i have come
to the conclusion
that a question
needs to be asked
and perhaps
answered-

what's wrong
with having sex
purely
for the sake
of having sex?

no longer
something enjoyable
sex has become
a bargaining chip
a way to cage someone
into commitment
a way to possess someone
make them yours

and yet
even within this
it doesn't make
these people
happy
they are always worried
that their lover
desires another
always wondering
if the hand
that finds its way
into their pants
has touched
many others
before them

i cannot understand
this mental bondage
this
tyranny
of lust


my desires
are fulfilled
and i am joyous
i am satisfied

not everyone
has a need
for connection
for love
when they have
lust in their hearts

i feel
a sudden heartbeat
and i revel
in the idea
i may never see this boy
that girl
again

for this one night
they are mine
our blood sings
with passion
and i am free
to enjoy
all
their body has to offer

one night stands
are delicious
when you don't trip
over what someone will think
if you'll regret it
or labels
like "whore"

i also
throughly enjoy
the merging
between a lover's heart
and mine
that connection
the deepening
of loveflame

yet
i am committed
with hands open
i do not
own
i savor
desire
and enjoy

yes
this does involve
honesty
it involves
more trust
than screwing one person

in a world of disease
and pregnancy
my lust
is checked
by my caution

it can be complex
to have multiple lovers

but wait-
this leads me to wonder

if you are honest
with yourself
and your lover

truly honest

then what does it matter
if you have just one
or several?

your loved ones
know
they are loved
they are special

the ones you just fuck
know that
and are perfectly ok with that

i find
within being
an ethical slut
i am free
to explore
every
possibility

oh how wonderful it is

even if
i get a bit
sore
