The invisible blood
Like when floodgates open
Rushes swiftly;
Directly
Without delay
Bringing pulsing warmth
And joyous feeling
As both excitement
And pleasure
Fill my heart

“Most of the time we’ve done it or do it, it’s for pleasure, honey.” He looked a combination of fascinated and chagrined. “You know you were no accident. Before that, I went off birth control to get pregnant, and we were so happy when you came into our lives.”. . .
. . . He hemmed and hawed next, and I got the sense he wanted to know what I meant when I said it feels good. I asked him if he had that question. He said yes. So I said it was kind of like having someone scratch your back in a place that itched, and having them scratch it just right. I said that, after puberty, he’d know what the special itch felt like. He nodded. . .

Should the lyrics to David Byrne's song "Heaven" be anywhere close to being true, I for one do not intend to participate. Not that I don't have every intention of serving my fellow man during my time on the proverbial mortal coil.
