Do u have any tips on how to suck dick good? I wanna have my man shaking lol
Every guy likes different things. I personally do the following:
Kiss the tip and flick it with my tongue. Flatten it out and lick it from the base to the tip and then curl my tongue around it and move downwards again. Once I’m back to the tip I take it into my mouth and suck it while I swivel my tongue back and forth on the bottom of the tip (drives my boyfriend crazy). Then I start bobbing while continuing to move my tongue side to side and swirl my tongue around the tip before I go back downward and quicken the pace while stroking him tightly with one hand and playing with his balls with the other.
Hope I helped 💓

Practicing With Strong Emotions
‘When you touch a hot stove, as soon as you become aware of the pain you immediately pull your hand away. You don’t let it rest in the burner in order to explore the pain. In the same way, we stay present with strong emotion only very briefly at first. The instruction is : short moments again and again. Rather than trying to endure prolonged exposure to intense feeling, we touch in for only two or three seconds, then pause and breathe gently before touching in again. Or we might simply stay with the troubling feeling for five or six minutes and then go on with our day, more in touch with our emotions and, therefore, less likely to be dragged around by them.’
- Pema Chodron, Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change.
SPRING FOWARD
Since I last posted, I’ve made sure to keep myself busy with projects, friends, and coffee shops. I want to try to have a much better outlook on life and appreciate what I have and what I’m truly blessed with. Want to really get myself to have a busy, yet fun summer.
I enjoyed myself with coffee shop trips with my friends and being out in Los Angeles. I tried a little place called Dinette, in Echo Park. It actually used to be a “mom and pop” place that made amazing burgers. But this new location fits the newly “hipster-flooded” Echo Park. Little pricey, but a fun treat for once in awhile. I even visited the “Bates Motel” art installation off of Sunset Blvd. Originally the Sunset Pacific Motel, this motel is painted completely white by Vincent Lamouroux, including the palm trees around it. It’s a strange and vague art installation, but a very unique sight to see in Los Angeles.
One of the best events I got to partake in recently was the Lana Del Rey concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Now, I am a huge fan of hers and have been trying to see her for literally a couple years now. I was a little hesitant seeing her live, since her debut live TV performances were not that great. But she blew me away! She did an amazing job, was genuine with her fans (to the point she took five minutes to take photos with the people in the front), and looked amazing. I had far-ish seats, but saw her perfectly. Love her even more now!
Even though work is stressful, I’m putting effort into enjoying myself. If that means working on my room decor or going to a 90′s themed party, I just want to have fun. Hope you all have an awesome day!
