Infected...
Today was just as any other day. Just relaxing after a hard day of trying not to work really hard. Then I got a call. A close friend let me know she had contracted a case of syphilis from some dude she thought she was in love with. Now, even though we talked everything out, and found out that this thing was curable, I was scared shitless. Not because of catching something from her, but, just the whole idea of mortality in your face. It's a frightening thing to have your life flash before your eyes because of someone else's mistake, but, I feel things a bit deeper for others than I think I should.
Disrespected...
How could one person do this to another? Love is used so loosely that sometimes you're not even sure who you're sharing a moment with anymore. I'm starting to think the phone sex I have daily, might give me a nasty case of ear infection. When did it become this life threatening?? I use sex as my liberation, my religion and my freedom. Although this has not happened to me, I consider it a sign, a warning and a wake up call that I hit the snooze button on. I have sex as often as I can, but I'm protected, but now that I'm thinking about it, am I really?
Protected...
I think the nature of my being has been forever changed. I'm starting to think the freedom I allowed intercourse to give me may alter my perception altogether. Maybe this will all be over in the morning when I give my thank you's for living and breathe a sigh. Thanking the Gods that it wasn't me who had a lapse of judgment because my inbetweens got hot. But, honestly, I'm starting to view my whole sexual view differently. Maybe it isn't what I thought it was. Maybe it isn't a freedom, but a death sentence with a passionate kiss. Maybe my liberation was just a temporary set of handcuffs, hoping that I didn't get caught in the crosshair. Maybe this will all be a shattered memory of how I used my/his body for pleasure. Maybe this is the point where I start to view sex for what it's really supposed to be for. Procreation, and love. In all sense of the confused meaning.
Be safe...
