#7: Miscellany

In #6 I forgot to mention one thing: When I was about 5,
my mother took me to a museum where there was a statue
of a naked woman. It was a "modern" piece, all acrylic and such,
and was made to look as a real, live, naked woman would look.
I asked my mother if that was really what women looked like.
She said yes. I was dismayed. She happily thought I didn't want
anything to do with sex. It was the pubic hair.

A woman I know, whom I have known since we were both children,
revealed to me a few years ago that she had deeply desired sex with men
(not boys, MEN), since she was FOUR years old. Poor thing
had to suffer through an elementary school run by a famous American
homophobic, sexophobic, fire-and-brimstones type preacher.

Personally, I am attracted to some women, but one of the things
that is a HUGE turn-off for me is make-up. Even worse than large breasts.
I wonder how much of my attraction to little girls is due to the fact
that they don't wear make-up, unlike almost all American women today.
If this is the case, I am doing well to observe the advice of Proverbs
to avoid painted and perfumed women. Unfortunately, even if I meet
a nice woman without make-up, if I ask her on a date you can be sure
she will be wearing it when I meet her again. Ugh! Does this ring true
for anyone else? I mean, I think *most* men don't like make-up on women,
but is the revulsion stronger among girl-lovers, or is it just me?
