Victor LaValle, author of Big Machine, The Ecstatic, and Slapboxing with Jesus (and, full disclosure, a guy who blurbed one of my books), on his early-20s period of obesity, depression, and phone sex: “Have you ever known men or women who don’t get any kind of loving for years? They get weird. The women become either monstrously drab or they costume themselves in ways that make them seem unreal; they externalise their inner fantasies and come to believe that – on some level – they really are elves or princesses or, most disturbing of all, children again. And the men? They’re even worse. Men who are denied affection for too long devolve into some kind of rage-filled hominoid. Their anger becomes palpable. You can almost feel the wrath emanating from their pores. Lonely women destroy themselves; lonely men threaten the world.”

…and, of course, most lonely people do neither.
Fine writing, but…
My pores never leaked any rage — even after Zoloft transformed me from fit to fat in my early 20’s. Likewise, I’ve never known any elves. (There was this one girl, in college, Notorious for wearing a cape. Don’t think she was lonely, though. All the Warcraft nerdz wanted to fuvk her).

once knew a rather large girl that wore cat ears all the time. then one day she injured her eye and legitimately had to wear an eyepatch, and everyone thought it was just another odd fashion choice.

(prolonged) denied affection is one of the hardest psychological condition (‘trial’?) to endure.
is there a way to ‘live’ through prolonged denied affection ‘healthily’?

did. Im really impressed that theres so much about this subject thats been
uncovered and you did it so well. Phone Sex
