Sex talk poll

[rowanf]

I was chatting with a friend about what one says in a journal. I said I mostly just talk about my life. Except for sex. I go back and forth between feeling it is private, not wanting to embarrass people and wanting to shout my joy from the rooftops. I sometimes feel that the lack of mention of sex in my chronicles distorts its importance in my life and distorts the view of my life that it presents. Perhaps it is that my model for journalling is my mother who has kept a journal since high school. There is a lot about daily ironing and who she visited but not a word about making love (though I'm quite sure she did).

So, even though I have a sextalk friend's list that I could lock it to, I don't talk about sex. On one hand it would get repetitive... how many times is it interesting to read "X & I had great sex this morning/afternoon/evening"... but then there are lots of repetitive things in my journal - caching, georging, tuesday dinner, going to lunch, doing the various organizational things that recur in my life. Sooo. what does a good Ljer do when confronted with a problem? Create a poll!

Nod. One other thing that I think is worthy of mention is that sex talk is never really as much fun to read or write as it was to do.

I don't mind reading about sex, and I kinda-like it on several levels... "my friend is happy", "my friend trusts me enough to share this with me", "wow, that's how I feel/kinda like how I feel/not what I feel/etc."

But I have to admit that even if I broke through feelings of propriety, and was willing to share what had happened, I'd kind of wonder who really cares that on X-night, I spun a really hot fantasy verbally while making love to my partner, so that both my words and my physical actions were combining in a crazy melding of pleasure? I'm not going to go much further than that, and even reading it sounds as much like boasting as sharing interesting news.

*chuckle* The way I see it, those who really care probably already know.
