The pure thoughts of an uncluttered male mind

There's a famous scene in the 1998 film There's Something About Mary. A guy is wanking off in the bathroom, getting ready for a date with his dream girlfriend, when the potential girlfriend arrives early. The surprise of the doorbell ringing causes the guy to shoot his load. Pulling up his pants, he answers the door a few seconds later, only to realise that he had in fact shot his load into his hair. The real climax to this episode though is when the potential girlfriend grabs the spunk dangling from the guy's hair, assuming that it's hair gel, and uses it to put a quiff into her own hair at the front!

'Why on earth was the guy wanking off before his date?' I hear some of you ask. Well, it was because of some good advice that he'd received from a mate of his. The mate pointed out that before a guy has shot his load, he's usually wondering when the next opportunity will be to shoot his load! Especially if he's with someone he fancies. So a smart guy should unload himself before an important date, because the resulting uncluttered mind gives him the best chance to impress her, and hence perhaps sleep with her on many subsequent occasions.

When I saw the film, I thought that the advice offered by the mate was a stroke of genius. It certainly applies to me. If I'm honest with myself, I know that I'm often wondering then my next opportunity will be.

In my experience, once a guy has shot his load when it's either self-induced or with the help of another guy, there are two possible reactions. Some guys feel guilty about what they've just done, and want to exit the entire situation as quickly as possible. I reckon this reaction is more common with younger guys, and with guys who aren't yet comfortable having gay sex. But other guys relax, and for a short while, before either of us start wondering when our next opportunity will be, it's possible to have some marvellous conversations.

There's also no doubt that I enjoy meeting strangers for a bit of fun, and I won't pretend for one minute that I only do it for the chance of a good conversation afterwards. But I do enjoy a good chat, so a good conversation after a bit of fun is always welcome!
