21/30 - No Sex

April 30/30

21/30

Once the tangle of sex as an ultimate state is no longer the stamp that fuels your propellers, an entire system of planets open up, new worlds and relationship no longer defined by shades of procreative drives. Friendships untainted by the push and pull of attraction. It’s all a matter of degrees, of course.

I think it was Plato who walked into a summer market at the age of 80, fresh youths on all sides buying food, and he felt nothing for them. Rumps, boobs, abs, legs, eyes, none of it worked on him anymore. He was sexless. Legend has it that he fell to his knees and said “I’m free! I’m free!”

For some this happens earlier. For some, it’s a lifelong state. To know, like, befriend, and/or conversely, to hate, despise and dislike people for reasons that have nothing to do with the attractiveness of their appearance is a strange experience.

One I welcome.
