Dirty deeds

There was a day that I thought I would be fine "thinking like a man".   There was a day when I thought I could just "hit it and quit it", without getting emotionally attached.  Now I am not so sure.  Don't get me wrong there was a few times in my life that was true and certainly possible.  Now it is a different story, maybe.  

Us ladies are just wired differently.  Our evolutionary background suggests that the deck is stacked against us. When girl meets boy (and girl likes boy), the brain releases a chemical love cocktail: Dopamine produces feelings of bliss, norepinephrine makes the heart race, and we are driven to want sex. Then, during sex, the brain triggers the release of oxytocin — the warm fuzzy of the hormone world — which leaves us wanting to bond with the person we've just done the horizontal mambo with.   That being said....it appears to be a very scientific reason females want more after the dirty deed is done.  

My heart is in New York.  My body is here.  While I thought I had the answers to how to make this work, I must admit, I have no freaking clue.  I only know that I do want it to work.  I do believe we will be together again, hopefully sooner than later.

For now, it isn't worth the risk of that need for emotional attachment after casual sex.  I will not take a chance on lessening this wonderful feeling I have inside my heart... all to satisfy physical urges.

For now, I guess I should stay stocked up on batteries.....and fly solo.

  1. All you can basically do is hang in there. It's what commitment means. I finally stopped my wife and I from having to
    deal with "For richer or poorer. Right now we're dealing with "in good times and in bad." This too, I guess will pass, till "in sickness and in health."
    Commitment must have meaning. "The one that got away," however many, is a powerful misstep.
