Greetings to one and all,
I’m new to the group. As my first post, I am putting up a short essay
I posted to another group last October…
When you were a kid, no doubt you can remember some June evenings when
you ran around outdoors catching fireflies. Did you ever team up with
a bunch of friends, each of you catching as many fireflies as you can?
And then did you all shake your combined catch into a single jar, set
it in a dark room, and watch? You would have seen the individual
flashes of a thousand fireflies combining into a continuous light that
pushed back the darkness.
Think about this. There are over 6 billion humans in this world. Of
them roughly half are attached to a penis. And if, say, half of those
masturbate at least once per week, then in any second at least 2500 of
them are in the deepest throes of that froth-filled moment, each
thrilling to his own semen-filled urethra. That constantly shifting
crowd is beaming its joyous radiation every second of every day —
like the fireflies, thousands of individual flashes contributing to a
continuous light. From a more material point of view, that’s a total
squirt rate of over 4 gallons per second.
More importantly, in your own magic moments, whenever you are able to
steal them, you join that crowd, visiting a special temple into which
you cannot enter any other way. From the oooh as you ascend the temple
steps to the ahhh as you egress through the exit just behind its altar
and, sated, descend gently back to earth, you are one in spirit with
all those thousands of brothers also visiting at that moment, with
whom you would never meet under any other circumstances. They journey
to the temple from all all nations, rich and poor alike, all creeds
and all colors. Indeed from war zones, supplicants from both sides
often meet in that temple, forgetting completely, for the moment,
their utter contempt for each other. Indeed, every soul there is of a
single mind, riding the wave of his own making as it merges in the
temple with all the other waves from all the other souls into a single
tsunami that shatters into swirling foam against the shore — each
fellow utterly consumed with those precious seconds that his penis
protrudes into paradise.
