skin

45 minutes till goin' home time...

i still have nothing to say, except i love that allilala has found a mission through me and i like that.

[but, i told y'all katilena knew what was goin' on]

anyway, i'd like to posit something i've known for a while, but never mentioned. it's about skin.

can someone please explain to me why darker skin (re: more melanin enhanced) is so much smoother than light skin (re: melanin deficient)? perhaps you are a light skinned (skinded) person with smooth skin, or a dark skinned person with rough skin, but in my experience, it rarely works that way.

a lover once told me that i was lucky to be mixed cause it made my skin soft. i suppose he's right (cuz i have some damn smooth skin). these days i'm sharing my bed with a white man. i like this white man. he's cool. but, i'm not really used to sharing my bed with white men.

[fyi: i'm not racist. i just happen to be extremely attracted (intellectually and physically) to people of color. i have dated white men in the past.]

and the biggest difference between this man and the men before him is that his skin just isn't as smooth. i won't go as far as to say rough, but it's not smooth. his face and head are nice, yes. but, the legs, arms, all that stuff, just isn't silky. i like silky. i like a man whose skin feels creamy against mine.

i suppose i'm lucky to have no other complaints thus far, but i can't help but wonder what can be done about this. perhaps it's a question for the resident expert, but it's my experience that this is genetic, not environmental. you can change your skin type, you just have to learn to be happy with it.

sometimes i crave that satiny texture under my fingertips. i'll just have to settle with touching my own supple skin...

you got something to say?
