Taboo

A Few Thoughts on Pornography
Pornography – the love that can’t help but speak its name. It is now August. Summer is coming to a close in about a month if you consider what the seasons are like in Canada. I am here, tapping this out on a laptop that I made sure was not connected to the Internet, and I am considering a walk and a visit to a museum or theatre before I decide whether or not to transfer this piece to another laptop and post it for the wide world of Vocal.

Space Has Taken on a Whole New Meaning as a Full-Time RVer
For decades, I tried to figure out where I belonged, even in my early years of high school. I didn’t belong to a clique, group, club, or gang.

Repentance
Episode 1 The rhythmic sounds of clickety clacking and powerful vibrations caused by the sand papered roughness on the wheel and rail surfaces make it difficult to reclaim my sanity. Hysteria creeps in like depression that has been patiently waiting for a response.

Life's Nothing But a Roleplaying Game. Everybody Believes They Need To Fit In
Your life is fake. It's a game. This is something that came to my mind lately. We're all just playing parts in a world that expects us to do so. It's nothing more than a roleplaying game that everybody believes in.

De(con)struction
I could not blame him for loving her. But in doing so he hurt me. He told me that their relationship was over, he wanted out, they had not been intimate in over a year. He gave me every reason to believe his heartache, his loneliness.

Selling myself
Other then possibly selling myself off to a sugar daddy, my life has been fairly interesting! I have applied to a social club and have a panel interview on Thursday for the part-time engineer role of creating the events themselves and hosting at minimum 5 gigs a month.

Sex Is an Emotional Bonding Mechanism for Men
In terms of reproduction, women are more important than males. Men enter war not just because they are more equipped for it, but also because they are more disposable than women in terms of reproduction. Men thus lack the same emotional sense of need that women have. A guy has emotional fulfillment after he selects a partner because she has acknowledged him as a lover. Because it is a sexual love, he views his relationship with her as unique.

The Truth About Not Wanting to Have Children, That No One Talks About
Five years ago, or even less, everyone would ask me. "Sara, when are you having kids." At this point, I was 36, and everyone thought I was "past my prime." If I did not pop out a few babies in the next few years, I would lose the "opportunity."

Sexual Culture in Japan
Note: this article was written by me over twenty years ago in a student newspaper that was never reprinted online. I thought it would be interesting to give this a wider forum considering the original response.

He is My Safe Person
I’ve been labeled before as “the girl who has to bring her man with her wherever she goes”. Or “the girl who can’t be without her man.” But that’s not the case at all. I have anxiety, and my man is my safe person. ⁣⁣He is my safe place.

Love Triangles
Have you ever been involved in a love triangle? Simply stated, this is when one person in a couple meets a person outside the primary relationship to whom they are strongly physically attracted.
