They say that in a kiss one closes ones eyes out of feelings of great tenderness, a person who doesn’t close his or her eyes isn’t being sincere. But I am now going to admit that in my first kiss I closed my eyes out of extreme terror and nausea. I’m sorry but it is true. There was nothing tender about it, my eyes were shut because I was desperately trying to teleport myself to an entirely different place, the top bunk bed on a ship at stormy sea, inside a dirty prison cell in the middle of a scorching hot desert or even surrounded by crazy men with chainsaws ready to chop my limbs off – I wanted to be anywhere but there on a street being kissed by my first love.
I won’t even go into the details of making out on a bed the first time - but if you can picture a body alternating between being stiff as a dead piece of wood or jumpy like a yo-yo with a strong urge to escape head first from the bed then you’ve sort of got a feeling of what I was like.
Then from this first introduction to relationships I went straight into the next:
Married – ok, I wasn’t really married but things sure felt that way. It sneaked up on us, first buying homely stuff like teas and candles to enjoy together, then changing our style of dress, I became a more “mature”, wearing cardigans, pressed trousers and the colours varied from beige to tan to dark chocolaty brown, he stopped wearing his leather vest and patterned knitted jumpers that mama gave him for Xmas. Wow! How we must have turned each other on in our sober grown up clothes!
In the end we shared a flat and used the kitchen ware and towels his mother had saved for our marriage. She even had my wedding dressed planned and the names of our kids to be!!! I don’t blame him for freaking out and kicking me out and I am grateful he did because by then I had been deeply brainwashed by The Sect of Devout Polish Mothers.
So after being reprogrammed I decided to do something quite the opposite I would be a Mistress!
Hmm… I suppose you think I was heaped with gifts of furs and perfumes, had amazing sex and walked around at home in sexy ravishing lingerie just waiting for “Him” to come after work before going to his little wife…
It wasn’t really like this. First of all I didn’t know I was a mistress until it was too late. Secondly I didn’t get any gifts but he did make three-course meals for me which was nice when he didn’t try to kill me by putting nuts in the food. Then the sex…ahh yes…well I’ll give him one thing – he was the first person to make me feel sexy and beautiful and amazing so I guess the sex was out of this world – that is to say, when he could get IT up…
When he proudly told me I was his mistress I thought “God” would drop a tonne of bricks on me as punishment but that didn’t happen so I found a way to punish the adulterer. By getting a little Fuck Friend to commit adultery with myself - yes, I agree the logic centre of my emotions was slightly off at the time.
My little Fuck Friend, well he wasn’t little...and it was good, extremely amazing, out of this universe, filling in every possible way - I hope you get the picture? But there is line I think where sex only can get better if emotions are involved and emotions wasn’t a good idea.
So I went travelling and tried relationships that I never thought I would try:
“One night stands” – Really?! Sex is fun and great and but it only gets better with practise so what is the point with just one night?
“Mother-son relationship” – Cook for him, wash for him, send him to school (I mean work) and comfort him when he cries cause his penis is too small. No. I’ll never do that again
“Baby-snatcher” – I’ll just give you a memorable quote: “No, not there! Nearly…now what are you doing? Really?! Don’t you know anything about the female anatomy?! Look I’ll show you…”
The “Sharing relationship” – A relationship where he shared his love for me with the love for one or two substances of an intoxicating kind, real life soon turned into a rollercoaster of ups and downs. A declaration of love from him could quickly turn into a monologue of verbal abuse and vice versa. Not nice.
Well after testing a lot of different kinds of relationships I have now turned to the “Long distance relationship” and it is ok: I don’t have to deal with the entrapment of a marriage, I am not his mistress (am nearly sure), the sex is amazing the three weeks a year we have sex which is more than just one night and even though he still is a kid he is wiser than the oldest being on earth. Oh and he has the worlds best mother who cooks and cleans for him.
So I think I’ve got a great thing going, don’t you?

Much easier for me to tell... There's been only two. Well, there been others, but only flings doomed from the start, unilateral love, or one-or-two-night stands (on whose pointlessnes I totally agree with you)
The first was the Great Romantic Absolute Very First Love, when we fell in LOVE due to Dramatic Events, then Eloped to India to Lose Ourselves in The Milling Throngs of Anonymous Natives.
Show show show me
How you do that trick she said
The one that makes me scream,
The one that makes me laugh,
and i promise you, i promise you,
i'll run away with you
It was just like heaven.
We came back, and for a couple of years to be without each other was as marvellous as... the most marvellous thing you can imagine. Though I had my sometime episodes of my mind losing it, which as bad as it felt for me, must have been true hell for her.
So i was The Fragile, and it turned into a Suffocating Symbiosis. Which when it ends, of course, feels like what was half (at least, in ways much more than) of you for five years has been amputated.
What don't kills you hardens you. Being so close to the edge, I became adamantine hard, and had a übermenschen life until love felled me again.
She was in love with someone else, but I knew it was No Good, and just was A Question of Time, A Question of Lust before I'd take her under my wing.
Now it was me that was to be responsible and mature. To show her the World in My Eyes, to set a Policy of Thuth, to be the Personal Jesus.
I tried to make her feel she could be loved, was worth being loved. Her confidence grew slowly, but surely over three years. She accepted it could be so eventually. But not by me.
A charade of pretend Fuck Friendship ensued for a year or two; now I don't what, or rather who, is gonna happen next. At least maybe I'm free of dellusions and ambitions now. Perhaps it'll help next time. Perhaps.
What, so what do I think of relationships? Well, more or less exactly the same what my pal Nick sez:
Despair and Deception, Love's ugly little twins
Came a-knocking on my door, I let them in
Darling, you're the punishment for all of my former sins
I let love in
I let love in
The door it opened just a crack, but Love was shrewd and bold
My life flashed before my eyes, it was a horror to behold
A life-sentence sweeping confetti from the floor of a concrete hole
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
Well I've been bound and gagged and I've been terrorized
And I've been castrated and I've been lobotomized
But never has my tormenter come in such a cunning disguise
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
O Lord, tell me what I done
Please don't leave me here alone
Where are my friends?
My friends are gone
I let love in
I let love in
So if you're sitting all alone and hear a-knocking at you door
and the air is full of promises, well buddy, you've been warned
Far worse to be Love's lover than the lover that Love has scorned
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
I let love in
Who is this EMM? What a looser! Get your own blogg space! This is not a private dialog to you, everyone is reading!
You forgot to mention the dildo...
Ahhh the dildo...
My lovely toyfriend relationship left such a huge impression on me that he deserves an entire post just for himself.

yeah.
no, it's not a dialog. it's called a blog comment thread, fyi.
people read the post, the comments, and write comments on the post, or other comments, or whatever they fancy that's not OT.
thought it was just me and a couple of friends reading here.
but it seem we're on a more public stage now with a bigger audience; which, of course, will make we more wary of open-heartenedness.
And of insulting losers who dare not speak in their own name.
It pains me that we never managed to get my name on that list. It would have been a hell of a ride, I promise!
And it pains me that I didn't manage to get your name. I am a hell of a rider!
I am certain you are hell of a rider, but would you been up to the challange I wonder. It is really big! The challange that is.
Oh, and you did get my name. You just missed my number.
