We’re celebrating 8 big years of GGT this year with a look back at some of the favourite stories we’ve published.
Murray Jose explores the power of nasty thoughts.
(From the former GGT column, ‘Poz P.O.V.’)
There I was all organized and excited to start spring cleaning at nine on a recent Saturday morning – but somehow by 9:30 I was on a telephone chat line cruising men.
How did that happen? I had no real control; my libido just kicked in all of a sudden, leaving my Saturday plans derailed.
Although I enjoy working around the house, it can be one of those activities that I find makes me procrastinate. Was I subconsciously becoming horny to put off getting to work? What better motivation to avoid doing something than to be overcome with sexual desire?
It has dawned on me that my lust factor increases at all kinds of unexpected times. I use nasty thoughts to keep me awake while driving long distances. Fresh air and loud music only go so far in keeping my eyes open and on the road, but somehow it seems that reminiscing about particularly nasty exploits wakes me right up. (Unfortunately, the resulting raging libido can make the drive somewhat physically uncomfortable and frustrating if there is no sexual outlet waiting at the end of the drive.)
Oddly enough, another cause for increased lust is actually getting laid. Logically, it seems to me that if I have sex, I should be somewhat satiated and less randy. Upon closer examination however, this has not proven to be the case. In fact the opposite is true. The more sex I get, the more I want and the more randy I become..

Perhaps the most unexpected cause for lust recently was a completely ridiculous reason. I hooked up with someone sexually, whom I had been interested in romantically for some time, but who was unavailable. Later that night, my mind went to white picket fences and winter nights in front of the fire. Over night though, my mind did a flip flop and realized that on the other side of that imaginary white picket fence might be a monogamous relationship. That idea alone resulted in horniness that raged for several days.
Of course there are several obvious causes of my current horniness: springtime, certain foods and various party drugs. But overall I am surprised by the variety and complexity of causes and situations which lead there. However since it is spring and I do seem to be very horny, perhaps it’s time for me to stop thinking and start doin
