Re: the erotic
Apr. 20th, 2011 11:18 amSo I've been in a somewhat stable, somewhat happy, very fulfilling erotic relationship for about 8 weeks now.
And I just now realized that it's different from what I usually expect.
Most of the time I'm sex starved and I have a mental image of the erotic as the lifeline that could save me. As if everything else could sort itself out without a hitch, all I need is that connection.
But now that I've got something like that, it's hardly a lifeline, it's more like a boring old utility connection, one of several. I wouldn't want to yarf on it very hard, and it certainly wouldn't survive any sort of storm, not by itself.
It's hard not to want to file this away, for the next time I'm sex starved and desperate for a life line. But I have a hunch that more interesting problems are going to take its place.
