\u00a0 Men are more fun to watch than television is to me right now.<\/p>\n<p>Part of that is no doubt hormonal.\u00a0 I&#8217;ve got the sex drive of an 18 year old boy&#8230;but as I drive around in my hot little red car\u00a0and move through my life I&#8217;m constantly aware of the men around me.\u00a0 They have become more than eye candy&#8230;they have\u00a0BECOME\u00a0my candy.<\/p>\n<p>Oh and I seem to just enjoy every type out there!\u00a0\u00a0 The young ones&#8230;all fresh and confused as to why I&#8217;m staring at them with my smirk.\u00a0\u00a0 The bold ones who recognize that look in my eye and grin back at me.\u00a0\u00a0 The married ones who follow up on that look in my eyes, naughty us!<\/p>\n<p>The sexy, bold Latino&#8230;hmmm very nice, never too shy to smile when he likes what he sees.\u00a0\u00a0 Or the men who missed a shave that day or have nice trim facial hair&#8230;help me, I just want to touch it!\u00a0\u00a0 Or the incredible blue eyes of the waiter serving me dinner.\u00a0\u00a0 And, believe it or not, I&#8217;ve just become obsessed with the short guys.\u00a0\u00a0 Someone my height is suddenly very appealing to me&#8230;which is odd considering I once &#8216;dissed a guy on national television&#8230; I was on Love Connection&#8230; over him being short.\u00a0 I blame David&#8230;all of you Davids!<\/p>\n<p>Yes, every woman notices the really good looking man or the one with a hot body&#8230;I just seem to also notice them and ALL the others.\u00a0 Sometimes it&#8217;s just a smile or a nice silhouette from the back, but every guy in category Two has something to admire.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;m admiring it all.\u00a0\u00a0 Like I said&#8230;men have become my candy.<\/p>\n<p>Did I mention I was a sugarholic&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And don&#8217;t get me started on what I want to do to them.\u00a0 Why do you think I write erotica!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love people.\u00a0 They are just fascinating stories waiting to be heard and retold to others.\u00a0 Also&#8230;they are an unsuspecting audience that hasn&#8217;t heard any of my material stories yet nor been Wowed by my bullshit personality.
