In the past, when I worked a nine-to-five, I made sure to treat myself before punching in at work. Whether it was a refrigerated bar of chocolate, someone’s discarded caffè latte, or a prolonged piss-and-stroke, I found a variety of ways to lighten my load. I had to lighten it, of course, because the Maryland minimum wage was $6.15 per hour. So it took a lot of motivation to get up and out the door for work.
These days, as my minimum has increased, I can get up and out of bed. But I have had occasional problems getting up my dick.
I’ve come up with all sorts of strategies to combat this development. Before such-and-such a client applies the prison strap, for instance, I might close my eyes and hum, think of my 8.5″ boyfriend plugging me with his fuckstick, or air conduct Mozart’s final, epitaphic “Introitus.”
Needless to say, Mozart doesn’t always do the trick.
In an “industry” in which workers churn out the money shots like Model-Ts on Ford’s assembly line, it’s understandably tough to “get it up.” There are, however, a number of familiar suggestions.
The now-archived resource HOOK has the following advice for male-bodied sex workers who have a case of the loosies:
“If staying hard is a challenge with a client, you can squeeze the base of your penis or gently massage the testicles or prostate gland to produce an erection. To fake it, try squeezing the base of your penis or using a cock ring.”
There is something missing from the advice, however, the importance of feeling comfortable in your own skin! Just being comfortable, with your body, your partner, and your role, does wonders at times when a cock ring isn’t going to cut the snuff. And little treats before a meet-up – in my case, piss and chocolate – go a long way in making the day an easier one to work.
The nature of the work relationship, of course, demands the same attitude from the client . . . but that’s another story.
