wow... i was the heavy metal hippie, hi-tech day-glo tie-dyed, and wanting desperately to "explode into space" as literally as possible. lots of drugs and rock'n'roll, not so much sex (because i always needed the emotional lightning before that could happen)... always craving more stimulation and sensation. eventually, of course, i learned how to fake being a "normal" person, and even why it was a good idea sometimes. but i still have my moments. and here i sit, too fat and creaky to ride a motorcycle any more, but "letting my freak flag fly" with my long purple hair (hey, it covers the grey!). and i take my motto from a fairly recent song hit: "whatever tomorrow brings, i'll be there, with open arms, and open eyes..."
i was a telempath - i knew when i had a connection, and when i didn't. and if i didn't, it would have been like having sex with a total stranger - i could do it better myself.
I am more of an empath - receiving and rebroadcasting the emotions of those around me. Of course when you're young, it's easy to confuse physical desire and love - especially if you want to.

In a way so did I, I was young and trying to convince myself that the sex WAS the emotional lightening. It made for a lot of angsty moments.
