I don't know about others but the impact of Covid the last few years has had a broad and significant impact on my participation in a whole host of social communities and related activities. This being the case for the in-person brand of participation is wholly expected and obvious, but more surprising on reflection, at least in my case, has been the impact on my online interactions with communities such as LPSG and others. As Covid retreats into the rear-view mirror it has taken some time for me to step up my engagement again in both the offline and online brand of activities. My reinvolvement in the community websites has been somewhat labored, as evidenced my my only-recently increased participation on LPSG. Why? I don't know. Maybe a recalibration of where I am allotting my time in a post-Covid/anything-could-happen-next world? Perhaps. Or maybe the time-dilation effect (if I'm choosing my science terms correctly) of the Covid era masking the fact that it is in fact SEVERAL YEARS since I was being very regularly subjected to the endorphins generated by both the online and offline interactions. Perhaps my mind and body (in particular my COCK) have adapted and/or become "OK" with a reduced expectation environment. But hmmm...if that's the case, what to do now? What to do now that I seem to have recognized some type of phenomenon - at least in terms of the written word - by writing this post? Well, I have data based on one - yes, for now just one - data point. Four days ago I ventured back out into the world of social community interaction with what is known as an "in-person compare" on a certain cock size dominance website that many of you will know. I lost and I paid the sidebet, but that's not the point. The point is that just one foray back out into the world of interaction seems to have immediately recalibrated my expectations, not with a slow-rising curve, but with a hockey stick jump to an Everest-high summit. I want to feel the endorphin kick again. Not just with another cock size compare or ad hoc in-person meetup but with the resumption of all forms of my offline and online social community participation. Participation like this blog post, and in general posts to the message boards on this and other sites (sorry LPSG, I am two-timing nay multi-timing you with other sites!). Whether I am alone or one of a few in the realizations I have revealed above I do not know, but what I do know is this - I am back at large, ploughing through the endorphin ocean with strong strokes once more!
