The Culture that has been here all the time

Hey all, I will be here, but I am adjusting to a new level of care for my wife. I hope to have help soon.

A few weeks ago, I began working on writing ideas and started a journal. The time I will spend online posting and shopping for our needs must be used wisely.

In my writing journal, I have many memoir notes and vignettes, and I will keep making entries therein. I have found an idea for a large project in the present milieu. This is good for my mind, as research and creativity have been a big part of my life.

My only regret? I will miss the intimacy of a living woman with a keen mind to share with and encourage me. My love to her wherever she is and whomever she may be; she is my fantasy of a muse and lover I suppose. I had numerous women to discuss my ideas and collaborate with, but only one lover who was my muse -- monogamous and exclusive.

When I was overseas, I wrote home to my family and my sweetheart. When I studied creative writing, one form of writing was letter writing. Now I can use this technique to write blog posts. This is my first attempt at this form of writing.

Dearest Jen,

Here on Mars it is like living in a permanent twighlight. Getting used to the way the sun looks here takes some getting used to. Yess even here along the Martian equator it is dim and the warmest it ever gets is about 27 degrees C. I can go for a walk in my special protective suit but even when the wind blows I see the dust but can't feel the wind unless I step inside a Martian Dust Devil and it nudges my protective jump suit. When the wind stops it is my job wipe the dust off the dwelling windows and solar panels. Even in this low gravity environment I get tired so I go inside, change and shower and select a MRE (meal ready to eat) prepare it with water and heat it with a microwave and disintegrate the package and left overs. It is obvious we recycle as much of our waste as posibble and much of it especially the fluids are sent to the green houses where we hope some of the MRE foods can be locally produced.

I don't like the News I see from Earth so many of the old tensions and conflicts continue. Here on this planet everyone is vital for our survival. Work for that purpose can not suffer because of petty human bickering or other negative behaviour.

Well Seetheart I think I will call it a day and lie down on my cot for the night. Strange the Marian day is so close to a day on Earth I never experience anything like Jet lag adjusting to local time.

I miss laying with you nude body close to mine warm and sweet. Kissing every inch of you as we made love until we became so tired we both fell asleep in each other's arems.

Sending You All My Love  At Light Speed

Throughout history, you most likely know that giving gifts is the usual tradition. King, Queen, Chief, Leader, and so on. When they receive visitors, the visitors always seem to bring them a gift. Sometimes the recipients return the favor, especially when the visitors depart.

When we visit friends, we bring gifts; when friends or family move into a new place, we bring a "House Warming Gift".

During some special events, gifts are given to the participants.

The photo below is from Cecil B. DeMille's 1956 “The Ten Commandments,” during the scene where Pharaoh receives many gifts and offerings.

Maybe if I do not get a romantic woman slave, I can be a slave for a mistress?

Or maybe an older adopted dog is suitable for an old man as a pet?

Some days are more of a challenge than others, and this is a day I find it difficult to focus on just about everything. It would be different if I could feel the arms of an understanding woman around me. It may not change reality, but it may make living in this reality a little more bearable.

to getting a woman to help me in general, and be a kinky playmate? I will offer a room and board to a kinky lover if she is willing to be my friend with benefits. My wife is fading more each day, and what was maddening two years ago now is unbearable. I am not cut out to be a lover without a partner. Imagine yourself without an intimate relationship, knowing full well you are not created to be a loner. I keep attempting to adopt a misanthropic personality, but it only makes me feel worse. Even a person with a sweet tooth has limits when staring into a bakery or candy shop.

My apologies, some days are more challenging than others. images pixabay

The end of engaging in sex and enjoying it. My wife has been asexual for several years now, but in the last two weeks her illness has gotten worse. My caregiving is a great challenge. My search for some form of assistance with the help of social workers and doctors has stepped up to the max.

I feel numb from the top of my head to the bottom of my feet. Even patting my pets offers me limited comfort. I have blogged before when I was in the dark hours, but this time I sense a difference. I sent out an S.O.S to my family and received no response (save one that I am not the only one in the family with this sort of problem).

A couple of scammers who I still get emails from (no, I don't give them money) tell me things will get better (they have been saying that for almost three years). How?

This is a blog on a BDSM website where I have always been able to speak my mind about the sexual implications. I always had a hope "sexual healing" was real, and I would find a lover who was able to heal me: NO. I think it is a myth, like so many other myths.

This time heading for 78 years old in July and beat up, moving my wife around in bed and in and out of a wheelchair, I believe I have run out of energy and optimism - I am a statue made of stone.

Yes, I have experienced several seemingly love at first sight events in my life, but the relationships that worked best? 

The relationships that worked best fall into two categories for me: Case 1. The woman who began as an acquaintance and gradually became a friend, then a lover; Case 2. A woman I didn't like morphed into the situation described above in case 1.

Meeting is another matter. The wondrous romantic experiences I had were great, but the relationship that lasted the longest and produced the best result was almost like an arranged marriage. The arrangement was chance, I suppose: a man and a woman who each experienced romantic hardship with two children each formed a new family of six, and despite challenges, they made it work for the benefit of all.

I have discovered this was a common situation throughout human history, mostly in war-torn communities. The number of historical armed conflicts that  affected  Europe alone is a daunting number to tabulate, see:

If you consider all the variations in the way humans look, you may assume their feelings are all different. This may be true in aspects such as culture, nationality even education, but there is one set of basic feelings that will be the same: emotions.

Google AI Overview
The seven widely recognized universal emotions, each associated with distinct facial expressions, are: happiness, surprise, sadness, fright (fear), disgust, contempt, and anger. While some studies identify six basic emotions, like Dr. Paul Ekman's research, the inclusion of contempt expands the list to seven. 

Think of it this way, fill various vessels with water, the vessels all look different but they all contain the same water.

Put any two people together, and they will either repel or attract like two magnets. If the magnets repel, switching the poles causes them to attract.

When two people overlook imperfections and choose to accept each other, just like the magnets above. This is not a compromise or settling for it is a conscious action that forms a solid basis for a lasting relationship.

The cliche that none of us is perfect is valid. The reality? We transform into two beings that accept, modify willingly, and go forward, creating a new life based on who each person is.

This is the path to true happiness.
