Group sex -- following up on my post

[devifemme]

I just wanted to mention that there have been NINE comments* on my post a few days ago -- about a lesbian community called La Isola Nova (or "The Island" for short). Several of the comments came from someone in a similar group; she and her friends are quite aware of The Island's BDSM activities and personalities. It is called "the_pony_tails" --

Yessss, yesssss, escape into the dark side…. I can introduce you to some real submissives, if that is your desire. I'm sure they will welcome you.

[devifemme]

Thanks, sweetie -- as you perhaps guessed, I'm just not able to avail myself of your kind offer.

[musicman]

Oh gosh, I wasn't thinking you'd want to submit to me. I have women friends who are Domme.

religion sometimes does not mean freedom-speaking of body matters and its very hard to find a balance between body and "soul".As an educated Christian I know how hard it is to find God among all the church rules..For my church I'm living in sin..well,the way to heaven is long,you know.Good luck to both of you :)

[devifemme]

It IS "... hard to find a balance between body and 'soul'," no doubt. And thanks for putting my little problem into that elegant context.

But any church alleging someone is "living in sin" triggers my allergy to religion in general. No religion should make reality harder to accept by its adherents -- they ALL do it, of course, but it shows a vicious anti-humanitarian bent. Why in HELL (precisely there!) should they calculatingly hamper people's efforts to live life more SANELY? (My mother was harassed for precisely THIS pathetic reason by her Catholic priests for marrying my agnostic father; they pitilessly deprived her of the comfort they claimed they wanted to provide. She left the Church and never found another spiritual basis)

yes,of course..if I want to join some comunity,there usualy are rules..speaking of churches,not to speak of God.
Exupery says in his Citadel (sorry I know the quote in Czech,so my translating will be lame probably) "Whenever you enter a temple,learn that God doesn't judge you,but accept you"..if just all religious people and all priests would do the same,right?

[devifemme]

Exactly, Rena -- "..if just all... priests would do the same." BTW I acknowledge that my mother and dad lived in a small California town after I was born; that era and local circumstances no doubt gave the priests latitude to act abusively.

As you also wrote, god -- whoever/whatever he or she turns out to be -- is likely to be accepting, not judging. I like the notion that he/she is LOVE before anything else. Also, he/she is not interested in us humans' tribes, nations or any other human-created constructs -- and certainly doesn't take sides in our strife.

Bittersweet memories

When I read something like this, ""Escape" being from Joanne -- from my long love affair with a woman who NOW utterly distrusts sexuality, in effect reverting to her rigid Catholic education -- and, alas, rather bitterly resenting my delight in eroticism. Some newer readers may not know how happily she played the stern dominatrix to my giggling submissive for a decade, both of us madly fucking ourselves silly day after day, month after month. Now it's separate bedrooms (except, notably, when we travel) and being satisfied by each other's warm presence. And WARMTH there is, and sincere support, hugs and kisses, and holding hands like silly teenagers..." I think of that Steven Stills line, "Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now." As we age, even if the passion doesn't diminish, our physical ability to act it out does. No, not that way, I'm not on Viagra yet, but intensely acrobatic sex is off the menu, lol.

[devifemme]

Thanks for the Steven Stills line -- it's right on target! And, "intensely acrobatic sex" is just what she rejects -- alas, she even includes the lezzie equivalent of the missionary position in the definition...

S'okay: she's been really sweet today, bustling around with Christmas decorations as we watch the snow fall here in Washington. (Looks to be more and colder than forecast...)

It was bitter today, and getting worse, the Beltway is going to be bad tomorrow.
