When The Time Is Right

"One man is about to do the unthinkable.
No sex.  Whatsoever.   For...40 days
and 40 nights"
I read these words from the movie poster
and thought "How absurd...how ridiculous."
The times have been many when I have lived for
40 days and nights with no sex in sight.
How insensitive can Hollywood be
to the wants and the needs of me.
For without love sex becomes only
a word and an action that would
provide me with little satisfaction.
And if I were to choose between sex or love
I know that love would win everytime.
I could care less about whether or not
I have sex for forty days or forty nights.
My primary concern is making love
when the time is right.

Note:  "One man is about to do the unthinkable.
No sex.  Whatsoever.  For...40 days and 40 nights."
This was taken from the movie poster advertising the movie "40 Days and 40 Nights".
A movie that will be opening approximately March 01 in theatre's everywhere.

*smiling at you SBJ*
this is classic YOU.
Silly premise for a movie...but it sure inspired a gem from your pen of sincerety and  genuine heart.

You speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath ... your words keep me alive.

Boy...they will think of anything to sell movie passes anymore.  I like your thinking James!  Rather make love than have sex any day!

  So you won't ever forget me~

James,
I'm rather certain the plot of the movie does not parallel your poetic response. I'll stick with the poem! Great write and sentiments.

Oh dear, how insensitive can Hollywood possibly be to affection, this just sickens me! Love is what brings people together, and without it, sex is just nothing but a crime to the heart! (big hugggssssss) I'd rather be making love than having sex anyday in my whole life, for love is what makes it special! We all love you so much, sweet friend, such strong feelings flow from your words that I agree with you ever so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet James, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

awesome write, sometimes a few men really get the bad rap for the mulitudes haha seriously though, to love is a miracle, but to ahave sex is just that. Again this poem is incredible.

I saw that ad and felt the same as you, how absurd! Just shows Hollywood has no handle on what truly motivates the heart. I agree, making love when the time is right is far superior than having sex for sake of sex. I would choose love too. Very well said!

*giggling* Oh James you are just amazing...You speak with your heart and to me that makes you simply adorable...I think you are wonderful....To make the sex beautiful there has to be a blending of the hearts in love...*sigh* **big big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.
