In Search of Meaning

Sex and the question of uncosciousness

With the house full of teenagers you have issues regarding sex floating around in the air all the time, and so memories tend to arise in us who have been walking this planet for some time already.

I remember that I was extremely interested in sex from my early teenage years on and was getting ready, for many years, for the big occasion of the first time. I had so many fantasies with regard to that, imagining what would be the perfect way to do it. One of my favourite was that my father would, somehow, get this brilliant idea to buy me a high class prostitute for one night, as a birthday gift. Well, he never got this telepathic message, despite my intense transmitting.

And I was, of course, full of dreadful fears too, worrying about all the ways in which things might have gone astray: “Will I know how to do it? Where to put it? Will I find all the things I was supposed to find?” Many dilemmas indeed.

Anyway, putting my desires and fears together, my conclusion was that the perfect sparring partner for my first sexual intercourse would have been a beautiful and unconscious woman. Willingly unconscious, to be precise; I wouldn’t want to do anything violent. But the thing was that I thought that if she was unconscious:

  • I would have all the time in the world to explore her body and get familiar with all the crucial parts
  • I would be able to try out, in peace, various positions and see if I got everything right, do the test drive in a way
  • I would be completely safe from the horrible possibility of being laughed at, ridiculed, coursed, yelled at, blamed… (I had many possible disastrous scenarios in my mind, you see)

So, about 15 years ago I was, in a personal growth workshop, sharing with the group these fears I have had as a young adolescent about the first sexual experience and the idea that, at that time, the best possible partner seemed to be an unconscious woman. Upon hearing me saying that, a woman in the circle started to laugh, saying: “I cannot believe what I am hearing. You know, at that age my wish was to be unconscious while having the first sexual intercourse. We would have been a perfect couple for mutual loss of virginity!”

;-)

Yes, being an adolescent is heavy, really heavy.

And, with my first sexual experience, a million years ago, the girl I was with was very experienced and very far from being unconscious.

And I survived. Barely.

  4. UTP – Thanks. But this is what I write this blog for: not to try to be smart, but to open up and see what comes out.

    Amber – let’s put it this way – during that night the place found me, but then in the morning I was able to find it myself too. ;-)

    Ian – Good Lord, never thought of that. Now I am in trouble. First thing I’ll do is to start listening to the telepathic messages really closely. :-D

  5. I could not have read a better post here. I’ve had a long long week buried in work and other things that needed tending to and I am tired. I need sleep, or time off from work, or the rest of my life “off” for that matter. Or all three. :) :)

    Anyway I came here and read this post and laughed out LOUD!! I felt silly and goofy reading it — a bit how I imagine you felt writing it….and that felt really good. Like I needed something light and fun and very very human. This post is exactly that.

    I love the reasons for the “unconscious” woman, but as I thought about it, you could have had either an unconscious woman or a very patient and loving woman…wait let me go reread the criteria….LOL LOL…hold on…..

    Okay, I just reread it and if you really look at the three criteria they are the criteria of a very LOVING woman, a compassionate woman, a considerate woman…SO in light of that I prefer to think that what you needed was a Loving woman. Yup! Because I believe those three criteria are what make up a truly loving and considerate lover…male or female.

    So there you go…my little contribution to this delightful post!!!
    :) LOL

  7. Robin, there’s a huge difference between what I needed and between what I thought would be perfect for me in order to not experience what I was fearing. But sure, a loving woman. Since I thought there were none around, I thought an unconscious one would be the second best option. You know, an unconscious one does not have to be loving and compassionate. As long as she remains unconscious.
    And I have already answered Amber. Darn, girls, are you pushy…
