a sad
affair [1]
of passion (not control)
of intermittent pleasure
of never getting old
of course (we shouldn’t do this)
of not the truth, but dare
of nothing close to prudish
of ending sad:
affair
________________________
anna fair understands affairs. s/he embraces them, s/he doesn’t tell her
partner about them, and s/he loves every passionately-uncontrollable taboo. in fact, that’s my new (more positive) term
for an affair: a passionately uncontrollable taboo (p.u.t.).
forget the fact that man-made rules of promising fidelity are ridiculously restrictive. the only
reason that anna’s affair was sad… is
because it ended.

- an “affair” (also known as “cheating” or “infidelity”) is often framed in a negative light.
- but think about it: if you really, really loved someone… wouldn’t you want him/her to live-out his/her fantasy every now and again? conversely, if you don’t want your partner to experience his/her best life-time on planet earth, then look in the mirror – because your own controlling mindset stems from fear, not love.
- the really cool/fun/energizing/titillating things about affairs are the taboo:
- the secret meetings,
- doing things you’d never dreamed of,
- the intermittency,
- the time-bound urgency,
- the passionately uncontrollable desires…
- it is easy to understand that the taboo is what makes the affair fantastic!
- what’s the excitement in “swinging” (for example), when it’s all agreed-upon and in the open? at that point, it would just be another physical experience.
- an affair, however, embraces the dark side, the inner-seductress & the don juan-esque thrill.

*sidenote: expect the self-righteous to criticize this theom (and claim "heresy!")... all the while, in the secrecy of their own minds, knowing that they (too) want to (occasionally) dance on the dark side.
