This entry is where my entry this morning/afternoon was suppose to go.  Unfortunately, I was not lubricated enough to discuss pleasure this morning.  I am now downing my third beer and am getting much happier and a bit more risqué in my thinking/writing.

After reading “Men’s Junk” at Momalom.com, I got to thinking about pleasure, about why we want it and why we avoid it.  I know an entry about penises got me thinking like that.  So, let’s think about that.

Pleasure, especially sexual pleasure, is something that we should all enjoy.  While we may want to wait until we are married or in a committed relationship, we should all look for pleasure in our lives.  Whether the pleasure comes from sex or from talking or from intellectual pursuits, we need it in our lives.

Yet, so many of us let pleasure have a back seat.  We do not think it is necessary.  Let’s take pleasure in the form or intellectual pursuits as an example.  If we derive pleasure in this way, why would we not continually pursue education?  Why would we not think that life long learning is a necessity?
If we look at it, as the author of “Men’s Junk” did, from a sexual angle, just think of those of us who do not like sex.  Sometimes there are psychological reasons for this that are totally understandable.  My guess is that there are equally as many people who do not enjoy sex for other reasons:  their parents made them think it was dirty; they can only think of their penis or vagina in terms of functionality, not sexual pleasure; or other reasons.

I want to focus in on why we deny ourselves and our significant others sexual pleasure.  Do we all really believe that sex is dirty?  Come on!  You may need a shower afterwards but not because you are dirty but because you are so damn hot.  Sexual needs are real and need to be satisfied.

To that end, how can anyone believe that their significant other’s sexual organ – whether a penis or a vagina – is not to be touched, is not to be enjoyed by both parties?  There is no reason to deny pleasure to your partner.  Trust me, in the end, your partner will reward you with pleasure in return.
