I read a passage from Delta of Venus by Anais Nin that I thought was so appropriate to the writing we do for this site.
'Dear Collector: We hate you. Sex loses all its power and magic when it becomes explicit, mechanical, overdone, when it becomes a mechanistic obsession. It becomes a bore. You have taught us more than anyone I know how wrong it is not to mix it with emotion, hunger, desire, lust, whims, caprices, personal ties, deeper relationships that change its color, flavor, rhythms, intensities.'
'You do not know what you are missing by your microscopic examination of sexual activity to the exclusion of the aspects which are the fuel that ignites it. Intellectual, imaginative, romantic, emotional. This is what gives sex its surprising textures, its subtle transformations, it aphrodisiac elements.'
I read this and thought: "If this is true of sex, how much more so for spanking." |
