Picasso

Casual sex is like a paintbrush in the beak of a dodo bird.

Paintbrushes were created to express and put into being an artist’s mind. A paintbrush in the beak of a dodo bird, however, would be a bummer.

I picture the bird pogo-ing around in ecstatic delight of its discovery of the paintbrush and then using it as a q-tip or a shovel.

The whole scenario makes me pity the dumb bird who has no idea what a paintbrush is really for.

In one of my Take 5 Devotionals, it talks about sex as being a strong intimate bond with your spouse and not to be broken easily. The analogy used was that people are like tape and when you put two pieces of tape together, they loose their "stickiness" and therefore it becomes harder for the tape or people to bond.

That is definately a unique similie for casual sex. However, I think the dodo bird would have a very diffucult time pogo-ing around with a paintbrush as it has no spring and the poor dodo has no hands to hang on to it. Perhaps he does, however, use it to brush all his friends' hair.

Actually, the dodo bird isn't using the paintbrush as a pogo stick. The bird itself is simply pogo-ing with no pogo stick. I actually imagined the bird hopping around ecstatically like birds do as if the bird was a pogo stick; it was so delighted in its discovery.

But, I, too, after reading my own writing a couple times, ran into the problem of a dodo bird using a paintbrush as a q-tip. Does it even have ears big enough to shove the paintbrush into?
