Last night was just...


I had the most wonderfully sexy intellectual conversation last night with Mouhamed, the new guy...  Like when a man's intelligence just completely turns you on.  The way the sentences drop off his tongue.  The way he speaks.   His thoughts and the way he formulates them is sexy.  We talked about everything from Islam to gender to politics to sex.  A lot of the time I have the upper hand in intellectual conversations with men, but Mouhamed makes me feel vulnerable almost.  His intelligence keeps me on my toes and I like that.  He elevates my intellect.  Whereas some men try to temper me down, Mouhamed handles me effortlessly.  This guy is special.  He just gets into my head.  Get's me all foggy-headed.  mmmmm...  It's just nice.  Ever meet someone who you just click with?  Who the conversation just comes so easy with?  When the two of you laugh easily with each other?  It's cute because sometimes we start laughing at each other when we realize exactly what the other was thinking, but that we were both putting on a front.  He was dropped into my life two months before I am to leave for Africa.  So I recognize that we have to be mature about everything.  Which in a strange way is even more of a turn on.  I guess it's the fact that we have to be responsible and patient.  I may not see him again before I leave for Namibia.  Remember, he's in Atlanta, and I'm in NYC.  Yes, he is Muslim.  But he's openly admitted that he falls victim to the temptations in America.  But I've noticed that his religion has also taught him a lot of restraint and control, as it pertains to a woman and sex which I could definitely learn from.  All of this and we've only spent one night together.  And we did not have sex.  I think the lesson here is that the power of two minds can be one of the biggest aphrodisiacs.  I woke up with this man on my mind this morning.. patience is a virtue.

  1. Ahh yes, Senegalese men are irrestible.I was just in my favorite Senegalese restaurant yesterday talking for hours. Nothing like great conversation to get you stimulated. It's the only way to go. How old is he? Have you asked him if he has a wife or children back home? It's good info to know upfront.

  2. Hey girl!

    He's 30, has been married and divorced (in the U.S.) and has one child who his mother in Senegal takes care of (I keep meeting African men who have that scenario, lol). We've def had a discussion about polygamy because he told me his father had several wives, and so I asked him about his take on that... he said he could go either way... lol.. I try not to judge because there are pros and cons to it in their society, but I know that could never work for me!

    But yeah, just this year I started meeting several Senegalese men, and they are like princely. Just so regal in their conversation and mannerisms. I love it.. Mouhamed and I have gotten into some seriously deep thought provoking analytical conversation. I have GOT to visit Senegal someday in the very near future.
