But I'm convinced that a male can be excited by a contact with Maude, unconsciously, for the simple reason that she evokes Marie. It's perfectly possible, at least for a male (and no doubt for a female too), to make love with Maude while imagining vaguely that she might be Marie. I insist upon the adverb "vaguely". It's never a matter of attempting to perform some kind of replacement trick, like a stage magician, where Maude would suddenly disappear and Marie would take her place. It's infinitely more subtle than that. And it's not even as if Maude were to be considered as a rubber doll, labeled "Marie". On the contrary, Maude is truly a remarkable and unique creature, in every sense... but above all in the sense that she has the gift of recreating the presence of Marie.William Skyvingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052367756561555096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8627322010786735293.post-7712583572217967432007-12-19T21:33:00.000+01:002007-12-19T21:33:00.000+01:00It happened to me only once that my guy called me ...It happened to me only once that my guy called me with the name of her ex. It was at the start of our story. But, thinking about it later on, it was sooo painful. And sometimes, when he calls me with nicknames, I wonder if he has already done it in the past and I feel jealous of memories even knowing it's stupid..ladyluck3819https://www.blogger.com/profile/09846549491953463461noreply@blogger.com
