Today I am attending the second day of the Xplore Festival. Its been a lot of fun so far, but I was dissapointed to miss the first day.
So far today I have done a workshop on Dirty Talk. Very entertaining, and gave me lots to think about.
The second session was on Domination and Submission and Tantra. I dont get into spirituality, but the breathing and connecting with another person was good.

To be a happy healthy person you need balance in your life. Good food in moderation, exercise, companionship, challenges, and yes sex.
Our society is very good at telling us that we need to exercise more, eat better etc. But sadly there is no-one talking about the role that sexuality can play in improving out lives. It’s treated by most people as something that happens to some people and (if they are lucky) it’s good.
I have come to realise though that regular sex and sexual play can drastically alter a person’s personality and life in a positive way! We have all seen it, or experienced it ourselves at one time or another, a workmate or friend turning up with that rosy cheeked look and a smile that just screams “I’ve been having really good sex”. We treat that though as just a passing thing. It’s a new relationship, or some life change means that you are having more sex with your partner. And for a while the world is a rosy place and you are chilled out and happy. But then the gloss wears off, things get dull, and sex goes back to being ho-hum, or absent.
I have just had a quick look at the download statistics for my movie Ten Minute To Orgasm. What can I say but OH WOW.
In the seven days since I posted the video it has been downloaded over 100,000 times.
That is simply stupendous, I am lost for words …
My website traffic has gone up by more than an order of magnitude. Lucky the server can handle it.
I think that I will just say “thank you” and leave it at that.

I am sure that I am not the only one wanting the rain to stop, but I suppose that I don’t have that much to complain about really. I haven’t been flooded out of house and home, or washed off a bridge.
But I am heartily sick of rugging up like the Micheline Man to get on the bike and go to Sydney and come home again.
Seriously though, I hope that everyone effected by the flooding is high and dry and safe.
In other news I just can’t believe the response that I have had to my video Ten Minutes To Orgasm. There will definitely be a sequel and it will likely happen in the next week or two, time permitting. Thanks again to everyone who has emailed me with complements, suggestions, scripts for short films (!) and offers to co-star. I am really blown away by your enthusiasm and I hope that I can live up to it :-)
So. Stay tuned!
John.
Having experienced a foot of snow in the Victorian high country in late December, I won’t say that this nasty weather so close to Christmas is unprecedented, but it is definitely disappointing!
For my part, I am sitting in a “panorama suit” at Rydges hotel in Rosehill listening to U2 and Talking Heads with an excellent view of the rain and cloud. Not exactly what I had hoped for, but at least I don’t have to go anywhere in it today!
Stay safe and be careful on the roads out there.
Hope
When I wrote the title to this post it was just a throwaway line because I am feeling a bit sleepy. However I decided to Google the term out of curiosity, just to see if anything interesting came up. The first hit was the Wikipedia reference …
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Nod
I have to say, I had no idea that The Land of Nod (according to religious tales) is actually on the east of Eden. Or a small hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire in the UK …
The things that you can learn on the Internet!
Well, I hope that everyone has been staying out of the rain and having a good week. I am off to Melbourne on Saturday, so if you are dropping in to Sexpo in the afternoon, then you might spot me there! If so, give me a wink, or say hello if your feeling brave!
John.
This is just a quick note to mention that I will be at Sexpo in Melbourne on Saturday the 26th. I haven’t been to Sexpo in many years so it will be fun to see what is new in the world of commercial sexuality.

I am currently enduring hotel checking limbo. Meaning that the earliest that I can check in is 1,00pm, and it’s now only just after 10.30am I had to drop my bike off early this morning to get it serviced. So here I am whiling away the time in the hotel bar.
Thankfully I have my laptop and phone, so I am pretty much self-sufficient and able to do “real work” if I choose.
On the off chance that you are in the Rose Hill area and feel like meeting me for a coffee, then send me a text, or give me a call. I would enjoy some company :-)
John.
I have found myself once again at the New Orleans Cafe in Crows Nest on this wet afternoon. I had quite an enjoyable lunch and thanks to the staff generously allowing me to use a power point, I am not getting down to some work (thanks to my laptop and smartphone – have I ever told you I just love what technology allows us to do!).
Anyway, the actual point of this post was to share some grafiti and other stuff from the Mens Room here. First up was this grafiti. When I think of the real New Orlean (although I have never been there personally), I think of food and music … I think this really embodies it!
I am not sure if this is going to be legible, but I will upload a high res version of the image another day if it’s not. The message though is this: Never, ever, fuck with the person who prepares your food! It’s a heart warming reminder for all those under appreciated cooks out there ;-)
John.
I don’t often say this, but Curse This Rain!
I am about to get on the bike and head to Sydney and it’s raining. Not my favourite way to travel in the wet. My car (which has been at the mechanics for three weeks) is finally home and working, however the fairly major nature of the work done to it means that it is limited to just running around on short trips for a while until it is properly bedded in again.
So, bike it is once again. The road works around my area don’t help either, making a slow trip slower and meaning that the bike is definitely going to need another wash when I get home!
