Bumping, this is important! I know I haven't been around much but I thought this one was worth posting.
one for the boys................
Click on this all you guys, she's got a special message for you!
Looks like it could be good, definately need to go and see it!
I'd like to be Meg Ryans character Pam in the Doors movie, or perhaps the witchy woman Jim gets off with. Jim or Val Kilmer would be fine by me!!!
I can see the arguments for and against 'labelling' and whether it is necessary is up to us in the end. If you train for years to learn how to heal people you are happy to be known as Dr. ....... It's when prejudice gets in the way that we think more closely about what labels we want connected with us. It's when you start getting people looking on your 'label' as being a negative thing that it becomes a problem, eg. gay people being labelled perverts (NOT my opinion I hasten to say!), females who enjoy sex being labelled 'slags', disabled people who are labelled and taunted because of the negative aspects of their disability instead of as a human being with thoughts and feelings and talents, people of other races/religions being discriminated against because a minority of people who come from the same race/religion may have done wrong. The list goes on.......
I don't know how much of this has affected my current introspective mood, or Blues for that matter, and how much it is about exploring our own psyche and knowing what we want from life. IMO, if you don't try something you'll never know if you like it, so what have you got to lose? There are things I have enjoyed and things I haven't liked as much but I've been giving it a go because I wanted to find out! Nothing wrong with that, nobody got hurt along the way.
The introspective thing certainly is catching lately! I've made a conscious decision recently to back off from 'swinging', or whatever you want to call it. Basically for me it means I'm not meeting anyone for casual sex or going to parties and munches.
Currently I am taking a break from pretty much everything but the most basic roles I have in life as a parent and a friend. I really don't know what I want from my life so I am sitting back for a while and having a think. There are very personal reasons why I feel I need to do it and it's nothing to do with anyone I have met or spoken to through this site.
I've had fantastic fun at the parties I've been too, Blue, you and Satin are a wonderful host(esse)s and I have felt so welcome and it has done wonders for my self esteem and confidence. I'm just not sure that I want it as a lifestyle, I have very deep needs for things which aren't available at a casual sex party! Whether I can mix the two is a question that would need answering if I find a life partner and the issue came up.
I think I may have referred to this before but I feel currently that I am on a 'voyage of discovery' about myself, I am quite recently divorced and am looking at what I want to do, and trying some of it, as much as possible. It's doing me some good and knowing I have the option to take a step back and think every so often is a good thing too.
I reckon the richest of lives are those where we are on a constant voyage of discovery and the bends in the road can be challenging but very worthwhile.
I'd do Christina myself too!
ermmm no not on men :shock:
I have a friend who got studs implanted in his arm in South Africa because it's illegal here, could be the same case with this i would imagine. Looks a bit scary, I must say I wouldn't touch it!!!
