Let's talk about sex

Sex is one of the most powerful emotions in the world that has lead to many wars and much given beauty to this world. It has allowed generation upon generation to survive from a mere quick burst of emotional ecstasy. But isn’t sex much more than just the combination of some super pelvic thrust combo. Is it not much more? Or has it just become a tool that we use to obtain 3 seconds of mental freedom (for women maybe about 2 minutes or so, depends on the mood LOL ☺ ). After a quick burst, we come back to reality; question the act we just did. Measuring our own self worth against our performance. It is also the reason why so many men get married at an early age to relieve their right hand of a tedious duty.

Now I sat with my 16 year old cousin, looking straight into his eyes as he asked “How do you deal with masturbation?” My jaw dropped, I had forgotten that in 3rd world countries sex was word that would cause a man to become eunuchs. In a muslim country such as Pakistan, sexual discussion is left for individuals to discover amongst the western pornographic material and bollywood. “Ah” I think to myself. Good’ol bollywood, how well did bollywood teach me about sex? I thought that by kissing a girl or chasing her around, I could get her pregnant. Oh how I was wrong on that as I learned years later in my health education class, while slipping a condom on my fingers. Anyways, I sat still frozen, peering into the curious eyes of my kid-cousin, as a wise monk teaching him about sex. I soon began to realize his somewhat distorted-fixated view on what sex is and how it is done. Just as he enjoyed the pleasures of masturbation, I showed him the numerous diseases that follow the ever so beautiful pleasure. He took a 5 min break to go throw up in the washroom ☺.

Sex has changed the social ways of a 3rd world country. It is a tool, I feel, that is used to keep individuals (mainly women) at a lower level. This leaves a bitter taste in my mouth because the younger generation will be the future that will not be able to understand the human needs and growth. It is natural for humans to question bodily changes but to suppress those questions just instigates problems the elders fuse such as rape, prostitution etc… Men who are unable to cope with their sexual needs, turn towards treating women as meat and then turn towards prostitution. I feel sad about how such a beautiful thing is turned into a monstrous tool of gender control. This discussion in itself is huge to cover just by itself and I guess I should digress it into something more focused later on. Until then be safe kids and wear a condom.

We get what We want.

JACK JOHNSON LYRICS

"Cookie Jar"

I would turn on the TV but it's so embarrassing
To see all the other people I don't know what they mean
And it was magic at first when they spoke without sound
But now this world is gonna hurt you better turn that thing down
Turn it around

"It wasn't me", says the boy with the gun
"Sure I pulled the trigger but it needed to be done
Cause life's been killing me ever since it begun
You cant blame me cause I'm too young"

"You can't blame me sure the killer was my son
But I didn't teach him to pull the trigger of the gun
It's the killing on this TV screen
You cant blame me its those images he seen"

Well "You can't blame me", says the media man
Well "I wasn't the one who came up with the plan
I just point my camera at what the people want to see
Man it's a two way mirror and you cant blame me"

"You can't blame me", says the singer of the song
Or the maker of the movie which he based his life on
"It's only entertainment and as anyone can see
The smoke machines and makeup and you cant fool me"

It was you it was me it was every man
We've all got the blood on our hands
We only receive what we demand
And if we want hell then hells what well have

And I would turn on the TV
But it's so embarrassing
To see all the other people
I don't even know what they mean
And it was magic at first
But let everyone down
And now this world is gonna hurt
You better turn it around
Turn it around

Another one from my book of poems

Suggested song "Banana Pancake" by Jack Johnson.

Take this step with me,
Hold me until we fall asleep,
Let me feel the warmth that resides,
Let me kiss your neck as you uncurl into me.

Lets make love by sprinkling kisses and hugs,
Lets close the curtains and cuddle all day
let the curtains be our shield from the world outside

Let you and me be, dace with our hearts all day,
Scratch my chest and tickle my back,
while I hit you with pillows and toss you in the blanket,
Let it be and let it flow because only then we can always be.

It is only a very few time such a good person ever comes across in the music world. For me it is Seal, a genuinely soul singer that captures all the emotions of who I am and my journeys in life. His previous albums somehow have coincidently always have come at a time when I needed them. Miraculously, this new album is a rebirth of who he is. It is his path found again from the clouded life he was walking in. So much energy, so much force, so much love.

I do not buy albums, I have only bought 2 albums in my life. The first one I ever wanted to buy was from the movie "A goofy movie" but my mom never gave me the money to buy it as a kid :(. The albums I have bought are Nas and Seal.

Seal's own personal journey's and triumph with his music and career reflect alot on my character. Minus Heidi Klum ofcourse, well one day I shall get my Heidi Klum one day as well. Until then..heck even forever, Single and Handsome is the way to be! She has also sung a song with Seal on this album called "wedding day". To my surprise she has an excellent voice and the contrast with seal's voice is just heaven for your ears.

One of the things I always love looking at is the album cover. I ripped open the package and read the album cover at the mall right away. Unlike conventional artist who give shout outs and have 100000 words with nick names, Seal has little bits of poetry. It got me choked up, I haven't been choked up in a long time, I almost forgot how that felt. Surreal.

Excerpt:

To my listeners


If you can't find your place in this world, your life's important to me. Feels like every sunday's just a day in the week. If you're lonely and you feel like reaching up might break you down, don't go under...out time is now.


No condition is permanent (aside: also one of the teachings of buddhism)

Born into dysfunction of a vicious cycle. Daydreaming to the point of realization, married with childrean, breaking one system and creating another.

-------------------

YEA SEAL, THATS MA BOY!!! NOW GET YOUR ASS TO TORONTO FOR A CONCERT GOD DAMMIT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First Snow fall

Your beauty is like the first snowflake of winter,
And when I hold you, your heart melts away,
Let our bodies come close and stop the shiver,
Start a fire, hold you and let our hearts get swept sway.
