Non consensual consent
« on: February 02, 2008, 02:01:11 AM »
It wasn’t quite rape, but it wasn’t quite consensual. My first time.
Wasn’t painful. I was highly aroused. I wanted something
My clothes off.
Closeness.
Something.
Being close is what I wanted.
Still want.
Need.
I need to feel close to someone.
Sex has done nothing for me in these past years. I shouldn’t say… nothing.
The two guy that’ I’ve actually slept with. Cyber sex and phone sex are another thing.
The same.
It wasn’t what I’ve been told.
Learned to expect.
Wanted.
I didn’t orgasm.  I am only learning how to now.
I don’t expect to learn much.
I can fake what is expected of me. I don’t fake.
Why lie and disappoint when it is true?
The back seat of a car and never again. Ever.
I lied.
Half truth.
It happened when I thought it wouldn’t.
It will again.
Tonight? No.
His scent envelopes me and I crave his touch.
It is near darkness and I sit in the one spot of light.
I never want to again.
When I want it doesn’t…. not worth it.
I don’t know how to put this to words.
I don’t want to know. It’s not worth knowing.
But my words still try.
I break.
I shatter.
I try against my heart.
I set myself for the inevitable.
I set myself to fail.
I’ll have a child.
I’ll be broken.
Non consensual consent.









I was watching the Vagina Monologues earlier and this started itself. I dont quite know how to say what I want to say, so I dont know if I am satisfied with this. The last line kind of sums up what I wanted the beginning to be about and in a way what I want the entire piece to be about. Just wanted some feedback before I do anything else with it.
In case of rapture, can I have your car?

Beautiful..  Very honest. And I'm not sure where the anger is?  Is it hiding or is it just not there? I'd love to talk more about it. My e-mail is phrackwulf@gmail.com

I liked that, the staccato feel to the poem compliments the subject matter very well.

I've known the other side of this; I've been the one who's pushed a little and been on the other side of expressions wondering if they are real and sometimes absolutely knowing they aren't.  There's desolation at both ends believe me, catching the look that tells you someone is faking to save your feelings can bring you low.

Realising that things just didn't work that time and talking about it or (more importantly) laughing about it can feel amazing; taking the time to make it happen in another way can be one of the most fulfilling things in your relationship.

So, two words: communication and exploration.

TK, my first thought to that is that it's different between guys and girls, physically at least. but then i think about when i have been physically one way and mentally another. and that's what's hard with this. i dont know how to get that across in combination with everything else. then to make it harder, those that i usually turn to with my writing to work through stuff are too close to the topic in the sense that a) i'm dating one of them and i dont want him to over think it or b) they're friends who are so close that they'd start to feel protective and might think too hard on it.

now i'm rereading your post and wondering if what i'm saying is even relevant to what you're saying. but i think i've also been on the other side, not quite in your position, but still on the other side. adding another element to make this hard to write. i also can't explain too much cuz this can really quickly tread on tmi, even with one of my closest friends. i am adding and doing some editing, i'll see how i feel about posting it again when i've looked at it some more.
