Romance vs. Raunch

[RomanHans]

Lead me, I shall follow Sir.

No need for you to follow--I intend for you to be a full participant in this caper...

Let's step into this place--a bit dark, but the deep, pounding rhythm of the music from within suggests the kind of sexual performance taking place there...

bump

Hi va....nice bump there. Hugs and kisses all.

Was just thinking about something today....and thought this would be the place to ask. If you write something that is romantic, specifically about and share it with that one person, does sharing it with others then negate the romantic aspect? Or take something away from the special meaning of it?

Was just curious b/c this came up with me today, and I really am not sure how I feel. It isn't a problem either way, but would love to hear others thoughts on it. Thanks.

I think it depends. Did the original person writing it ASK about sharing it?? or just share it??

Also, if the recipient shares it w/ others, would that negate the romance also. (like your husband/bf writes you a poem and you run to your gf's going, "isn't he so sweet that he wrote this (hand them said item) for me?" You think you are bragging on them, and they think you are bearing THEIR souls to strangers, risking them to ridicule.

Perception is a tricky thing.

Good points. I didn't explain this situation too well though. I wrote this particular item, and the person I sent it to thought I should share it, thinking it was beautiful. I felt funny though. Like sharing it with others would be taking away from it. But then thought if he suggested sharing it, maybe it wouldn't be so bad LOL. Got it spinning around in my head now.

ah, that may be a personal preference then, IMHO. The other person doesn't seem to mind, seem flattered that you cared and wants to show others. They are asking you how you feel about it. (very nice of them, I might add. ) I don't think it would deminish your feelings about them or their feelings about what you wrote, so the romance would still be there. Also, you have to think that some of the greatest romance poems/stories in the real world are published works from a person's real life. Some of the greatest paintings are supposedly of models that were actually involved w/ the artist.... due to his caring for them, he put more passion into the work of art of them.

The real question may be how would you feel about "exposing" your soul to strangers? Are you more of a private person in general, then maybe shouldn't do it. If you have a more public vitality (not really the word I want, but it's excaping my mind), then you may want to think of doing it. Do what you feel comfortable w/.

Thanks va for your perspective......hadn't thought of it in those terms. I get so shy with my writing I have a natural hesitation in putting much out for public viewing anyway. I would never think of sharing something from the heart without the other person being ok with it, but didn't think of it in respect to art.

I know the hesitation was on my part, feeling private about it, but the romance question was one I couldn't figure out. LOL figuring out that sometimes throwing it out for others gets it out of my head I also see that putting something out on a thread, and having that one person know it was about them, could be romantic in its own way.

Yes, them knowing what you are talking of, while others don't. I can see how that could be romantic (sort of like the being out in public and only your mate knowing that you have no undies on....)

OOOOO! I love doing that one.....and combining it with whispering in his ear what I want to do with him once we get somewhere alone.....combining the R&R again

Yes, maybe that is how they are looking at you sharing your writings... as an extension of combining r&r and it being more of a turn on.....w/ them knowing who you were writing about. and the reaciong to/from it... what inspired the writing, ect. (just ideas. )

LOL I see that knowing smirk there and that is probably very much it. I just wasn't seeing the connection at first. It wasn't worrying me, but it did seem to fit the thread here.

Sometimes by talking to others, they do give a diff perspective than when you are too close to the matter. Then add my warped perspective of things, lol (I do mean that in a good way), and no telling what you might get.

Yup, and that was exactly what I was hoping for here....and I respect a warped perspective.....always interesting....sometimes unexpected

another example to it, thought of this w/ V-day coming up. They have the public messages of love in the newspaper, is concidered sweet...romantic.... and "aaaahhhh" type things.

LOL I tend to block thoughts of V-day and would never have even thought of that example. Don't think I have ever had a romantic V-day so tend to ignore that holiday

As I tried to relax my body tonight, my thoughts wander along a well worn path. As I head out on that path, a path usually clothed in green grass and wild flowers, the sun streaming through the branches.....it is snow covered now, but hints of green peek through.....hidden under the snow and ice, awaiting the first touch of spring. Walking down the path, so quiet, serene, peaceful.....no wind stirring, a few snowflakes drifting down and settling on my hair, my breath visible in the cold. Walking on and on, soaking up the stillness, taking it all in, feeling the quiet, the waiting of the plants and trees.....coming around a bend in the path, the lake just in front of me. Ice and snow covering all but a small portion in the center. Standing on the bank, seeing the lake hidden beneath the mantle of winter, waiting. Closing my eyes, patiently waiting for you to join me.....hoping to feel you come up behind me.

Trembling in anticipation of being with you....my eyes remain closed as I let my feelings search for you.....reaching out.......turning slightly, I open my eyes and see you standing there. A slight smile comes to my lips, but no words. Nothing needs to be spoken. Reaching one hand out to gently touch your face......my fingers grazing your cheek, lips....looking into your knowing eyes, opening my thoughts, my feelings, my desires to you as I see my desire reflected back to me.

This is my vision of romance.

So, no post-Valentine's Day reports to this thread? Was no one raunchy, romantic or both?

FYI, I was 'none of the above.'
