I love that turn of phrase, "I am wonderful but prefer to keep everyone but my partner wondering just how wonderful."<br /><br />And yes, you've nailed it, my opinion on other people is worth absolutely nothing and has zero bearing on other people, it's really just about me.<br /><br />Just like I said in the post, people CAN, WILL AND SHOULD do exactly whatever pleases them.Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18103543209909479984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249596986658914193.post-67028396131846696782016-07-22T23:30:16.993-04:002016-07-22T23:30:16.993-04:00I appreciate how you value/create specialness by s...I appreciate how you value/create specialness by sharing certain parts of yourself and not others.<br /><br />I have been married for 25 years. Working through the bumps in communication, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, that seem to routinely happen is partly good fortune but mostly persistent effort.<br /><br />The decision to wear clothes or not I am sure is part of being a couple. But most of my energy is spent trying to work through the details of mutual respect - remember to empty the dishwasher or make supper or umpteen other details of give and take.<br /><br />I am generally attracted to women. What seems works best if I note these attractions but on principle see women as people not as attractive bodies. For me this is a spiritual practice - practice meaning I decide to repeat this self discipline and spiritual because I am acting from a princple rather than a base desire I share with critters. Yup, I am different from critters when I do this - and I think it is something special that people can do and grow.<br /><br />I do not think much about clothes and how what I wear will affect others. My bad maybe - but I am pretty busy. In some situations - at the pool or when it is super hot, but not usually while walking around town (but maybe), I might like to take my shirt off. It is kind of a bummer if that is a problem for you. But I do not think you are trying to tell me what to do, right? How you feel about seeing me is about you, K?<br /><br />That said, I plan to keep some parts covered - I am wonderful but prefer to keep everyone but my partner wondering just how wonderful.<br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918730004142588805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3249596986658914193.post-29772860029321734442016-07-21T10:06:50.109-04:002016-07-21T10:06:50.109-04:00Prudish and objectifying, based purely on fantasy ...Prudish and objectifying, based purely on fantasy and not reality... You're creating the narrative of a reality you'd like to exist. Meanwhile, you diminish that guy (and every guy, girl, who doesn't conform to your quirky tastes), because his t-shirt was off... Do you realize you'll be judged by the same standards? Why not be inclusive? Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
