Whore of New York: A Confession

by Liara Roux

It’s so much sexier to fuck someone who savors it, who holds you in suspense, who moves with intention. And their intention is not just to get off, or to feel better about themselves, or feed their ego, but to feel pleasure.

If we want to experience love, we will by necessity experience pain. Of course we can limit our attachments, if we want to follow that path, but that has never been my way. I love love, relationships, caring for others and things, appreciating beauty, and mourning tragedy. I have no desire to be enlightened, because for me, so much of the joy of being alive is the burden of it. The work of living and loving and caring is what brings me satisfaction. Putting it all into balance.
