After sex, men fear too much intimacy; they want to separate again. women want to talk, to continue the merging, melting fusion into one. postcoital conversations keep the woman's power alive. through unconscious severance, by falling asleep, the man regains his self.

After Sex, Men Fear Too Much Intimacy;

Nancy Friday
After sex, men fear too much intimacy; they want to separate again. women want to talk, to continue the merging, melting fusion into one. postcoital conversations keep the woman's power alive. through unconscious severance, by falling asleep, the man regains his self.

More From Nancy Friday

The leaves are falling, falling as from way off, as though far gardens withered in the skies; they are falling with denying gestures. and in the nights the heavy earth is falling from all the stars down into loneliness. we all are falling. this hand falls. and look at others: it is in them all. and yet there is one who holds this falling endlessly gently in his hands.
Stars Loneliness Fall
From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
We fear the past, present and future. we fear the unknown, we fear not having enough, losing what we have, not having what we want. we fear what will become of us and those that we care for. we fear what others think of us and what they don't think of us. we fear, fear, fear and therefore we are controllable through the manipulation of all that we fear. the present war on terror is the war of fear. no fear, no control.
War Thinking Past
We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

Consciousness-raising is at the very least supposed to bring about an intimacy, but what it seems instead to bring about are the trappings of intimacy, the illusion of intimacy, a semblance of intimacy.
Feminism Consciousness Illusion
The term "self" seems a suitable one for the unconscious substrate whose actual exponent in consciousness is the ego. the ego stands to the self as the moved to the mover, or as object to subject, because the determining factors that radiate outward from the self surround the ego on all sides and are therefore supraordinate to it. the self, like the unconscious, as an a priori existent out of which the ego evolves. it is, so to speak, an unconscious prefiguration of the ego. it is not i who create myself; rather, i happen to myself.

Similar Quotes
It's not demons (who at least have a human face) but hell itself that seems to be laughing inside me, it's the croaking madness of the dead universe, the spinning cadaver of physical space, the end of all worlds blowing blackly in the wind, formless and timeless, without a god who created it, without even its own self, impossibly whirling in the absolute darkness as the one and only reality, everything.
Reality Self Wind
If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. things that are not to happen will not happen. the shakti that is in the world, is only one. all these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.
Thinking Self World
Political activism is seductive because it seems to offer the possibility that one can improve society, make things better, without going through the personal ordeal of rearranging one's perceptions and transforming one's self.
