Blogging Virginity

Blogging virginity seems to be a really contrived and stupid term for a first post. It really does. However, I cannot escape the complete and utter fascination our Western culture has with anything remotely sexual; in actuality, my intent is to exploit that fascination with my own observations of "the sins of the flesh."

Translation: I'm a woman who likes sex. Kinda a lot.

The first problem I have encountered has been that I was raised in a Roman Catholic household. A very Roman Catholic household, I must say. I was taught that sex was a gift from God, not evil. It is evil when the gift of human sexuality is perverted in such a way that God doesn't see fit: masturbation, homosexuality, fornication, and adultery, to name a few. I was taught to remain a virgin until I was safely married. But that, I have to say, is a pretty ridiculous notion. There are so many reasons why that is a bad idea but I just say this in response: You test drive the car before you buy it.

Anyway, that's basically my soap box for the day about sex. There's probably going to be a significant amount of it in this blog: tips, strategies, embarrassing stories, questions, discussions, etc. Not all of my stories are about sex but certainly developing relationships, which I admit I have a significant problem in maintaining serious relationships with guys. Actually, as of this moment I loathe the very idea of a serious relationship. I cannot handle the drama, jealousy, emotional baggage, crazy exes, etc.

So yeah, um there's that. Currently, there's a summer fling and he's fantastic. The best part about the whole arrangement is that he's leaving at the end of July so I won't have to worry about seeing him again. More on that later.

XOXO
