If you’d like to chime in and let us know your answers to the questions or drop a link to your post if you’re participating, please do so in the comments! And check out the IWSG website for more answers!
March 2 question – Have you ever been conflicted about writing a story or adding a scene to a story? How did you decide to write it or not?
Jayden: Absolutely. I write a lot of smut (pretty much exclusively smut) and over the years, my kinks have gotten less mainstream. It’s sexy as hell to me to write smut about golden showers, ass to mouth, etc. but sometimes I question if I should publish those scenes. I write for myself, but I like to share. So in the end, I write what I like and hope that others like it (or will skip over the ones they don’t like).
Richard: I think all writers are conflicted about something at some point or another. For me, the answer is almost always, “right it now, edit it later.” Usually I can tell part way through the scene if it’ll be a keeper or not.
Jayden: A donut, covered with crushed peanuts. Yum.
Richard: Hot fudge sundae. Mmmmm
2. Athletic mind blowing sex or slow sexy romantic sex, what do you want right now?
Jayden: Yes please? I guess slow and sexy romantic sex if I have to choose, but both please?
Richard: Jayden has never had slow, sexy, romantic sex in her life. So I’m going to pick that too, just to see if she can do it.
3. You are being interviewed and asked to comment on sex-work. What do you have to add to the discussion?
Jayden: Sex work is valid work. We should be protecting people who are providing this service, not criminalizing.
Richard: I feel like I need more context? Broadly, I think we should decriminalize and regulate sex work, the same as we do most other things.
4. Should sex-work be decriminalized?
Jayden: Absolutely.
Richard: Yes.
5. Fill in the blank. Don’t _____ .
Jayden: Don’t be a dick.
Richard: forget to drink your Ovaltine.
Bonus: Are you bored with people who are successful and unhappy? Why?
Jayden: I don’t know if “bored” is the right word. It sucks to be successful and unhappy, but at the same time, how do we define success? The old adage goes, “Money doesn’t buy happiness.” (Please note that there is absolutely a point where this is invalid. Excessive amounts of money don’t buy happiness but when most of your problems can be fixed with a moderate amount of money, then that’s a different story.)
Richard: I don’t think I have any particular opinions on successful/unhappy people as a catagory.
No those are not frozen ice-pops. Today TMI Tuesday posts on Monday, February 14, and it is Condom Awareness Day!
4. The best thing you tasted over the weekend was _____ .
Jayden: Hm. It’s Friday (we’re SO late) so the weekend was long ago. Oh, but we went to this really fancy restaurant. They had some amazing foods, but I think the peanut butter cheesecake was the best.
Richard: Fancy scotch!
5. What do you wish you had payed attention to?
Jayden: High School History class. I really just didn’t pay attention beyond trying to get an A in the class. I wish I had learned more.
Richard: Bitcoin in like 2012.

Jayden: Apparently I find other sources of intimacy. When it was lacking in the before times, I found others who could provide it for me. I didn’t even realize it was a deficit. I just…filled in the gaps.
Richard: Snuggle the cat. And roleplaying with people online.
2. The loss of which one of these would most affect your mental health or outlook on life? a. Loss of physical intimacy b. Loss of emotional intimacy
Jayden: Both would be awful. I don’t know how I could exist without them. I guess probably physical since at least I have a therapist.
Richard: I’m going to go with B, only because I think it implies the loss of A as well.
3. Gives us a tip on how to get more intimacy in our day-to-day lives.
Jayden: Live with someone who you can be intimate with? I have nothing more there. Sorry.
Richard: Set a snuggle alarm.
4. Do you think modern technology helps or hinders intimacy?
Jayden: It helps emotional intimacy but hurts physical intimacy. Richard and I got very emotionally intimate thanks to the internet.
Richard: I think it mostly helps (easier to find and get in touch with people) but it can be distracting.
5. Would you utilize the services of a professional cuddler?
Jayden: If Richard weren’t available, sure. But Richard is an excellent cuddler. In fact, I’m going to go cuddle him right now…
Richard: My ex was a professional cuddler, and I cuddled her plenty of times. So, I guess that’s a yes.

If you’d like to chime in and let us know your answers to the questions or drop a link to your post if you’re participating, please do so in the comments! And check out the IWSG website for more answers!
February 2 question – Is there someone who supported or influenced you that perhaps isn’t around anymore? Anyone you miss?
Jayden: Of course there are. My grandparents are a prime example. I miss them terribly. Although they didn’t always understand me, they always supported me. I hope they’d be proud of me if they could see me now.
Richard: I’m also going to say my grandparents. I wish I’d learned more of my Gramma’s recipes, and I think my grandfathers would’ve had all kinds of cool stuff to teach me. We have a lot of hobbies in common, and they supported me while they were alive.
Well hello there. Time to tell all for TMI Tuesday blog.
Scooby Booby
1. Does anyone still eat Jell-o? Do you?
Jayden: I like Jell-o from time to time, but it’s been a long time…
Richard: I just turned down Jell-o tonight!
2. Tell us about 10 things that scare you.
Jayden: 10? That’s a lot of things. Bugs. Spiders. Falling (sort of. Not really afraid, but I don’t like the feeling). Not being good enough. That’s gotta count for at least 10.
Richard: Ughhh, 10? Ants, 10 ants. I’m more scared of ants than I am of the next 9 things, I’m pretty sure.
3. If you were a rap artist what would your stage name be?
Jayden: I don’t have a clue… I used the generator provided below, and it came up with Inspectah Loving. I’m going with it.
Richard: DJ HOT LUNCH. The generator gave me Tots-Metal.
4. What is one thing you have had since childhood?
Jayden: I have a blanket and some stuffed animals that I keep around.
Richard: A giraffe my grandfather carved.
5. Romantically speaking I am an A+ when it comes to _____ .

Writing prompts, come get your writing prompts and have fun with TMI Tuesday blog.
1. I struggle with _____ .
Jayden: Insecurity. I can’t seem to shake it, but Richard does a good job reassuring me.
Richard: Dry skin. We got a humidifier, I hope it’ll help.
2. What do men like to talk about?
Jayden: Swiss Army Knives.
Richard: She’s right!
3. Do you eat food samples in grocery stores (consider pre-covid times)?
Jayden: Hell yeah! It was like appetizers on a Friday night!
Richard: Of course, why wouldn’t I?
4. What don’t you have figured out?
Jayden: Everything.
Richard: The dishwasher.
5. What would you wear for camouflage if you were hiding on a gingerbread house?
Jayden: Candy buttons, I guess?
Richard: I can make gingerbread, so I’m just going to use this as an excuse to make a couple pounds of it. I still have some tweaks I want to try for the recipe, so it’ll be a good chance to experiment.

So, oops. Usually I (Jayden) set up TMI Tuesday and send it to Richard to finish. This time he set it up, and…I forgot to go finish! Oh well. So we’re a week late…
1. What is one thing a your significant other could do to you to rock your world?
Jayden: I dunno, he rocks my world pretty regularly. A nice CNC scene would be fun.
Richard: I’ve been in a cuckold mood lately, so if she wants to find us a cuckcake that’d be pretty cool.
2. You have been granted the super power you always wanted. How will you abuse that power? Why
Richard: To repeat myself from Bloganuary tonight: David Xanatos some bitcoin.
3. For sexy play, would you rather be tied up or tie someone else up? Why?
Jayden: Be tied up.
Richard: I like both. At the moment, I think I’m in more of a being tied up mood.
4. What is your best physical and non physical asset?
Jayden: Physical, my boobs. Non-physical, my positivity.
Richard: Physical, probably my dick. Non-physical, my sense of humor.
5. Referring to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, if they were naming new dwarfs beyond the seven what would your name be and why?
Jayden: Uhh, I’d probably be happy, so…
Richard: You obviously want me to say horny, anonymous internet blog person.
