FREAKS!!!

[DOUGLAS CURRY]

According to Wikipedia, the word 'freak,' used as a noun, has several meanings and uses. It is used to categorize one with an unusual behavior or appearance, one that is a result of genetic mutation, or one one that is in some way deformed beyond the standard deviation of human characteristics.

Why, then, do we use this term to describe particularly liberal, expressive, and adventurous sexual partners?

Why are we so preoccupied with this that we have added words like 'freaky-diki,' 'freakazoid,' and 'freak-nik' to our very inventive slang vocabulary?

My main question is, what does our using this term to describe our sexual partners say about us, even how we feel about ourselves?

What does it mean that we consider lovers who give freely and explore fearlessly the most extreme outer limits and the darkest corners of their sexuality, 'freaks?'

I think I can say confidently that barring the use of extreme toys and tools, our lovers only do what nature and physiology have provided for them to do.

So, why are they 'freaks?' Why do we call each other that?

Douglas, I'll do you one better. I'M A DAMNED FREAK MYSELF!
Can't say it's that way 24/7, but I'm still going through that stage, I'm jaded, and it's nothing but joy and pain. I'm thinking I'll slow down one day? But, it ain't NO TIME SOON. So, as for calling my partner a freak? I'll say it to her face when I see her. And I see them often. Some I say nothing to and just enjoy knowing that they ain't hiding a damned thing. And sometimes I'll be bold, like this past weekend; I know, too much info. But this woman I never met before was wearing a MASK! BOY was she wearing a mask. My nostrils flared, I approached her so that it was only her that was able to hear, and I said, "You know what; you a freak." And that little smerk on her face told me everything else I needed to know. In fact, in that instant, we had been to bed with one another, although we never undressed and will likely never indulge. Now, I'm not gonna do that ALL the time. But if the feeling's right, you never know what will come out of my mouth, Douglas!
One thing is certain, however, and two things are for sure: AIN'T NOTHIN IN THE WORLD LIKE A GOOD FREAK WHO CAN BE A LADY IN THE STREETS! Now that I've digressed enough, I'm going back to writing inspiration! LOL.
WORD.

Aaron,

No doubt, no doubt ... I just kind of wonder why we, particularly men, use a word that connotes aberrance -- freaks -- to to describe people who do the most commonplace things. When I was younger and far less experienced,I accepted the notion that women who performed oral sex could be called freaks. Then I found that they were the general rule, not the exception, Nothing freaky there ... Anal? Lo! and behold! Menage de trois? ... or more? -- more prevalent than folks want to admit. So, do we use the word 'freak' to create a cover, to deny that our sexual practice has become so far removed from its procreative purpose? Is it to say that we generally aren't LIKE THAT, except for a few 'freaks?' Frankly, once I was able to explain to some lovers how all was fair in love, all was as ordained in sex,,. the 'freakier' they became because, at least between the two of us, they had been loosed from the stigma.

BTW, what's more inspirational to write about than the urge that drives all others? Bluesman Muddy Waters put it this way:

"Why do men go crazy over a woman (who) wear her dress so tight?
Must be the same ol' thing that make a tomcat fight all night

Why do all of these me try to run a big-legged woman down
Must be the same ol' thing that make a bulldog hug a hound

What make you feel so good when yo' woman put on her evening gown (nightgown)?
Must be the same ol' thing that make a preacher lay his bible down ,,,

Ooh, that same thing ... Oh that same thing ...
Tell me, who is to blame, when the whole world fight about that same thing?"


Make me wanna holla!
