This is the second recording of the 'Woman Manifested' series. Please listen and give feedback. I want to know your opinions. The script is also below.
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF A
WOMAN MANIFESTED. TODAY’S TOPIC IS “I CONTROL WHO I GIVE SEX TO, NOT YOU.” LAST
WEEK I SPOKE ON HOW WE AS BLACK WOMEN ARE EXPECTED TO FIGHT FOR BLACK MEN IN
GOOD TIMES AND IN BAD TIMES TOO. HOWEVER, ALL I ASK IS THAT THEY ARE THERE FOR
ME TOO.
I WISH I COULD NAME A TON OF
MEN THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME, TAKING ME ON DATES, INTRODUCING ME TO THEIR
FRIENDS AND FAMILY, GIVING ME THAT INVITATION INTO THEIR PRIVATE LIVES,
TREATING ME SPECIAL. I WISH I COULD NAME A FEW THAT HAVE BEEN THERE TO HOLD ME
AND COMFORT ME WHEN I NEEDED IT. BUT I CAN’T THINK OF ANY.
THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW THAT
ANSWERED THE PHONE, BUT THEY WEREN’T COMING TO MY HOUSE TO MAKE SURE I WAS ALLRIGHT
OR CURSING ANYONE OUT IN MY DEFENSE.
WHAT MEN HAVE BEEN WILLING TO DO IS GET SEX
FROM ME. SOME OF THEM HAVEN’T SUGARCOATED IT. THE MINUTE THEY STARTED HAVING A
CONVERSATION WITH ME, THEY EXPRESSED THEIR DESIRE. THEY EXPRESSED THAT THEY
WANTED NOTHING MORE. THEY PROVED THEY WANTED NOTHING MORE BY NEVER SPEAKING TO
ME AGAIN WHEN I TOLD THEM NO.
I’VE ONLY HAD SEX WITH EIGHT
MEN, SO A LOT OF MEN HAVE BEEN TOLD NO.
SOME EXPRESSED THAT THEY ONLY
WANTED SEX BY NEVER FOLLOWING THROUGH WITH PLANS, BUT ALWAYS KEEPING IN TOUCH
WITH ME.
FOR EXAMPLE, THIS 35 YEAR OLD
HAS CLAIMED HE WANTED TO TAKE ME OUT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT HE NEVER STUCK
TO HIS PLANS. HE ALWAYS ACTED LIKE HE FORGOT. I MET HIM ON A DATING SITE, SO I
DON’T TRUST HIM ENOUGH FOR A NETFLIX AND CHILL TYPE OF PLAN. I CAN ONLY ASSUME
SEX IS WHATS ON HIS MIND AND WHY HE CHOOSES TO DISAPPOINT ME.
THEN THERE WAS THIS GUY I DID
HAVE SEX WITH UP UNTIL AN EXPERIENCE WITH ANOTHER WOMAN CALLING ME FROM HIS
PHONE. I WROTE ABOUT HIM IN MY BOOK. WE DIDN’T SPEAK FOR A YEAR, MAYBE MORE,
AND THEN ONE DAY EARLIER THIS SUMMER HE CALLED ME AND ASKED IF HE COULD COME
OVER. A LOT WAS SAID IN THE CONVERSATION BUT ONE THING HE SAID THAT STOOD OUT
WAS, HE ASKED HOW I MANAGE TO GO WITHOUT SEX.
WELL BACK IN 2011 I AFTER A
COUPLE OF WEEKS OF MAKING HIM WAIT, I AGREED TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS GUY. A
COUPLE OF WEEKS WAS REALLY TOO SOON, BUT I LET HIS PRESSURING ME GET TO MY
HEAD. IT WAS OKAY UNTIL AFTERWARDS WHEN HE SAID IF I WOULD HAVE MADE HIM WAIT
ANY LONGER HE WOULD HAVE LOST INTEREST IN ME.
THAT WAS QUITE POSSIBLY THE
WORST THING SOMEONE HAS EVER TOLD ME, BECAUSE THIS IS MY BODY AND I DECIDE WHAT
TO DO WITH IT. NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I EVER HAD A GOAL TO BE SEEN AS A SEX
OBJECT, BUT REFERENCES LIKE THAT REMIND ME THESE MEN STRUGGLE WITH
UNDERSTANDING THAT.
MAYBE ONE DAY SOME MAN WILL
COME INTO MY LIFE AND GET IT ALL CORRECT. HE WILL LOVE MY BODY AND HE WILL LOVE
MY MIND.
