What was the sex life of your favorite writer like?
>>
>>25037606
you start. tell me about kafkas

>>25037618
Not the OP but I've read up about Kafka's sex life.

He had a brief romantic encounter with (iirc) a Swiss girl in some kind of holiday resort during his early 20s. Prostitution is mentioned several times in his diaries and I think by friends, but it's hard to tell how often that was.

The strange thing about Kafka imo is that he had a ~6 year relationship with a woman (Felice) who he met in person only a handful of times, the same with his next gf who I think lived in Germany/Austria or somewhere (a decade younger). The only real gf experience he had was with a young woman working at the sanitorium who he met in his late 30s and moved with to Berlin briefly before he died soon after.

He seemed to have a real problem with the idea of living with a woman, much less marrying her, much less being expected to have sex with her on a regular basis. I think he was too deep inside his thoughts to ever really live an outward life, which is necessary for any interpersonal relationship.

Pretty damn good.

I'm my own favorite and my sex life was pretty active in my late teens/early twenties with a double-digit number of different bodies I came to know. It's currenty dead though. My last escapade was with a prostitute and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. (I mean metaphorically; the pussy tasted delicious, I think I just find money changing hands incredibly unsexy.)
Probably won't have sex again unless it's with someone I can really talk to.

mostly no, imo there are some chapters that get weirder if not as vulgar

>Arthur Schopenhauer's sex life was marked by a profound philosophical disdain for sex as a tool of the "Will to Live," contrasting with his own acknowledged, but often unfulfilled, desires, leading to a life of celibacy, a deep pessimism about romantic love's true purpose (procreation), and an embrace of chastity as a path to denying the Will. While he wrote extensively on sex as a biological imperative and a source of suffering, his personal life involved brief liaisons and illegitimate children, yet he never married, viewing marriage as a poor choice for happiness and sex as ultimately disappointing.

Uhhhh....

Celine surprisingly did well, even if he was cucked a couple times, which I'm sure is just a common side-effect of being a frog. He even had a wife remain loyal to him after having literature's most infamous chud out.

I am the only being whose doom
No tongue would ask, no eye would mourn;
I’ve never caused a thought of gloom,
A smile of joy, since I was born.

In secret pleasure, secret tears,
This changeful life has slipped away,
As friendless after eighteen years,
As lone as on my natal day.

There have been times I cannot hide,
There have been times when this was drear,
When my sad soul forgot its pride
And longed for one to love me here.

But those were in the early glow
Of feelings not subdued by care,
And they have died so long ago,
I hardly now believe they were.

First melted off the hope of youth,
Then fancy’s rainbow fast withdrew;
And then experience told me truth
In mortal bosoms never grew.

’Twas grief enough to think mankind
All hollow, servile, insincere;
But worse to trust to my own mind
And find the same Corruption there.

— May 17, 1839.

Not From This Anger

Not from this anger, anticlimax after
Refusal struck her loin and the lame flower
Bent like a beast to lap the singular floods
In a land strapped by hunger
Shall she receive a bellyful of weeds
And bear those tendril hands I touch across
The agonized, two seas.
Behind my head a square of sky sags over
The circular smile tossed from lover to lover
And the golden ball spins out of the skies;
Not from this anger after
Refusal struck like a bell under water
Shall her smile breed that mouth, behind the mirror,
That burns along my eyes.

Love Again

Love again: wanking at ten past three
(Surely he’s taken her home by now?),
The bedroom hot as a bakery,
The drink gone dead, without showing how
To meet tomorrow, and afterwards,
And the usual pain, like dysentery.

Someone else feeling her breasts and cunt,
Someone else drowned in that lash-wide stare,
And me supposed to be ignorant,
Or find it funny, or not to care,
Even . . . but why put it into words?
Isolate rather this element

That spreads through other lives like a tree
And sways them on in a sort of sense
And say why it never worked for me.
Something to do with violence
A long way back, and wrong rewards,
And arrogant eternity.

— Sept. 1979

Adult topics such as Nietzsche, Sincerity movement, the idea of anonymous image board posting. Trumpism said that we were gonna lose our guns, fake news, media overload, mass shootings, death and destruction of the American infrastructure and 9/11, the jews responsible for it. Unfortunately, the enemy could not be named in real life.
