Margit’s Note: Eat Crave Love

By Margit Detweiler

I want to be as spectacular as a Dahlia. I want that dulce de leche donut from Donut Plant. I want you. Desperately.

Oh, Desire. Juicy, berry-stained lipped desire —  eating and tasting before you actually eat and taste. You imagine the pleasure.

Desire requires just enough belief that the thing you want is unattainable. Desire is over there. You can barely grasp it. It’s so slippery and wet, it squeezes out between your fingers. You’re afraid you will lose it before you even have it.

Sometimes you have to walk away. Shut the door. A thousand times no. But the desire stays, a burning ember deep in the back of your mind.

So this week, we go spelunking:

• Stacy Morrison proudly claims her own sexual desires.
• Ashley C. Ford wants her 20s to have the confidence of her 40s.
• Alexandra Jamieson explores the intermingling of food and sex.
• Diane di Costanzo .
• Judy McGuire writes about life as a sex columnist.
• Heather Barmore has a new relationship with butter.

• Elegantly quiet social network Ello goes Adult, with their NSFW week in March, prompted by Google’s decision to ban NSFW content from Blogger. To be viewed at home! [Ello]
• Burlesque dancer Ruby Rage fired for being too voluptuous. Do all men desire the same kind of womanly shape? (That was a rhetorical question) [The Guardian]
• How do you experience desire? Is it in response to, or in anticipation of, erotic stimulation? Why is one way considered a “disease?” [NYTimes]
• It’s happened. There’s now a selfie-stick for your lady bits. Do you really want your vagina to say cheese? #yeastinfection [Wifey.tv]

See ya hot stuff,
