May I say a great post one containg ideas I was hoping to touch on myself, but you have put them so eloquently, my efforts would seem mediocore.<br /><br />In agreement with the comment above, I would say I receive a sexual experience from most caloric foods. Chocolate is something I try never to buy for myself, it is saved for special occasions. (recently this has been every day) Case example, while reading your post I was delving into a huge piece of chocolate fudge cake made for my flatmate's birthday. While eating I had mixed emotions of pure joy and ultimate guilt. As you said, I now feel slightly sick and am extra aware of the muffin top edging over my trousers.<br /><br />I spent my valetines with another singleton drinking wine, watching Mammamia and of course...eating chocolate!(special occasion)ObsessedKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06078402176322920101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-71478547851756346252010-02-15T01:34:38.291+00:002010-02-15T01:34:38.291+00:00Chocolates are nice.

But I also enjoy curries, fried fish, chips, pies, steaks, things with gravy, roast dinners... most things with a high carbohydrate and fat content, to be quite honest, short of actual lard (which isn't very nice). I can make *any* food a seriously sexual experience, because I just enjoy food. Chocolate isn't all that special.<br /><br />So, this Valentine's weekend, my male and I studiously ignored Valentine's weekend. I cooked a home-made curry for him on Friday, because I'm learning to make curry. He bought me books on Saturday, because it's my birthday in two weeks. We went to a gig together on Sunday, because it was a super exclusive thing by a band we rather like. We did not buy chocolates or cards- except a dime bar each on the way out on Saturday, because we forgot breakfast. No flowers. No diamonds. No "happy Valentines!" at an expensive restaurant.<br /><br />More and more people every year engage in anti-Valentine's events. Going to "singles not looking to hook up" clubs, refusing to buy chocolates or cards or flowers, not going anywhere near romantic restaurants or places. There's a bit of a backlash against corporate sponsored sickly obsessions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343658614010405479.post-3078058236938281552010-02-14T11:11:15.612+00:002010-02-14T11:11:15.612+00:00Hmmmm... whatever.

You put it all perfect...Oh gods this, so much this. You put it all perfectly. And it echoes something that's been bothering me a lot this week, as the V-Day craziness sees all those lurid chocolate adverts take over the tv. (And diamonds? Wtf? Why am I supposed to crave - nay, *demand* - a deeply unethical shiny bit of rock at a ludicrous price? Give me a book on geology any day; *that* I can get excited about. :-))<br /><br />There is something so offensive in this idea that women are supposed to desire chocolate (while hating ourselves after eating lots of it, naturally), but *not sex* (let alone actually lusting after someone else's body), that it leaves me speechless. It's not just annoying, it is a profound reflection on how utterly fucked up our culture's attitude towards women's wants and desires are.<br /><br />I like chocolate. Like it a lot if it's dark and fair trade and covers a brazil nut or a cherry in brandy. Nom. But, you know, that's it. I like it. It doesn't give me orgasms, it doesn't comfort me when I'm down, it doesn't fulfil my deepest needs. My comfort food of choice is a very rare steak with good chips and some nice vegetables. Or failing that, a whole bowl of cherries. But if I desire to experience emotional comfort and physical pleasure, I'll spend some time with my husband or my boyfriend, thanks. Neither of whom are getting me anything for Valentine's Day, and neither of whom I'm going out with tomorrow. Though I think a pub lunch and a nice stroll with the former is on the cards today, and the latter and I may be hitting London museums next time I go and stay with him. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
