Hooking Up

There's something positive to be said of both courtship and hooking up.

There's something 'positive' to say for anything about which there is something 'negative' spoken.
One of the implications in my post was that someday, someone will nostalgically recall the 'good old days' of simply 'hookin' up!
I think that it's the mid to latter teen years that seem to have the most influence on memory; our tastes in music, for example, or a 'particular' hiegene habit...
Those seen to be, predominately, the 'good ol' days'.
Actually, this is a pretty good old day right now!
Peace

Hi Nameless.
Do ya think that there are some things that are still worth waiting for?

The thing with sex is that you usually just don't know when you're going to get it. To wait because of some principle about things being worth waiting for, might keep you blueballed until you're 50.

Isn't that something found in the eye of the beholder?
Or, is that a 'personal' question?
'Waiting' is a part of human life. The 'values' that one attaches to this or that is a 'personal' call, no? I find it a fruitless game. What is, is, always. However the moment is perceived is what is. Some moments are more pleasant than others, but if we strain too much trying to peer around the corner in anticipation of what is essentially a 'hope' or vain fantasy, we might just miss what this moment is presenting.

Cannot we only determine what was 'worth waiting for' after we finally experience it? I'm sure that there is much that was deemed not worth waiting for, yet wait we do...

Guess I'll find me a bucket to jump off of.

By the way, I wasn't necessarily talking about sex. I'm not sure you're hearing where I am coming from Aedes.

i know i'm not sure what you are talking about!
:detective:but let me try and guess:
relationship with meaning-companionship, compatibility and affinity to the mind and body of a significant other, including (but not limited to) romance when it is defined as 'that aspect of life which transcends the practical everyday provisions for sustenance by reaching for the sublime'...

if that's not what you are talking about, it must be what i am thinking about. over here we tie one end of our scarves around our neck and the other to the ceiling fan before we jump off the bucket...

Lol. The bucket quote was from my uncle and will remain a mystery.

No, what i was trying to get at was oneness. Intimacy is a large part of that oneness but, isn't the whole of it. There are many parts to the whole of it. Waiting for the wholeness of oneness. Courtship leads to that sometimes. The phrase, "hooking up", doesn't seem to be compatible with the meaning of the matter to me. Just my opinion.

i kind of liked the twoness...oneness is the reality behind the scenes, it is the twoness that makes life interesting. to me, anyway.

Twoness can be oneness. If you get my drift.
