Would you?

I just finished reading "The Time Traveler's Wife". There's a scene in the story, which I loved btw, that kinda weirded me out. Have any of you read the book? No? you should, it's good. It's like a drug.

The basic outline is a love story, between a time traveling guy and a girl who doesn't move in time.

Without giving away any of the plot, I'll just say that he tends to meet himself quite a bit, and he spends time with himself even as a teenager.

The scene that got me thinking and that was weird, was as a teenager meets himself, both of him are teenaged, and well, yeah, I think they have sex. And I'm pretty sure it's intended to be anal. Now It's not explicit, it's just mentioned.

But seriously... if you were used to the fact of seeing yourself, and you were the same age... and you spent a lot of time with yourself.... would you fuck yourself or even give yourself a bj or hand job?

I honestly had to think about it. Would I fuck myself with my hormones raging at the age of 16? I don't think I would. Or maybe the temptation would get to me. But while thinking about it rationally, I don't think I would....

Yeah even I have to go with a "No" on that one...I would have fucked a lot of different people during my time travel, but never myself.

Hm...well I think it depends on whether my future me is self aware or not. My 29 year old mind, while being much more rational, has a much different and open approach.

Probably ends up in the 'intriguing thought but jarring if reality' bucket.

A... well you are definitely self aware. Take yourself and bring your self (as you know yourself now) backward a few days or a month in time...

But yes you're right, probably jarring...

My first reaction was "no" but then I started wondering. Would it be any different than masturbating? Wouldn't it be intriguing to know what it felt like? Haven't you ever wondered what your lover experienced when she/he gave you oral sex? Is it odd or is it enlightening, it would certainly give you empathy for the later lovers in your life.

Did the younger him know the older guy was himself? I would be very strange, and I never read the book or saw the movie, if I had to seduce myself. That part would be creepy.

OK, there was typo there.

While it is true that "I would be very strange..." what I meant to say was, "IT would be very strange..."

Cande said...

Yeah he definitely knew it was himself. He knew the "disorder" he had and knew that he time travelled so yeah... it would be a bit like masturbating... but different.

I saw the movie but have not yet read the book, but I kind of remember that scene. I think that if I were that character then I probably would have done the same.

If it was really me I guess it could have gone either way, it's not too different from masturbation in some respects. Also, there's the uniqueness and the chance to feel what you feel like from the perspective of another person.

Definitely yes. Absolutely.

I'd have to go with Advizor on this one. It would be strange but still worth keeping an open mind about. It would take self love to a whole other level. I'd probably go with either a handjob or a blowjob, though.

Hell yes. Blow job first, to see what it's like, then (after a good night's sleep tegether) anal for the same reason.

I would, but I'm rather vain :-)
