Pleasure and Danger
Desire on the edge of a cliff
June 2025
Looking at the human experience – especially as it intersects with desire, sexuality, sex, body, age, violence, hunger and thirst – through the lens of the psyche.
Darkness has been the grist to many poets’ mills, the emptiness that allows stars to shine and often the site of cinematic horror films. But what does the dark reveal about how we live?
This is Part IV of a series on the psyche and sexuality, based on the author’s research, reflections and analysis. The writer deconstructs the sexual fantasy that seems to defy all logic, and yet somehow makes sense. She also meditates on the feminist position on psychoanalysis.
Maxi has recently purchased a vibrator and she cannot wait to put it to use. As the series finale, we present to you a classic girl-meets-machine romantic comedy featuring Yours Truly Tom.
Everyone knows that the woods in the night are dangerous, but does it also hold a promise of privacy? After all, what is said (or screamed) in the jungle stays in the jungle.
Thundering rain. Steep hills. A haunting melody. A Guru Dutt poster brings back a vivid memory and two stubborn questions: What was? What could have been?
99% of the time, life is mundane and predictable. This story is the telling of that 1% when truth becomes stranger than fiction and reality out-thrills drama. Hear that? The incoming footsteps of a brand-new chapter?
