The Stray Psyche: Innappropriate Sexual Sentiments from an Otherwise Rational Brain

So I don’t think it’s any secret that different parts of my body tend to have a mind of their own. And Lord knows my libido is a strange beast. What turns me on for real and what turns me on in my head are two (or twelve or two hundred) radically different things. And sometimes I see ‘sexy’ in my imaginings in ways that would make Sexy blush.

But normally I do not think about sexy things — or sexual things — in completely inappropriate contexts.

That is, I didn’t.

Until recently.

Like, normally I can carry on a conversation with a colleague and not be in any way tempted to think about that person in a sexual light. For one thing, my colleagues are NOT sexy. And for another, I’m just not ‘doing’ sex/y these days.

But lately, I will be in the middle of something completely unrelated to the body — unless perhaps you consider ‘eating’ to be eligible as ‘related to the body’, because sometimes these thoughts come when I am eating lunch — and POOF!, in pops a random sex thought.

To be clear: I am not *interested* in anyone sexually. I am just prone to clinical-ish mental meanderings into the tangled trip-root forest paths of sex and sexuality.

Cunt Flaps, Bitch Slaps, and a Whole Bunch of Other Crap

So I’ve been meaning to write about my unsexed sexual organs for a long while now but every time I think I should revisit the whole Vaginal Therapy conversation, something new comes up/distracts me/convinces me I shouldn’t. And by ‘comes up’ I do not mean any part of my husband’s anatomy (though that seems to be working just fine; ridiculously so — “It’s okay,” he said to me the other night when after working my hands over his flesh for long enough to give myself finger cramps, I gave him the look. “I already came twice today.”1) Also, by ‘distracts me’ I do not mean ‘holds my attention in a sexual way’.

I seriously think the days of having an attention span related to sex are over. Perhaps my days of having sex, period, are over? I dunno.

But while contemplating that very real possibility a few nights ago, I also got to contemplating life. And my {previous} {sex} life.

And I felt a very urgent urgency to bitch slap the universe.

Blindfold

I allowed it once.

In a hotel room with the caveat of no restraints and call-a-halt authority, I granted his request to wear a blindfold. (ME. A blindfold.)

I could have cheated. The lighting was dim but light is light and enough light penetrated the thin material covering my eyes that I could have peeked.

But I didn’t.

I didn’t… move(?) either. Not really. Not voluntarily anyway, though I’m sure my skin reacted in some way — jumped, goosebumped, twitched? — when he started his experiment.

I remember…

Textured softness, dragging lightly across shoulder blades.
Folded furls, pressed gently but firmly enough to not tickle.

And…

Tension. Radiating off of him.
My own keeping me still but not relaxed.

The rose… It was a sweet idea, really. (Though I cannot, for the life of me, remember what became of it afterward.) Something he’d read or saw, no doubt, and he was giddy with wanting to try.

It could have been accomplished without the blindfold.

But… He had “surprise” for me! And he didn’t want me to see it!

I was amused. And he was adorable.

So he asked.

And I allowed it.

Once.

I’ve talked before about mondegreens — about mishearing the lyrics to a song (or just trying to understand what the hell ill-enuniciated words are supposed to be) — and while it’s true that:

  • There’s a bedroom on the right (Credence Clearwater Revival)
  • I’ll never leave your pizza burnin’ (Rolling Stones), and
  • Carry a laser (Mr Mister)

are among the best not-actual lyrics ever…

I must admit that I have also misheard/misunderstood artist names. Which means I once thought Ceiling De-oun was an odd choice for the Titanic theme/title song vocals and that E.L.O. was Yellow.

It also means that the first time I heard this song…
