A Momo of my own
The is probably going to sound contradictory for anyone that has actually followed my blog especially after that huge bitch I did about sex controlling the world but it does actually make a level of sense. I’m a huge fan of Tramps Like Us *gasp* yeah its true I know that many people think that this series is perverted and about nothing but sex but obviously they haven’t read the manga either that or they are just so simple minded that the sex scenes and references are all they can focus on.

I really love that Sumire keeps Momo as a pet but that’s all he is to her and not in the perverted sense like Ai No Kusabi *double gasp* yeah I’ve watched that series as well. She cooks for him, washes his hair and hugs him to help her through all her anxieties. He really is like a dog to her even during his bath times there is nothing sexual between them. Momo constantly has a sexual desire towards her, which seems to keep a distance between them in the way that she doesn’t always know what he is thinking. Although with Sumire it’s the opposite she realises that she can’t live without Momo he is the only one that she shows who she truly is. She gets angry with him, cries, gets drunk and laughs in front of him all of which are things that she can’t do in front of anyone else including her boyfriend who at one point proposes to her. And Hasumi seems to have little desire to see any side of her so long as she is having sex with him.
Basically there is a bond between Momo and Sumire present because of that absence of sexual attraction between the two. Its like I’ve said sex rules everything she doesn’t want to ruin any of the expectations that Hasumi has so she pretends to be something else its like that with everyone. I recently started reading ‘are men necessary’ yeah my knowledge of and contempt for the dating world has reached new heights now. There were ‘The Rules’ mentioned many times basically this was another book published with a set of rules for women to follow in order to catch a man. Yes another degradation of the female mind by making us nothing but sex symbols who’s only mission in life was to be a step ford wife. Well threes really no need to say this but we all know I am the equal/opposite reaction to these rules (yes Newton’s laws can apply to sexuality as well). From what I’ve read of this book the author struck me as a real life version of Sumire she seemed intelligent enough but was absent of any independency when it came to relationships. Before each action in her relationships she weighed everything up and nearly sent herself insane attempting to act in a way that would please her partner rather then just doing what she wanted.
This totally bugged me why the hell should you have to contemplate every move in a relationship you should just be able to do something solely because you want to. And no that’s not a neive thought what’s neive is when people argue that if you love someone enough you’ll change for them. That is not love that is just Eros sure there are exceptions. But basically most relationships are developed from one seeking out the other due to desire, they have fantasies about the other person and if they don’t live up to their expectations then they just move on, easy come – easy go. Like what really bugged me was when women judged men at dinners, the man’s value was determined by whether he picked up the check or not. What type of judgement is that? You don’t just drop someone because of that. That sort of thing wouldn’t phase me because personally I would rather sit up and watch a movie with my dog then some guy that’s going to judge my value from every move I make because honestly I’m not going to play the sex symbol for anyone and have no expectations of anyone around me. I just want a Momo of my own a dog that can talk back.
