No, this is not some new select filter on LJ. And Mother, you may want to skip this entry entirely

Thumbs up, slooowly!

It is nice that in this age of LJ, we really can ameliorate our shame a bit by expressing it (very, very artfully and well) to a sympathetic audience who mostly say "Really funny but also not the end of the world", which it wasn't.

Slow fucking!

Man! I feel better having read this, I hope you feel better having written it.

I think it's the third best thing about the internet, after song lyrics (I'm ridiculously bad at understanding lyrics aurally) and free, streaming movies and TV shows.

I do feel better after writing this. I don't know what we did as a people before the advent of LiveJournal or blogging; I mean, did we hold onto our shame, let it burrow deep inside like a biscuit weevil? I don't know. I honestly don't.

Soulful slowfucks have their place . . . I mean, I've heard they have their place. Somewhere.

I laughed out loud, with empathy and rue and without shame.

Oh, sure -- golden wedding anniversaries, the last days of pregnancy.

Oh, it's hilarious! When I first busted out "want to come to my sad house for some slow-fucking," Kim and I almost peed ourselves laughing.

I assume that "slow fucking" describes not just the duration, but also the rhythm. When I entertain a one-night stand, I eschew a slow rhythm, but attempt a formidable duration.

it's all about the rhythm, actually
