Food and sex
Pregnant and Jewish
Two hours after landing I had an appointment with a photographer.
She worked on me for ninety minutes and while she was taking pictures we had a pleasant conversation.
The photographer was pregnant and Jewish, but not religious.
She said: ‘Bacon is my favorite food.’
This made me smile.
I’m not religious at all, but somehow pork doesn’t do the trick for me.
I guess we all need a fair amount of private taboos to stay sane. Food and sex are a great reservoir for these small but practical taboos.

My curiousity is stronger than my promise to keep silence: what are your taboos? Mine, i think, is never to force myself to read Totem and Taboo...
i was just about to have a break and please myself with a lovely orgasm, till i had a quick look at your blog and saw that particurally ugly picture ! if it wasn´t me myself who had decided to look, i would say `you owe me one!´
oh well, a pity, but i will survive and won´t look at your blog before having break , but after it...
Food and sex (and clothes) are a great reservoir and preoccupation for religions too.
Bacon and eggs, delicious. Red meat, like beef, doesn’t do the trick for me. On the other hand I eat all vegetables. All that did not change since I was a kid.

How does? I would say, next to the real thing, they look (and smell) delicious…
Jan, proboblly you are hetero, aren´t you? You see, i took me a long time to be found of the image of penis , and actually enjoy looking at it , as it isn´t a estethical beauty. I don´t think i would be able to take those baked (biscits?) to my mouth.

You ought to be aware of the way your association works if your abbility to undergo private plessures is this fragile.
I remember bacon has a very strong flavour. Maybe the strongest I know. And for some reason I was a lot more unhappy when I ate meat than now. I ought to go to some vegetarian religion, I think.
It is also good to have private taboos in a relation;
it keeps the relation sane.
Food as a substitute
Those bacon sticks (or how you call them) look delicious. The problem is that I use 'comfort food' as a substitute for sex. It's not fully satisfying, but still..
This morning I was on the phone with my 'amour', he didn't had time to come over and visit me in my students home. So I baked bread pudding (one of my favorites). The smell of cinnamon is still in the corridor. I have the feeling that my roommates are starting to like the fact that I don't have enough sex.

A bit late but congratulations on your new website! Can you make your blog accessible for pda/blackberry as well?

Please contact Sander for technical questions.
I just realised: this jewish kid will be eating pork even before he can make his own decisions. Poor kid.
