Eternity, life beyond death is guessed in the brush with another skin. It is at that molecular moment that we approach eternity. Sex is nothing more than an explosive reflection of an eternal life that does not belong to us, an attempt to project ourselves beyond our last tomorrow. Possibly it is the only pleasure without contraindications, except for the moral obstacles that we have historically endeavored to establish.
That is why a carnal encounter is enjoyed so much at all times. Passion is the only truth, the only reality that communicates senses, experience and pure empiricism through pleasure. A communion that awakens from your essence, without excuses or reproaches. Letting yourself be driven by passion is the greatest act of honesty you can ever do.
Mario Benedetti knows a lot about all this. In its book The best of sins presents us with ten carnal stories, about how the characters live or have lived their best moments of life, those in which they gave themselves up to passion.
From sex as an act of full unconscious love, to love with sex or improvised sex, to unbridled passion or even to the simple evocation of moments of passion as the best memory among so many years lived.
Passion and sex without specific ages. Eternal seconds in the story of the ten characters that inhabit this book full of eternity. A true jewel that you should read to remember the passion that lives in you, before it is too late, before carnal love becomes routine towards an eternity assumed as impossible.
The book is completed with some illustrations by Sonia Pulido consistent with the existential depth of the stories. Nothing deeper than the passion of the fusion between two bodies.
