I realize that it's not my duty to tell you what's right or wrong, or even to demand that your book reads like mine.
Fortunately, this investigation has led me through many thinkers, psychologists/psychiatrists, lay people, and at last the greatest achievement has come in the form of 'post Freudian' understanding of myself and of humanity in general.
This has helped me resolve an issues that has plagued me all my life. Guilt about my sexuality has diminished greatly, and perhaps my prowess as a lover increased in ways I couldn't imagine before.
Isn't that a fitting close to such a demanding investigation? I think it is!
Jambo Tycho and happy new year.
I was hopping we had left this stuff back in 2016, but it seems I was off by quite a bit.
You are right, my book rarely ever reads like your book and nor should it. But how many books have you found that carry the same take on sex as mine?
Freud is old hat and I would strongly urge you not to buy that 'sex as guilty' stuff. It is a con; the most common tool of mass manipulation after religion. One that has been applied with specially devastating impact the female half of the worlds population.
Tell me Tycho, what is it about sex that scares the elite of our society (mostly male) so much that they have to invent such diabolical controls as FGM, witch burning and generally female suppression across the board? My theory is that the transdimensional bridging effect of sexual contact potentially offers the masses access to certain knowledge and effects that our 'leaders' would prefer remain hidden.
But that is my book as you have said. All the same enjoy your newly found, er...prowess between the sheets. More power to you.
