~ Fast Reply ~ "Rituals and Proper Form versus Raw Barbaric Passion" One is foreplay for the other. Developing simple standing rules, and a daily ritual or two insure there's always an undercurrent of simmering passion and sensuality which at any moment can bubble over into boiling passion. To a caveman, hitting their partner over the head may be perceived as raw barbaric passion, but the act stands as a precursor, a ritual, to whatever passion is to be exchanged. Everyone likes to say and represent that they are spontaneous. Look closer and you'll see that before the spontaneous raw passion there has been some ritual, proper form, and protocol. Subtle protocol and ritual takes place all around us and we rarely notice. We may only see two people holding hands and miss the intercourse between fingers. We see people walking arm there arms around each others waste and don't appreciate the extra squeeze or rub. We, who consider ourselves 'lifestyle' take it up a notch; no underwear, a collar representing necklace, a tinkling ankle bracelet. What are these but ritual and form? I'll answer my own question - Foreplay. Back when I had my own profile one of my disclosures was that I was a 'habitual groper'. I love touching, squeezing, fondling; maybe not necessarily ritual, but meant to be disclose it would be a fundamental 'proper form' of behavior to expect from me. One of the first indications of compatibility between beth and me was that she didn't mind being the 'grop-ee' from the first minute we met. That was only the beginning of our life together filled with rituals, form, and protocol. We don't even notice all of them now - not because they've become routine but because happen without effort - they are 'treats' we share. I consider myself very fortunate to have a partner who shares with me a passion for a life filled with rituals, form, and protocol. It's led to a lot of spontaneous, raw passion. One facilitates the other. If you put 10 spontaneous people in a room, nothing happens until the first one does something to start the action. Put it in terms of 'in-prov'. Improvising actors and/or comedians bring their talent into the scene; however there is always a subject or a situation required to make the exchange work. Reno 911 is filmed on this basis. No script, but the foundation of 'ritual' and 'form' illustrated by police uniforms and the situations encountered. That's not to say it always works and develops into a 'passionate' result every time, but the possibility of raw passion exists all the time. Rituals, protocol, proper form and raw barbaric passion; these two concepts are mutually exclusive and at odds with one another? I didn't know! I guess I've missed a meeting or two...
