Twitter: A Short Guide To (Erotic) Wisdom
It’s still hard to imagine, but amongst the billions of Tweets sent out there are one or two which either make sense, or have some relevance to real life. There are some people who get over the urge to write ‘blah’ or describe their breakfast / brunch / Taco and put a few words together which make you pause and think.
Admittedly, and speaking from experience, not all that many, but the search, whilst often frustrating, can prove worthwhile, depending on how much patience a person has and how much faith in the human race!
Not that I have a lack of faith in people and their actions, thoughts, desires, but finding someone who revitalizes my motivation, especially when looking at Twitter, is a hard way to prove any point.
I, for one, do not underestimate. Not by a long way. If you’re going to fall for someone, and we all do at some point in our lives – whether it leads to anything more serious or not – then being understood, having a real soul mate, is something of a bonus. More than that, the very act of understanding, of being on an intellectual par with this person excites the mind. The mind, after all, is where the erotic begins, not the genitals, not any other part of the body. If you can excite my mind, in any of so many different ways, then it is equal to a sexual thrill. I will always react to an intellectually stimulating person in much the same way as I react to a purely erotic person: full attention. My mind begins to work overtime – in both cases – seeking the right moves, the right actions, the right way forward to keep this stimulation going.
It works towards an orgasm, if you like, of the intellect.
Words can mean so much to a person – if you interpret B-Monster in a different way to the obvious! – can be so stimulating. A conversation which is purely on the surface, nothing but words strung together without thought, without a plan, are nothing, meaningless and futile. And I have had my fill of such conversations over the few years I’ve been out actively listening, conversing with people. It’s like greeting someone you know on the street without pausing in your movements, continuing away from them without looking back, without expecting a reply.
Of course, there are other things which are erotic too, not just words, but actions. If you go down to the pure level of erotica, the sensual level, I guess it is easy to find something erotic about almost everything we see, do, experience in our lives. Depending on your train of thought! The simplest of movements can be erotic, if that is what you are looking for, intentional or otherwise.
Not that I consider my shampoo to be a source of erotic thought, but being with someone who washes your hair, who combs it through lovingly and with their full attention, that can be more of an erotic moment than some imagine.
Is anyone qualified to tell anyone else how to be themselves? Or is anyone capable of telling another person, be they male or female, how to fit in with what society deems to be right for their gender? I can tell someone what I believe to be erotic, but that doesn’t mean every single woman thinks the same way. What is arousing for one woman, or for men, is different to that for another. In a partnership, what one person finds stimulating may be exactly the opposite for their partner, and no one, no matter how close they are, should be capable of telling them anything different.
But we do it all the time. We tell people how they should act, or what they should not do. Some of the advice is well-intentioned: I would never criticize someone for telling a younger woman, on the brink of womanhood, how to be careful with her words, actions and dress to avoid unnecessary attentions. In the end, though, we are what we are, and we all experiment, we all try things out even unwittingly. Social media has changed our thoughts on how we react, how we interact, what we say and do. The pressure from parents has changed a good deal too; you only need to look at preteen beauty pageants to get my drift.
What is a quick way to lose someone, to tell them of your displeasure can, in some cases, be exactly what that person is looking for to give them an excuse, a reason for continuing. I’ve seen that here, on this blog, recently: a total lack of understanding, a special interpretation of what is said, and a continuation of precisely that which is not wanted.
For some people, even answering is an excuse to carry on, a sign of interest. Probably the least intellectually stimulating action I can imagine, laboring a point which has been cleared sufficiently, which excites no interest whatsoever, which goes against the personal interests or opinion of the other. This belief that one person knows better than anyone else, and that anyone who does not follow exactly their line of thought, their way of life, is condemning themselves and needs to be rescued, brought back to the straight path towards some convoluted, fantastic ideal which, in all probability, can never be realized, and is certainly not the path others wish to follow.
And, yes, there’s that too. Having a real partner – male or female – who understands, can stimulate, arouse, excite, whatever. It’s not all physical, although many today seem to feel that this is all that is left of life, the physical side of things. The mind has its erotic section, as far as sex is concerned, but it also has so many other areas which are linked in, which can arouse and stimulate more than just the physical cravings. Perhaps, in advancing years, more people will come to see that erotica is more of an emotional reaction in the mind, something which feeds from more than just images and sexual actions, that the freedom of youth brings other interests in later years demanding attention.
For some reason I have already reached this stage. If someone cannot arouse me intellectually, there is little else of interest. Sex, a sexual relationship is fine, but it isn’t everything.
Love & Kisses, Viki.
