…If I imagine my HUSBAND<\/b> making love to me (as opposed to just plain ol’ imagination of some man that has not “made an honest woman out of me”)? Walahi, I imagine this thing in my head all the time. I actually make a conscious effort to picture the ring on his finger because I need to convince God – and myself, of course<\/i> – that I am not just …. what’s the word? Fornicating!!! Yeah, isn’t this called fornication of the mind?? Well, it’s only fornication when you’re imagining someone that isn’t your husband. That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
I know what you’re thinking: “But Vera, you’re not married!”<\/i><\/b> Ehen. If I’m not married nko? How is that one your business?? If you can dream it, you can be it. So I have been imagining myself married. Soon I will be married. As you all know, part of being married includes ehm… ehm… going to Jerusalem all willy nilly, so I have been picturing that also. Honestly, he has a ring in my mind. He’s my husband in my mind.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If you’re thinking the word I think you’re thinking, then please stop it right this minute. I am NOT masturbating. I repeat: I AM NOT MASTURBATING!!!!!!!!!<\/b> I am simply imagining what will be. What is so wrong about that? Doggone it! He has a wedding band on….and so do I. I need someone to just validate me and tell me that it’s okay. Tell me I’m right. It might be in my head, but I think I hear God laughing right now. He just said, “This girl is straight trippin!'”<\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lemme tell you how this “married love making” starts. It starts after the wedding, in the limo, on our way to the reception hall. With the bridesmaids in the car, we’ll be all up on each other. Then my bridesmaids will get pissed and irritated, step out of the limo, and take a cab to the reception venue. Actually, it’s a lot more fun in my imagination when they each mount an okada., hair flying in the air, and then all jacked up by the time they reach the reception hall … tears in the eyes from the wind… maybe their dresses will get ripped too ….. but I digress. So when they get off the limo, hubby and I go to Jerusalem. Bingo!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Then at the reception hall, we have to change into our traditional outfits. We tell everyone to get the heck out of the room and give us some time to “talk.” So yeah, we go to Jerusalem again. Thennnnnn after the reception, we continue wherever we spend the night. But see, the entire time, we’re married. We have been pronounced husband and wife. This can’t possibly be fornication of the mind, can’t it??<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Say it isn’t so!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/div>\n
