Great documentary, by the way!
The title was an answer to my best friend and former roommate. We are both writers and grammar nerds and the topic of discussion was our personal Muses. I am writing a book* and though it is not about sexuality I still draw great inspiration from indulging in the above.
This article I found a couple months ago talks about a study showing that the number of sexual partners increases creative output. Before some people scoff at that, we must remember that some of the best artists in the world, regardless of gender, had exciting, torrid and busy sex lives: Hemingway, Kahlo, Liszt, Picasso, Oscar Wilde, Violet Gordon Woodhouse, Edith Piaf, Josephine Baker among many others. “If it is chaste, it is not art,” Picasso famously stated. After all, good sex with all its attendant orgasms allow us to have that transcendent, ecstatic experience, which some opine is spiritual in its intensity and grace, at once out-of-body and sensual. It’s mind-altering and a true creative wellspring. I have certainly found this to be true and I can only hope to one day be a successful writer. Well, that takes care of the orgasms part.
And the peanut butter? I have consistently experienced some of my most exciting, surreal and inspirational dreams when I have eaten peanut butter shortly before going to sleep, whether it is for the night or for a nap. I’ve yet to combine the two, it may turn into a mess I’d rather not have on my lovely sheets. I wish I knew what ingredient in peanut butter imparts such dreamy oddness but without a doubt, it does.
*Nothing at all escort related and while the book is not focused primarily on sexuality, I will not shy away from it and act as though it has no importance in human lives. The book is in the science fiction-fantasy genre, which is my absolute favorite to read and write.
