Divorce is no fun, especially with three children involved. I was lucky that the family's long time nanny provided a constant source of care through the tumultuous separation.
I moved into a small house not too far from the house that had housed us all for nearly a decade. The kids came and went, but I discovered I had a freedom not experienced in years. When the kids were away I had the house to myself. Although that seems obvious, being able to walk around nude or surf porn freely is something most men married and with kids can only do in their imaginations.
I rediscovered the joys of solo sex. With the aid of internet porn and Literotica stories (not to mention unneeded but appreciated erectile disfunction drugs) I would oil up my cock and play with it for hours at a time. The variety of sensations possible using one hand on a well lubed cock is wonderful. Slow, fast, forehand, backhand, full strokes, rotating, finger tips, and everything else that felt good. Oddly the technique I find intensely stimulating is what I call The Spock, using the Vulcan greeting sign up the top side of my cock letting the soft connective skin between them pop over the cock head. Too intense to do for long. Gourmet masturbation is something I don't want to ever give up.
