Excellent journal prompt this week, thank you! Indeed, it was time for a dramatic change for me. Taking the space and time to sit down and right about it helped me clarify exactly what that change is and how to make it.
first and foremost have you never heard that all the women were parts of a gay man? that prognostication was around for ages. now mull it over. the pieces fit. samantha was a gay man, girls. not that women are incapable of her sexual attitudes but not unless you were a child of the woodstock era ,in my not so humble opinion.
these days i am sticking lubricating suppositories up my vagina to protect myself from sandpaper sex. mull that over too.
Well, of course... because Darren Star and Michael Patrick King were the showrunners, so it's only natural, but being in grad school in New York in the late 90s... I recall many of us held those attitudes and spoke very candidly about sex and men and what we wanted. My parents had been of the Woodstock era, so "Women Who Run With the Wolves" was required reading... Interestingly, Dr. Heather Bartos recommends Elbow Grease as the best lube for the midlife vag--and it's marketed primarily to gay men, but apparently it keeps the sandpaper at bay in post-meno vag too.
Thanks for the shout-out! My essay today was about Springsteen's "Human Touch", which, the video ALONE is a thing, but the song is downright instructional in terms of getting the hell over yourself and gettin' down to clown. SATC was adamant about centering women's pleasure, which no other cultural juggernaut has ever done. I had a Full Samantha phase in my 30s and it was great, and I learned a lot before I ever met my hubz. I hope that many, many more women can get what they want when they want it, and enjoy that experience here in midlife, too! https://www.womancake.com/p/dont-look-away
