Sex Droughts

whatever, there is "art stuff" scattered across the floor, not like pizza boxes and general filth. good to have sane clean surroundings, but feel like thoreau's injunction regarding clothes and job might apply here. if you have to redo even the externals of your lifestyle to conform to prospective relationship expectations or mere sex, then maybe that enterprise is misguided? same would apply for act cleaner-uppers... obv. sometimes i guess might be profitable but in general a waste of time

avoid squares imo

or, if you are a square avoid the lost or people who are honest enough to be hapless at times.

and the rest of y'all go fuck yourselves.

amen.

I'm pretty sure I have the worst taking someone home to a messy apt story ever but it's so bad i don't even think I can retell it.

o u tease out with it then

Come on, it's always TMI time here.

gonna parrot at least the first part of this next time someone is grossed out by my living situation, btw.

"i have crete paper and pistachio shells pritt-sticked to my shoe-soles"
"ah, but did thoreau not set up camp on rocky ground?"

also yeah c'mon erica you could be my ghost of christmas future here

Come on, it's always TMI time here.

first time i went to an ex-gf's place she made me hold off for like six hours while she cleaned her place top to bottom. so confounding. tbh prob would have found her natural slovenly environment more charming than her overcooked neurotic efforts at tidying up.

though that was charming in its own way.

aw. people can be so sweet.

fun fact: ants and mice can hide beneath art supplies just as easily as newspapers and food waste. they show up more slowly, but they show up anyway.

they like food better

i don't have ocd and imagine vermin hiding behind every other dust bunny. why have furniture at all? there could be critters hiding underneath that stuff.

ok, I was mostly making excuses

but tbh I am a guy who has had magazines/books/comics/music/electronics strewn everywhere and yeah, you end up with dust on everything and I have ruined things by stepping on, tripping on, or accidentally spilling drinks on more things than I can count

also there is a 0% chance you can ever have any sort of non-caged pet with that setup

having things is the problem.. still working on solution not involving arson :-/

yeh i apologize if sounded flippant

feeling smug b/c my place is tidier than it's been in two years

but historically, consistently have been on the slob side

yeh, get rid of everything. that's what i've been doing. hold on to a couple of weeks worth of clothes for the seasons, essential books music and maybe some keepsakes. and cooking utensils if necessary.

bookshelves everywhere imo

then if you move in with someone, especially a lady, you can carefully hide them in storage or get rid of them and have a haunted look in your eye that is only soothed by...

wait this is about sex droughts, you'd be getting laid by that point

Sad thing is, her place before the tidying-up effort probably still looked better than my place after an emergency tidying-up effort....

I'm quite good about keeping the bathroom clean and not leaving food out - I do have guests over alot, not to mention two flatmates. But my own bedroom goes to hell whenever I'm not in some semblance of a relationship.

lol at both those posts

My house is actually really clean, it's my car that looks like shit

always kind of a ~shock to step into someone's car that is a non-rental and devoid of random junk

ha ha i have occasionally used "i'd say sorry for not tidying, but i have in fact tidied"

still would prefer if this was in the dirtbag style thread rather than the sex thread

likewise i guess fucking in cars has or should have a diff. thread devoted to it. the fucking in cars. i mean. tht subject.

the fucking in cars. i mean. tht subject.

get high, go for a drive, fuck in the car

it's more difficult than it sounds

drought of sex in cars to be sure

sexcars why are they so bad and hated?

my van is neat and tidy and it's like girls still don't want to have sex in it! wtf?!

dude you have to hide the cigar box

I have a hilarious story 'bout gettin' busy in a car - or more accurately an unsuccessful attempt at same - from my college years. Funnier for other people than it was for me actually. Will recount if anyone's interested.

i for one love ribald stories

a friend of mine almost died doing that. cautionary tale/cautionary tail.

Tuomas the Train Engine or something

It's been proven by purely anecdotal evidence from my own experience that Thomas the tank engine causes autism. My four year old runs to me in a panic shouting 'Thomas is on and Henry is in the living room!!!!Quick!!!!' then we both run in and I change the channel while she lures her 1 year old brother's attention away from the TV.
In any case living with so much stuff everywhere can definitely cause some kinds of disorder. Mental I mean. I'm sure of it but I was raised to believe a house in order = a mind in order. That goes for handbags too, ladies.

This story doesn't end with you unknowing returning to a party with blood all over your face does it?

y'know that Thomas the Tank Engine is v. popular with kids with Autism, right?

More proof

Anymore evidence I might as well write a book and hit the morning show circuit

i've heard it theorized that the faces are easy for kids with Autism Spectrum conditions to read - they do look like some of the communication toys used in teaching

plus, well, they're trains

Really? My best friends kid (an avid fan of ttte btw) has no ability to comprehend anger and has never been angry nor reacted to someone else's anger. Those trains seem to be pissed off A LOT.

now that im separated lets see how long it lasts.

Kind of bummed about this topic, suddenly, momentarily. I don't want to have the sex w anyone, though, I just want to be around someone that I can look at often who will look back at me.

Well put.

So I'm hanging out with a real live woman tonight besides my soon to be ex wife, first time in 15 long yrs.

no pressure

I'm anxious as all hell. Already spilled an Italian sub all over myself

kinda like losing your virginity, it's something you just gotta do, and it will probably be a bit weird and awkward, but after it's over you should feel better.
