Yes, Matt, too true!
Now I love a good, hot m/m slash fiction. But after they both come, having perfroming amazing calastetics and fallen asleep in each other's arms, I wonder - doesn't anyone clean up. It's more then some drying sperm in chest hairs. And nobody cleans their hands. After all that - getting him ready for that mighty dick.
Too much to think about.
Once again, great writing.

See...you've brought up another terrific point that I didn't even discuss (sperm in chest hair), so I just know there are others out there who feel like I do. And the whole 'prepping' routine is far from beautiful, too. Heh...maybe I should have asked you to co-author. Just imagine the possibilities.

Thanks for taking the time to read and respond. I always appreciate hearing from you-

Oh Matt, you are so right. Sex, real sex, is so far from beautiful, it isn't even funny.

Heck, you already talked about the coordinated orgasms to orchestral music, which looks kinda like a syncronized swimming competition. *visions of sunflowered capped women in a huge pool dance before my eyes*

But what about the reality of getting the right appendage (dick, finger, tongue) into the right opening (ass, mouth,vagina) without, for example, putting an eye out. Then there's the whole 'keeping the dick in' issue. Enthusiastic real sex means movement, and slippage, and bending in the wrong direction (ouch!). Real sex means interruptions like needing to stop to take a piss, or fart, or answer the damn phone even...

Matt, as always, your words are treasured, as are you.

Like Ahavia, you've also raised some very valid points...though, I've got to say, I was chuckling as I scanned your lists of appendages and openings. Heh. I suddenly got one of those flashbacks from math class where you're asked to come up with the number of possible combinations and I couldn't stop grinning as I ran through several.

Your kind words are much appreciated and I hope you know how much your generous comments mean to me. Thank you-

Matt

*G* Love your take on *beautiful sex*. Have to agree. Beautiful isn't the term I'd use... :)

[matt51]

Maybe someone should write about 'romance' now (sure as hell won't be me) to find the missing 'beauty'. Heh. Thanks for taking the time to read and send the comments. I know you're involved in your own writing so it's appreciated doubly-

I would agree...the act itself, not so pretty.

The level of effort involved...hell, yeah, it's work at times. But then that's where knowing what gets your partner to that happy place is what makes a steady relationship better than a one night stand. Every trip is easier when you know how to get where you want to go. :-)

The way it makes me feel when done right...it is 'absolutely fucking brilliant starburst creation of the universe' beautiful. Just saying. LOL.

[matt51]

Oh, yeah...I can see the beauty in an orgasm but I hesitate comparing it to something cosmic. Heh. Yeah, yeah, I know...that's not quite what you meant but, you know, my mind isn't formated like yours, K, so my 'likes' are a bit more 'earthy and visceral'. Um, does that make it sound too 'down and 'dirty'? Hope not. This could be one of those male/female things that sets us apart...but, please, don't start telling me I'm 'lacking certain brain cells' or I'm 'not constructed correctly' (Gee, sounds like I've heard those before, eh?).

Anyway, you know I appreciate you taking the time to read this essay and respond to it. Like I mentioned to Hawk_Soaring, maybe someone (hint, hint) should write about 'beauty in sex' or, as I told her, 'romance'. I just know there's someone out there who *must* have something to say on that subject. Nah, won't be me, that's for sure.

Thanks again-
Matt
