The thing is that I went to the movies yesterday, but she couldn't make it, so I went with Hector and my brother. We saw Kinsley. I knew it was going to be a good interesting movie, due to the actual topic and all. But I know now is that I cannot really talk about it, or about what it states, without the risk of sounding way too stupid.
I mean, the movie is a biography. Quite good, and at the same time it talks about sex. And everything that it implies, in a wonderful taboo breaking way. (I am even unsure as of how all of Guadalajara will take it, specially older folks). At the same time it doesn't promote sex, neither becomes erotic, or pornographic. It just talks about sex as a fact of life, and as something that should be demystified so that people can actually enjoy it more, and all the fears, guilt and questions around it can be cleared out.
And by enjoying sex it talks about enjoying your sexuality. Not only having intercourse with someone, which can be great, but actually getting to know yourself. (Yes, I am talking about masturbation here... And yes, for girls too!).
Kinsley's theories are not new, his works are a couple of decades old and all. Still, it amazes to see how much of that old fashion way to see things remain. How much guilt there is around the topic, and how much ignorance for that matter. Ignorance at the end leads to mistakes, to STD's, to hatred, to unwanted pregnancy, and unhappy couples.
I think his proposal wasn't go ahead and do it, all of you!. It was more like, go ahead and ask about it, don't feel shy, nor guilty... Sexuality is a big part of your life, so enjoy it the way you feel fit. Not the way you've been told is the right way.
Kinsley's attempt, I believe, was noble in it's way. And although this movie won't make it in my top movies list, as a biography, and as a way to know the basics of his works and proposal, it is a very good see.
Go see it, and then we can discuss it!. ^_^

On another note, it seems Daniel will be on the city tonight!... Yay!!!...
He he he...
Cheers.

You know you are repeating yourself a lot? If you want to show us you really love Wend, you should do it by telling us the little details, the nice and beautiful things you discover about HER.You keep telling us the same stuff about yourself, and how you feel and how you smile, but you don´t describe much of her (Or much of anything outside yourself, for that matter.)
I hope this post does not sound harsh or something. I enjoy this blog, and read it mostly every day by 10 A.M... I just think that if you are crafting memories for your future, you should craft them in more detail.
Altough I think the same as "luker above", it's quite nice to read something different..
so, you should do that more often (write about stuff besides Wend)
;)
I think you are quite right Luker... I had been wondering how to solve that issue... But, indeed... It is all in the little details. And I have managed to, so far, remain quite vague in my descriptions.
