Before the day was over I went to the gym again and did some cardio at the bike station and some toning exercises to turn my behind into iron butts(Q's favorite part of my body). All the while reading Wine for Dummies. This was a pretty good book. Not for dummies at all. Very straightforward and without the typical wine snob talk.
When I came back from the gym, Q seemed to sense my determination to have sex, since sex and working out were going hand-in-hand for me. I wasn't going to skip a day of sex nor a day of working out. Regardless, he protested again. But he really protested this time. He said he was feeling aches all over and therefore could not see how he could do it. I told him that we must do it no matter what. Like reaching the Mt. Everest we have to keep on climbing until we reach the summit, which is reaching the 30th day of continuous sex. The truth is this whole thing has taken on another meaning for me, apart from curing us of our ennui. It was a way of disciplining myself and setting a deadline and finishing it no matter what. I explained this to him , yet he was reluctant. He did seem really exhausted. When he would not budge I turned my back to him and made it know I was very disappointed. How can he be inspired to do anything when I am acting like this, he said. I guess he's right.
After a moment of consideration he told me he'd try. He pushed through from the same lazy man's spooning position, and went on for a while. So long that I started to wonder when it was going to be over. Then he pulled out and was about to finish himself off. I reached down and noticed blood. He seems to always usher in my period when he penetrates me. I ran to the bathroom and cleaned myself. He didn't finish himself off and turned to go to bed. Maybe he was mad at me. He said he's abused by me. There is some truth to that. I was grateful that he had obliged despite being tired. Oddly I felt a great sense of trust and protection. I scratched his head and stroked his back, which he always appreciates. Then we went to bed.
I decided to quit smoking too.
