“I think of her as much as anyone thinks of their former lovers, I suppose,” I heard him say, distantly. “Men especially never forget the erotic encounters they have enjoyed.”

“Fantasies when they are lived out, are sometimes dangerous things.”
I thought for a moment and shrugged. “It can be just as dangerous not to live them out,” I said. “They torment you, haunt you, obsess you.” Yasmine Millett |

quote
“I have never ceased to be fascinated by feminine beauty. In a man, beauty, if it exists, is usually simple; a complete harmony of physical qualities and behaviour all acting together as a whole. The slightest flaw causes it to disappear. In women, beauty is more complex. Often, in my experience, the impression of beauty is created by a single aspect of a woman and from that aspect beauty appears to spread outward through every part of them, rendering them beautiful in their entirety. Sometimes such beauty comes from a smile. Sometimes from a lovely pair of eyes. Sometimes from an attitude, or a form of movement, or a sentiment of goodness or happiness which reveals itself in a single expression. Sometimes it is the curve of a body from which beauty spreads, sometimes a tone of skin, or a river of glossy hair that catches the light and seems to shine like silk. Yet were that aspect removed and not replaced by something else, so too would the beauty it had brought to light disappear. Le

Goodreads's
question:
I go for a walk, go to the beach, read, drink wine, relax, but most importantly I wait. Inspiration will always come, but in my experience you cannot force it. You simply have to be ready to make the most of it when it arrives.

“They made love for the reason all people should make love; for pleasure, for joy, for ecstasy, for themselves, and one another.”

“Knowing oneself is the hardest thing of all – knowing, that is, and accepting.”
― The Erotic Notebooks
― The Erotic Notebooks
“How many people know anything of either their lover’s true history or their desires? Truly know, I mean, not merely suspect.”
― The Erotic Notebooks
― The Erotic Notebooks
“I had not, if truth be told, thought to wonder whether indeed a single lover might ever bring a full, rounded, complete satisfaction of all I had craved for a long time past, and that I imagined all lovers must crave.”
― The Erotic Notebooks
― The Erotic Notebooks
“I thought of fleeting satisfaction, of happiness, of romance, of perfect silver screen moments shared with a companion, and of perfect blue movie moments too. Yet I had never stopped to wonder whether that one companion might satisfy me completely, having assumed always that there would be another to follow who would touch a different chord in me, who would bring me a different pleasure, and that with all of them taken together I would create for myself a mosaic of experiences that gave me everything that I wanted to experience in the course of my life; everything that I wanted to feel, to enjoy.”

“To remain with a lover permanently, or at least for any significant period of time, had always seemed to me so limiting, so much like putting up a door, albeit a beautiful, elaborately carven door, between myself and the dark, mysterious entrance to the unknown, the unseen, the unexperienced; a door that closed those things off to me. It gave happiness, in my experience, to remain with a lover over some weeks or months, to explore them, to become comfortable with them, to express myself to the fullest extent that I thought they would accept. Over too long a period, however, I always found myself beginning to yearn for those things I was not receiving; those other forms of happiness that loyalty to one person caused to become inaccessible – to be glimpsed from afar yet always untasted, untouched, unfelt.”
― The Erotic Notebooks

“It had never occurred to me, I realised then, to demand from any one lover explicitly all of those things for which my mind and body yearned. They might not have been willing, or happy, to give them to me, after all.”
― The Erotic Notebooks
― The Erotic Notebooks
“Yet the thought of how it might be to be with a lover who knew me, who glimpsed all of the desires that lie within me, even the darkest ones, and accepted them and wanted to fulfil them, is something I have never allowed myself to imagine. And to know, truly know all that my lover wanted, and to feel that I gave it to them. There is something wonderful, and dangerous, and powerful, and exciting in that. Perhaps that is the way to make the excitement endure, not fade a little more with every sunrise.”
