kotek001's blog post - It doesn't need to fuck to survive

There's a story of a well known hypnotherapist, Dr. Milton H. Erickson. He used the cactus as a metaphor for people, and would often get his patients to grow and save cactus as part of their therapy. The entire treatment of one of his patients, an active alcoholic, consisted of one lengthy session in which Erickson told the man about the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona and a particular species of cactus. This cactus has the ability to survive for three years without water which was a clear analogy to the patient's ability to survive without alcohol. I heard a version of the story in which Erickson had the patient to sit next to a cactus for half an hour each day for a month or so. "It doesn't need to drink to survive, and neither do I", his subconsciuos mind finally grasped. When I sat beneath the birch tree, this story immediately popped up in my mind. This photo is unusual, funny and absurd. And absurdity is very valuable. Last Sunday my creativity led me to even more absurd idea. I was looking at pine trees with shoots -- an obvious phallic shape. My thoughts started wandering. I ended up with an idea of... hmm... kind of a man and a tree satisfying each other. That could be an interesting reference to the photo with the birch tree. Photos with animals in sexual activity are forbidden on NN, but not with plants. So called plantophilia, I guess. I think they will likely add "or plants" to Content Restrictions if I post such a pic. "Contain Animals or Plants in sexual activity" -- wow, that would be weird. Unfortunately, I didn't take any photos because of bad weather.
