I’m not real big on astrology, and of course, our complex human lives are ruled by far more than the stars. It’s not so simple to just point to a day on the calendar, and say that this is the day when I’ll fall in love, or this is when I’ll be horny, or even this is when I’ll be creative. But the positions of the Sun, Moon and other heavenly bodies do influence the tides and emotions of the Earth. So, it certainly makes more sense to expect the erotic on Eros Day than on, say, Valentine’s Day, a date which commemorates the death of a celibate Christian saint.

Don’t get me wrong; Valentine’s Day is cool, and so is Halloween, Mardi Gras and New Year’s Eve, all kinda sexy holidays that aren’t really about sex. Eros Day is the only holiday that really celebrates SEX in its fullest, most unabashed, orgiastic sense, when the planet Eros is closest to us, it’s energy strongest.

Can you feel it? Feel the Eros inside and all around you. Get in touch with your erotic self. Experience Eros in the air. Inhale deeply of the Breath of Life. Exhale and feel the Pleasure. Breathe in and out, in and out, in and out. That is EROS… In days of darkness, we must celebrate light. In days of terror, we must cultivate love. In days of war, we must live in peace. And all Eros Day Night, we must eat, drink, dance, sing, paint, run around naked, fuck, suck and be merry! Can I hear an amen? Can I hear an awomen?

Annie Body called today to say she is getting geared up for Eros Day where she will be reign as Aphrodite (Venus to the Romans), Goddess of Love, Sex and Beauty, and Mother of Eros. Annie is indeed blessed by the Spirits of Eros and Aphrodite. She is one of the most passionate, sexually expressive people I know, and it is more than fitting that she *play* Goddess of Love on Eros Day.

I decided to let Annie choose her Eros. And she has chosen the dashing Brad Baldwin (Alec’s younger brother?). Brad’s personal equipment bears a remarkable similarity to the distinctive curve of the Planetoid Eros which, being about 25 miles long, is also impressively well-hung.

Beyond Aphrodite and Eros, it looks like we are going to have a whole Pantheon of Multi-Talented Super-Sexy Gods and Goddesses here celebrating Erotic Love on Eros Day. But now I have to find my own Eros and go to bed. Sorry if it’s sounding commercial, but if you’re thinking about attending Eros Day 2006 in person, you ought to make your reservations now before the price goes up Friday night after midnight…
