>Dante's courtly love for Beatrice continued for nine years, before the pair finally met again. This meeting occurred in a street of Florence, which she walked along dressed in white and accompanied by two older women. She turned and greeted him, her salutation filling him with such joy that he retreated to his room to think about her. In doing so, he fell asleep, and had a dream which would become the subject of the first sonnet in La Vita Nuova.

I suspect Beatrice was a literary invention, with a an esoteric meaning, and didn't even exist as an actual person.

If you’re trying to convince a bunch of people on 4channel that you’re superior to one of the greatest writers in history, you’re probably a huge faggot. Just an FYI

>>he retreated to his room to think about her >>In doing so, he fell asleep Love is different than lust. You've never felt it divorced from its lust otherwise you realize how that ideal is shattered by it. This distinction becomes more and more blurred as years go on and goes away for most men by say their 20s as sexual arousal becomes increasingly associated with the object in question, but it easily could have extended throughout his entire life, especially in a time where the Church dictated society. Especially Dante, that had he lived today would be easily diagnosed by me with scrupulosity. Dante was fervently religious and he probably felt a pure, unrelenting romantic attraction. To speak from experience, I recall a woman I was infatuated with many years ago, and contrary to what you might think, I never had one lustful thought toward her. She had a standard of perfection that was unmatched. It was like looking at a fine statue. Her aesthetic beauty, exceeded any sexual. I would dream of her, and she appeared angelic rather than succubustic. Years later, when she was gone from my life and actual loves had gone by, I discovered a porn actress was a falsified facsimile of her; similar features, ratios, but something was off, even satanic. And what may seem paradoxical, arousal was suddenly killed by the mere semblance of this creature to the angel and I turned immediately away as if I had insulted the mere memory of the woman I knew. The masses today accept lust as such a determining point of life that all other emotions and analyses are blotted out, and I find it somewhat sad that the overwhelming majority of other men cannot relate to what I and Dante have experienced.
Which porn star? A bit curious (not for the reason you’d think).

Me too user. Has happened three times with me. My heart has been shattered each time.

I will not say. Not that I think she would ever browse this website, it would be a poor puzzle piece to a real human being I once knew. Moreover, porn is the downfall of many, a terrible habit that will erase the distinction between love and lust after some time of indulgence. I remember when a simple name could send me into a search that spiraled into minutes and sometimes hours of not just wasted but tainted time. Mine was never shattered by her. She was engaged, showed me considerable kindness, and when I saw that the man she had married resembled me some years later after a search, I felt at worse, bittersweetness rather than heartache, and at best, I was happy to see that she was happy.
Leo Moore
I wasn’t asking because I was going to search the name, I was asking because there’s someone I have in mind. If you just posted the initials, my question would be answered.

She existed, but in true courtly fashion, he used an ideal vision of her to better his soul.
I would have related to you when I was 16. I was entirely pure at 16, I would not even think of kissing a woman unless I was entirely sure that I was going to marry her. It wasn't immediately apparent to me but my first girlfriend was the typical impulsive, borderline personality disorder teen girl who is addicted to drugs and attention. She lied to me, hid things from me, I loved her too much and it hurt me. She mocked me for my innocence and submitted me to her sexuality and since then I haven't been the same. I used to see myself and one of my closest friend as christ-like figures but I feel that the both of us have been corrupted by our first loves. I would want to know more about you so I will drop my discord, or you can respond to my questions with a reply on here. Have you ever felt strong lust? Have you ever felt struggle against lust? What age are you? Do you feel to be a christ-like figure? Do you see hope for me regaining my innocence? avena#5596

Im going to add that I was a hentai addict when I was 12, got over it for a few years, then when I had my heart broken I went back to hardcore porn. I feel that I have an intense pain in my heart whenever I cease to masturbate. I feel a flame of pain or passion in my chest that I must extinguish at least every few days or I will be in severe pain.
Brandon Peterson
based I was thinking about this and Beatrice earlier today funnily enough, and I share your sentiments....well other than the porn bit. i hope I never see something like that.
Dante was maried with children you know. And if his youth poems are any indication he was probably involved in a number of rowdy affairs with his boys. Beatrix was just something apart.
