Jealousy did not make it as one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Perhaps it's included under Lust or Envy? [I think wrath is the only one of the seven that I have violated - all too frequently desiring to smite some folks. Lots of folks need great vengeance rained down on them with furious rebuke.]
You have all seen a woman get jealous of "her" man looking at another woman. Just looking, mind you. I hope that is not "your" woman. [Men can be just as jealous]
I would not have a relationship with a woman who is so insecure.
If Bacall sees a woman she thinks would interest me, she draws my attention to her.
I am a damn poor judge of what makes a man look interesting to women, so I can not reciprocate. If I ask Bacall, "What about him"? Her response is usually non-comital.
We were parked in our RV in a remote area. Another RV parked close by. We were lounging inside and reading. Bacall kept calling my name and pointing at the other RV. I saw nothing of interest until I sat up and there was a most attractive woman sunbathing on the roof of her RV - naked.
We have skinny-dipped with people we know and total strangers
That's the way we roll.
I guess that's why it was no big deal for us to be naked with another man or woman behind closed doors at spanking parties. We never asked the other what happened behind those Green Doors. It was of no interest.
I think I may have shared this before. At a party, she was being flogged bare-breasted in front of the rest of the group. Every so often, her eyes would light up like a quasar. I could not imagine why. After a while, her friend Bill sat next to me and shared that he had put a vibrator on her, and the remote control was in his coat pocket.
I suppose most would brand us as sunken and depraved.
Jealousy and insecurity certainly go hand in hand, but I think insecurity manifests in many ways.
ReplyDeleteIf one was seeking honesty, I must have broken them all to some degree. But if jealousy was to be considered separate to envy, then never. From an early age it dawned on me, that jealousy is a entirely pointless emotion. Most of the 7 deadly sins involve some personal pleasure, but not jealousy since it is an entirely negative emotion. No, I will stick to the pleasurable sins.
ReplyDeleteYou and me.
DeleteA twist on the concept of skinny dipping. We have stayed at a hotel near Avignon in the South of France. There is a a secluded pool area, away from the main buildings. On our first visit, as was to be expected the women and girls around the pool were either in bikinis or topless. However whenever they wanted a dip in the pool, most of them removed their costumes and swam naked. Out of the pool they showered, dried off and replaced the bikini. Not being able to fathom the reason for this strange, if delightful ritual, I consulted my wife as to the reason, the answer to which was simplicity itself. My wife pointed out that swimwear from the fashion houses of France (Dior, Chanel, et Al) are made from fabrics which cannot be allowed to get wet! The garments may have looked gorgeous but were wholly impractical. Given the French approach to nakedness it all seemed perfectly reasonable.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. They bake poolside in their bikinis, never seeing the water. In our skinny dipping, we usually had on clothes, which came off immediately.
