“First sex is a dividing line: you step over it and transform from girl to woman, boy to man, child to adult. Conversion. Communion. It is called ecstasy for a reason.

Which is why virginity cannot be lost. There is no loss. There is only gain. Unfolding, knowing, more.

This, of course, is why there are so many rules about sex. Sexuality is a basis for power and agency and awe. Stepping over the divine line into the miracles of body and self makes you wonder: what else is possible? What could possibly be impossible?”

- Kelly Diels 

Perhaps it’s because it’s “that time of the month”, and I’m apt to be emotionally moved by things like commercials and sappy songs on the radio. Perhaps I’m feeling a little guilty for not writing as much as I’d like to on this blog. But I think it’s mainly because when you see something you know is good – brilliant even – you want to tell it to the world. I highly recommend get your ass over to Cleavage, and the wonderful prose of Kelly Diels. Now, you may not always agree with what she has to say (I don’t), but I love love love her passion. And I do agree with plenty (tons!) of what she has to say. And all of it makes me want to be a better blogger. A more consistent blogger. To show my passion to all. Now, isn’t that the highest goal for any relationship? To encourage others to be better? So, that’s what she’s done, even though she doesn’t know it! I hope you really do check it out. I’ve put her blog on my blogroll too, so there’s no excuse that you can’t find it. And just in case there was any question – I am not getting any sort of reciprocation on this – I just like her blog.

 OK, I’m off my soap box now. Just go check it out.

Note: I added the quote at the top after just posting this – I had meant to include it originally and in my haste to sing her praises, I forgot to put it in there!
