menopause, or give men-a-pause?
“The time has come,” the walrus said… or something like that. It was a poem we learned in school back in the ‘olden days’, lol. This particular problem has been bugging me for a while now. I’ve given men up a few times, only to have them come back into my life when I least expected it. BUT the time has come again, and I need to think this through.
The last two near relationships were disastrous, well, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration. Na… It’s true, I’m done, and being celibate is a choice I’m making. It’s not like I don’t have a ‘happy drawer’ because most of us do, sorry/not sorry. Men are just… well, MEN and their needs always come first, and that’s a fact.
I’m going to just give men-a-pause and enjoy my life without giving in, catering to, or making sure another man’s needs are looked after. PERIOD : ) See, I’m smiling already. My life is important too, and I don’t have to cater to what their needs are. In fact, I have a whole different set of needs, and maybe they should have paid attention to mine?
Do we ever get too old for sexual pleasure I wonder? I know this is my Sunday Funday Blog, but sexual pleasures for women need more exposure and considerations, I think. Why is it all centered around men? Women like it too, but we come in second to the males.
What would happen if God forbid, women finished first, rolled over, yawned, and mumbled “I’m done” and then fell asleep? Hmmm, does that ever happen, I wonder? Well, does it? Maybe it does in a parallel universe somewhere, and if that is the case, then “beam me up, Scottie” insert smiley face here.
Ah, well, life goes on, and it’s time for me to move on. If you’re my friend, call me to go for coffee or lunch, or maybe even a movie. In fact, let’s start calling up our single friends, checking on them (especially if they are old, hint, hint), and do some outings. I, for one, need interaction with people to keep me motivated in life.
Speaking of life, I’m going south soon, and my book is in the editing stages. I’ll have it ready to be published once there, by Sun Publishing. I’m so super excited about this, my first real book! I have three of them inside me and none of them are fiction… go figure, eh?
I let a person read an excerpt once and asked his opinion after. He said, and I quote, “Well, it’s okay, but it’s all just fantasy.” OMG, he was so full of himself, but he was a man, and men are all full of themselves on one level or another. The thing is, I don’t have to make stuff up; life happens to me all the time.
I’m not male-bashing, although it sure reads like it, doesn’t it? Not all men are insensitive, just most… lol. My Uncle Gary loved my aunt so much, and he cared for her right until her passing (dementia). He bathed her and washed and blow-dried her hair every day, talked to her, and fed her with such love. I put them in a chapter of my book, ‘dementia, a Love Story’.
Female lives need more consideration in everything, every day. Taking away or diminishing our rights is degrading to all of us as a whole, and that is just a fact. Wo-men, Fe-male … we can’t escape this male-dominated landscape, which brings me back to Men-o-pause, well, I’ve had enough.
This here GIRL, older and wiser for sure, thanks to my higher power, I’m still here and kicking. I’m also working on a podcast; it’s going to be called my Nana-pod. “Ask Nana Anything” except about hi-tech or men. It will be informative and humourous and keep me involved in life. I have a love of writing, even if no one reads me.
My book will be ready for Christmas, and my Nana-Pod will be up and running at the beginning of November. One of the questions I was asked (from my oldest granddaughter, who is expecting twins) is “how old is too old to wear a G-String” or whatever you call those panties… oh Lord save me from my irreverent answers lol.
And that, girlfriends, I don’t think guys read my blogs, is a wrap!
