I am reading "Atlas Shrugged", based on Qiao's recommendation. He gave me the book after having re-read it himself recently. I can't say yet whether I much like the book or not, but it's quite more interesting and readable than I thought it would be.
I came across the first sex-scene in the book today. The sex was described as being wonderfully pleasurable for both people. It was described as being how joy was meant to be expressed. Or something like that.
98% of the world's adult population, or somewhere there abouts, feels that way about sex. That sex is this wonderful, pleasurable thing. And I am left staring at the words, thinking, who are these people? They are not me. I do not feel the things they feel. They are alien to me. I am out of place in this world...
Every time I see sexual content on TV or in a movie, it makes me feel alienated and alone.
Even Ugly Betty was trying to make out with her boyfriend in the episode last week, and she was upset when he kept dodging her attempts. But then they hashed it all out, and up to his apartment they went, apparently to have wonderful, pleasurable sex.
Fuck you, world.
