"In the sacred, the obscene, the sexual, there is always a wild
laugh waiting, a short passage of silent laughter, or crone-nasty
laughter, or the wheeze that is a laugh, or the laugh that is wild
and animal, or the trill that is like a run on the musical scale.
Laughter is a hidden side of women's sexuality; it is physical,
elemental, passionate, vitalizing, and therefore arousing. It is a
kind of sexuality that does not have a goal, as does genital
arousal. It is a sexuality of joy, just for the moment, a true
sensual love that flies free and lives and dies and lives again on
its own energy. It is sacred because it is so healing. It is sensual
for it awakens the body and the emotions. It is sexual because it
is exiting and causes waves of pleasure. It is not one-
dimensional, for laughter is something one shares with oneself
as well as with many others. It is a woman's wildest sexuality."
