Did you ever meet
someone in a bar, a club, on the internet OR just walking in the streets AND found that the chemistry between the two of you was SO explosive that you just
couldn’t wait to get into each other? Isn’t it interesting that besides
our intelligence and rational thinking, the thing that REALLY separates
us from animals is our ability to really enjoy sex? It can be done with a partner, a
total stranger AND many
others at the same time; THE forbidden
fruit that tastes oh so sweet, sparks our DEEPEST fantasies and DARKEST dreams. Yet this INTENSE moment of pleasure, allows us to give in to a side of our
personality that no one but yourself and your partner of the moment knows
about. When I reflect on my sexual past, I knew why I did who I did…But I can’t
help but wonder WHAT IS IT ABOUT SEX that sets our souls on fire, only to feel
the burn of a HOT volcano after?
Our bodies stand @ attention and it like we have NO voice, NO choice but to yield in a
world where SEX has become
more AND more accessible
for everyone. So how does one REALLY cope? Too many of us ASSOCIATE SEX as merely having a good time. I get that this is
our way of PRESERVING our
individuality and we are who we are, but then again there is SO much more to SEX than just sex…right?
SEX is like a movie that keeps some of us from feeling
lonely because it gives us a chance to ESCAPE from a lack of self
love N’ esteem…When we
have sex with another, we need to realize that each person comes with a
story, concentrated around the beauty and blemish of the human body N’ mind. We place each other in
the spotlight; show our naked bodies, while hiding our souls. This brings to
mind a FAVORITE movie quote of mine that says, WHEN YOU HAVE SEX WITH SOMEONE, YOUR BODY MAKES A COMMITMENT TO THEM
WHETHER YOU VERBALIZE IT OR NOT…So
then it stands to reason that the dividing line between the practical
sense AND the social expectations of SEX is COMPLETELY unobtainable because they don’t really
exist? CLEARLY we are OVERWHELMED by sex because SO many of us conform to a
stereotype that shouldn’t exist in the first place. And because of this we have
the idea of SEX all wrong… After
reflecting on sex, relationships failed, chances lost AND the fear of ending up alone forever, shouldn’t we
wonder WHAT ABOUT THIS THAT
HAS ME TAKING, BUT NOT EMBRACING?
That commitment quote is cool, and accurate too I guess because even if you drop your pants for a stranger in a park on a lonely night, you are "committing" to various things (and scary possibilities) even if you never lay eyes on him again.
ReplyDeleteI believe we humans think too highly of ourselves, just because we've elevated above other animals with our abilities to comprehend our existance.
Having said that, SEX when madly in love is that "beautiful thing" we all seek. And yet, sadly, even under those ideal conditions -- a random, raunchy romp is not out of the question under the right conditions, if the stars fall a certain way on a given starry night.
What makes us human is that we feel guilty after.
I dare not even try to trump T.S's comments. He is exact. I just find it so amazing how we as SGL brothas can commit our bodies(a big part of us) to each other but not our hearts, mind, spirit and life.

ReplyDelete<<< What Taylor said...
ReplyDeleteI agree with everything you say except,"the thing that REALLY separates us from animals is our ability to really enjoy sex?" I think what really separates us from animals is the ability to walk away from it. Oh and Taylor was right too.
ReplyDeleteTaylor does have a point
ReplyDeleteWho feels Guilty? The moments we share with others isn't always bout guilt but I do contend it does have to do with being alone and wanting that closeness that during the remainder of the year is scarce to find..im not saying its right just making a point lol.
ReplyDeleteKA-OS – YEAH HE IS BRILLIANT AIN’T HE?
ReplyDeleteCURIOUS – SO TRUE DIDN’T THINK OF IT THAT WAY…
WONDER MAN – HE MOST CERTAINLY DOES…
JAMAR HERROD – I GET YOUR POINT LOUD N’ CLEAR
I get that sex can be recreational and I guess that's OK but I feel that a commitment should be made like you eluded to. That sex should be a baring of body and soul and offering of both. It is so much better that way
