Consumation

Graduation night 2000 I experienced my first sexual encounter as an adult. It is all I thought it would be and not as I had hoped. It was great in the fact that I had found someone to share themselves with me. Sex wasn’t what I remembered from when I was eight, it felt mechanical. I didn’t derive the same pleasure from it that I felt a decade before. Something was differnt. I felt like a man, not the insecure little boy that I felt like. When I was with her I walked around the house nude and I did not give my apperance a second thought. It was as if my insecuities melted when I was with her. It was a new feeling that I felt, but it was not the pleasure that I felt in my first expirence when I was a boy. It was an abomination because I broke my vow to abstain. I am not one of the fallen, but I am falling. It has made me “hungry” for it, I want to have sex again. It has also made me be repulsed by my thoughts. I find myself thinking, “I could fuck her.” Its a real, carnal desire. Then I think of her. I think this is something that I would never have done. I feel like I should have be more mature about the situation and made it work. Then I feel that I want to throw her aside and fuck the shit out of her best friend. There was this odd repulsion as well. Not from her, but from sex. Now that I think about it, the next day when she came back over and we engaged in the act of lust again. My heart wasn't in it. I didn't want to have sex. I blew off my disintrest with an excuse, but I was not attracted to the concept of sex. I had been sated the night before. What I think that had been increased though was my heightened awarness that I was able to attract others into sexual relations. Even though I am fat and I feel I am unattractive, others do not. I wanted to be able to attain any woman that I could for the simple fact that it would stroke my ego a little more. Even though I attempted and bacame a devilish flirt, I was shot down numerous times. Why am I always divided on every subject? I feel bad that I want to do this, and then I feel exalted as well. Proud of the fact that I can get it, ashamed in the fact that I know I can and might try.

I know that I do not love her. I feel that I confuse the act of love with the carnal act of reproduction. I have been lost and not found. Am I too logical in my own mind to fall in love? How can I shut down that part of me? I am puzzled, I am scatter-brained, Its my soul’s hate, as well as love. Fear of being together versus the fear of being alone.Love was once described to as such:

That out of all the people you look for, You are searching for the person that has done something, or knows something that you would like to know or do. That you cast your ambivalence onto this person. It is the opposite of hate in the same fashion.

Logic tells me that this is true, my heart is undecided. Love is blind, such as I have been told. And so is hate, rage, and fury. Is one more desirable than the other? But they often feel the same in some unfathomable sense or another.
