Body Temperature
by Jilliana
Ranicar-Breese
The last
significant man in my life was odd. Well his
bedroom habits were especially peculiar. First of
all, he had to sleep with not one but three
duvets even in summer! He didn’t like
sleeping at my flat because I only had one duvet.
He had a body temperature problem and was
constantly cold at night even with the central
heating on in spring and summer. To top it all he
was Italian. I thought they were meant to be hot
blooded. Not this one! He was a cold intellectual
from Verona and in a class of his own. He would
always wear his vest in bed . I don’t
remember seeing him naked.
Then after
kissing me Buona Notte, he would get up and move
down the other end of the bed to sleep. Was that
madness or Feng Shui? It was just before we split
that I finally decided to join him!
My ex-husband
also felt the cold in bed. He, too, always had to
have a blanket or duvet. Not much erotica in our
marital life during the 25 years we were together!
Then Victor,
my fascinating man in Havana, which of course is
in a tropical climate except I visited Cuba in
their winter, always had a vest on and shivered
in bed.
Finally my
best girlfriend Helga has an acute body
temperature problem. She has to sleep with
cashmere socks on in the summer, a T-shirt under
her nightdress and in Spain, on both occasions
when we met in July, slept in her half of the bed
with a duvet and blankets while I slept naked
with just a single sheet.
As for the
latest man in my life – a German Turk living
in sexy Berlin, I have yet to find out what his
body temperature and if he will be finally naked
in bed!
Oh for a naked
man!
