Ok – here’s just a little food for thought – please don’t send me crap saying I’m going to hell because of this –
Anyway – so I was joking with some girlfriends last night about this “troller” we saw sitting at the bar trying to pick up women. Actually he picked up a few right away and they were buying him drinks. I enjoyed their performance myself. The way he’d laugh at their jokes, the way they’d give him a subtle rub on the arm or leg. The way he’d brush his hair out of his eye. It was comical on many desperate levels. It was like they were working through scenes of “How to Pick Up a Bar Whore 101”.
So that led to more jokes upon jokes and I busted out with “Hell I’m about ready to pay for it myself just so I can get some.” Ok well that was pretty much a joke. But then…. Tick tock tick tock… I started thinking about it. I was going to add on to that, “well depends on who it was with and what kind of discount I got” but I decided to leave it alone. But let’s be serious. I don’t pick up guys in a bar – for many reasons, some of which I would hope are obvious ones. I mean yes, if I really wanted sex, I could probably go find some relatively easily. Granted my choices are much slimmer now than they were in my glory days, but whatever. Soooo then that got me thinking, hell if really just wanted sex, it would totally make sense to pay for it. I mean if the “sex” is the thing I’m after, it means I don’t have to worry about some schmucks personality or what he does for a living, or mental health for that matter. What I really need is someone who knows what the hell they were doing, and who would better know than a professional!!!
Am I right??? Seriously – if I’m going to get one good screw, why would I waste it on some guy who is probably drunk and could be like the one-minute-man!?!? Maybe he’s lacking in size or girth. I mean if I’m getting a one shot sex deal, why waste it? I’d be smart to put my one shot to good use. Make sure I get my money’s worth right! Hell, I wanna guy that can last longer than me and maybe even do some damn tricks!!! Who would I want… Tweedle-Dee over Tweedle-DAMN!
So – in reality – I’m probably not going to be paying for sex any time soon – but I just thought that I posed an interesting question and wondered if anyone else had something to add to my very one sided conversation!
I can't speak for anyone else, but in my experience the most enjoyable intimate times I've had have been those shared with someone I deeply love. For all the glorification given to instant gratification, the long-term burdens of it (guilt, worry about disease, and, in my experience, one-night stands make it more difficult to develop a deeper relationship with someone you really love later) are simply not worth it. All of those are reasons I've regretted doing some of the things I've done. Also, I think there's an emotional cost to being intimate with someone, and it creates psychic scarring when the relationship is superficial which makes a long-term relationship more difficult. It seems to me that if one pursues a relationship with another who has a history of superficial relationships, one should be prepared to deal with the difficulty s/he will have in developing a deep and stable relationship. Of course, all these problems can be surmounted with enough work, I think, but the total cost should be considered. Movies present an unrealistic portrayal of instant gratification that make it seem like there are no long-term consequences. I think that people are not well-suited for such things, for the reasons I've given. A good relationship is worth the wait, even if society doesn't produce many people worth having a good relationship with.
