Sliding


There are cultural norms that we see and are influenced by every day. The internet allows us to explore areas that may not be as comfortable for us to explore in the real world.

We play roles in the world, with people around us. By finding an arena to look at things that trouble us but intrigue us, things we are curious about but unsure of, we can explore other feelings and urges within us.

Hopefully to our satisfaction. Maybe learn something.

There is great value in being able to slide back and forth between hetrosexual imagery and homesexual imagery. Between voyeristic bahaviors and exhibitionistic ones. We are so programmed to be in a binary situation, to define ourselves either as left or right, as straight or gay - as conservative or liberal. Top or bottom. Giver or receiver. One partner or many. A-type or B-type. Cum, piss or shit.

Why define and delimit? There are all the borders around us that prevent us from actually looking outside ourselves and inside ourselves. So you don't have to worry about if you're going to land onto someone else's platform.

If you drift on your own, not so worried about the position you end up with, you begin to enjoy the transcendental journey back and forth and around, exploring and experiencing the wind as you're blown by the fates, by circumstance, and by urge.

Secret as you like. Or share as you want to.

A slippery journey in which no one should direct you on. As long as you are willing to land when it's time. Where you want.

With whomever.
