Lately I’ve had cause to consider a subject I’ve touched on before and it’s a frequent subject of discussions I find myself involved in.

The simple version is the intensity of connections made with people involved in the sex industry (and no that isn’t always about carnal pleasures !)

The connections I’ve made either in a professional or personal sense have some very important things in common & the words that spring to mind are intensity, passion (for life), depth (of personality), honesty (often too brutal for the meek & mild) and intuition (as in the well honed skill to very quickly assess people and decide if they’re friend or foe, good or bad, keeper or reject).

I find it increasingly rare to find people in the other aspects of my life who have the same mix and strength of these essential elements of any personality capable of gaining let alone holding my attention. Doesn’t make them bad people or that I bore easily it’s more a matter of the challenge to find those I want to share the journey with.

Nor is it a matter of thinking that those (or the one) I ultimately seek will be somehow connected to the sex industry, more a perception of probability.

Perhaps it’s also to do with the intensity and directness I apply to my interactions with others. I’m very aware that my aversion to shallow conversation and sacrificing truth for the comfort of others in conversational sense doesn’t sit well with many.

Then again I’d rather be alone than compromise what drives me and makes me the human I am. Fortunately both aspects of the mythology behind my personality traits (Virgo & Monkey) are very patient when it comes to such things & happy to enjoy the encounters made during the lifelong quest.
