I Miss The Body That Knows My Body

It’s about sex, but it’s more than just sex

How many articles can be written about sex? And about being single? And how many about being single and having sex? Or being single and missing sex?

I have written about all of these, and the topic is so complex — despite how it looks— that I could write about it a lot more than I have already written. There are so many aspects and hidden thoughts in there.

Sexuality is one of the most important aspects of our lives — if not the most important. It’s an instinct, it’s a drive, it’s the source of our biggest pleasure and of our biggest frustration.

I am kind of balancing on the edge of being happy about being single, enjoying my freedom, my opportunities, my dates and the occasions I am having sex — and of being miserable and stressed out about not having anyone around, to love, to hug, to cuddle with, to talk with, to sleep with and have sex with.

And I am like a slow-motion pendulum — alternating between the two poles, the relief and frustration overwhelm me to equal measure.

It’s a hands-down bipolar feeling and both leave me breathless and confused.
