After a decade out of high school, I keep in touch with only a few very good, very dear friends from my alma mater. And that's okay, because to be honest, there's not many classmates with whom I care to keep contact.
Tonight one of those friends and I got together for dinner. Back in the day, I had the biggest crush on her. This was before I realized I kind of liked men more. A lot more.
We've stayed connected over the course of the years, and last year found out we are more alike than not. Her husband and my boyfriend are roughly the same age. Though they've never met, they have a number of similarities between them: an unwillingness toward change, obliviousness about relationships, lovable, caring, and ultimately sweethearts of guys.
For some reason, the topic turned to sex. We were talking, I'm sure, about how a long distance relationship works, but that was a couple of glasses of wine ago. She explained to me that this was one of her concerns in her marriage, since she has a strong desire for physical intimacy. I explained that I shared that particular affliction for affection. Further, I contended that being in a long-distance relationship is problematic for me, especially since I'm a romantic at heart.
I looked at her across the table and said, "I have to explain sometimes that if I wanted to just jack off, I could. It's not like porn is difficult to find or anything. But on the other hand..."
Yep. Came right out of my mouth without thinking. Fruedian slip or just a stupid mouth? I even hoped she'd have missed it and I could reel the words back in before she noticed or had a chance to question. That didn't happen.
She busted out a laugh while I turned red.
After an embarrassing chuckle to myself, I explained that, simply put, I only meant that there was something to physical intimacy with your partner, and that it can't be equated by self-stimulation.
Oh well, at least it got a laugh.
