He does indeed like self control. I know I have said this before but he absolutely sailed through boot camp and his entire gig with the USMC. It was nothing to him because bodily discomforts are nothing to him. He has this way of transcending it that makes it easier on him than others. He would look at the guys crying on the side of the road, after a 20 mile hump in the desert hills and think "what's the matter with these guys??"
I don't think it is religious based; I think he was solely focused on the dang alarm clock. See, his mind was not in the right spot (kids being stinkers, etc) and he can't wind down.
Now, I knew then that I could have gotten him in the mood. If I had carried on long enough with the stroking he would have caved.
But you know what? I deserve more than a man who "caves". I just DO!
I don't mind doing that on an occasional basis but not after this long of an abstinence. I want desire. I will hold out until I get it.
