“When you’ve lost all your play, guess what love becomes. Work. Work that gets harder every hour.” — Martin Amis, House of MeetingsWhat we do is play. We call it a lifestyle, but our FLR lifestyle necessarily consists of hundreds of times more playing than average couples experience. If we did not do this on purpose, if this were not fun, if this were not heartbreakingly loving, we could not, would not do it. We would be simply more faceless people in the mass of faceless people that cover the earth. By playing the way we do, we are more present in our lives and the lives of our lovers. We pay attention. We play.

And it keeps you on your toes, too! Thanks for commenting. It helps to know that someone out there gets it!
DeleteI always refer to our intimate times as "play". I'll say, "Suzy, can we play tonight?" First, we don't have actual intercourse that much, so saying, can we have sex doesn't seem all that reflective of what will happen. Second, it emphasizes that the session is for fun and exploration. It feels more like adult play time. We find new sensations that are enjoyable to each other.
ReplyDeleteYes yes yes yes! Exactly! I was looking for that thought but it was burried too deeply in my brain and I am so glad I came here to find it! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to help. I was talking to someone the other day who said that we adults are through playing. I certainly hope not!
