Ecstatic Tears
Oh, wait… so this is a thing?
I woke up this morning to a text my gf sent me late last night. It was a link to this article by Maya Melamed- If You Find Yourself Crying When You’re Making Love, Read This: If your partner ever cried during lovemaking, you might also want to have a read.
She didn’t send any message along with the link, but she didn’t need to. I knew immediately why she sent it. I felt a sudden flood of relief.
Wait, so this is a thing? It isn’t just me?
Just to be clear, I don’t usually cry during sex. In fact, it’s only happened recently, only once, and only with one person. With this particular person. With L.
I was as surprised as she was when it happened. Because, while I’m far from being the strong silent type, I usually have a pretty good gauge on what’s going on with me and my emotional state of mind. And while I have had some very vulnerable and painful talks with L about both of our pasts, I usually make the conscious decision to open up and go there. I decide to let myself go to a place where I am aware that I might possibly cry.
This time there was no preamble. No warning. I wasn’t feeling sad or angry or hurt or upset. At that moment I was feeling the furthest thing from it. It was a mid-afternoon on a weekend day…
