I
Intercourse. Once I'd got my head sorted out, when I was thirty, I had this strange and romantic idea that I wouldn't fuck anyone unless I loved them. Maybe it was because I'd had so many shit relationships, and two abortions.
I made a solemn promise to myself that I would only have sex if the person (especially men) felt really good. It was also at this time that I decided I didn't want to have sex with women anymore. I always met women that I would either like as good friends, or if not, I would feel that I was using the women in a gratuitous or abusive situation, as a man might.
I would rather masturbate anyday than break someone's heart.
