RP: You don't strike me as someone who thinks about sex a lot.... My reading of you is that you're "regular" and not very "wild" or "different" and I think that this reaction to your "ordinariness" makes you particularly sexy.... When I look at one of your swinger photos what I'm looking at is mostly you "outside" the picture looking at what you're photographing.... It's you that I'm focusing on even though you're not in the picture. You standing there, half-naked, all naked, taking these photos of nextdoor neighbors having sex is something that turns me on.... So I guess my question is... what turns you on?
NH: I think I'm just worn out or way too busy.When I was much younger I had a real wild streak. I would love to have sex in public places, to rush home from dinner to get at each other, or actually have sex during dinner. I don't know if it's a side effect of watching so many people have sex but my libido is all but shot. I don't crave it; I don't masturbate much; and I don't really miss it. I'd rather have a piece of chocolate cake. I was always under the impression that when women were in their early 30s they hit their sexual peak. I'm still waiting. But I talk to my friends, married, mostly mums, and none of them want sex either. They'll give their husbands blowjobs to avoid having intercourse. I used to love giving blowjobs. Turned me on. I'd like to think I'm just dormant, like a bear hibernating for the winter, and when the right guy comes along I'll be ferocious. I want to be that sexy librarian again, the one that may not be much to look at in public, but once you get her behind closed doors, watch out. I did love sex and plan on doing so again. I think it's mostly a matter of finding that person who actually knows how to push my buttons. I guess the long-winded answer to your question about what turns me on is this: a man who's not scared to use a little force when necessary, can deduce what I'm thinking and needing without asking, and makes me laugh until tears roll down my cheeks. A strong wit: That's my greatest turn on.
