A release beyond his control

A reflection on sex and laughter.

To feel a man release, then collapse atop me in uncontrollable laughter, is to bear witness to sheer power.

It is a vulnerable and acutely joyful reprieve from stoicism, and it is beyond his control.

And I never feel so primal as when I’m pinned beneath him in these moments.

It is both weight and a lightness, and it feels warm.
