I am well aware that it is my own mental shortcomings that have gotten me into this situation but I prefer to blame it upon my two X chromosomes. I swear if I had been lucky enough to have been born a man my life would be so much simpler.
Now, don't get me wrong. I understand that being XY has its own challenges. There is the facial hair thing, constant need to fart, higher insurance rates, prostate issues and, most daunting of all, dealing with women. I must say, I've met a lot of women and I realize that most of us are freaking nuts. The one ability that men have (other than falling asleep after sex) that I truly envy is the ease in which they can sleep with someone and not develop feelings for them.
That is the crux of my problem. This is an indifference that I have not yet mastered. In fact, I believe it will never be a part of my skill set. For me this really sucks. My last relationship was a nightmare (see my first blog) and am very reluctant to enter a new one. Unfortunately, I am almost 36. I now chant "God, I'm horny" at every red light or any other unfilled moment. In short, I am peaking. I now understand the torture of being a teenage boy. I hate it. To solve this problem I recently started sleeping with the seemingly perfect man for this situation.
I've know this guy for a long time and truthfully he was never on my radar as a potential sex partner. I was surprised and slightly apprehensive when the possibility of being sex/cuddle buddies came up. Then it hit me….there was no way I could fall for him. I had three very solid concrete reasons for this belief. And so I slept with him. It was amazing.
It wasn't just in the top 10 because of the sex alone. It was the conversation before hand, the way he smelled, tasted, felt, moved and laughed. It was that I liked his music and him offering to take my dog outside. It was how well we fit together while we slept. I was very pleased with the situation. It seemed as though my prayers (no, I don't REALLY pray) had been answered.
Then it started to happen. In between hooking up I thought of him. I noticed that he wasn't clingy yet very considerate at the same time (major bonus points!). I enjoyed it when he pinged me on IM and looked forward to talking with him. I attributed these things to the great sex and my desire to have him again.
There was more great conversation, music, laughter, sex and cuddling. It was all I ever wanted. Shit! ?! IT WAS ALL I EVER WANTED!? WTF? This was not supposed to happen. Those three reasons were way too good. I was not supposed to think about him when he wasn't there. I wasn't supposed to think about the way he smelled. I wasn't supposed to want to take him places with me. I wasn't supposed to want my friends to meet him. I could have dealt with all of that, I suppose. What I couldn't deal with was wanting to call him Friday when I had a bad night. Damn! In a moment of clarity, I realized that I really liked him and that was just WRONG.
Don't get me wrong, I want a relationship. I want to feel that way about someone. But, damn, those three reasons are really good and there is really no way around them. My friends and I managed to whittle away two of them but one remains. I must admit, I think this would all be too much for him to take anyway.
So I texted him that I couldn't see him anymore. If I was a man I wouldn't have had to deal with these feelings. I could have been content with a perfect piece of ass. I could be sexually fulfilled at this moment. But, no, I had to go and have feelings for him and ruin it all. Instead, I am searching for the best deal on a rabbit vibrator while images of his cum face flash in my memory. I blame all of this on my two X chromosomes.
