HELP! I'm ageing fast!

What IS wrong with me?  

I have always enjoyed harlequin-ish books from time to time, indulging my self in a feast of what I told Ming "soft-core porn" stories, in which the guy is always too good to be true, cold, distant, yet passionate in bed. It's a phase. it's usually near my PMS.  

I even told Ming one day, joking, how come he never kissed with "demanding" lips as described in one of those silly books (Ming absolutely hates kissing. he's usually down to groping, what a waste of those chewable lips -- believe me, I've chewed them as often as he permits it)

But then now, at work, with people who sat behind me and next to me are all gone out of town, with my dad in law away out of the office, I can browse the internet and the first thing I do is to check www.eharlequin.com !!

I laughed at some of the summary. is just too cheesy, but I also, surprisingly, can't wait to read some of them!!! 

What is wrong with me?? I used to like better books such as The Life of Pi, Roots, The Alchemist, even satire comedy like Terry Pratchett's books. Then I downgrade to Chicklits. Now Harlequins????

I suspect ageing is one factor. AM a mom. HAVE settled down.  

Is that it?

Ming called from Singapore and I told him about the website and he said immediately, Oh, the porn? Harlequin is not porn of course, though not lacking in the very sizzling description of great sex and kisses.  

hhhh, anyways, I used to be able to buy Indonesian language harlequin books near my office for 30rb per book. a great bargain. But last time I checked, they told me they no longer carried the Harlequin series, they returned them already! can you believe it? If people in Indonesia had moved on to other books, how come I get stuck there?!

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

I mean, don't get the wrong ideas, Ming always meets his obligations "lahir and batin" if you know what I mean. No complaints there.  

So tell me guys, have you been through this phase in your life when you seem to have endless need for the soft-core por..i mean, harlequin-ish books??

HUAHAHAAHAHAHA..

first of all, this is NOT the vivi I used to know. WHY ON EARTH do I need to know the details of you and your Ming and how he gropes and hates kissing and you chews and ... most of all, why do I need to get all details on chewing and groping???????????????

Second of all... Hmm I used to like those Harlequin books as well... remember?
I used to read every single one of them, rented them at the book rental at my university. Used to call Sandra Brown my fave author coz she wrote sizzling hot sections on the por... well, love stories ;-)

Then I moved to all the literatures that you always recommended me to read, LIttle Prince, the Alchemist, blah... all those 'heavy books' but now... I am degrading myself to DONALD DUCK!!!
I'm serious. I read Donald Duck series (you know, the pocket book) ALL THE TIME now. If I don't have them in my handbag, then I drop by at the nearest bookshop and buy one of the weekly editions.

I find Donald Duck very intriguing, very relaxing and calming and soothing.

So I guess it's a phase. You don't have to be horny... it's just a phase.
Maybe because of your settling down, as you suspected, your subconsciousness wants some animal sex, some ranch-owner-hot-on-the-horse-with-tanned-skin-and-pepper-grey-hair-and-fresh-aftershave-odor-mixed-with-grass-smell kind of guys. Hihihihi.
It'll go away. Don't worry. Like everything else.

Puberty, second puberty, menopause, baby blues, they're all just a phase.

I hope my Donald-Duck phase will go away too, though. I've had it with people staring at me and smiling to see me in the tram pulling out a DD book from my bag!!
