Sexxxtrology and Saturn's Return

Note: This entry is a very filtered coffee klatch of my bestest lj homies.

Whoa so look what happens, my shrink goes on a three-week cruise to the Antarctic and I end up becoming a convert to astrology. I could have saved so much money and time if I had just realized that I am in the motherfucking throes of Saturn's Return. Thank god my new age

Yeah, totally true man. The main criticism of the Ethical Slut (the book) is whether the whole thing is a just a well-written massive rationalization for irresponsible promiscuity. I was joking to John that the best use of it is to memorize the lines to use as game when you're trying to pick someone up: "Listen, it's very simple. When I see someone that intrigues me, I like to feel free to respond. Don't worry, I don't want a relationship. I just want to learn more about myself by fucking you."

I think rather than being Shiva destroyer of worlds in my real life, I'm going to write more about what I think my sexual identity is. My parents' lives together and apart pretty much soured me on life-long monogamy as the penultimate expression of love, but furtive fucks with hot strangers is equally unappealing to me. I guess in the deepest recesses of my heart and mind and loins I imagine an artists commune in Marin county. The Big Chill was also very powerful to me as a child--I loved the idea of a group of mixed friends spending a hot and heavy weekend together. Are we not men? And so forth.
