I begged to be turned into meat, held down, tied, blindfolded, slapped, pulled and strangled, entirely merged in the physical, all my swirling selves sucked into orgasm.

It would be an optimistic, hopeful act, guaranteeing belief in the future -- a declaration that things can be not only different but better.
