Another Oldie

Recently I recommended the 1990 movie "Wild Orchid" as a boost for your erotic imagination. I decided to watch "9 1/2 Weeks" - another oldie that also stars Mickey Roarke. I'd seen it once before - probably 20 years ago - but I'd forgotten most of it. This time around, it didn't do much for me. Not that it didn't contain some pretty erotic scenes, but it revolved around Mickey's need for ever-escalating sexual stimulation and control.

When sexual activity becomes compulsive and/or controlling, it is no longer joyful and life-affirming. It contaminates intimacy in a relationship and creates distance rather than closeness. You might want to check out "9 1/2 Weeks" - for some erotic imagery as well as a lesson in the dangers of compulsive sexuality.
