The Joy of Sex

Causing the confusion over trilogies is the grandaddy of all pseudo trilogies:
The Lord of the Rings

Yes! I said it - LOTR is NOT a trilogy. A trilogy is three complete novels that are related to each other, like 2001 and 2010 are related to each other

LOTR is one story divided into 6 sections sold under 3 covers. There is no way The Fellowship of the Ring could be sold as a novel, any publisher on earth would throw it back and say "I hate the ending"

After LOTR sent the term trilogy spiraling downwards trailing smoke, anything can call itself a trilogy now.
This. This right here. This is what is wrong with the world today šŸ˜„.

A long time ago, in a convent far, far away, a young nun learns the joy of masturbatory and lesbianism sex! Rated PG13 for intense sexual content. Wait, PG13?
Emily, I'm not hijacking your thread; this should be on point. I had a story like that, except it was one of the students there who indulged in both, not one of the nuns. There were other complications, but it was a real place once. Why do you think they call it Convent Avenue?

1940's: Lots of nuns, and lots of chaste (?) students to look after. That was the place, Manhattanville College of the Sacred Heart, latter purchased by the City University.

 
I'm actually thinking about writing a story about Nuns in Covent. I'm not catholic, so I'll have to do some research.

That'd be like asking a fry cook to consult about French cuisine. šŸ˜†
I was in Catholic "religious instructions" once a week, starting in 1963. Old-school nuns teaching, but I don't what they did up there in their top floor quarters. Even though I was only eight, I knew that there were real women somewhere under their Medieval-looking clothes. There was still something other-worldly about them, and the shorter they were, the meaner they were.

I don't know if there are any still left there, or even if the school still operates. (Regular Catholic school students the other hours of the week). The church is still there.

The Catholic religion or denomination is a foreign thing to me. Any Christian faith is a little out of my wheelhouse. I would guess, the whole celibacy thing would cause many, many, many problems. Come to think about it, I have read something about that sort of thing and little boys with the priest.

Don't tell that guy moaning about Part Ones not being labelled "properly".

How would he ever cope with something that was published over a number of years? It's the Tolkein Conspiracy, tricking and deceiving all those poor readers, when in truth he was still writing the bloody novel.

I was raised in a very catholic family, went to catholic school, member of the CYO, my great uncle was a Jesuit priest in the Philippines, most of my dad's friends first name was "Father" I'm familiar with the religion.

The Catholic church has many traditions, pomp, and ceremony as your faith.
 
15 holidays but the Holidays are often more than one day. There are 8 days in Passover, and eight nights for Hanukkah.

Tu B’shevat - This holiday, the New Year of the Trees, marks the coming of spring. It is celebrated by having picnics, planting trees, and eating fruit.

Purim - The Festival of Lots recalls the rescue of the Jews of Ancient Persia from annihilation at the hands of Haman, who cast lots to choose this day for his plot to kill the Jews. Queen Esther and her uncle, Mordechai, foiled his plan.
On Purim, the Megillah of Esther is read, and the holiday is celebrated with festivity, costumes, and noisemakers. Hamantashen are the traditional food, mishloach manot (gift packages) are exchanged, and money is given to the poor.

Pesach / Passover The Exodus of the Jews from Egypt is celebrated with the eight-day festival of Passover. Ridding the home of chametz (leavened food) and eating only unleavened items commemorate the haste in which the former slaves fled Egypt, leaving them too little time for their bread dough to rise. Jews retell the story of the Exodus during their Passover Seders.

Yom Hashoah - Also known as ā€œHolocaust Remembrance Day,ā€ Yom HaShoah is marked by memorials and dedications to those who perished in the Holocaust.
Each year, the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum hosts a commemoration to honor survivors and remember the victims of the Holocaust. St. Louis survivors share eyewitness accounts of the Shoah, followed by music, liturgical readings, and prayers.

Yom Hazikaron - Israel’s National Memorial Day honors veterans, fallen military personnel, and victims of terror.

Yom Ha’atzmaut - Israel Independence Day is celebrated festively by Jews around the world, commemorating the Israeli Declaration of Independence in 1948.

Yom Yerushalayim - Jerusalem Day commemorates the liberation of the city of Jerusalem during the 1967 Six-Day War.

Shavuot - This holiday marks the end of the Counting of the Omer. It recalls Moses’ receiving of the Torah. The Megillah of Ruth is read, and all-night Torah study is customary. Dairy food, honey, and floral decorations are traditional.

Tisha B’av - This solemn day is a reminder of the destruction of the First and Second Temples in Jerusalem, which occurred on the same Hebrew calendar date. It is traditional to fast.

Rosh Hashanah - Literally meaning ā€œHead of the Year,ā€ Rosh Hashanah marks the beginning of the Jewish calendar. It begins a 10-day period of repentance and prayer which ends on Yom Kippur. We celebrate the holiday with services and apples dipped in honey to symbolize the hope for a sweet year to come.

Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement is the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, marking the end of the 10 days of repentance. It is spent in fasting and fervent prayer. Sounding the shofar signals the holiday’s end.

Sukkot - This harvest festival is named for the temporary dwellings, called Sukkot, decorated with fruit and vegetables, set up to recall the booths in which the Jews lived during their journey from Egypt. The holiday is marked by processions with the lulav (palm branch with myrtle and willow) and etrog (citron).

Shemini Atzeret - The day after Sukkot is Shemini Atzeret, which is combined in Israel with Simchat Torah, nominally a separate holiday; thus, there is no partaking of meals in the sukkah, nor use of the lulav and etrog. The special prayer for rain is recited during the musaf service.

Simchat Torah - Outside of Israel, the day after Shemini Atzeret, Simchat Torah marks the end of the annual Torah reading and the beginning of the cycle for the coming year. It is celebrated with singing, dancing, and merry processions of people carrying Torahs and children waving flags.

Chanukah / Hanukkah - In 167 BCE, the Maccabees led a band of Jews in a successful battle against the occupying Syrian-Greeks, who had desecrated the Second Temple’s eternal light. Miraculously, one day’s supply of oil lasted eight days, until more could be found. The Chanukah menorah is lit for eight nights to celebrate that miracle. Among the many Hanukkah traditions, children play dreidel and foods fried in oil are customary.

Duleigh, I was just going to say you have more holidays than us.​

 
Steven Hill (best known for being the elected DA on Law and Order) played, Daniel Briggs, the first leader of the IMF unit covered in Mission Impossible. He left the series because he refused to work after 6:00pm on Friday, to observe Sabbath.
 
Thank you Kumquatqueen and Duleigh for following-up, while I slept.

My subtle hint to Em is that she doesn’t have to stop her Coleoidphilia trilogy at three installments.

I think I’m only one good tentacle read away from unlocking a new fetish. :)
I’d love to reengage with the (rather simple) universe I created. But it would have to be tell a story worth telling.

Given how trepidatious I was, I think I probably grew more as a writer due to Coleoidphilia than anything else. No A Good Woman without it, no Jacob’s Progress. Hell, no Off the Shoulder.
