I could blame the internet for why I'm like this. The internet makes it too easy. Anonymous sex. Especially for a woman. But especially for a woman like me. No headshot required. I keep the body in shape mostly so I'll have something worthy of desecration. But blaming the internet would be dishonest. Which would defeat the whole purpose of what I'm doing.
I already get why I'm supposed to write stuff down. To deal with it, I mean. The internet told me that. If you want to better understand something about yourself, write about it. I don't want to talk to a therapist about it because oh my god. How could I sit down in a normal setting with a normal person and describe my absolute degeneracy. Both men and women are problematic for me on that score. A man, I would simply resent because he refused to take advantage of me even though I would know he wanted to. A woman, I would resent because I would know that she is secretly just like me, she just won't admit it. Even though most women are definitely not like me. Not to the degree that I am. Not in a way that compels them to actually act on it.
So no therapy for me. The next best thing, according to the internet, is to write it down and figure it out. I don't actually even feel like I need to "figure it out", but there was an incident that I really should take seriously and try to deal with so I'm trying to be an adult and do that. And it's sort of working. Because I never think about any of this stuff in these terms and now that I writing it out, I'm automatically thinking about who I am and what it is I'm really doing.
The incident was I crashed my car into a tree. On purpose. I did it in a panic after a man punched me in the face several times during sex. There was already swelling before I left the motel and I knew I would have to have something really good to tell my husband. I crashed my car into a tree, dear, was the best I could come up with on short notice.
I know that the thing that is supposed to be troubling me is that I put myself into a situation where I was alone with a strange man and he became violent. The problem is that when he started hitting me, I actually came. Not because I get off on pain, necessarily. But because of the names he was was calling me. And because he was right. And because I deserved it.
He asked me right in the middle of sex if I was married. Which is fine. They can do what they want. Just don't leave marks please? I gasped yes because he was pounding my poor pussy mercilessly. That's when he said "You bitch!" and knocked the shit out of me.
Slut. Whore. Tramp. Trollop? Nobody ever said that one before. But I kind of like it. I'm all of those things, and I deserve to be punished. Although I don't want to be. Not really. Not in the way I would be if I was exposed to the world. My shame is for me alone to enjoy, and if my family and friends had to share in it I would kill myself.
That didn't take long. I guess this writing thing really does work. I'm suicidal. Although really it's just that suicide is sort of my backup plan. My main plan is just to keep on going the way I am. And if that doesn't work out, I'll be taking a ride on the Kurt Cobain train. My husband owns a shotgun. I've asked if he's thought about getting a pistol.
I don't know if I would actually go through with it. I think I magnify the seriousness of the thing because I take it so seriously. My depravity. The thing that gets me off. It could be that what I want it to be is more than it really is. It's just sex. But it's reckless sex. With lots of different men. Any of whom could hurt me or even kill me if that's what they wanted to do. But I'm not afraid of them. Not even the man who hit me. He actually grabbed me by the throat and began to choke me. But that was when he came, after which things calmed down considerably. But I was never afraid. Not even in those few seconds when I thought he was going to kill me. I can't be afraid when I'm with them in that room. In those moments, I am not a person. I am an object. I am a thing. A disposable sperm receptacle. Like a human-sized, woman-shaped condom.
I know why I'm like this. At least, I know what they would say if I tried that therapy thing. But that's just one more reason for me to reject that idea. There's nothing they can do. It can't be turned off. It lives in the monkey brain. And every quarter, when my husband's regular 3 day trip is approaching, the monkey starts gibbering.
