It had me thinking uncouth? thoughts. For sure it was a sexually stimulatig film but the extent to which the makers decided to push it is astounding to me. It had me thinking about knowing where to draw the line in cases of severe infatuation and/or sexually charged relationships/affairs. As a person who wants to explore her sexuality to its deepest end, but is also a little emotionally avoidant and is easily weirded out by intimacy, films such as ITRTS make me feel like there is some level of compulsion or obsessiveness? that I haven't quite felt with the men I've been with. In my head I be having the filthiest thoughts but rarely does it translate to the bedroom.

What do you mean by your “where to draw the line” sentence?

@BEE1000 The infatuation. The craze of desire. The addictive and perhaps even possessive side of it (as seen in the film). Whatever their motives were (we don't really know much about them tbh so it's hard to say), the charachters fully submitted to the passion of their relationship. At least that's how I understood it. Me being an overthinker and rather timid, I wondered how "drunk" I'm willing to get, how far I'm able to take things. And I'm not necessarily talking about what might be healthy or moral or whatever. Just the hedonistic/sensual aspect of it. Does that make sense?

@FREELOADERHASSU I think I get it. I do think it’s a kind of compulsion where my body is the one in charge rather than my mind. Like once a partner told me the day after that she had bruises. She was happy about that, but I wasa little uncomfortable because I didn’t knowI’d gotten that rough. It doesn’t happen often for me, and I’m timid, too. My default is to go where my partner leads to an extant. Anyway, if you’re imagining this line, what is on the other side of it?

Very surreal viewing experience with myself and one dude being the only solitary perverts in our small theater packed to the gills with people—couples, pairs of women, and a front row of college aged girls having a ladies’ night. They were talking so loudly that people had to yell at them to shut up. (After the movie I heard one of them say “I think it was straight middle aged freaky not actually freaky. She’s a straight middle aged woman in power who wants to be dominated by the man and that’s the only thing. And she was a terrible person the entire time!”) I was blushing furiously the whole time and shrinking into my seat and my jaw definitely dropped multiple times. Very cerebral and psychosexually loaded movie that deals primarily in restraint to explore control vs vulnerability…

Was watching this at midnight. Definition of out of control but made me feel so seen, which might say something about me. I'm a full-on John Waters evangelist for 2025.

It's so crazy of me to even consider this as I haven't worked a single paying job in a year. I had a breakdown of sorts which led to me quitting school and stopping work. My parents were super supportive but perhaps not anymore. I want to move out now and have my own space. I don't want to wait for my life to "get in line" for me to try stuff and do things. Like moving out! But everything is so expensive in Addis and I would need at least about 5 months worth of monthly salaries to even consider moving out.
I saw a series on tt that goes "Things that make me want to be healthy that have nothing to do with men or wanting to be beautiful". It's one of the most relevant and beautiful things the algorithm has blessed me with recently. I've been thinking about starting a light weight loss fitness journey but I couldn't find it in me to go through with it because a) working out sucks, and b) I don't even know WHY I want to do it. I don't want to feed old attitudes and mentalities that motivated me to be "healthier" in a way when I was younger but absolutely butchered my relationship with my body. *Shrugging girl emoji

I recently switched over to a Nokia 2780 and I feel better but I crave the scroll! I am trying to remain strong and believe that this will be good for me. So far I have found benefitted from reading way more (read the entirety of Eve Babitz Sex and Rage on Sunday), being far less anxious about the state of the world, and listening to the albums I own and remembering songs that mean so much to me. But I am in a moment of weakness. A moment of doubt. Help. Tell me it will be worth it.
