Sex Reality Perfect

More From Erica Jong

The western approach to reality is mostly through theory, and theory begins by denying reality - to talk about reality, to go around reality, to catch anything that attracts our sense-intellect and abstract it away from reality itself. thus philosophy begins by saying that the outside world is not a basic fact, that its existence can be doubted and that every proposition in which the reality of the outside world is affirmed is not an evident proposition but one that needs to be divided, dissected and analyzed. it is to stand consciously aside and try to square a circle.
Philosophy Reality Squares
I think i'm doing a service to black women by portraying myself as a sex machine. i mean, what's wrong with being a sex machine, darling? sex is large, sex is life, sex is as large as life, so it appeals to anyone that's living, or rather it should.
Sex Mean Thinking
Free will appears unfettered, deliberate; it is boundlessly free, wandering, the spirit. but fate is a necessity; unless we believe that world history is a dream-error, the unspeakable sorrows of mankind fantasies, and that we ourselves are but the toys of our fantasies. fate is the boundless force of opposition against free will. free will without fate is just as unthinkable as spirit without reality, good without evil. only antithesis creates the quality.
Dream Believe Fate
Nothing goes on forever. i think that's one of the illusions of life. when i talk about my life being an extension of my dreams and fantasies, there's a tendency to think of them as immature. i live in a mature world. the majority of the people in this society live with delusions and illusions much more irrational and hurtful than mine. they deal with mortality, with fantasies relating to heaven and hell, and they don't really deal with their problems at all.

Even in the era of aids, sex raises no unique moral issues at all. decisions about sex may involve considerations about honesty, concern for others, prudence, and so on, but there is nothing special about sex in this respect, for the same could be said of decisions about driving a car. (in fact, the moral issues raised by driving a car, both from an environmental and from a safety point of view, are much more serious than those raised by sex.)
Sex Honesty Unique
Reality became for me a problem after my experience with lsd. before, i had believed there was only one reality, the reality of everyday life. just one true reality and the rest was imagination and was not real. but under the influence of lsd, i entered into realities which were as real and even more real than the one of everyday. and i thought about the nature of reality and i got some deeper insights.

I ... had what kierkegaard called 'the sickness of infinitude,' wandering from one path to another with no real recognition that i was embarked upon a search, and scarcely a clue as to what i might be after. i only knew that at the bottom of each breath there was a hollow place that needed to be filled.

Knowing a great deal about what is in the world art, catastrophe, the beauties of nature through photographic images, people are frequently disappointed, surprised, unmoved when the see the real thing. for photographic images tend to subtract feeling from something we experience at first hand and the feelings they do arouse are, largely, not those we have in real life. often something disturbs us more in photographed form than it does when we actually experience it.

In the end, the overriding factor in whether or not you realize your dreams is going to be you. not the world. you.
