The Myth of the Whole and Healthy Body by Rachel Cohen-Rottenberg, Content Intern

In an effort to move away from narrow definitions of physical beauty, many people have attempted to make health the new standard by which to judge bodies. It doesn’t matter what you look like, they say, so long…

I like the idea of sex being an extension of a friendship or an impulsive response to chemistry. As long as everyone’s treating one another with respect & affection, it can be great. I think people get too hung up on Hollywood ideals of romance. it’s not that I am not a romantic person, I am. I have a very romantic & passionate relationship with my husband, but it’s also real, not perfect, sometimes messy, zany &  always full of joy. but i am fine & happy with just moving from a cafe or a pub to the bedroom with a friend if the chemistry is there. 

i also believe that sex can be for all kinds of reasons: love, just plain affection, wild lust, comfort & companionship. love & sex are treated as commodities to hold on to, to save for marriage etc. i prefer being open to giving & receiving love, lust, friendship & affection to all who are willing to give it in return.

I prefer consensual non monogamy to other forms of non monogamy, but i’m not here to judge anyone’s relationship. I don’t have a list of fetishes or sexual activities I need to cross off. I’m fairly vanilla with newbies. I have been known to tumble quickly into bed if the chemistry’s there, but I generally need to enjoy the person’s company first. I prefer well-rounded people who have a variety of interests, rather than just being focused on sex alone.

if we’re having a good time together, i don’t see why we can’t just continue that good time in a more intimate setting. there are so many men i would dearly love to kiss…you’re probably one of them…

You have given me ornithology. A catalogue of commonalities. Borders. Isn’t it obvious. We recoil. We obey. We travel a few chevrons behind. Air is silent until disturbed. I have made a map for you with imaginary countries. To play. I have my reasons. Pastel colours show labels best.  Over the land the ghosts. Over the sea the phantom monsters of childhood nightmares. The wild things. The bright young things. Parrots winging over the green.
