Getting and having

Getting is better than having. We’ve established that. Is wanting better than getting?

Diana seems to delight in showing me her ass and her thighs. Who am I to complain?

Sofia’s right: I really am difficult. The two dangers of being desired — having instead of getting, and being wanted in the wrong amount.

The getting feels better than the having — and that realization explains more about me than I’m entirely comfortable with.

Just like a toddler, what I want isn’t to have — it’s to get.
