I was recently rereading a journal ...Hello, Garce,<br /><br />I was recently rereading a journal from the most sexually active period in my life. And do you know what I talk about most in those entries? God. I'm serious. At the time I viewed this astonishing flowering of my sexual self as a divine gift and a path to spiritual understanding. <br /><br />I was not "religious" in the traditional sense. I had no formal affiliation, though I'll always admit to being Jewish for cultural reasons. But I believed (as I still do) in a Spirit of creativity, order and love, a source of comfort and a fount of miracles, inside each of us. And I felt that I was in the midst of a miracle, a blossoming after sterile years of being anorexic. Being open to desire and being open to God seemed closely related to me. <br /><br />I never thought of myself as bold. I was always a timid little mouse. I'm surprised and amazed as I look back, wondering where I found the trust. Grateful that I did.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-35053921365747698582010-03-15T00:48:37.093-04:002010-03-15T00:48:37.093-04:00Hello, Ash,

I didn't publish my first book until I was 46 and most of my more extreme adventures were behind me. (At least, I THINK they are behind me, though one never knows about the future!) <br /><br />I've always been fascinated by erotic desire, though, so I suppose that fascination has driven both my experiences and my writing. Certainly, I never planned to write about this stuff while I was involved.<br /><br />It's great to have you here at the Grip. I do hope you'll continue to drop by as often as you can.<br /><br />Warmly,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-88984760296129027222010-03-14T18:46:19.970-04:002010-03-14T18:46:19.970-04:00Hi Lisabet!

If there were no such thing as erotica, I think you would have invented it.<br /><br />Anyway. You;ve heard me express my sexual envy and goddess-worship of you before. If I had it to do over, your experiences are the ones I would covet for my own. I'm not convinced anymore that God likes relgiious people, if he likes anyone at all. I think what God likes are probably the bold people. You have lived your life boldly in so many ways. <br /><br />GarceGarceushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160407485298015371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-19840840086320276192010-03-14T10:42:04.830-04:002010-03-14T10:42:04.830-04:00Lisabet,

First of all, thanks for clearing th...Hi, Lisabet,<br /><br />First of all, thanks for clearing that up about the whipped cream and olives being done at separate times, because whipped creams and olives together? That would be just wrong on so many levels. <br /><br />It's interesting how people think that if you write erotica, you've actually done all the things about which you write. If you wrote murder mysteries, I doubt they would they assume you are either a murderer or a detective, nor would anyone assume you are an alien or an android, if you write science fiction.<br /><br />In any case, I think it's wonderful that you've actually experienced many of the things you write about. I don't think I've ever actually itemized my sexual adventures, but I'm pretty sure I haven't been quite as adventurous as you. It isn't a competition, of course, but reading your list, I realize that for my part, it isn't so much a lack of desire to do the whole erotic adventure laundry list, but lack of opportunity and the urge to "stay low." i.e. The desire to experience vs the desire to be safe. I wonder what percentage of erotica writers actually start out with the thought, "I'm going to be a sexual adventurer and then write all about it." Few, I suspect. It's probably more a matter of finding the adventures, fantasizing about others, and then, in retrospect, thinking, "I should write about some of this stuff." <br /><br />I also wonder how many more things I might have done, had I taken up writing erotica much earlier in my life...just for research purposes, of course. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences. A fascinating look behind the scenes of a [more erotically adventurous] fellow erotica writer.<br /><br />RoseRMChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10038014883652311509noreply@blogger.com
