Does anyone like sex?

[Stella_Omega]

What?! I'm innocent, you know that. There are ties.

Correction, there were ties... Which I'll replace later.

When it comes to Stella, there are just so many possibilities, you know...

Stella: *lick*

Let's get ourselves arranged here, so the *licks* can be.. circular. Circuitous. Circuitry. Lots.

Right. Now your legs go *there* and my mouth... *there* That's all it needs to be. Thank you.

OK, all kidding aside, the "problem" with sex, as with any pleasure or source of happiness, is the phenomenon of sensory adaptation. Here are excerpts from a relevent article by Dwight Lee:

'. . . Another reason why (getting more of something you want) increases happiness only temporarily springs from our sensory adaptation to changing circumstances. It has long been observed that things people are at first intensely aware of soon blend into the background and go largely unnoticed. Our sensory receptors no longer respond to the continuous presence of this stimulus, whether an irritating one (for example, a noise, a foul odor, a flashing light, or the pressure from eyeglasses or hearing aids) or a pleasant one (for example, the sight of attractive and artfully arranged furniture, a beautiful view, or the coolness of an air-conditioned room on a hot day). More complicated stimuli, such as a new car or a new companion, which activate many of our sensory receptors in various ways that depend on a wide range of circumstances, resist sensory adaptation for a longer period, but they are not immune to it. According to psychologist Martin Seligman, “this process [of adaptation or habituation] is an inviolable neurological fact of life. Neurons are wired to respond to novel events, and not to fire if the events do not provide new information” (2002, 105). In other words, our sensory receptors are economizers, becoming activated only when new information becomes available. This process suggests that the higher income we are receiving and the new clothes, nicer car, and bigger house it allows us to purchase soon become old information, no longer able to activate our sensory awareness and keep us on an elevated level of happiness.'

' . . . Consider anything we value and seek more of because we believe it will make us happy—sexual satisfaction, religious fulfillment, professional success, a loving family, good friends, robust health, more education, or better looks, to name just a few. Like more money, more of these things increases our happiness, but only temporarily. We soon adapt to them and soon take them for granted, and though theyare important ingredients of a satisfying life, they lose their ability to boost our sense of happiness much, if at all, above the level we would experience with less of them once we had adapted to the loss.'

The good news for porn writers in all this is that the demand for fantasy is limitless.

Habituation is one thing, but a balance between hunger and satiety means that you maintain a respect for the things that are beneficial.

Stay on the edge of thirst and water will always taste good.

I think when our senses are glutted, is when we appreciate things the least. So staying clear, for me, is key to counteract being spoiled by habituation.

Diminishing returns.

(sorry, that damned old econ degree just won't shut up sometimes)

 

[Stella_Omega]

Life has a way of keeping us from the ennui of habituation, anyways...

I find it's more of a battle to get my personal minimum requirement, really-- I hardly ever get as much as I want.

 

[Recidiva]

Economics, maybe. That has to do with a market that can be obsessed with bigger and better.

But in reality, you need sleep, you need food, you need sex, you need shelter. Appreciation for the good stuff doesn't have to result in constant bigger and better.

I can tell when something isn't what I need, but when I have what I NEED, it's a clear difference between that and what I want.

I know, babe. Was being unnecessarily facetious.

 

[Trombonus]

I like sex...a lot

Why?

Because I do.

Thus I have spoken.

 

[Recidiva]

I know, babe. Was being unnecessarily facetious.

*sigh*

And I'm being all earnest.

I hate that crap.

I have simplicity issues, clearly.

Hey Sarahh.....

Just waiting to be mined.

I was thinking the dialog here would make a pretty edgy screenplay. Set up a bistro. Several tables, several different conversations, it could go in the same sequence, but actually be different dialogs. I am going to see what I can do. Never done a play before.


Oh yeah, Imp is in the corner masturbating in this.

Just be careful of her new navel piercing.

But hey - what am I doing?

Imp just jumped out at me when she said, "Can't stand it. Sex is just a chore. I totally suck at it, and I never want to do it again." Not sure which table she is going to be at, but she is going to publicly be going at it to create Irony.

I think you and Charley are going to play the lesbian couple, except you have Charley's hand on one thigh and some guy's hand on the other. Torn between lusts. You are also going to wear a scarf around your neck...Dual duty as a restraint and a collar for the submissive in you.
