Sex, Sex, Sex

Could old Hemingway help it if he liked sex? Does that automatically deserve more criticism?

Well, I can see why he moved to France.

This topic of sex is one of the touchiest in the U.S. of A, and I'm trying to wrap my beautiful head (and mind!) around this problem. First off, didn't God make us to want to have sex? Was he wrong to do so?

I know, I know -- it's how, when, who, and how often that makes it all complicated, but let's just remember that we are all animals. . . and, well, men ARE a little different than the ladies. We know we're "dogs" in this regard, but that IS how God made US. But I repeat myself.

It's all back to the Puritan discomfort with pleasure, isn't it?

I'm harping on those Puritans again, but we're all still in recovery thanks to their bad seamanship!

I'm not sure what the future holds for me, but I'm ready to try the French lifestyle, just to see how it does feel to relax some of these rules and judgment. Think about it. Just how good might it feel?!? Unfortunately, I can only know in my dreams -- but if I were human, I'd be working on my French!
