The previous quote I posted has me thinking. The first line alone stood out, “We mistake sex for romance. Guys are taught that pushing a girl against a wall is romance. Sex is easy, you can do it with anyone..”
I don’t believe that I have ever mistaken sex for romance. Sex and romance are on two different spectrums. However, they can be combined. You can be romantic in many ways. There is the typical randomly sending flowers, candlelight dinner, writing a sweet note/letter, full body massage, you know all of those things. Then there are more practical forms of romance, which sometimes happen to be favorite forms. Let’s say you pick up on something that your significant other is interested in and you surprise them with it, a phone call because you just want to hear their voice, or a random trip to somewhere nearby; just the two of you escaping.
With romance you develop passion for one another. You know, when you feel so drawn to someone you can’t help but be near them; the simplest brushing of your skin against theirs sends a wave of chills down your spine. It’s euphoric - almost magical. Passion is the catalyst that usually leads to sex.
It is from experience that it leads to the BEST sex.
Meaningless sex is exactly that. Meaningless. It can be fun of course but it’s lacking. You hook up with someone and yes it feels great, you can enjoy it, but without passion or emotion there is nothing truly rewarding about it.
I have a california-king sized bed. If you aren’t familiar, they are huge. On one side of my bed there is my desk (the left side if I’m lying on my back) and on the right side (usually my daughters side) is a dresser. When I wake up I don’t get off at the side, I usually inch my way to the end of the bed and slide off. So is this considered the wrong side? I’m not really sure as to why I go about it this way, I just do. Maybe it’s because the door to my restroom is right across from my bed? Utterly pointless blog but I was thinking about that when I woke up.
