    Everything ends

    Corey and I broke up today. It ended well, we are still on good terms. I went over today to talk to her but not much was said. Instead we kind of just sat there and then I gathered my stuff and went home.

    It's kind of disappointing but everything ends, nothing lasts forever. And it's better than continuing when we both know it wasn't working.

    Now let's see what life has in store.

    Warning this post is about sex.

    Or rather... Pleasure. 

    I have come to form a theory about why I have the issues with sex that I do. I describe it as a "line" that once I cross things aren't enjoyable. Here is a better explanation I came up with at 11:10 at night while trying to fall asleep.

    Levels.

    There are different levels. (And examples)

    1-3 are things like hugs, cuddling, baths, and the like. Non erotic pleasure.

    4 kissing or massages

    5 I call it sensuality but I guess it's considered foreplay?

    6 hardcore make out session 

    7 

    8 is the farthest I've been able to endure before stopping. Most cases the "line" is between 7 & 8 and that's where it stops being enjoyable to me. Too intense.

    9 I don't know.

    10 I've only experienced in erotic dreams.

    There. I have found a way to make sense of my weirdness. I only enjoy certain levels of pleasure.. After that although it "feels good" because it's pleasure, it doesn't feel good to me and I don't like it. 

    The only erotic levels I will actually crave are up to 6. Anything past that I don't ever actually seek out.

    Thank you sleep deprived brain.

    The Archetypal Biography of Woman

    "Woman is the creator of the universe,
    the universe us her form;
    woman is the foundation of the world, 
    she is the true form of the body.
    Whatever form she takes,
    Whether the form of a man or a woman,
    is the superior form.
    In woman is the form of all things,
    of all that lives and moves in the world.
    There is no jewl rarer than woman,
    there is no condition superior to that of a woman.
    There is not, nor has been, nor will be
    any destiny to equal that of a woman;
    there is no kingdom, no wealth
    to be compared with a woman;
    there is not, nor has been, nor will be
    any holy place like unto a woman.
    there is no, nor has been, nor will be
    any yoga to compare with a woman,
    no mystical formula nor ascetism
    to match a woman.
    There are not, nor have been, nor will be
    any riches more valuable than woman"
