MJ,

Felt making? Really? I am hard pressed to imagine getting past this in order to get turned on. I am also a fan of the "bad" boy and in the case of H I mistaked his counter-culture, outspoken, edginess for being a sexual bad boy. So, I got all heated up and imagined him into being someone he was not. I imagined him to be like the movie "shy bad boy" who isn't really bad but only shy and is actually very expressive once he finds "the one". So, if I turned out to be the "one" I expected him to open up sexually so that his sexual self matched his other self. See? Convoluted, I know.

See MJ, I think you actually need the variety of bad boy like this one I knew in high school. He was a good student, smart, accomplished and he also enjoyed partying and girls but kept it on the down low. He was a flirt and teachers loved him. He had a way of getting a girl all heated up to the point that she would make the first move. He had girlfriends on and off and I had boy friends on and off. In between we had a high school level "friends with benefits" thing. When we were in relationships it was "no harm/no foul" and we were able to be friends without jealousy. He knew how to spar verbally and physically, had a great intellect and was "bad" without being "bad". You need someone who is bad because he is comfortable with himself, knows what he likes and wants and can read you like a book - incisive. A guy who can be bad without being a bad guy. Know any guys like this?
