Does that sound familiar? Successful men with peculiarities that are such a contrast to their day time personalities. Superficially, you can’t see them, but when you’re close enough to a guy to do a daily sphincter-squeeze on his dick, you’ll know their dirt.

I have a fair share of dating men with peculiarities. They range from cutesy to weird. An ex always asked me to scratch his back before falling asleep. Once I heard the snore, I stopped the scratching and put on my ear plugs. I initially thought that was cute until I realized scratching his back will make him fall asleep... every time and every where. I ended up recommending a narcolepsy specialist to him.

The weird one came unexpectedly. I met Robert, a nice corporate executive, at a party. He was a cute polyglot who enjoyed Neo-Romantic composers. The first time I stayed over at his place, I woke up to a breakfast in bed. The second time around, I woke up to a DeWalt toolbox. He wasn’t gonna show me his power drill. The toolbox was filled with vintage sex toys that he wanted us to try. I am not against sex toys, but vintage? Puhleez! Vintage, just like Steve Madden shoes, is soo last year!

To be fair, the cases above are extreme examples. Most of the peculiarities that I’ve seen are very mild, more like pet peeves. My friend Bob can’t fall asleep unless he has had a bowl of Lucky Charms with milk. Frank gets antsy if someone forgets to close the toilet lid.

What about me?
