Thinking, thinking, thinking

I am unwell. I’ve been unwell for more than three years now. Some days I’m pretty much out of it. Other days I’m not too bad. But, regardless, I’m on the inevitable slide towards the edge of the universe.

Even on good days, I am unable to walk. And I can breathe only with difficulty. But I do think a lot.

One thought (well… a question really): Why do so many people think it’s so naughty (or worse) for two women to find sexual pleasure together? Or two men? No one bats an eyelid at two people of the same sex enjoying music together. Or poetry. Or food.

That's a great question. And underneath all the layers of culture, and religion ,and tradition, and etc., and etc., I think it just comes down to classic fear of the "other", that is, people who are different from oneself. It's that same primal fear that has divided people over race, religion, nationality, and countless other things for all of human history. "They" are so different from "me/us", and so can't be trusted, because they might try to make me/us be different, too. It seems to touch something very elemental and primal in our human psyches.

Good luck brother! I feel that anyone having fun and others enjoying it is all beautiful. Cheers

Here’s another question: Why aren’t more people accepting and sharing of mutual masturbation? I know couples who both masturbate – but don’t let on to each other that they do. And they certainly don’t do it together. Why not?

Mutual masturbation is safe and fun. You can do it with your partner, same sex or opposite sex. You can do it with your neighbour. You can do it with a casual acquaintance. Or you can do it with several casual acquaintances at the same time.

I first discovered the joys of mutual masturbation more than 60 years a go and it has never let me down.

Thank you for the positive thoughts, sir.

People have avoided answering this question for... since forever.

BS answer (chatgpt): "The way people react to same-sex intimacy often has deep roots in societal norms, cultural beliefs, and historical perspectives. Sexuality, especially in the case of same-sex attraction, has been stigmatized in some cultures due to a mix of religious teachings, outdated gender roles, and a general fear of what deviates from the norm."

less BS: "the primal discomfort comes from a physiological, hormonal reaction that’s designed to orient us toward certain behaviors."
