People know your tragedies and they treat you like youโre not human. Like youโre a three-headed goat. A monster from some other planet. They keep reminding you of your pain. You see how they look at me? Theyโre stuck on that person I used to be. They canโt see that old life as just a moment in time that Iโve moved on from. It was a horrible life.
Eric Jerome DickeyPhysical attraction was about aesthetics, not sexual performance, not mental stimulation. Without a mental connection, a remarkable sexual performance yielded no lifelong guarantees. It was only lust. And lust was not love.
