Musings of a Mad Woman

 

I’m in a lot of pain.


The man I married keeps finding ways to tell me that I stress him out. That I ruin his days. That I’m a pain in his head. According to him, I give him headaches. I make him feel unhappy, defensive, and inadequate.

Today he asked me, “Who is encouraging me?”
This man I spend hours talking to—about his work, his worries, his dreams. I try to lift him without sounding prescriptive or patronizing. Yet, I’m somehow still unloving and discouraging.

There’s a tightness in my chest. My head hurts. I want to cry, but even that doesn’t bring relief.
Sometimes, I try to think of sex, to distract myself. But with who? Who wants to sleep with a married, lonely, unattractive woman?
I can’t remember the last time a good-looking man even tried to talk to me. Online or offline.
I’ve lost my game. But I think I can get it back. Maybe.

I got off the phone today, crying. Heartbroken. Shattered.
I immediately searched for something to numb the ache. Something—anything.
I scrolled through my phone hoping someone, anyone, would be available to talk. But there was no one.
I even thought, prostitutes. Male prostitutes. I’ve heard they sometimes just listen.
But what if they catfish me and rob me?

Dating apps feel like too much work. And I’m not even interested in men like that.
What I want is a beautiful escape: a great conversation and a really good fuck—with no strings and no struggle.
But then again, I don’t want a broke man either.
God—what even is this?

How did I get to the point where someone makes me feel so low?
So beneath myself?

I’ve always had self-esteem issues, but this... this is a new low.
I’ve thought about dying more in this marriage than ever before in my life.
But then I think of my kids.
Before them, it was my parents and the hope of who I could become that kept me alive.

Did I make a mistake marrying this man?
I want this to work. I really do. But it’s clear he thinks so little of me.

I don’t know how to shrink myself.
But I feel like I have to.
Maybe if I try harder, he’ll love me better.
But right now, I just want to disappear.

Nothing I do ever feels like it’s enough.
So really—what’s the fucking point?

Never Have I...

Have you ever been fucked so good that it seemed like someone pressed the pause button and all you can think of is that one magnificent fuck? Have you ever been fucked so good that you really wanted to buzz every one of your friends to explain and describe how your spirit left your body for seconds while your brains were being banged the fuck out? Have you ever been fucked so good that you get depressed the morning after wondering why you had been wasting your entire life and time having substandard sex? Have you ever been fucked so good that you had so many multiple orgasms, he started to panic and ask if you were having a stroke? Have you ever been fucked so good that you wanted to see your Biology teacher again just to smack his face and tell him how much of a bad job he did explaining sexual intercourse to your class? Have you ever been fucked so good that you considered giving testimony in church about how you discovered you could have breast, clitoral and vaginal orga...

12 years

If I remember clearly, I was about 13, 14 when you first called me. I was in JSS 3 and you were in your second year in university. You had asked my girlfriend and classmate to give you one of her friends and because she told you I had the biggest boobs, I was your choice. Idiot. LOL. Our 10-year age difference made you so appealing to me. You were mature and seemed to have a firm grip of everything in your life. When you didn’t, you would simply roll a blunt and say “man cannot kill himself”. LOL. You were so cool and hot, even though I had no picture of you. Luckily for me I had a Nokia phone back then so communication was easy. Text messages and calls were all we had back then and the fad between opposites sexes was flirting and sexting. You’re probably the reason I enjoy writing and reading literotica today. I remember how after we passed the introduction stage , you asked that we play a game called imagine where we would conjure “sexy” scenes...

The Bedroom Comedy

You know when you have to wait months to hit that thing and then you fuck up. As in eh, when you mess up seriously! Yeah, that *I wanna die feeling* happened to me o. Choi! Met this girl, can’t even remember how we met. She was sha on ma bbm. Correct babe, boobies to die for, light skinned hottie, better yansh *wipes sweat* And yes she was in lust with me. Sexy slim toh bad, the ladies are (ok were) tripping. Back to the story. The girl wanted the D, so p-setting was really easy. I didn’t have to convince her unendingly. She wasn’t in Lagos at that time. She was somewhere in Delta/Edo. And then you know, the sexual frustration grew cos we didn’t see. We exchanged messages, how much we wanted to bang each other ...that kinda thing. She had the dirtiest mouth, I literarily moved around with a hard-on. I made mouth mayne. DAMN!!! Telling her I would do that, how I would keep hitting it for 25minutes non-stop. The multiple orgasm I would give her, oh la la.  She wanted...
