I was just checking the stats on some of my stories, and one of the stats is number of reads. I was stunned to see that one of them has been read 51,687 times, give or take. That's a heck of a lot of people! I don't think I could name a thousand people. But to think that over 50k have had a glimpse into my fantasy world is just astounding. And that means a great portion of them have probably used my story to generate their own erotic (or autoerotic) experience. Freaky to think about.
On TV this past week, I watched three episodes of The History of Sex. It was fascinating to see just how much sex was an integral part of cultures throughout history. I was also amused by the way Christianity was determined to quash as much of our sexual nature as possible.
My husband laughed when he heard that Martin Luther was excommunicated several times from the Catholic Church. Guess I'm in good company - but the Lutherans only excommunicated me once. Luther, it seems, had pretty definite ideas about the Catholic church's ban on marriage for priests, and included it in his 95 Theses. (Probably why we never did get to read those in my Lutheran grade school. Too racy, I imagine.) He went on to not only marry, but his bride was a nun. Well, former nun. She got the boot too. I hadn't realized that there was a time in the early Catholic church when priests were allowed to marry and have children, and then the Church changed its mind, because they felt sex was taking the men's attention away from the Church. And now we have priests preying on young men (and presumably some young women). Sex continues to take their focus away from the church. Maybe they should be allowed to marry again.
