Sex is not a goddamn performance.
mols:
Oh my god, this is stunning.
No, sex shouldn’t feel as natural as drinking water. Drinking water feels “natural” because if we don’t do it, we die. We don’t die if we don’t have sex.
Not everyone wants sex. For those who do, especially for those who haven’t had much of it, it can be complicated enough without giving them the added pressure of “it should feel as natural as drinking water.”
Not to mention the fact that “Ripening lips, ripening labia, ripening cock, ripening pupils, ripening state of being. Ripe and augmented and brimming. Your energy goes to your pumping heart, then to every external nerve, then to theirs, on fire.” just doesn’t happen for some people.Maybe it’s a medical thing, maybe it isn’t, it doesn’t really matter. Presenting this as a universal thing isn’t exactly taking the pressure off, it’s just moving it a little.
