in the middle of the night

he and i had a lovely conversation about sex

and not surprisingly

based on how we met and how things are unfolding

we share a similar view on play

sex for the sake of sex

hits no true spot

but the experience of SEX

that has no beginning, no middle, no end

that may or may not include penetration

that may or may not include touch or a release

that is not marked separate from a ‘non-sex’ event

(because it’s alllll SEX, baby)

that is where the magic is

that is what arouses more than a particular position or body type

more than a pre-determined set of preferences

more than a ‘this worked on her last time so i’ll just do that again’ kinda vibe

because SEX is a dance in the NOW

so you can’t bring a (past) thing with you

nor can you aim for something else

you must make each move from exactly where you are

without leaving what’s alive

without leaving YOU

because true SEX is beyond the physical

the body is just the vessel through which you play

endlessly

truthfully

fluidly

to more
