Virgins
Slobbering
On the plane from Tel Aviv to New York this column by David Brooks about the governor of New York and his fondness for a certain strumpet made me smile: “I don’t know if you’ve seen a successful politician or business tycoon get drunk and make a pass at a woman. It’s like watching a St. Bernard try to French kiss. It’s all overbearing, slobbering, desperate wanting. There’s no self-control, no dignity.” Mr. Brooks has certainly a point, but if it wasn’t for losing self-control and dignity most people would never ever have sex. This planet would be inhabited by perpetual virgins.

I found this article very enjoyable too, although a bit black and white, but your comment made that clear. It is indeed very easy to never have sex.
Nice picture by the way, it makes me think of Egon Schiele.

Imagine people having sex ànd keeping dignity and self control. That must be the worst sex ever...
Imagine having sex without losing self-control.
Ron,

If you stay on the site, you can only see new comments once you post your own comment or when you leave the site and return on it. It is normal procedure here.

Yes, and it is called ‘sex in cold blood’. Some even like it.

While reading the article I understand why the women keep standing behind the politician, judge etc. during their press conferences. They don’t seem to have normal relationships being married to an autist or selfkicker.
Could that be that the prostitution industry is so huge ( then there have to be more politicians or influential people involved)?
Or can it be the reason that these people need more “dangerous” tension to be triggered to have sex as a stresskiller?
I don’t know because I’m not married to a influential person. So I don’t have to be afraid?

But we should not forget most people cherish successful politicians or business tycoons. We, the public, feed them, we feed the beast. Most of us want to be successful and be cherished.

You would not believe me, but this actually happened a long time ago in our office far, far away: a male drunken director nibbled on female assistants’’ ear.
In a more cynical mood, I would say, for your own comfort, if you walk with tycoons, be sure to keep your Vaseline by the hand.

What is it you do not understand?
The lapse from a tongue in your ear to a Lewinsky-Clinton cigar?

Jan,
The thumbs on fire.

My guess:
1) thumbs up = I strongly approved Helen’s suggestion about the cigar.
2)On fire = Helen put the cigar on fire (Come on baby, light my fire
Try to set the night on fire…Yeah!)
Dance Vera, dance…
