Scratch
Eternal
A while ago a woman asked me: “Have you ever slept with a virgin?”
The question surprised me, especially coming from a woman.
I answered: “To the best of my knowledge I never deflowered a woman.”
“Well,” she said, “in my time I deflowered quite few boys and I can recommend it.”
Tonight I saw the movie “Shall we kiss” for the second time; this time with a friend and for one reason or another I thought about the conversation with the woman.
If it’s true, as the German novelist Daniel Kehlmann claims, that an author doesn’t know anything and that he starts from scratch with every new book, then you can also argue that a lover starts from scratch with every new partner.
Whatever we do, deep inside us there is an eternal virgin.

You have the chance to get rid of me and perhaps of other commentators whom you don't wish to read. Will you please answer my question: do you feel being raped by being read by people you don't like? If you didn't make the connection between writngs as the body of a writer, prostitutalized, I wouldn't have asked this question. Obviously I am not interested in becoming a client. I have no wish to be violent. Also, does this refer to all of your texts?@Sander

I deleted the obvious "spam comments". Thanks!Arnon
I'm amused. Where then my comments are located, beneath or above the obvious spam? Or, have you, like most pristitutes, developed the ability to dissociate yourself during the act?Wow, spam...
Somebody went through quite some trouble to spam this site. If it wasn't done manual, it was either a very intelligent script or dumb luck... Ofcourse this user is blocked, but I will prepare for more to come. If things get worse we'll probably have to add some less invisible spam measures.Arnon
Now on subject; following your line of reason I have not been deflowered in a very very long time..." Whatever we do deep inside us there is an eternal virgin " ....
this is beauty full :)

Is this a cry for help?Arnon
Well, I was wondering if it was a bad or a good thing I've hidden my virgin so deep inside me. I guess it's the latter, in my current life my virgin can be rather destructive.Yes, virgils.
I read a soldier is going to the Libris this year. I think Mutsaers will win.

The day I officially lost my virginity, I was euphoric. To found out, a few days later, that nothing really has changed. Maybe only a bigger need for more euphoria.
Virginity
People are mesmerized with the idea of the virgin, for example ‘virgin land’. A country may have been once crowded with prehistoric beasts or infested with germs, we still call it ‘virgin’ land, as long as no fellow human being has touched it before.I hated losing my virginity. I have taken it once. I didn't like that either.
The whole thing isn't meant for me.

If we need to take your inner virgin out for a walk you can count on me.[ Add comment ]
