LJ Idol-Week Two Topic: Deconstruction

[lilyinchains]

I shut my eyes when I heard him enter the room. He didn’t ask me to, but I liked it. I liked the mystery of his movements blending into air against my skin. He said hello to me, I smiled back leaning my head down in obeisance. I didn’t have to, there were no rules for this, no protocols for the night, but I knew what stirred him. I

You really know how to write sex and sexy. Enjoyed it.

[lilyinchains]

Thanks so much and I'm very happy you liked it.

sexxxy, with three x's!

[lilyinchains]

Three X's? Oh my!

I love how you write, and, from what I've read, I really like your views on things. Sexuality has so long been defined as something bad, shameful, nasty. I'm glad you don't see it that way. I wish there were more people who could be open-minded in this way.

Thank you very much. It is sad that sexuality is put in such a terrible light. Sex is how we survive as a species. It creates children. How can something be bad if it does that? Plus, touch is needed and the sensual touch between lovers is not dirty in any way. Well, unless that's what you're aiming for. ;)

I have to say, I have questions on this one. =)

The piece starts out with the girl doing as she thinks the man wants because she "knows what stirs him". A mask if ever we've seen one. She's being what he wants.

But then a little further down we have this line I became something else, someone else, the person I felt was true to myself.

That seems a little counterintuitive, but still we have--

His words made my heart flutter. It chipped away at that someone else that was still here, still pretending to be the model citizen. I didn’t want to be her.

His words were, if I'm remembering correctly, "Good girl." He's praising her for being what she is which is something that his words make her heart flutter.

Still pretending but doesn't want to be her. But why does she have to be anything really? In the next few lines she talks about being broken down to her primitive self. It's like THAT'S her compulsion. That's her DESIRE. But she doesn't share it with him

[lilyinchains]

I'm not sure exactly what you're questioning. Do you see a contradiction in her desires as opposed to his

Hey there!

First off, I just wanted to say that I hope I didn't make you feel like you had to be defensive about this piece. Truthfully, your post made me think and every question I left above was just my way of showing interest. I really hope that came through.

I see what you're saying here and it definitely sounds like a very intricate, very complicated matter.

[lilyinchains]

I'm not offended, just wasn't sure what to say.
