Now, here's the other side of the coin
OK - my last post I rambled on about how I like contrast. Now this one is about why does there have to be contrast?
One reason I seperated my journals is because I realized that when people read someone's journal, they categorize. LJ (and every other blog site) help by giving us categories to put our interests in - even if our interests are diverse, we read and still put people into categories. Like "perverts" or "religious" or "kids" or "folkies" or whatever.
Why do we have to categorize? I'm more than one interest or category. I really get off on spanking females! Yet, I'm not that big on sex. I like casual encounters, but I also like relationships with people. I have some definite religious beliefs but I don't go to church. I care deeply about kids, but I also lust after schoolgirls. It's all different, yet it's all the same. I'm complex - yet that should be pretty simple to understand. We all are.
I had to hide the interest in younger girls from someone lately who inquired about my perverted side. I hate having to hide things, but at the same time I understand the necessity. For the record, I really don't consider myself that much different than most guys - every guy I know drools over younger girls. How much younger varies between individuals. I draw the line at toddlers, myself. (that's a JOKE - the line is a little older than that!) Seriously, though - as much as I like power play I don't believe in forcing myself on anyone - each person determines when and if they are ready to play and when and if they want to. I've known sexually active teens and celibate 30 year olds, and some of each group could handle it, and some of each group couldn't.
The physical beauty of youthfulness is something many admire, but I also admire the wisdom that comes with age, when we learn to look at each person as an individual who is as complex as they are simple. The best sex is always in the mind, and a good mind is attractive at any age. It's a shame most don't embrace that until they are older, though.
A mature person can appreciate beauty without wanting to fuck it.
A mature person can appreciate a game without wanting to play it.
A mature person can appreciate sexuality without obsessing over it.
A mature person can appreciate diversity without exploring every avenue.
A mature person understands rules and when to follow them.
A mature person understands issues that run deeper than rules.
A mature person understands the importance of freedom and tolerance.
A mature person understands the importance of knowing their own limitations.
I'm so tired of the conservative mindset, because to me it REEKS of others imposing their own appreciations and understanding on everyone. To me, the liberal ideal embraces an expectation of personal responsibility, an expectation of privacy, an expectation of tolerance, and an expectation of self-improvement. Liberals nurture, while conservatives administer.
I am who I am. Do not condemn me because of who you think I am, because I am more than your thoughts.
