"It's all overrated, man. Sex is only a great thing if you're not getting any." ~ Charles Bukowski

FULL QUOTE - "THE FIRST ONE:

Fuckin' the first one was the strangest -- I didn't know -- she taught me how to eat pussy and all these fucking things. I didn't know anything. She said, "You know, Hank, you're a great writer, but you don't know a damn thing about women!" "What do you mean? I've fucked a lot of women." "No, you don't know. Let me teach you some things." I said, "Okay." She said, "You're a good student, man. You catch on right away." That's all -- (He got a little embarrassed. Not by the specifics, but rather by the sentimentality of the reminiscence.) But all that eatin' pussy shit can get kinda subservient. I like to please them, but...It's all overrated, man. Sex is only a great thing if you're not getting any"

Word. So true. And a fist bump to a fellow Virgo mooner R.I.P you miserable bastard. Pessimism all the way baby!

honestly people who say stuff like that has to have small dicks or performance issues... one or the other. and let's face it, half of the population have a dick smaller than 5 inches. how could you possibly love sex when u don't even feel like a man?

if you good size and can perform, can't even begin to fathom that mentality.....

+ 100

I didn't use to love sex that much, but after meeting my Cappy (..8 inches + blush* sorry if tmi), it is absolutely amazing!! He's so fucking good with his hands too. Let's just say, he always feels like a man with me 🙂

OOOH OMG SHOCK HORROR!! The thought of sex being overrated! That's impossible!!! Get over yourself man, it is, face it, that's why you're annoyed, i touched a nerve. Yes i may have a strangely thin penis but i do ok, i'm fucking a straight 10 and iv'e wondered how good game of thrones season 5 will be during sex, it happens GET OVER IT. The pure fact you've encapsulated everything to do with sex with penis size just shows how simple minded you are.

Your turn:

P.S (AA is back and slightly tipsy)

hah. 😛

my sag never really enjoyed eating pussy before me. he found it a chore best to be avoided and didn't like the taste/smell of other women. although for some reason he's completely obsessed and aroused by mine so i had to teach him. i spread my legs and was like, "this is my clit, the magic button. lick here continuously."

Hehe, so simple

Totally missing the point. A lot of his advice was given in a self-deprecatory manner. And it was never about looks. He was an alcoholic and heavy smoker, and the biggest thing that attracted women to him was the fact that he was emotionally unattainable to them and that he didn't give 2 fucks about what people thought of him. Especially the women.

Basically he was an asshole. And he didn't care. He only cared about his writing.

If he was the real bad boy he portrays himself to be on here, he would know this 🙂

not from organic attraction... so i understand his bitterness toward sex now.

Slept with over a thousand women, don't think he's bitter towards sex mate.

This is a complex dude, you can't really explain him in just a few sentences, i know my friend over here, the lady with the mouse eating a strawberry profile picture (i think) has tried, and i commend her for that, but like she said, it's just one thought, one quote from a million. Life isn't all about big dicks and rocoes fucking chicken!

What is Roscoes like anyway? I heard good things

AA... Can Exo link me to the playground video?

Please please please

I like how Exo respects me enough to get permission.

Yes but only the playground one. The hoover one is off limits. I had tried mdma for the first during it's conception and as you could see i had gone to places i never wish to go again

—alone with everybody"
by charles bukowski

the flesh covers the bone
and they put a mind
in there and
sometimes a soul,
and the women break
vases against the walls
and them men drink too
much
and nobody finds the
one
but they keep
looking
crawling in and out
of beds.
flesh covers
the bone and the
flesh searches
for more than
flesh.

there's no chance
at all:
we are all trapped
by a singular
fate.

nobody ever finds
the one.

the city dumps fill
the junkyards fill
the madhouses fill
the hospitals fill
the graveyards fill

nothing else
fills.

Anyway.

Bukowski was a writer. It's important to remember that.

His imperfect, angst-ridden, opinionated, gloriously irreverent self finds complete justification in his craft. He took all that madness and turned it into near-perfect stylistic cadence.

I'm not a Bukowski fan. His material just doesn't suit my tastes. But his stuff reads like EB White's essays. Beautifully clear, precise writing, in which every word tells. White was half of Strunk & White's Elements of style. EB White co-authored the book for writers. It's a classic, but still as relevant today (especially today) as it was 50+ years ago. So I'll praise anything that reminds me of White. The subject can be drywall installation; I'll read it because I know it'll make drywall installation sound sublime.

No one needs to like Bukowski and his life-choices, or agree with his personal views or "advice." If it's taken too literally, or divorced from the context of his life as a writer, or if it's misused as some form of primer on marketable social skills, then you'll have missed the point entirely, along with whatever wisdom is stirring just beneath the surface.

It isn't just about knowing how to read. It's about knowing how to read, particularly in context, not just in terms of story and plot, but also in terms of someone confronting the enormity of their art - what they do to it, and what it does to them.

Well said
