Sex Songs

Despite some of the terrible things that are done for the purposes of sexual gratification... (Penn State as a current reminder) there's nothing wrong with Sex as a human function.  

In fact.. I'm amazed at the tendency of people to live in a state of denial on this issue.  Trying to keep sex hush-hush is like trying to clean sand from the shore one grain at a time.  

Even when it gets squished down from conscious thought.. it squeezes itself out in other ways.. And what's left is always more dangerous than the first.. repression building to a boiling point..

or perversion

(see links below-.. Black Box International and Rapha House- for ways to fight sex trafficking)

or worse.. a concentrated false sense of piety... resulting in Fakeness.. Self-Righteousness and the big daddy of them all... Bootstrap-Pride.

Utah is the largest consumer of Internet Porn...  Why is that?

Again... It has me wondering if the bubble people have ever read their own Holy Books.  

In an ancient poem (part of the Hebrew Scriptures) a dialogue between two lovers.. the lover tells the beloved...

"You are a garden"... and then describes her body as a garden in poetic fashion... face.. neck.. breasts.. legs.. etc.

She responds to him...
COME INTO YOUR GARDEN.. she invites.    

Now...  As far as literary genres go... It's actually considered ancient erotic literature.

Strange cultural metaphors... sheep.... gazelles aside.. That's Hot.

Why don't we know about this??

Just Like Heaven (#488 on The List)

Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you

According to Robert Smith, "The song is about hyperventilating—kissing and fainting to the floor." The lyrics were inspired by a trip with his then-girlfriend (and later wife) Mary Poole to Beachy Head in southern England. Smith said the opening line of the song ("Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick") refers to his childhood memories of mastering magic tricks, but added "on another [level], it's about a seduction trick, from much later in my life".[1]

I'm the Woman

The interesting thing is.. in the story.. I'm the woman.  That's not anything Jerry Falwell or Pat Robertson ever told us.
      
If there's a Yin and Yang of life.. a balance between 2 counterparts.. it seems to demonstrate itself in this thing between the universe and it's Universal.  The Chi and Me... and the harmony that happens between us.  Or in Jewish terms... The Lover  and it's beloved.

And for me.. the most interesting thing is that.. in the metaphor... I'm the woman.

Strangely.. that has me imagining Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell in drag.    

Is anyone else disturbed by that besides me?
