power over one's recipient."

~

"Is that your interpretation, Professor?"

~

"No. Methinks Oscar was in his cups when he reportedly said it, thinking it 

an amusing turn of phrase, nothing more."

~

"I think it means we're all preoccupied with sex, fantasizing, testing our appeal, or flaunting it, and that when we're actually in the fevered throes, at the point of orgasmic climax, all of that is moot."

~

" ...A ...A textbook case of Anticipation being the thing ...not the thing being the thing, huh?"

I'm not even going to try to better my reviewing predecessor Soren's response since they have more than adequately served me a dubble whammy by stealing my thunder and removing the lead from my pencil ..
I will award you top marks tho' .. Neville

Anticipation is often far better than the real thing. It lasts longer and the mind reaches to heights that reality can never attain. Mental masturbation is so satisfying.
