Dec 2013

Being enthusiastically jumped and, erm, worshipped, sometimes several times a day..

I think I'm still being a bit lighthearted about it all, not lacking seriousness about the issues but looking at it as a formerly free and loose young man in NYC, with the utmost respect for your choice to say no as much as mine. I know women want sex, and I know they're pickier. I know that as a result of that, to make a woman with whom you haven't had sex before wish to bed you can be a challenge, and that you need to rise to it without any expectations or demands. I'm also still framing this outside of committed relationships.

Anyhoo, to be quite blunt.
It's her CHOICE to "put out", to be crass, and my responsibility to make her CHOOSE to. Respectfully, because you've been quite, is that a non-rapey way to be a sexual man?
