My thoughts and visions of everyday life.

I think the reason why I missed you so much wasn’t because I truly feel like I need you.
But because when the sun is gone and the rain falls down it reminds me of you.
“ And most importantly, with regard to any and all activities, if it doesn’t taste delicious, don’t swallow. ”
Barb Stuckey, “Why Eating Should Be More Like Sex.” (Huffington Post)
And our second-favorite quote from the article:
Sex is, of course, a tactile experience. Yet our enjoyment of it comes from the combination of visual, sound, smell and taste inputs. If you have trouble imagining how our eyes impact our sensuality, all you have to do is consider that porn accounts for 30% of all internet traffic. We use visual images to stimulate ourselves. Having sex in the dark employs only 80% of our sensory apparatus. Maybe that’s why my earliest experiences were so unsatisfying.
We similarly stimulate ourselves with food. After watching a gorgeous, natural light-kissed cookbook video eight times in one day, I realized my behavior was veering dangerously close to a food porn addiction. You cookbook readers out there hanging your heads in shame know exactly what I’m talking about. Yet we also cheat ourselves with food. We eat while watching TV, which is somewhat worse than eating in the dark (which I’ve done and write about in my book) because it occupies the brain as well as the eyes. True food appreciation requires undistracted use of the brain in addition to all five of the senses.
Tuesday resolution: Lights on for sex, TV off for meals. Advice to live by.
