Wanky post ahoy. Kerry's recent letter was all about having sex. What struck me was the way the phrase was just tossed off (cheers) here and there in the most matter-of-fact way, whether it was talking about Beanz fantasies or exes or one night stands. It's probably just a language thing, me being oversensitive while Kerry was just being stream-of-consciousness literal, but it's still something that made me think Which is a rarity. Sex with people you care about is better than sex with people you don't. Even if the act of coition isn't as impressive, it's always going to be on a different level that makes it that much more satisfying. Well that's what I think anyway, but I may be being a hopeless romantic. Which is quite a nice way to be. I also find the expression "having sex" sounds faintly unpleasant because of the connotation I lumber it with that it's a 100% physical, 0% emotional act. Coming from someone who can argue for hours about how words shouldn't be given any status they don't merit (cunt being the obvious example), that sounds silly. I'd rather use the word fuck to describe the act if it were with someone I love, as to me it seems at least passionate, and has a sense of depth about it. But that's just me. I must admit, though, that discovering saying "You're totally hot. I've considered having sex with you a few times" actually *works* has radically changed my view of pick-up lines :-) Finally, an apology. Tim has made me realise that my "biting satire" wasn't really very funny. It wasn't entirely satire either. I'm sorry to be offensive, even if I was trying to be funny (a bit) and wasn't really serious (though I was, a bit). I suppose I am a snob. 14 years of public school education is bound to leave some kind of stain... Told you it was wanky. Love Mark (who is now hoping to NYC *and* Toronto some time next year...) xxx ******************************************************************* The contents of this e mail from HIT Entertainment PLC are confidential and intended for the addressee only.
