Humour or sniping.

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I have a married couple as clients whose life together is quite peculiar.

Now that humour has been brought up from various angles, I think it is

worthwhile to bring this two-some up.

I know it is extreme what they ended up with, but they started out very

humorously in their relationship.

I knew these people before they became clients as people who always left a

raunchy kind of happiness behind with sour notes ringing in the background.

As I got to know them better and observed their conversations it became

clear to me that their way of communication was only through quips and

clever remarks, often quite hilarious, they were really on the ball. But

behind it was always some hurt that they did not seem to mind, gripes

really, often cloaked in coarse laughter. They were very 'realistic'..."Such

is life." They also smoked and drank quite on the heavy side.

Their humour was primed, so to say, with sarcasm, little pricks and teases.

That was not why they became clients though. The lady one morning came to

our place as she had almost been strangled... while making love.

Their humour was a gallows humour... quite nasty. Their love making

eventually had them hanging from ropes and chains. Paining each other became

their enjoyment, their eroticism had taken that turn.

Now this is extreme as these two got to a point that only by being

incredibly mean to each other could they get some form of warped bliss (?)

going, and they needed more and more. They got into reading some pretty

heavy stuff from the web and started experimenting with pain induced sex.

Eventually they almost strangled each other.

It started with humour? Was this humour? What is humour really...?

If there is sniping in it, griping, a getting back at somebody with quick

repartees, needling comments in the guise of teases etc... it ain't no

humour.

A :-) happy face does not do the job.

 

These two are finally willing to check their language and take it from

there. After some serious ultimatums were agreed upon.

A long road...

 

Yes we started with language... after all they tried to get at each other's

throat...

 

Love, Wim
