside Jessica's ass. Since I know Jessica loves to be on display, I asked that each person announce why they had gotten up at 9 in the morning to come to this workshop (most common answer: "To see Jessica's ass!"). It was great fun, so many of them were blown away to see what they saw. (Pink. Clean. Healthy. Happy.) I know it was turning Jessica on. Then, we moved on to putting the Tristan butt plug in. I started pressing on the base of it and playing with her, taunting her about being in front of a room full of people. She took over stimulation duty, I kept pumping the toy in her ass and talking dirty to her, then she came, hard. It was really fuckin' hot! I answered more questions, then went on my merry way. What a way to start the day.
The rest of my day was filled with work and it was pretty hectic. I met up with the boy in the city for an early dinner, and he surprised me with my early birthday present: a T-Mobile Sidekick! OMG, I love it so much. Now, I can email and surf the web wherever I am. The first person I emailed is the only friend I have who also has a Sidekick: Joanna. If you wanna know my super-secret email address on the Sidekick, email me!
I really, really wanted to go to Joanna's Burning Angel party. She called me to remind me. Then, she posted an entry on her blog titled "IF TRISTAN TAORMINO DOESN'T COME TO THIS PARTY I'M GOING TO END IT RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY PERFORMANCE"! I did not see the entry until the next morning and by that evening my headache was fast transforming into a migraine, so I ate something and went to bed. I know, what a way to woo my future sex slave, right?
April 21. Today, I spoke to two sections of a Human Sexuality class in the Social Work School of Columbia. We opted for an off campus apartment to support the striking teaching assistants. It turned out to be a much warmer, nicer atmosphere than a classroom anyway. I gave a talk about what I have learned as a sex educator, then answered lots of questions. The entire audience was women! They were great, so smart, so interesting, it was like hanging out with a big group of friends. Afterward, the boy and I stayed and chatted with the class professor, Lauren Taylor and her husband. They are a pretty amazing couple, and we plan to keep in touch with them. We ate at a Japanese restaurant across from campus, then it was the long subway ride home to watch a TiVo'd Survivor episode and get to bed.
April 22. A rare day of rest. Well, sort of. I didn't have an event, but I still had plenty of work to do. I worked on two writing assignments: the 36th installment of Anal Advisor and my next column for the Voice, which is called "Dirty Bananas" and is all about my first trip to Jamaica with Reality X: The Search for Adam & Eve. I worked on it early, so it could be edited before I left for my second trip to Jamaica. It should be up Tuesday, May 3.
April 23. The boy's aunt and uncle arrived in New York from California this morning for a little vacation. He woke up super early to pick them up from the airport (they took the red eye). They came back to our place, took a nap, then we headed out to brunch in the Slope. Then he took them into the city to their hotel, and I went home to do more work on my writing projects.
April 24. Took 5 subways (should have been 2) to the Bronx to go to a Yankees game with Major Tomo. Turns out M. was sick and couldn't join us. Tomo scored amazing seats from a vendor at work: the best seats I've ever sat in at Yankee Stadium! We had a blast. I let the boy indulge in ballpark cuisine, and he took full advantage: a hot dog, soda, cotton candy, cheese fries, some of my pretzel and some of Tomo's Cracker Jacks. The Yankees totally clobbered the Texas Rangers, and there were some pretty exciting plays. I brought the Sidekick, so we emailed photos to MJ, Bobby, and others right from the game!
