Thoughts on sex from Sully

holly_evolvingSex is the ultimate selfless and selfish act. One gives and one takes, but
the goal is that of pleasure. There is no reason why two adults in full
control of their facilities can't come together for this end, and nothing
more. Some stodgy people would say that they /use/ each other. For
certain! How flattering is it that someone would let you enter their
bedchamber and let you take of their body at in it's most vulnerable state?
And in return, you also receive pleasure?
Such women, in my experience, shouldn't be degraded as whores. They should
be exalted for allowing us to experience terrestrial divinity.
Besides, if you can't fuck your friends, who can you fuck?
Now, polyamory is not my cup of tea, but I know many people who subscribe to
it's philosophies. I don't knock those who practice it so long as they are
safe and honest. But I also don't think its for beginners. The complexity
of micromanaging a multifaceted dynamic social situation is beyond my
capability, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's impossible.
It's always bothered me that there is derisive slander towards women who
enjoy sex and so little in the way of equivalent terminology towards the
opposite sex. Women are branded "hussies," while men are "studs." It's a
double standard.
And why should "whore" be an insult? It's a time honored profession, and in
my opinion, a person's right as the owner of their own body.
Not all societies frowned upon the sensuality and sexuality which is an
inherent and integral part of the human animal. In ancient Babylon, at
least once in her lifetime, every woman was required to go with the first
man who cast silver into her lap. All of the priestesses of Inanna were
whores. Shamhat, a priestess of Inanna, plays an integral part in the Epic
of Gilgamesh, where she made love to Enkidu for six days and seven nights.
Before the Westernization of Japan, Geisha were highly respected as
courtesans. In Europe on Beltane or Walpurgisnacht the population at large
got pretty loose with who they paired off with. The main fertilities rites
were generally performed between a priestess and a king (with whom he was
not married).
Ironically, these are all instances of "sacred whoredom." From the stigmas
of Judeo-Christianity, we have the patriarchal line, the impurity of the
"loose" independent woman, the original sin (the cause of which was woman),
the female curse (childbirth/menstruation), and the general
incompetence/subservience/weakness of women. Also, women are considered
"unclean," and there are laws about a woman's natural function. (Leviticus
book 3 and Deuteronomy 4 for more details).
Don't fret. The people who are trying to proselytize you into their way of
thinking aren't worth your thought and emotion. Keep your head up, avoid
harm, evade drama, and continue to reap the fruits of passion when and where
opportunity is ripe. They guffaw-- but also keep in mind they're not the
ones having sex.

Date: 2004-06-09 01:02 pm (UTC)Sometimes, the rite of sexuality has been known as a prayer ritual, and at the point of climax, the mind is practically erased of all thought, and it is supposedly at that point that you are able to see God.
So, for any woman who has seen a guy cum, that is not a look of stupidity, that is the look of someone who has actually seen God, and couldn't psychologically handle it. That's why they fall asleep right after. Their minds need to regain conscious control.
Anyways, in any form of culture and society, sex, fucking, bucking the bronco, whatever terms there are for it, you must know that to have sex, yu must understand the purity of it, the naturalness of our sexual desires, if you don't, then you can never truly experience the true act of love. We have the right to have sex with anyone of the opposite sex (or same sex if that is your choice), and it must not be seen as a sin or impure act.
Even the most beautiful animals in the world take to the act of mating, and trust me, they are not filthy animals. Regal animals like birds, the penguin, they sing s song, they bring pebbles and jewels as a way of showing how important it is to them the act of mating.
So... fucking is as important as all life, and we all have our right to enjoy it, without having to feel guilty about it. If its with a trusted friend, and no one is committed to anyone else, they use protection if necessary, and they know it won't change what they already have now, then I say go for it. Enjoy that night because that is the true experience of love right there, with someone you know you can trust with your heart.
