Are we safe?

"Later that night I got to thinking about safe s e x. Odd how only when our physical life is at risk do we follow certain guidelines to protect ourselves. But what about our emotional lives? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a little pamphlet to warn us what unsafe behavior might be high risk to ourselves or our relationships. And even if you take all the precautions and emotionally try to protect yourselves… When you crawl in bed with someone, is s e x ever safe?" - Carrie Bradshaw (from S e x and the city)

(And sorry about the deformed "S"-word, didn't want people finding this blog by Googling weird stuff; I'm getting enough of that, as is!)

Then what about the "S" word in the link?

Thank you Mehdi! :)

huh, so does that mean we're gonna hear about heart c o n d o m s which when used will protect your heart against possible chemical side effects of a relationship? great, then all that's left would be physics!

ps : i just think carrie's comments at the end of the episodes are often the worst part of the show... just a personal opinion.

Shahin,

I sometimes think that too, but I definitely agree with her on the safe sex thing. The idea of protection against heartbreaks you suggested would actually be a success, if you can make it thin enough not to ruin the feeling of joy, while still protecting the heart.

well unfortunately the existing solutions almost ruin the 'feeling of joy', so i'm not sure if my product idea is gonna turn out any better when implemented. i think technology is not there yet.

i'd say in both phenomena the joy is there when you make contact, and everytime you're doing so you're exposing a piece of yourself, making yourself vulnerable and susceptible to external threats. they go hand in hand, can't separate the two.
