Sex and depression

Hello, this is Frommy again, back from a week in the Catskills. It was very pleasant there.

I am happy that so many people have read my stupid little posting and are discussing it. Thank you!

Please explain to me: what is this problem with Rosie? Is she male or female? In Bulgaria sometimes men's name is Rosie and also I remember there was a male prime minister in a small Caribbean state, I think he was called Rosie Douglas.

What is the controversy? Did I do something wrong or hurt somebody feeling? I am sorry Miss Rosie (or Mr Rosie!!)

Mr MacCutcheon, I think it is good you write about life as a souffle or scrambled egg. With your kind permission, I will quote a poem by another person with talent. It is one of my favorite poems right now.

The Best Meals of My Life (Joseph Duemer)
"When I crack an egg
I usually think
of the French girl
who lived downstairs
in the boarding house
where I endured
the winter following
my first marriage.
She would never
go to bed with me
but showed me instead
in her generosity
how to slip my finger
in a circle inside
the two halves of
a freshly broken
egg shell to extract
the last slick white
to dribble it into
the skillet. Her parents
had lived through
Nazi poverty & she
lectured me—profligate
& depraved—on thrift
& virtue. Out of kindness
she gave me instead
of what I wanted
meals of potatoes
& eggs & that is
the way, isn't it, of virtue—
to give not pleasure
but what is necessary
to sustain life: eggs
& potatoes & salt
over which it becomes
possible to talk
& even to think.
Life of the body,
life of the mind."

[Spud Songs, Helicon 9 Editions, 1999]

Joseph Duemer is also responsible for the excellent reflective weblog "reading & writing"

Isn't that a very pleasant poem?

Thank you for letting me share my little thoughts. You are very patient! Good bye for now, Frommy

Speaking of eggs...
I recently told a friend that I didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket regarding men. This is a first for me. I fall fast and hard, it usually takes me a bit to get over things. Then, I met this boy who is literally and admittedly nuts beyond belief who is crazy for me so he won't be with me. I'm okay with that because I've had enough schizo men already. So, I've been going out on dates with men who I like and who like me. Problem is now, my basket overfloweth. I really like the crazy guy (go figure) but I'm not going to confine myself to wondering what if?
Someone doesn't want to date me, so be it. Maybe he IS crazy. But now I'm feeling overwhelmed because I'm sensitive to hurting peoples feelings. There's not a "one" person I would like to stay with, but this rotating thing is getting exhausting.
And I've not screwed any of them, if that comes to question.
Any tips from those of you who date around a bit?
I'm confused.

i may not know what im talking about, so take it as you see it.
1. have fun.
2. this is not your last date.
3. dont screw them unless you want to.
4. you cant worry about hurting somebody's feelings cos everyone hurts and gets hurt, its a part of living.
5. be glad that you have choices, thats what makes it all the more interesting.. besides with other guys knowing that you are a "hot ticket" and if you cant get what you want with them, then they know you can get it somewhere else. that drives guys crazy. trust me i know.
i hope this helps

h. :

i see no problem someone like you couldn't solve.

you're not married. if you are promising no-one exclusive love then you are breaking no promises when you let your heart carry you about.

if the basket overfloweth... well just make sure those eggs you got are intelligent enough to understand you -- that they are mature enough to handle you. treat your guys with warmth and respect and you'll be just fine.

oh, and one more important thing: make sure you are not manipulating the men you go out with (yes: there is a pleasure to be derived from letting others fall in love with you, but it is not a clean pleasure).

the topic is silly and probably junk science but others are writing about it as well:

Article in Salon.com

frommy was pretty quick on this one, for which i want to commend him.

but of greater interest to me is this whole business of the psychology of sex and relationships. let's keep talking about this!

i found that article really interesting. i do believe it could be possibly true. but i think this needs more research. but i think girls are more fitting to answer.

How do I know the name of that writer Martin F. Downs?

i like that theory, however , i am sad to say i have never had anyone cum inside me, except when the condom broke, but that doesn't count because i wasn't expecting it. i also think i felt worse because i am paranoid as it is and conjured up the worst scenario.
however, this article could be the key to my depression.i knew a girl we once called cum dumpster. she was always in a good mood and passed law school quick and effortlessly.

Good day to one and all! Frommy from Sofia reporting back to the beautiful and friendly Pax Acidus people. (Yes, I saw the strange but pleasant pictures of Miss Rosie).

This gentleman names Martin Downs: does he read your website? I do not mean to insinuate! But perhaps he took a lead from this bulletin board discussion thread and then offered the topic to Salon.com? It doesn't matter, of course!

I am happy if my stupid little topic makes such an effect, even though it does not seem to be so probable. Funny little world, as they say in Bulgaria!

Hello Everybody! Are you well?

This is Frommy! How is your summer? My summer sucked and I am suffering (but only superficially!) My girlfriend said good-bye, she explained I am boring. Me and boring! Stupid maybe, but boring?

I also lost my job as a temp in Schenectedy public administration and had to take on two new jobs to compensate: one at Fatburger's here in town and another in the mornings to clean up at a local swimming pool.

But who's complaining -- I am in America, so I am lucky!

Only, get this: my Mama wants to come and live with me. At the moment I am saying airline ticket cost is too expensive from Sofia, I say she should stay with Uncle in Bulgaria until I get rich quickly. Ha!

Listen everybody: here is some more strange sex information. Let me explain. According to a new issue of British Magazine 'Nature" (I like to read in library, good education is important!) a team of scientists has been successful in growing pig semen and goat semen in a mouse.

Get that, a mouse! They transplanted the testicle tissue of of newly-born pig and goat under the skin of castrated mouse. It works, they say!

Now I know how they make Stuart Little! (By the way, is disgusting movie, if you ask me)

I hope you all have a very nice day,
Frommy
