I exercised for the first time in a week today! It didn’t seem like that long, but when I realized it was Thursday and I hadn’t done anything I put on my running shoes and hopped on the dreadmill. Even though my hip is buggered, I can still walk fast, so I have to remember to keep on the dreadmill while I’m off my regular training. I don’t want to lose my cardio. Studies show that athletes can lose up to 50% of their cardio during a 2 week layoff. Eek! On the weight side of things, I have been eating according to my lower activity level, so I am not worried about that aspect.
On the very positive side, I have a gorgeous girl who constantly gives me wonderful feedback about my gnarly old Wolfe body, and I adore her for it. Realistically I know my body is attractive, and more impirtantly it is fit and strong and allows me (other than my hip) to be extremely active and pursue hard core sports.
I really have to cut out the coca cola. I have been drinking 1-2L a day and it makes me feel gross. Aside from the fact that it’s not healthy, I get nauseous and get headaches. I really need to do something about the cola issue. Water. I like water. I also like orange juice and rasperry juice. I’ve been writing about this issue for as long as I’ve had an online journal, so we’ll see if this is the time were I can kick the cola habit. It is 100% neccessary.
I redesigned our BBW site last night. I spent 8 hours redesigning the entire free area. There’s a tonne of new material on the site now. I am hoping it results in more signups. I’ve mentioned before that we’re marketing the websites a little differently to try to showcase ourselves in a way that people will find more appealing. In total we’ve redesigned 4 sites now, BBW, Foot Fetish, DarkNursery, and DominAction. We will very likely leave HeadShave as is because the feedback we get on that site is very positive.
As for my site, well, I’m really not sure what I’m going to do with it. I haven’t done any photos since January and I know I am marketing the site to the completely wrong segment of the polulation. I’m primarily marketing to the bi and gay male markets right now which isn’t working at all since I don’t have any m/m content or any m/m/f content. All of the feedback I do get comes from women that have seen my site and like the fact that it’s tasteful and erotic as opposed to hardcore and gross. It’s a quandry though as men generally pay for porn much more frequently than women.
I’m open to suggestions.

Suprisingly I got a lot done this weekend. We had a photo shoot on Saturday night for the headshave site. A fellow from the UK that we had chatted with for quite some time online came to Vancouver to shave the head of a friend of Aya’s. The culmination of all the planning was a fun 2 hour photo shoot of a lovely red haired lady being shaved bald by a tall pierced and tattoed man. It was a lot of fun.
We spent most of today showing our friend from the UK around Vancouver. We tried to fit as much as we could into the day as he leaves tomorrow to fly back to the UK. We hit Stanley Park, Chinatown, The North Shore, and then Katt & he did the skytrain route for a good view of the various neighborhoods. He’s been delightful company and a great conversationalist. I’m happy we finally got a chance to meet him.
I’m pretty tired though. In the last 3 weeks I’ve averaged less than 2/3 of my normal amount of sleep, and haven’t always been eating as much as I should, so I’m sure I’ve lost some weight as my fatigue has increased. I’ve been having so much fun that sleep is usually an after thought!
My girl has been without Internet access today, so she hasn’t been able to see that photo of her bottom on my journal yet. Unfortunately the bruises and welts seem to have faded fairly quickly and she’s only got a few small lumps left. Darn those fast healing bottoms!
Tomorrow I’m going to invite Tanuki over so she can use the computer and work on some web projects she’s got on the go. I understand how impactful internet withdrawl can be. I spend a good 8-10 hours a day on the internet working and without it I’d be pretty much screwed!
And with that last yawn, I am off to bed.

I’ve spent most of the last few days revamping three of our websites. FootFetish, DominAction, and Dark Nursery have all been reformatted to try to increase sign ups and offer a more tantalizing view of what’s inside the members areas.
Our goal originally was to offer as much free content as we could. We figured that people would keep coming back and eventually sign up if we offered enough for them to be interested in on the free side, but that never actually materialized. People kept coming back, but the sign ups were abysmal. Our bandwidth skyrocketed with no gian, which sucked. I’d love to give away free stuff, but not if it means we end up at a loss.
So after listening to some sage advice, we decided to rework the sites to strike a balance between offering free content for those who can’t afford memberships, and keeping enough back so that those who can afford a membership will really consider buying one.
Making erotic art/porn for a living is an interesting combination of lifestyle, passion, and business. In an ideal world I’d give it away for free, but since I need to pay my costs and make a living I have to run the websites like a business.
We’ve been running the sites now for just over 4 years, starting with one little site called Erotimania, which has since been reformatted into a sex education site, that eventually blossomed into a virtual pornucopia of smut! I still remember getting our first sale and how excited I was. I still check transactions first thing in the morning when I wake up!

After being bombarded with really clueless images in e-mail today from HNG’s (Horny Net Geeks), I have decided that I am going to write an article, and perhaps even teach a little course, on photography for the HNG.
Really, just because you are a HNG, it doesn’t mean you have to have such crappy photos! While I love the puffed out chest photos meant to conceal the spare tire, and the gratuitous close up cock shot with the circle of bald hair cut out of a forest (it’s like a bloody clear cut), why not pay attention to lighting and camera angles!?
Ok, so seriously, does anyone else notice a lack of style in many of the photographs of men on the net, or is it just me? You don’t have to have a perfect body to have/take great photographs!

The catch up part first.
At the risk of sounding repetitive and mushy (I am both), I’m loving the time I spend with tanuki. I’m amazed at how close we’ve gotten so quickly. I’m normally a very cautious person and it takes me a while to develop strong feelings and intimacy with people, but the opposite is true with tanuki. Being with her feels completely natural and almost effortless. I adore her!
When I decided that I was open to poly again I figured I might have some baggage from previous poly relationships come up that I might need to deal with, but overall it’s been really natural. My main fears were that I’d meet someone that was poly in ideal but not in actuality or that I’d meet someone that disliked my other partner. In my last poly relationship my two partners didn’t really have much in common and neither had the desire to hang out together -at all-. That didn’t work for me and it caused me no end of anxiety. It left me feeling torn down the middle and unable to meet their needs or my own needs. I am SO happy that this hasn’t been an issue in my relationship with tanuki! That tanuki likes Katt and wants to develop a friendship with Katt and Katt’s boy, and that Katt likes tanuki and wants to develop a friendship with tanuki makes me feel GOOD! You really have no idea.
I feel really positive and am really looking forward to the future!
On another note: Physically I’m a little battered right now. I pulled a few muscles, my right groin, hip, and hamstring, and I’m just entirely too sore. I know I should take 4-6 weeks and just recouperate but that would put me too far behind in my training so I’m going to buck up and go back again mid week and attempt to adjust my training to compensate.
Tomorrow night Katt is doing her age play workshop for BIO. The details can be found here.
The Shameless Self Promotion Part:
I spent part of the evening setting up my web hosting page properly, so if you are in need web hosting, please check out the services I offer!
I redesigned my journal tonight. I got bored with monochromatic white, so I did it in monochromatic black instead!
Yes, I do realize that there is a photo of my with my dick in my hand at the top. One might get the idea that I am an exhibitionist or some such thing. Perish the thought!
On another note, I hurt my hip flexor tonight while working out, but I don’t think it’s anything major. My hips normally click when I move them in certain ways, but my right hip was locking at times, which usually means I’ve done something stupid.
On the bright side, I get to see tanuki tomorrow!
Life is good!
