Re: Re: in further reply ...
we all have been programmed to equate "easy" with low self esteem ... it really is a bad rap but perhaps a better word is "willing" ... easy implies a passivity that really isn't what we're talking about (I think!) ... it is the absolute willingness to try new things and to revisit old ones ... it is the unwillingness to be passive (or easy ) and let life pass us by
English can be such a bitch of a language!

first of all, I meant no offense to Mr. Dork...I appreciate his comments and his company...and when I said that "I heard" he was easy, I was refering to his own comments about himself, and I meant it as a compliment.
Also, I think you're right. Easy is equated with low self esteem...but more often it's equated with low worth...I think people have this notion that if people (especially women) really enjoy sex, and are open to it, then they must be of low value, or cheap, or whatever. So often I hear people say, "she strips, doesn't she have any pride" or "she's a stripper, that's degrading" or whatever. The treatment that people in the sex industry, and people who are open sexually (these are two distinct groups, btw) get is often degrading, but what they do isn't degrading. It only lowers your value to use your body if you place your value on your body. I don't. My value is my mind, if you can't see that fuck you...or if you're cute and can't see that I WILL fuck you and not think twice about it when you don't call...and in the end, I won't feel any worse about myself because I decide how I use my body....I have the control, I have the say, I have the smarts to use it as I see fit, and THAT, my friend, is worth more to me and has more value to me than anything else.

amen
A better description of freedom - of a conviction to live life as you see fit and not as others see fit for you - would be hard to write. Yes, life is better in the company of others (I will NOT be preaching the virtue of a hermit's life this morning) but the amazing possibilities of life only open to us when we govern our behaviors by what we think of them and not by the standards of others. Doing so can be a pain in the ass and is hopelessly misunderstood by most of the masses but the rewards are there for those who do.
The seduction of the party line - of conformance to the norms of dead, repressed, ignorant Western European men - is there. Adherence is bought with "stuff" and the stuff can be pretty cool. That is until you realize that you are dead in all but a biological sense. It is an addiction worse than the worst drug craving and its toll on the possibilities of humanity are incalculable.
I have been on that ride and danced late into the night of my spirit with that Devil.
My apologies for the rant. This time at sunrise would most definitely be better spent fucking but alas my bed lies empty. (Something you would think that my mind and body would know as I wake up - hell, they are in there with me! - but there seems to be an amnesia that lasts until I roll over and find pillow instead of bosom.)
