I love my friends. I really do....especially when they are honest with me. I mean, really honest.
See, here's the thing: I like sex. I love everything about it. I love up, down, sideways, anyway you can think of. But its not the actual act I love. Its the intimacy of it all, the part when you no longer are just one entity. As much as I enjoy it, I am cautious with whom I choose as I partner. I am fully aware that sex does not equal love. I know a man won't magically try and marry me if he is so infatuated with me because of sex. I know this very well....
I am far from promiscuous, but that is the picture that I paint. I know this. I didn't care...I rolled with it. I have no problem expressing myself vocally about my trysts, or explaining the many techniques and strategies of fellatio. I have helped many a friend and foe with their love lives and quite frankly, I'm proud of that.
Many people however still shy away from the reality the sexual encounters occur. Being raised in a Latin and Catholic family by a mother who was deflowered on her wedding night, the topic of sex in itself is taboo and shunned. Apparently, sexual though the Latin culture is, and even though women and young girls are taught to be objects of desire, pleasure conjuring devices that cater to and succumb to their husbands fantasies, needs and perverse thoughts they, as women must only exhibit their own pleasures and desires behind closed doors and in the dark. Clearly, I am not that way.
Sultry told me about my lack of sexual inhibitons. She applauded my individuality, my no-holds bar approach, but warned that I may be just a tad too open... She's only known me a few months, yet she was able to see right away that maybe I should tone it down a bit. I put her comments under my "Constructive Criticism" file somewhere in a corner of my mind.
Trini mentioned I need to write down what it is I want from my ideal man and take real time to actually think about it. This came shortly after I expressed my confusion over the outcome of a Tryst that I thought was going very well....for you see, I quickly became attached to the other half of this Tryst and wondered why the calls ended when our deal hadn't been broken-at least, not on my part.
When I sat down wondering why Tryst was no longer calling, why I attract so much attention from unsavory guys, I realized it was one thing: my sex.
Frankly, I don't know what Tyst's deal was, but I never heard from him again. I really liked him. I really did. I totally fell for him-unlike me at all. Well, actually, it is quite like me to fall for a guy. I must be honest: I'm a hopeless romantic.
I wear my heart on my sleeve. I did not expect to like him as I did. In my mind I thought we were just messing around, no commitments, no problems. Somewhere between debating political candidates and sweet kisses, started fall for this guy. Before I knew it, my pulse started to quicken at the thought of him. I started to lose my breath when he touched me....but I did a good job keeping it from him. I knew nothing would come of our Tryst, so I had no choice but to swallow my pride and keep my feelings hidden.
One question begged to be answered: if I knew nothing were to come of this Tryst, why was I a part of it?
And so, I decided I would take a break from guys...well, kinda. I'm taking a much needed break from any and all sexual activity. Yes, Julia is pledging chastity. Hard to believe huh? I need to though. My heart can't heal its wounds if I'm allowing myself to lget into drama and confusion over something that can be avoided
Its more than that too. I want to discipline myself. I know that I can, and I know that I really need to follow through with this plan.
I want to get to know myself more, I want to tone down the sexual side and show more of my substance: my integrity, my mind, my personality. The irony is: I worked so hard to become a sex kitten only now its like my curse. Lol. Who would've thought back in the day when I yearned for attention, when I felt like an ugly duckling, when I stumbled over myself and giggled at the thought of saying words like "penis", "breasts", and "vagina" that I would want nothing more than to run from this attention. Nothing more than to hide and be looked at for everything but my body and the things it could do or get done to.
See? That's why I love my friends. Only real friends will stop you waaaay before you become a ho and help you find what you are really looking for. So, I am happy to say, its been a while now since I looked for the wrong thing in the wrong place, and I feel great. Thanks girls for your honesty and the gentile manner in which you addressed me
