Valerie Fox Where to start when you haven't had sex in quite some time Bring your sleeping bag and pretend it's a sleep-over. After all, possession is 4/5 of occupancy. I read that in a manual once. In a bookstore. Pretend you have two lives, if not two thousand. Stimulants, such as cut-out cookies laced with designer drugs, are about as hip as a personal metal detector. Colonize your cousin's thickening plot. This is exotic and gives you the chance to be late. Or, try this fish and vinegar. If that doesn't work, try crab and artichoke casserole. Casseroles are sexy. p.s. You have colonized my thoughts long enough. Can't wait another five minutes or until the next Liliputian war. Mix the dough with your hands and fingers. Get your feet wet. Think about how you say it. Nothing can beat a euphemism, if delicate; though when handled roughly, they are just so much trade and sugar. |
