Oops, a slipped SPINE,

 

Hippieism # 7: Sex is good; opportunities should never be ignored.

 

Well, you don’t need Hippie to remind you of that. But sometimes you do need to be reminded of just how good!

 

When the opportunity or desire takes you, take the opportunity or desire – don’t be mad enough to miss it!

 

Hippie used to be familiar with a nice, small hill, right outside the front door. This mound – not really a hill, but that description is fairer to its views – gave fabulous views of a beautiful city in America. Might have been in immediate proximity of the neighbours, but hey, Hippieism # 7, so who cares?

 

More recently, Hippie missed another opportunity to exploit # 7 to its full: a fabulous hotel on the Vegas strip; a chaise_longue  (some of you might need the link) next to the floor-to-ceiling windows; a beautiful, night view of Vegas lights for its occupants. What better opportunity? Sadly never exploited! (The room included a bed you needed a map for, and a great bathroom, but there can be no excuses for ignoring the chaise longue really.)

 

Opportunities like this should never be taken for granted – when will the next opportunity present itself?

 

Same goes for the mile-high club! Don’t be nervous about turbulence – in a xxx-ton vehicle your pleasures won’t cause turbulence, but any you encounter will only intensify the pleasure. Worried about whether you’ll get into trouble? Check the signs, or even be the first person ever to read the card in your seat pocket: your life jacket is under your seat; apply your own oxygen mask before assisting less able people travelling with you; emergency exits are normally found near the lavatories; planes don’t normally crash. (Hippieisms have even saved you the trouble of reading the card now.)

 

Still with guidance on-board an aircraft, in the rest-rooms, it is often an offence to tamper with the smoke alarms; paper towels & other items should be disposed of in the appropriate bins provided, not thrown down the bowl.

 

But where is the sign that says “occupany: one person only” or “no carnal activities permitted”? There are none – because aviation laws appreciate such opportunities should never be ignored. (Never mind about your fellow passengers – there’s plenty of facilities on-board, and you’ll only ever see these people again at the luggage carousel. They’ll be jealous, so don’t be embarrassed – tell them about Hippiesims instead.)

 

 

All that said, do be careful too: Hippie knows of people who have been working out too intensely, they’ve done their backs in recently. No door is closed, but some opportunities are more restricted then.

 

Sex is good, and all opportunities should be exploited – albeit with due care, to ensure the next opportunity can be exploited too. What happens if you get aroused in the car? Just drive carefully while fulfilling your desires, and enjoy the garage/appreciate the shaded windows/buy a parking permit once you pull up.

 

Nonetheless, and even allowing for the health warning that preceded your viewing of this blog, it would be remiss of SPINE followers not to add a restrictive warning. (Or perhaps, simply because this week has been slow, so Hippie feels a long entry is due to make up for things... or maybe because Mother-Hippie might get introduced to this blog soon – she wouldn’t approve of too much Hippie has to say.)

 

 

The UK government this week announced more people will be taught about # 7. Reluctantly, Hippie can’t fully approve: without having considered the arguments, Hippie would wonder if he should have received sex education at 5, or is it still (as in Hippie world) best is to save this syllabus for practical theory at 8?

 

Without giving approval to any argument (except Hippieism # 58: giving kids aged 8 the latter-sex experience of smoking – should put most of them off [insert your choice here, or add comment for # 58] for many years to come; the silly balance can support government taxes), Hippie did consider the Telegraph column from Lesley Thomas added quite an interesting angle to things. Still scared stiff about how Hippie would manage the arrival of Herman & Heinrich – and Hippie is only going to be their uncle; their father put his back out practicing for them! Or perhaps worse, not even practicing!! What a sad waste!!! – Hippie thinks we should have little people matured enough to vote; pull masks off pretenders who smile in one facade, but are monsters in another form (why does the name “Sarah” come to mind?); and understand how to enjoy Hippieism # 7 responsibly.

 

Being a responsible child, Hippie is going to do some work for the rest of the weekend, so take care, but enjoy yourself too.
