Thanks so much for joining us here a...Dear Shanna,<br /><br />Thanks so much for joining us here at the Grip and for sharing snippets of your wonderful story as well as your insights on the true nature of beauty. I couldn't agree more. Some of the high points of my erotic life have involved people whom the world would never label as "attractive"--but that didn't get in the way of the connection.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-74448212365107636212010-01-09T13:58:06.799-05:002010-01-09T13:58:06.799-05:00Ooh, Jeremy -- You know how to flatter a girl!

I loved this idea, as it makes a lot of sense to me, and it's something that I strive for: <br /><br />"really about who has the capacity to let go of the self consciousness and express themselves erotically. Its funny how there are some women who are not beautiful or even pretty or young but when they walk by me I look up and I see other men turn and look at them also as if they are trailing some magnetic current in the air."<br /><br />Best, s.Shanna Germainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277611199517242974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-67916471742490243962010-01-09T12:20:23.938-05:002010-01-09T12:20:23.938-05:00Heya Ash,

welcome to OGG. I like this post, and...Hi Shanna!<br /><br />welcome to OGG. I like this post, and I think it had a lot of thoughtful ideas in it. I thought it was especially interesting to hear from someone who had had experience with both "beautiful" and ordinary looking folks and found sensuality was more common in the ordinary folks. Makes me feel better about myself. It seems though hit sin;t so much who is beautiful as who is attached to their beauty, such as it is really about who has the capacity to let go of the self consciousness and express themselves erotically. Its funny how there are some women who are not beautiful or even pretty or young but when they walk by me I look up and I see other men turn and look at them also as if they are trailing some magnetic current in the air. Pheromones? Its a mystery.<br /><br />I like erotic horror too. And erotic fairy tales too. Both of these are difficult genres to write well. You sound good.<br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-73254200724090089342010-01-09T09:04:36.777-05:002010-01-09T09:04:36.777-05:00Hi Shanna,
