Our Carnal Desires
We all have our carnal desires. While some of us find an outlet for that moment by diverting our energies to other activities such as sports or work in an attempt to forget that urge, others find an outlet to release it by simply engaging in sex.
Who is one to say the former method is naturally better than the latter? It really depends on the values we hold dear.
Recently, news broke that a local director was having affairs behind the back of his wife. Or rather his wife knew about his extra-martial trysts but chose to close one eye initially, then both, with the hope that her wayward spouse who had veered off course would subsequently return home repentent.
But as the script always goes, the wayward spouse never repents and instead continues with his philandering ways until all hell breaks loose when mistress confronts wife at home. And mind you, it’s not one mistress…it’s a string of mistresses coming out from the closet, slowly, but steadily, one after another, to exposue the true colours of the wayward one.
Why does one always have to learn the lesson the hard way? Is the forbidden fruit always sweeter and more desirable?
I read with disgust how he continued to see the Mistress No. 1 on the sly (or rather openly) when the wife was preganant with child No. 4. Excuse me, even if your wife is heavy with child and cannot satisfy your sexual needs, just do it yourself and get on with it. Do you really need a younger girl to make it up to you?
If his wife was barren, I can probably understand his motives a little better. But she’s not. In fact, she’s given him 3 children and child No. 4 is on the way.
Interestingly, this trend is timeless. Remember the black golfer who drilled holes part-time while he was not swinging his clubs on the green? Or the big nosed megastar who sired a female child nicknamed ‘little dragon girl’ with an actress while married to another evergreen actress? The examples from history past are just too many to list. But I’m sure this will not be the last of such stories we will be hearing.
When men are in power and of a certain status, they tend to fool around to assert their authority. Sowing seeds and drilling holes seem to be the best extra curriculum activities, aren’t they? You can sow a seed, so can you plant a tree. But if you dare to sow a seed, do you dare to sow what you reap? Now there lays the difference.
We cannot erase our past, however unglamorous it is. But we can certainly choose to lead our lives with dignity and intregity. Be a man and own up. There’s no point getting your wife who has suffered enough to be subjected to further emotional torture so as to score brownie points for you.
I don’t blame the mistresses for coming forward with lurid details on how they were wooed all the way to the bed. Men, with their honey coated words, would have offered them a platter of tantalising rewards – be they movie roles, cash or even promises of official recognition. But do a reality check and ask yourselves will any of these materialise? No. The men can promise you anything from the sun to the moon, just to get you into bed. Once the deed is done and he has satisfied his carnal desire, you belong to the category of stale goods. Now on to the next sweet young thing. That’s why only sweet young things aged between 22 to 26 need apply.
Yet, let the truth be said. It’s not always the man who strays. Woman too stray and they do it quite daringly as well. I just saw an old neighbour in the same bus on my way home. She was with another man and she certainly was getting touchy touchy with him. Alright, she’s a widow so perhaps she has the right to seek a second relationship after her hubby died years ago? But if you were in the know, she was already seeing this man on the sly (or rather openly as well) when her husband was still alive! Such audacity on her part. I’m sure her husband must be turning in his grave should he ever find out.
If anyone out there still wants to play, please proceed with caution. You have been warned of the consequences!
