You feel cheated by the lines on the peestick. You want soaring romance, an intertwining of souls, a togetherness almost spiritual, and you think I'm giving you cold-calculated dates devoid of passion. But it's not like that.

It's like I'm drowning in signals and noise, pouring in from each part of my body.

I am aware of my lips, parting gently; my breath, spilling into my mouth and catching in my throat.
I am aware of my eyes' dilation as their lids slightly widen, then half-close.
I sense the roll of my hips, the tilt of my pelvis, the curve of my breasts, the arch and bend of my spine.
My fingertips warm from the feel of you; I think I could welt your skin with my softest caress.

I am a ball of sensation in the palm of your hand.

It has been like this since the beginning with you, and only with you. It is unchanged by fertility, and infertility, or by something as cheap as a peestick. The word "lust" is too trivial; "desire" too shallow. What should I call it? It's carnal, and animalistic, and mindless, and deep. That taste. That smell.

The flesh I am wants to grow and swell and hurt and tear, for you and descendants of you. Only my mind knows it's futile. There is no ghost to fear, just the machine.

I love you guys. You all seem to have picked out a slightly different aspect of this and it's all stuff I was trying to put in.

Sobbing..."The flesh I am wants to grow and swell and hurt and tear, for you and descendants of you." This sums up perfectly how I feel some days...

Very beautifully said, Bea!

You have an incredible way with words. Extremely well said.

Um, that is beautiful in a gut-wrenching ache sort of way.

The first line made me not my head and think, "uh huh." By the time I saw it again at the end, it made me cry.

Yowsa, I coudn't help but imagine how this relates to my guy and felt my pulse quicken. You've captured the essence of attraction in such a visceral way, and that's what makes the cold and antisceptic nature of IF treatments and interventions so hard. We're robbed of the natural, passionate way of creating something new and wondrous.
