I’ve masturbated twice since my post a week ago. I have not used pictoral pornography (yay!). Masturbating to sexy stories is a tradition as old as time and I won’t try to escape it. Rather than the woman being the object, the experience is the object. Right?
My random hookup four weeks ago I think may have marked something of a turning point in my attitude towards picking up/hooking up/casual sex. February of senior year of college (two years ago today) was the beginning of the latest phase, marked by a philosophy that sex is fun, and that my main mission in going out is to take the most active role possible in finding girls who agree with me. If you are entering this phase, or are in a position where you think sex would probably be fun, but you are too nervous/inexperienced/shy to do anything about it, I want to do nothing to discourage you. As regrettable as certain actions I took were, especially in those experimental days, they were invaluable learning experiences and my ability to approach girls and evaluate my chances accurately is paying dividends.
I have been reflecting very negatively towards my latest encounter. A girl struck up a conversation and, with only a subconscious evaluation (vis a vis the binary scale of attractiveness) I plotted my course and never looked back. Cut to several hours later and I am in bed, drunk, with this girl who is not really my type, joylessly plugging away (use your imagination).
There was absolutely nothing wrong with her. Great face, a body type that plenty of men would find perfect, and a fiery personality. I won’t forget her quizzing me on my pornography habits, or the extreme discomfort I felt at the time.
The point is, I only slept with this girl because I had programmed myself to try under any circumstances above room temperature. Nearly every day since then I’ve thought about calling her (she didn’t take my number, but gave me hers), and I haven’t because… I can’t think of what I would say.
”Hey, its me. Just calling to make sure you’re not pregnant or crying yourself to sleep every night or anything crazy like that. Don’t really want to hook up again, or go out; just feel kind of weird about the whole thing.”
I have two opportunities for my Second Good Relationship Ever (the first was last spring, as recounted in this blog). One is purely speculative, but comes with all the positive signals plus the mythical LAFS (love at first sight) phenomenon attached to it. The other is very real, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with this girl except that she might not be crazy enough for me. After inviting her back to my place saturday (which she thankfully declined), I realized I need to change my approach. Not that I won’t fuck her if I get the chance…
