When I\u2019m busy my urge to fool around is usually a welcome distraction that often motivates me to actually get the hell out of my desk chair and leave the house (often with very constructive results, if you know what I mean). In those rare moments when I have a bunch of free time on my hands, it usually just gets a bit more intense. I remember the week after I left my job in Connecticut and started loafing around the house again, I almost went off the deep end I was so self-indulgent. That back-and-forth between being kinda horny (and perhaps not taking advantage of it) and really horny (and giving in to it) has pretty much been a constant for the last year-and-a-half.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the explanation this week is that I\u2019m exhausted, and I just don\u2019t have the energy to do that much at all. My body, realizing that for the first time in a while it can just shut down and sleep whenever it needs to, is making sure it gets its rest while it has a chance. It seems to have sent a memo to its various parts making sure I don&#8217;t get all worked up.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also not a lot of stimulus here on the island. For one thing I\u2019m here with an old friend who\u2019s more like a sister. And it\u2019s off-season, so it really is a ghost town \u2014 all the hot surfer boys have gone back to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rutgers.edu\">Rutgers<\/a> or wherever else they go to school. I mean, the garbage man I saw yesterday was pretty hot, but that\u2019s about it. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcolympics.com\">The Olympics<\/a> are serving up an impossible bevy of chiseled jaws, gorgeous arms, and and firm buttocks, but in sort of an abstract way that\u2019s not worth getting too hot and bothered about.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I\u2019ve been realizing for a while that I\u2019ve been more interested in settling down again. All these months of lots and lots of sex have been fun but have reminded me just how much more satisfying I find it when I can really get to know someone and care about him. A little variety is fun and all, but tricks are for kids. Or at least for kids who don\u2019t get as turned on by guys\u2019 minds as much as their bodies. When I don\u2019t meet guys who stick around for long (and I\u2019m as fussy as anyone else, so this is no \u201cwoe is me\u201d cry), I don\u2019t get to experience that deeper, more holistic variety of attraction. And I\u2019m jonesing for it.<\/p>\n<p>But there\u2019s always hope, right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much to my surprise, I haven\u2019t actually been very horny all this week, despite all the free time on my hands.
