It burned in me for a time, even more so after he left. Was that the price of my initiation? Was that the price of being awakened to life? While waiting for other thinkers and further revelations? It has come down to us from the ancients that an old woman gave her daughter the following advice, before giving her to her husband: “I will give you a piece of advice, my daughter, which if you hearken to it will make you happy, make your life sweet, and make you fall in love with your husband. If he comes to touch you, gasp and moan, sway your body, and show him languidness and languor. If he grasps your breasts, gasp loudly. If he enters you, weep and speak whorish words, for these arouse sexual desire and assist in strengthening the erection. When you see that he is close to ejaculating, gasp for him and say, ‘Come deep inside me!’ And when he has filled you, clasp him to your bosom, be patient with him, kiss him, and tell him, ‘My master. How sweetly you fuck!’”
