This straight up spoke to me. Even out of context. Especially out of context. There is the logical, analytical, academic part of the brain… and then there is the fear, anxiety, panicky part of the brain. This book really did rise above the smut (but that part was awesome, too).

I was happily reading the second book of a series of smutty fluff I stumbled upon to help me get over my Onyx Storm hangover, I was met with what is quite possibly the most sex positive, philosophically profound thing I have ever read (in smut or otherwise). 🤯🤯🤯

GingerAntics “To be fully human is to be fully sexual, and while that doesn‘t mean having sex or even sexual desire, it does mean being fully in your body. It means recognising that there‘s nothing any less holy about your body than there is about your soul. That as long as your body is treated with consent, and respect, and affection, and that you treat the bodies of others in the same way, 1w
GingerAntics there‘s nothing inherently sinful about your flesh, about its desires or lack of desires, about what it does or does not do. You do not have the ability to tarnish her or yourself. That right isn‘t given to any mortal person. She‘ll be no more or less holy for sex. The same goes for the lack of it.” 1w

BookmarkTavern Oh wow. 👏🏻👏🏻 1w
GingerAntics @MaGoose it was so wonderful to hear this from a former priest, who left to marry the woman he fell in love with, 3 years after taking his vows. 1w
GingerAntics @BookmarkTavern @MaGoose THIS should be the sex ed line found in every curriculum. Period. Full stop. End of story. How much more healthy would the world be if THIS was what everyone‘s understanding of sex was centred around? 1w
BookmarkTavern Exactly! And the additional fact that it is sex positive without being condescending or insulting to people who don‘t have sex. 1w
GingerAntics @BookmarkTavern EXACTLY!!! Like feminism that allows a woman to WANT to stay home and raise her children… because it is her choice… because it is the choice that matters. 1w
BookmarkTavern Yes! The choice and the opportunity are what‘s important. A single, career minded woman is no more or less valid than a married, stay at home mother as long as they are both doing what they want to! 1w
kspenmoll Yes! 1w
GingerAntics @kspenmoll since the whole series/trilogy are stand alone stories, I almost skipped this one. I am SO glad I didn‘t. I even cried at one point. Man that book was a rollercoaster! 1w

The Bride Collector | Ted Dekker

"Whether or not they were willing to admit it, all humans were self-contained and alone. The wisest and hardiest among them managed to acknowledge that fact and surpass it. More experienced adults had found ways to cope, but many if not most felt it still. Younger adults felt it deep in their bones and cried out for significance. Some retreated from that insecurity as a matter of survival."

Here's the thing, say Shug. The thing I believe. God is inside you and inside everybody else. You come into the world with God. But only them that search for it inside find it. And sometimes it just manifest itself even if you not looking, or don't know what you looking for. #thecolorpurple #truth #god #godsinsideyou #foundwhenyouarentevenlooking #bornwithit #profound #inspiring
