It’s ridiculous to think that for over 20 years of my life I was basically asexual. Entirely! No interest in sex whatsoever. As a rather proud and vocal virgin, I was in the perfect position to mock anyone and everyone. “Oh, but I’ve only had sex with two people” “Yeah? Well I haven’t had sex with any, you slut.”
FILM
I was under the notion that, like in the films that sheltered my childhood – people only kiss. Films place a great importance on a kiss, it seems to be what every hero hopes to return to after his adventure. It’s what brings about infatuation in the first place. It’s what directors will film again and again and again until it’s just “perfect”.
I was under the notion that, like in the films that sheltered my childhood – that sex was the end point. That every piece of tension, every time a potential couple are caught about to get into it, look embarrassed and stop… It’s all to lead to a very sexy climax at the end. Get rid of bad guy. Kiss. Fuck. Flash forward to the beach with some children. Roll credits.
No. Just no. This is what twisted every part of my development. The very idea that people have sex once and then feel amazing forever. That it just ends there. It stops. The idea that sex was so precious that it was a big deal, a poignant and pivotal moment in life. This is what led to me covering my ears and yelling LALALA whenever anyone mentioned sex to me. This was my key for being impossible to seduce. I had a very strange, very terrible reaction actually, and I wanted to write it down while I still remember what it was like.
PERSONAL
There was something that twisted inside me, my stomach left in knots every time one of my female friends would mention a sexual experience. It was like I was going to be sick. It was like heartbreak. There was nothing sexy about it. I had a physical inability to process the information, and reverted to childish dismissal “eww gross” “yuck” or sometimes even anger “but they’re shit!”. Eventually people got used to that, they accepted my asexuality. I effectively controlled their behaviour until the word “sex” was eliminated and occasionally replaced with “making the baby Jesus cry”. It became a part of who I was. The perfect gentleman who didn’t want sex, writhing with discomfort.
We all start out virgins, we grow up and our friends are virgins. Suddenly you hear that the person you had a crush on was caught having sex at the local swimming pool. Then your friend tells you their plan to lose their virginity at a party, some original idea they coincidentally dreamed up after watching American Pie. Maybe you were that person who started young, the first among your peers coerced into it by older influences, replacing past mistakes with new ones. But where do you find yourself when you’re the last person in your world who isn’t having sex? Fuck the 40 Year Old Virgin. Even it predictably ends with overly important sex. Where do we end up after it though? Credits don’t just start rolling up our fucking faces.
STUPID RULES
We find ourselves wanting more sex, and it’s fair enough. The human body is designed that way, but the human mind is another story.
- I’ll only have sex after I’m married/I won’t ever marry
- I’ll only have sex if I love the person/I want to be detached
- I’ll only have sex in an exclusive relationship/I don’t want to limit myself
- I’ll only have sex after the 3rd date/1st date’s fine if we hit it off
- I won’t have sex with friends/Friends with benefits are convenient
- I won’t have sex with “sluts”/I love knowing who I can go to
- I won’t have one night stands/Give me alcohol and I’m good to go.
- I’ll give oral, but we’re not having sex-sex. I’m Catholic?/(Sorry. WTF?)
- It’s not cheating, it’s just cybersex/phone sex/smutty text
- It’s not cheating, it’s not like I’m in love with the other person, it’s just sex
- I’ll only let someone have sex with my partner if I’m there too
- Rough sex is demeaning vs rough sex is hot with someone trusted
Everybody fucks.
Whether it’s because they’re lonely, sexually frustrated, wanting an ego boost, or just enjoy it like a sport it doesn’t matter. What’s really pissed me off, and messed with me for a good 20 years is women pretending they DON’T fuck. Dangling their vaginas like carrots in front of a donkey, using sex as some kind of incentive to control men’s behaviour. Acting like they absolutely HATE how “men are all rah rah rah sex this, and sex that, I just want a guy who’s interested in ME” adding that they don’t want sex, and that they can go without it but men can’t. Bullshit.
You spend a billion years making yourself look more attractive. Is that to try and turn men off because you hate sex so much? And when you do all that, you go to all that effort just to assert your GIRL POWER to not have sex, and you get ANGRY when a man looks for it elsewhere. Well done, you. Anyway, back to me:
My internal monologue ran rampant as I processed every desire and criticism uttered by every woman I’d ever interacted with. “Okay, I’ve got to be polite. Well spoken. Not be looking for sex. Financially stable whilst generous with money. Gentlemanly. Interesting. Funny.” but little did I know this was all a ploy to throw me off track.
After becoming some sort of pseudo-aristocratic piano-playing conservative, with a faux-British accent, humorous demeanour, throwing money about carelessly, while calling everyone “sir” and “madam” I was a Goddamn caricature of a human being. Entertaining yes, but desirable I was not.
Having since resolved all of these issues, and now being the (cough) sexy, sexy man that I am… I wanted to try looking at things more objectively, more mathematically. All you nosey types might enjoy this bit:
THE EXPERIMENT
Presently, until some of them read this blog, I have 65 female friends on Facebook. I have calculated and evaluated that would WILLINGLY “do” 33/ 65 of them. That’s half. I counted. Want me to rank them? Didn’t think so ugly.
I made a sexy spreadsheet (to destroy after). The numbers are calculated rather than estimated. I’d never really crunched numbers before. They were broken down as follows (some automatically being greyed out due to a lack of attraction or simply because I couldn’t think of them in “that way”):
Would I do it with them? Y/N
Would they do it with me? Y/N/Maybe
Are they in Australia? Y/N
Are they available? Y/N
As you can see, I’ve put a lot of effort into sinking to a new low.
Now if half of those women also wanted to have sex with me, then I could potentially have sex with with 1/4 of the women I talk to (on Facebook, test sample 20th Sept 2011). However thinking about who might flirt with me, there were 10 who I thought would, 13 I was unsure of, and 10 who would probably rather have sex with a deranged hobo if it meant avoiding me.
Surprisingly balanced. This is freaking me out now. So let’s knock that down to 23/65.
Now of those 23, let’s cross off anyone who isn’t single, or local enough for me to feasibly encounter within my lifetime. Done. The number remaining has almost halved again and we come to 10/65. (3 of whom I actually like as people, as of 20th Sept 2011, subject to change).
What does this all mean? Well, mostly it means that I’ve got lots of time on my hands, but really, my point is this… The reason I started counting was this: with all the people I could be maybe having theoretical sex with RIGHT NOW, instead of WRITING THIS DRIVEL. Why aren’t I? Why do people put up such ridiculous fronts?
FINAL THOUGHT
Why is it that couples attending church seem to get married so young? Love? I love bacon, I’m not going to wait for a ceremony to bless us. Often it’s because they’re tired of waiting to fuck. If they already were fucking, then they marry to fuck guilt-free from the church.
Why is it that people who’ll send naked pictures of themselves via MMS will bitch and moan when they see someone in their underwear in a profile picture? Or why do our parents act so disgusted when they see sex on TV when they’ve OBVIOUSLY fucked at SOME point or another to bring about our existence.
Why is it that people fuck someone other than their partner, and have the nerve to get upset when their partner does the exact same thing? Why not stick to the basic principles of human jealousy and fuck one person at a time as agreed for a happy healthy never-ending sex life? WHY? Because of bullshit double standards, and a human tendency to lie to yourselves about the most pointless shit.
Drop the fucking façade. More specifically, drop the “Fucking Façade”. We’re all filthy, deal with it. Either fuck, or fuck off.
