For me, one of the biggest negatives about not being in a relationship is not having sex regularly. Even though I have a sex drive the size of the Atlantic, I don’t particularly enjoy sleeping with random men. I suppose I could look for random hook-ups as I am sure there’s plenty of men who would be interested in casual sex. But that’s not like me. Instead, I recycle and fulfill my sexual needs with an ex.
With an ex the act is fun, safe and non-committal. As an added bonus, my current recycling project lives hundreds of miles away means I don’t have to pretend that I actually like him. Rather than talking or arguing we just have sex–all the time, I’m talking Costco-sized amounts of sex…enough to last for a while.
In my opinion, Costco-sized sex is a non-stop all day/weekend romp session. This means setting an alarm at 5am to start the day with the bang (literally) and doing it over and over, going well into the night. It’s having sex so often that by the time we’re completely done I’m sore and exhausted with no desire to do it again….at least not until the next time I see him.
Although Costco-sex is not ideal, it’s definitely better than Home Depot sex–the “do it yourself” kind.
