I like how you cross lines with ease and you give this raw assessment of yourself. Your writing is unique. Although this may only mean some cheerios to you, I'll say it anyway.
Still waiting to even mildly dislike a single thing you've written. I can always relate a little in some way, even though I live a very different life than you do. Loved this story!
What you are doing is no different from what everyone does in their mind anyway.
All you are is honest in a world where most everyone else is a lying hypocrite.
Who doesn't like power?
Who doesn't want someone to fulfil their fantasies?
If you are exploiting people, then everyone who ever fantasised or wrote anything was exploiting people. It can only be a very mild exploitation.
Basically no different from taking sexy photos of people you've slept with, blurring the faces out and publishing it as a "fuck book".
Which I've seen from others.
Many are happy to appear there, and see it as an achievement.
Let's not fall into the trap of thinking sex is a sin that people should be ashamed of and that by revealing that you've slept with someone and they liked it, you are somehow devaluing them.
Conservative religious values are anti-human and designed to make people suffer.
If we reframe the whole situation to, "I found these people so sexy that I want everyone to know that I've slept with them", we can see that it's actually not an insult at all.
People don't lose anything when they are cast in another's mental porno, the loss is imaginary.
I am usually not even revealing I am sleeping with anyone but people feel offended about me writing about my own personal life. Their loss, I get double pleasure by writing about my experiences, once when I live them and then again when I write about them.
Being vulnerable and raw is powerful. I find writing poetry extremely cathartic and I imagine how you write to be cathartic too. To quote a couple of rappers, Eric B and Rakim,
Stella, you are fabulous, I love how animated you are, in person and in print. But as for your "Nazi", let us not forget (as many people do) that Nazi means "Socialist".
Are there interesting right wing weirdos in NYC (outside of Hasidim)? Most people I have known from NYC were either people in university, or transplants looking for essentially higher wages via lower prices on suburban housing. Not exactly the types of people to take the road less traveled, so to speak.

delicious and crunchy cheerios nonetheless, thank you Linda <3

high praise :-) I am glad to hear!
No, it doesn't. Nazi and socialist are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
I'm ded

thanks Tony! I'd disagree that we use the word socialist to mean the same as Nazi though.
