Love it.

To people who read older lady: Douching is INCREDIBLY bad for your vaginal flora. Yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis is not a "clean snatch."

I'm also celibate at the moment. By choice, yes, but due to the lack of intimacy on offer by the men I've dated in NYC. I'm plenty horny, I love sex, I fantasize, masturbate and am turned on by men right and left. But I won't give in to the temptation, since I know how much is missing in the bit of casual sex I've had when I was trying to date. Now, I won't go to bed with a man in hopes that it will extend to him whatever feelings I'm having. I won't know exactly when the right time is, but I do know the time is not now.

That was a beautiful piece of writing and, I think, quite accurate. As a woman in my twenties, I see that sex for my female friends (and myself, for a while) has become nothing more than a good story. The use it as a way to bond with their female friends. It's more about getting together for brunch with the girls after and telling them about the crazy night you had than it is about the experience itself.

I was thinking it might be reverse psychology. Maybe I'll use that line in my personals ad. If it is serious, dude get over yourself. 80's mope rock was only decent in the 80's and is now just happy nostalgia. Sex is here, now, forever. Take some dance lessons so you can learn to handle a woman in a way that doesn't hurt her and that she enjoys. It will please your pretentious musical self to be able to enjoy music kinetically as well as aurally. Trust me on this one.

I'm sorry, I completely missed the point of what you were saying because you are so fucking beautiful. Marry me; (it's legal in all 50 states!) I will keep you in platform shoes and satin camisoles and glitter scarves for as long as your heart desires.

Wow! Glad I'm in my 50's. When I was young, horny and trying everything, it just branded me a slut. But at least I enjoyed what I was doing. I decided right from the start that mediocre sex isn't worth the douche afterward. (This is from the pre-condom days, when women who had any sense of keeping a clean snatch actually douched.)

His first girlfriend would yell "hurry up" and "make it hurt less"? Dude, it sounds like he was possibly raping her. NOT Cool.

Dude doesn't have to have sex if he doesn't want to. Nothing gay or wrong with that.
--wtf

This only makes me think that when you meet Snow or Violet you will be really bad fuck. Sex is only good with practice and experience. Sorry that is a fact. Taking your self off the market well you have to do what you have to do but I think it is about more than just sex. But if it is about sex you arent going to become better at it. Perhaps you should find Jesus or therapy.

Yeah, romance is dead. Just check out "The Purity Myth" piece. People are only interested in the big ideas about sex, whether it makes you cooler, dirtier, good, or bad, the politics of it, what it says about women, more bullshit, etc. No one's in it for the meaningful connection or even the enjoyment anymore. That's why it's nice to fall in love first, if you guys still believe in that kind of thing.

you don't have to be gay to skip sex for awhile. i think that was me from age 19-22. now of course i want to fuck "you" like an animal, know "you" from the inside, etc. also, i love titties. that is all.

Of course - musicians understand the space between the notes. It makes sense.

If the one comment is true, then maybe I am not straight and I don't know it. What I do know is that, even though I am a woman (and hence some of the details do not apply), I have very similar feelings.

i had the same reaction you did: jesus. you're not fucked up, you're just gay. and if you really have a big dick, you will be welcome. side note: ron would easily fit in kate, as long as she helps him rise to the occasion.

Wow. That was some intense writing! Good read, and hope you get over it. Or not.
