Oh Joe, this makes me all emotional to read, thank you!
Quoting a yet unpublished piece (which it’s about time I finish) ‘I’ve had lovers who do what I call ‘pray to the pussy’, and it makes ALL the difference—not just for you, but for them too’. What you’re describing is exactly this, the reverence, the recognition of something ancient, archaic, spiritual and human at the same time.
This piece is a thing of beauty—like the subject you’re describing {.} ❤
