Oh, so THAT'S why!!

A woman I've come to truly respect suggested going on a period of celibacy, saying that it really helps put things into perspective.

Hm. It's unintentionally been about a month without sex. I'm doing good. I don't think I've ever gone this long without having a phone number handy for such occasions. But I'm doing okay. I've turned down sex from people I had history with, and I have no problems with turning down sex from people I barely know. I revisited a few of my friendships, and with (good) sex out of the picture (because it's only the good sex that impedes our judgement, LOL) I've come to see them for what they really are.

Moral of the story: Sex allows you to make excuses for unjustifiable behavior.

This is what the battered and the wise have been warning us "free spirited" young'ns about for the longest, huh? LOL

Well, the best lessons learned are the ones you learn on your own. I'm so stubborn that it takes me a lot longer to get to where you are now.

Grin. Thank you for your guidance.

Love,
The Dynasty
