Laughing Medusas

When I write, it's everything that we don't know we can be that is written out of me, without exclusions, without stipulation, and everything we will be calls us to the unflagging, intoxicating, unappeasable search for love. In one another we will never be lacking. ~Helene Cixous "The Laugh of the Medusa"

Why We Had Sex 

I called you because I needed to be held. I asked if that would be okay, if we could just leave it at that – you holding me. I was slightly surprised that you didn’t hesitate to say “Of course.”

So I found my way back to your familiar arms, hoping to find security there. You pulled me close and kissed my hair before whispering “It will be okay, maybe not perfect, but it will be okay.” Only adding “I love you” after a slight pause. I could only nod, so you wouldn’t know I was crying.

I heard your breath quicken. I felt your breasts press into my back with each inhalation. I felt you pull me closer to you. In that moment, I almost left. I almost accused you of not being able to be intimate without sex. I almost failed to realize the truth.

The truth is, you were holding me, just like I asked. You were giving me everything I needed, in spite of your desires. And in that moment I wanted nothing more than to fulfill your desires as willingly as you have always fulfilled my needs.
