Above are photos of 3 pages from the 2013 Sketch journal whose cover I included in yesterday’s blog photos.

I include a passage from the book Death of a Hero which discusses the lack of maps to follow as you grow older.

The other 2 pages contain my 2001 margin notes to that entry.

My margin notes:

“The day dawns with its fog and light. Cool, dreamy December. December 18, 2001. Not quite 7am. I’m 46. Well into life’s other “half”. A “half which could last years or minuets. A day to appreciate. To be. To see. To do.

The second margin note reads:

Live a life in a day. What is life but a chain of experiences leading to poetry and ashes. This is a time of going where you feel. Not going where you “see”. The homeless man in the park with his dog named Sideways vs Big. Beautiful, Best. Buffed.

on circlusion

Bidi Azamcak

I wish to propose to you a new term, one that has been missing for a long time: “circlusion.” It denotes the antonym of penetration. It refers to the same physical process, but from the opposite perspective. Penetration means pushing something – a shaft or a nipple – into something else – a ring or a tube. Circlusion means pushing something – a ring or a tube – onto something else – a nipple or a shaft. The ring and the tube are rendered active. That’s all there is to it.

This word, circlusion, allows us to speak differently about certain forms of sex. We need it because the affliction of penetration still rules supreme over the heteronormative imaginary and its arbitrary division of bodies into “active” and “passive.” The verb to penetrate evokes a non-reciprocal or at least unequally distributed process. The one who is penetrated is implied to be passive. More than that, being penetrated, like being screwed, is synonymous to being feeling disempowered.

To make matters worse, penetration exerts its disproportionate influence over the queer imaginary too. This is evident in contemporary mainstream porn but also in BDSM and so-called post-porn. The dildo and the penis function, almost unchallenged, as practical signs of power. Bewilderingly, this is also true among those of us who should be experts on power play. Dommes/doms of all genders tend to express their affinity with the figures of the dildo, the penis, and erect fingers of the hand. Subs associate themselves with the mouth, the vagina, the anus. Sometimes the vulva or the anus of a domme even appears as taboo. It’s as if making use of these parts would have disempowering effects. Maybe not if they were confronted by a tongue, but definitely so if met with a dildo.

What matters, of course, is never a question of what parts a body possesses, rather, of which parts of that body are put into action. Practically everybody has an anus, but somebody who uses theirs sexually – in conjunction with a dildo, penis or hand – becomes a bottom, a sub, somebody passive. Almost everybody can afford a strap-on or a dildo, but a person who uses one sexually, as a rule, counts as a top or a dom – as active.

***

Stranger still is that a person who has genital sex, tensing their pelvic muscles all the while and vigorously rocking their hips, can nevertheless believe themselves to be the one who got fucked. This person is encouraged to think that they have ‘bottomed’ even if they were lying on top! Simply because they functioned as the bearer of the vagina or anus in relation to the possessor of the dildo/penis. The fantasy of penetration stays intact even when contradicted by all the facts.

It is contradictory feature of bourgeois ideology that effort gets causally associated with power precisely in a society premised on the opposite: power derives from the exploitation and appropriation of others’ activeness. It’s remarkable how quickly this supposed link between power and effort is forgotten where blowjobs are concerned... but that’s beside the point. What concerns me here is that this direct link exists between penetrating and power. That’s what has to go.

In our discourse about penetration we map its ‘meaning’ largely in connection with violence. The idea of penetration still dominates, unnecessarily, our understanding of what it means to fuck, and when we say fuck the system, for example, we don’t have in mind a nice kind of annihilation or an experience of delicious plenitude. Penetration often conjures up forceful, conquest-related images – swords and sheaths, drills and holes, rods and sockets and suchlike. Mind you, circluding isn’t necessarily less violent, nor is it a guarantee of good sex. Thinking about fucking in a different way would simply mean that when we say I’m being fucked by the system we’re saying we’re getting badly fucked – badly circluded, for instance – or, more precisely, not getting fucked at all.

Technical as well as colloquial language tends to narrow penetration down to mean practices involving vaginas, anuses, penises, and dildos. Finger-in-butt and nipple-in-mouth play are often not referred to as penetrative sex. The word “circlusion” does not have to share this narrowness. On the contrary, it could cheerfully refer to the activity of a closed hand around a dildo, or of a vagina stretched over a fist, alike, as the act of “circluding.” But it doesn’t have to serve us in this way. Since the meaning of a sign is only ever determined through its use, “circlusion” could equally take the place that “penetration” has hitherto occupied in culture, just without conjuring images that interfere so negatively with people actually having sex.

Think of the moment when you were taught in school how to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections. No one would ever think of trying to push the banana into the freshly unwrapped condom, would they? But the task of correctly applying a condom is easy when you think of it as unrolling the tube onto the banana. Indeed, circlusion is an extremely common experience of everyday life. Think of how a net catches fish, how gums envelop their food, how a nutcracker crunches nuts, or how a hand encircles a joystick, a bottle of beer...

In German, the word “penetrating” (penetrant) is a synonym of another adjective – aufdringlich (which means pushy or overpowering). But aufdringlich is made up of the idea of pushing-through (dringen) together with the prefix ‘auf’ (over/onto). To penetrate or be aufdringlich, then, is about pushing over/onto someone – that is, circlusion! Penetrant should really mean eindringlich instead, where the prefix ein stands for in/into.

O workers of the anus and the mouth, of the vagina and the hand, I say to you: be aufdringlich! Whoever so wishes can, needless to say, finesse the usage and practice of circlusion and put forward sub-distinctions. Say, rotating a bolt into a nut is penetration; rotating the nut onto the bolt, circlusion... In fact, both processes are happening at the same time.

The term “circlusion” enables articulation of experiences we have been living for a very long time. Adopting it is no hindrance to those of us who shall continue to employ our open hands, vaginas, anuses or mouths in the business of getting fucked. What’ll be new is the fact that outstretched fingers, penises, dildos and fists can also be used for that very purpose. Not that we weren’t all doing this already. The only element that was missing until now was the word to describe some of what we’re doing. ‘Circlusion’, of course, is the official word we might reach for when talking to a lawyer or a doctor. In bed with a playmate, it may behoove us to develop something snappier and equivalent like ‘gulfing,’ ‘circling,’ ‘gulping,’ or simply: ‘nutting.’

We often think of feminist vocabulary and speech practice as a highly complicated matter. The word “circlude,” however, is easy to learn and simple to use. Look: I circlude, you circlude, she/he/they/it is circluding, we circlude, her dick is being circluded, his ass is circluding their hand. And above all, it is much more handy than its counterpart. Penetration has four whole syllables; circlusion only three. We’ll end up saving valuable time while talking. Time which we can invest in fucking.

Saturday Secret

So... a thing happened.

Some of you might know I was working on the second story in a series. The series was called To See... and the first story in that series was called Missing Person.

Well... things have evolved.

I spent the last day or so working with the fic (having finished the 'second' fic in the series), and trying to figure out where to go from there. I got into this whole deep ass brain storming session, and the ideas grew... and grew... and grew, until I finally realized that I can't tell the story I want to tell in a series of short fics.

It's way bigger than that. So NOW I have to convert it to a multi-chapter long-fic, and I'm really quite excited about it to be honest. Not quite sure what the new title will be, but... *bounce

So that will probably be my evenings, while watching UNC and trying not to die of tired.

Perfect response from your last anon to the claims that Timmy has lost fame and popularity and respect. If I may add something to all that? He worked and now hangs out with Martin freaking Scorsese. He goes to the Scorseses' house for dinners. Scorsese's daughter said he reminds her of Leo. Timmy has never been as popular, loved, followed and respected as he is now. In the real world, of course. But I guess that anon thinks Twitter is the end all and be all of someone's life...

P. S. The idea that someone's private life affects an actor's career and standing in Hollywood to the extent some of these people think, is frankly ridiculous. And all you need to realize how stupid this idea is, is looking at Leonardo DiCaprio, who, at Timmy's age, used to have a freaking Pussy Posse, date models and party regularly. And he still does! A talented, hard working actor won't lose respect and his standing in the industry because of who he's dating. Which, may I remind people, is nobody's business but his. Something that the other people in Hollywood understand very well. Also, I understand this might be shocking to some people, but people in the entertainment industry actually likes Kylie!
