been thinking about his essays too much lately. gonna print out this picture and put it in my diary like a soldier putting a picture of his lover in his hat before going off to war... it only has to make sense to me for me to do it and I dont feel like explaining it to anyone else

"They accuse me of barbarism. I want to drag England down to the level of savages. But it is this crude stupidity, deadness, about sex which I find barbaric and savage. The man who finds a woman's underclothing the most exciting part about her, is a savage. Savages are like that... That ghastly crudity of seeing in sex nothing but a functional act and a certain fumbling with clothes is, in my opinion, a low degree of barbarism, savagery." "Get the two in harmony. It means having a proper reverence for sex, and a proper awe of the body's strange experience. Obscenity only comes in when the mind despises and fears the body, and the body hates and resists the mind."

- DH Lawrence; A Propos of Lady Chatterley's Lover

that essay DH Lawrence wrote as the prelim for Lady Chatterley's Lover might be one of the most thought-provoking things ive read in a while.... he would love those tiktoks of fourth-wave feminist criticizing OF creators. i need a four hour podcast of DH Lawrence interviewing Bonnie Blue. he wouldn't even be on her about the porn, he prob wouldn't even care, he'd just be on her about the lack of connection on the real

I need to see him interviewing the dude from whatever podcast or a manosphere. he'd lowk fry them for being chuds.

much to ponder.....
