Girl on girl

I happened across a lesbian blog today and read from start to finish, fascinated. I guess it was partly the voyeur in me, particularly as there was nothing held back (quite the contrary), and, as every boy knows, there is something particularly sensual about girl on girl sex. But if that was all there was to it then I wouldn't be writing about it now, and I'd have quickly clicked on another link.

What fascinated me most was the lesbian sexual politics/sociology. God knows I'm a straight hetero, but I'm curious in most things and open minded about most. I live within certain boundaries, not necessarily by choice (I'm always looking to push them), but because the people I work with and play with also live within the same (or more constrictive) boundaries. Rarely is there the opportunity to view or to delve into the shadowed areas beyond the boundary.

Reading this I felt like I had a grandstand view of the other side. It may not be typical, but it was different enough for me to wonder what commonly happens where I don't see.

It had me pondering. It was well written, confessional almost, and it occurred to me that often people who are at the extremes of society - rightly or wrongly - are more articulate and more perceptive of all around them because their position has forced them to question and to wonder: the true believer has blind faith, but the atheist has come to his perch through analysis and reflection. The boundaries I wrote of earlier also act as boundaries to thought and expression - which is why so many damned stupid things happen in the world today, and why so much is so ridiculously disappointing.

I'll bookmark the site, and return to it again. I skipped right from hers to another just like it.

I reckon I'll write about this again. I wish I knew some lesbians to talk to about this.
