So, I talked to a guy last night that I've known for years. We rarely catch each other online because we have vastly different schedules. The fact that he lives two time zones away doesn't help with that whole scheduling thing. I was getting tired and bored of being online, but he still wanted to catch up, so he asked if he could call me. I said yes, but said "I'm not promising sex. In fact it is highly unlikely." I had mentioned earlier in our chat that I was "out of commission" so he knew why I was giving a preemptive no. What I didn't say was that his phonesex style really doesn't do it for me, and so I'm totally okay with not talking to him for long stretches. You just can't say that to someone.
So he called, and we chatted, and it got semi-late. Conversation gravitated, as it inevitably does in calls like this, until I teasingly forced him to admit that he was hard. He didn't want to tell me because he didn't want me to feel pressured into doing anything when I had already said no. I pointed out that what I had actually said was that I wasn't going to do anything. He was free to do whatever he wanted. He asked if I wanted to listen.
Yeah, that doesn't really do it for me either. I like to be an active participant, but, whatever. I didn't want to be a cocktease- I have a reputation to uphold you know. So I said "Sure." Problem is, he's reasonably silent. As I know I have mentioned before, you have to make noise, or there is nothing for the person on the other end of the phone but mostly dead air.
You know what happens when you have a phone full of dead air white noise in your ear, punctuated by the very occasional breathy sigh or moan, and you're already kinda tired? Yup. You doze off. Thank GOD I didn't doze off enough to start snoring. I kept catching myself and making myself stay awake. Not only that, but he wouldn't talk, and he didn't want me to talk- just listen. I feel kinda bad about it, but I started planning my day today, while inserting a few timely "mm-hmm"s and "yes baby"s in a few places.
He fininshed, we hung up, and I went to sleep. It was completely unremarkable, though he seemed to enjoy himself. If I didn't have an opposition to it, I bet I could make bank as a phone sex operator.
