You Don’t Need to Be a Sex Writer to Write About Sex

Writing about sex can be a way to spicing up your sex life

Earlier this year I went on a date with a guy and he was sort of awkward. I realised after 10 minutes that it won’t really go anywhere, but he was nice enough and I didn’t want to hurt his feelings with leaving him in the middle of a restaurant. He was just a terrible conversationalist, and after half an hour we ran out of things to talk about when he gave one syllable answers to everything I asked.

I wanted to scream, and I was considering leaving him there anyway. When the silence was getting awkward and I didn’t say a thing for long minutes, he took the hint and realised he needs to ask questions too.

“Umm, and what are your hobbies?”

Who talks like that? Nobody talks like that!

I almost laughed out, I felt really sorry for him, he was just socially awkward and a weird one… but also because I couldn’t say what I wanted to say, as I didn’t want to encourage him.

I was going to say that it’s sex and writing. In no particular order.

But I just mumbled, “I write”.

He nodded and let it go.

Damn!
