| My friend, C |
When my friend C expressed an interest in being the object of my fetish for muscle, I was very excited. I also had some personal hangups I would need to overcome before jumping in wholeheartedly. As soon as C left my house, I decided to write out my concerns in a letter to Dan Savage. After writing it, I called Dan Savage's podcast voicemail, read the letter through, and promptly forgot about it, wondering vaguely if it might be mentioned on Dan's podcast in the coming weeks.
And then, about a week later, I was driving back to work from a lunch break when my phone rang. I answered on my car's bluetooth sound system. It was Dan Savage himself, and he made me pull over so I could talk with him safely, which I did immediately. We had a great conversation; he is so personable and familiar it was a bit like chatting with an old friend.
If you follow the link and don't want to listen to Dan's opening rant or the whole podcast, I am the first caller and my call begins at exactly 9:50 on the podcast timeline and our conversation runs to 20:45.

I have to say, the advice worked. Recognizing that my friend would probably not have invited this interaction if there was nothing in it for him helped me allow the interactions to unfold naturally. C knows what I look like, knows what I am into, and asked me anyway.
C visited me about a week after the podcast was released. I had messaged him a couple of times asking if he listened to the podcast without letting him know that I had been on it. He hadn't, though, so I played it for him and it opened the door for a new chapter in our friendship that now includes workouts and body worship. I will continue to explore this territory and journal about it here for as long as it inspires us.
Be Well!
