Sex and the City Season 1 Episode 2 - Thoughts

8:50 This show didn't age well. In this episode, Carrie finds out a friend of hers has been secretly filming female models for an 'art installation', while he has sex with them. She asks if the models know they were being filmed and he says 'Maybe...'. Carrie sees no problem with this. Instead of recoiling with empathetic disgust, her response is "Do you have a light?" (for a cigarette) and she smiles, watching the sex videos with him :O


15:50 Carrie does warn Samantha about the sex-filming that her 'friend' does, which at least shows that she has a conscience when it comes to her friends potentially being filmed without their consent.


19:55 Samantha WANTS to be filmed, which is fine, as she's consenting to it. Although If i was her, I wouldn't stare at the camera.


21:30 Wow, this guy is 34? I thought he was 40 at least. Age is hard to tell.


22:00 Yeah that's good advice, and true. You wanna be with the one who makes you laugh.


23:00 The episode ends and Carrie hasn't dobbed in her friend to the police, which is fine, they are friends, but she doesn't call him on his behaviour and make him promise to obtain consent before filming women, and to obtain consent before showing these women in his art installation. Can she not put herself in the shoes of these women?

Sexual Assault and Obesity, Weight Loss 2020 and Personal Lessons

 I was just watching a video from the show 'My 600lb life'. It strikes me that there's a common occurrence of these people having gone through sexual trauma in their childhood. I was sexually assaulted the first time I had penetrative sex with another man, he being the insertional partner. From then, I gained weight, and it's been a struggle to not associate my appearance with being 'protected' from sexual assault again.  My assault was a one time thing, although I had to wait 6 months for a HIV test to come back - thankfully negative - but I empathise with these people who were mistreated. Especially as kids - at a time in their lives when they don't have the capacity to communicate properly to those around them a) that they're in a bad situation and b) how it's making them feel. Expression and Communication are two themes that hold steady in my life. I don't tell people what I need enough. Take this weekend for example. A friend of mine came up...

New Thought Process

 I realised today, after thinking about having an inferiority complex, that I need to start saying to myself "In order to find romantic love, I need to look how i look right now' instead of 'in order to find romantic love, I need to lose 20Kg'.
