Abnormal and exciting

Not long ago, while I was walking at Liberty Avenue with my mother, an unusual idea struck my mind: "Normal and boring. Abnormal and exciting." Wow! It was a new way at looking at life. And what I was referring to was relationships and marriage. It is normal for couple in love to be haphazard in deciding to marry one another. They marry and what the heck? And what happens? They immediately ruin their relationship and love. Reality creeps in, real-life problems, issues, to say a few. They beget children. At first, the children were the symbol of their love for one another. After not so many years, the fact that they have children is the only thing that keeps the marriage intact. It started as a sweet, ridiculously sweet story. How will it end up? A bad, ridiculously bad history.

And how about the abnormal, the abnormal and exciting? What I am talking about here is the unorthodox way of dealing with things. Fantasies, perversions, non-missionary sex positions, live-in/try-out marriage. Just think of any bizarre idea and let's start with it. Your mind is the limit. Your partner does not have to pressure you to do anything you don't want to do or anything which doesn't seem to be necessary. Just because it is tradition does not mean it has to take place. This is a good start, and so I hope.
