Sex, Death, Lists

9 Comments Posted by on 01/10/2013

I wonder if there is any relation between this from a Hugo Schwyzer post about people who keep lists of past sexual partners:

I was also curious to hear why people kept lists. I heard the same common refrain from men and women alike: “I don’t want to forget my past.”

And this from Umberto Eco on the reasons that humans are and have always been list-makers:

We have a limit, a very discouraging, humiliating limit: death. That’s why we like all the things that we assume have no limits and, therefore, no end. It’s a way of escaping thoughts about death. We like lists because we don’t want to die.

    Liam Neeson’s love of lists immediately popped into my head.

    More information than you needed or wanted to know dept: I have a list of every woman I’ve ever slept with, and I’ve, uhh, perused, once or twice even in the last five years.

    I can’t explain why, though I never gathered that it had something to do with my mortality; my best guess is that I started it when I was in the hard grip of my early-20s mindset, and once it began said task generated a life of its own.

    Pretty stupid, when you think about it —— but much of life is, I guess.

    I wonder if Skeezer keeps a list of all the womyn he’s slapped around and another list of all the low status men he’s shamed into suicide…

    He’s a fucking scumbag…

    I don’t keep a list. I can count all of them on one hand.

    Hugs is such a buffoon, such a vile and transparent emissary for the reject crowd, that you really have to wonder if it’s all an act. I imagine there are at least a few sufficiently brain damaged co-eds who lap up his runny shit to make it all worth it. I bet he’s still scoring illicit tail on the down low. Would explain his behavioral similarity to closeted gays who rail against homosexuality.

    Or maybe he’s a True Believer. If that’s so, he’s an even bigger pud than I peg him for. At least one can understand, if not condone, a phony shucking and jiving act to off-pitch feminist tunes in order to dupe dumbo feminists still in the bloom of youth to give up the goods. But a guy who dances like this with his junk tucked between his legs because he actually enjoys two-stepping like a spaz eunuch? What a maroon!

    twenty five or thirty, including whores, but depending on the nature of is.

    Eco is grasping on this point: Death as humiliation; as if life were not enough.

    Did not read Eco. Great name, like Tarantino; but does he rep with that point.

    I keep lists because you never know when somebody’s going to surface with a false allegation or something similar in the future. It’s also good to know when an ‘ex’ is in the neighborhood, so you can take precautions to avoid her.

    I suppose Schywzer keeps lists like trophies, though. He’d best be careful, though, that came back to bite his collegue Kyle Payne in the butt! LOL

    Can I add non-copulatory (i.e. “heavy petting”) interludes that terminate in the sought after objective to my list? Safe sex is best, you know!
