Sex, failure and teenage angst
I've spent enough time reading Prose to know what gets the likes, sadly it's not my forte as a writer.
Sex is a stupid activity if you analyse it, you can dress it up in fancy words but really; that goes in there, wiggles around a bit and its done. Some of these stories! Well, two hours! You could have gone to Leeds by British Rail in that time! Oh and the one thats based in an office, what? The phone never rings? The cleaners don't come in( 'just move over sir and I'll vacuum round you, my shift ends in half an hour, can't stand here for two hours waiting for you to finish going up and down' ), modern office furniture isn't built to take the weight of two people doing that! No Cctv in place?
I'll concede sex is an important part of life and with the right person( or people) fun, but to write or read about it? Personally I'd rather watch paint dry.
As for teenage angst, I'm old enough to know that "secret we cannot tell the young" which is -- don't look if you are under 21 -- Once upon a time your parents were teenagers and yes they do know what you are up to, as most proberly they did it.
Worse still parents still have sex, they proberly have a better sex life than you do. Those people that go to BDSM play parties? Swingers groups( they still exist I had to google it) they are parents, maybe yours. And the real killer, you are going to turn into your parents one day, Oh, you say you won't, you'll try hard, you'll be different, but one day looking in the mirror you'll see a little bit, maybe a mannerism, a wrinkle, may be its just a word you used, its started. When I read the teenage whines I'm terrible tempted to say 'just you wait it gets worse', but I don't because I can remember what it was like.
Then failure, why the big deal? We all do it, how many novels have you left unfinished? How many poems have been thrown out? How many times have you said not doing that again and then did?
If you haven't failed you haven't lived, get over it!
