I'm sure if you are providing a smorgasbord, you will find a starvin' marvin somewhere close by...

I think you missed the point of Auntie Mame's famous line. The fact is, there's a whole lot of fun to be had all round you in life, (sexual and non-sexual) and most people are too wrapped up in their angst to enjoy what life has to offer.

I think many of us were thrown off track a bit with your original smorgasbord statement. I intrepreted it much like ITB did.

I started to say "Thanks for the clarification; makes a lot more sense." But... I just read the "thread stopper" thread, and maybe I did hear you right the first time.

I think a lot of people spend a great deal of energy trying to get unwrapped from their angst, me being one. Not everything is easy for everybody, and often it helps to talk about it. Not just talk to hear yourself talk mind you, but to have an exchange of information that benefits all parties involved.

While I agree that there is a lot of life out there to enjoy and time is wasting; I prefer my sex life to be a main course meal shared with one special person rather than a smorgasbord with everybody welcome to a serving of whatever's on the menu at the time.

I also don't judge other people for their views or differences in lifestyles. Your lifestyle is your lifestyle, and mine is mine. Doesn't mean we can't be friends, just means I make different choices.

I didn't get to where I am without trying a few of the wrong roads first. Been there, done that - not real proud of my t-shirt.

Your Aunt is very wise...

There was a book, Auntie Mame, and it was rewritten into a play by the same name. She was a woman who lived in NYC during the 20's, her brother died and she became the caretaker of her nephew. The book was written by her nephew. She was a free spirit to say the least.
I was in the play. I played Agnes Gooch, her secretary. It was a really funny book, you should read it.

Based on the response to this thread, I really think we consider starting a new one entitled "Do Men Overestimate the Ease with which Women Can Get Laid?"

Hey, I'm not saying I'll sleep with just anyone.

I think a lot of people spend a great deal of energy trying to get unwrapped from their angst, me being one. Not everything is easy for everybody, and often it helps to talk about it. Not just talk to hear yourself talk mind you, but to have an exchange of information that benefits all parties involved.

I spent a great deal of time getting over all my angst. I wouldn't date anyone while I was in the midst of it. It's gone. Now I wanna have fun.

While I agree that there is a lot of life out there to enjoy and time is wasting; I prefer my sex life to be a main course meal shared with one special person rather than a smorgasbord with everybody welcome to a serving of whatever's on the menu at the time.

that's where you and I differ. I love tapas. If a main course comes around, fine. But at least I didn't go hungry waiting for it

There's also a wonderful film version with Rosalind Russell.

I hardly think that FairyBasslet or really any other woman would state that they prefer their sex lives to be a series of one-night stands. She was being funny, and I for one, appreciate her humor. It gave me a good chuckle. Also, we all know it ain't that easy meeting great guys. I've definitely kissed more frogs than princes, but let's just say that I can't totally write off frogs. You usually don't know they are frogs until it is too late.

Absolutely correct Igra

Thanks.

Yep.

And that's ok. I meant what I wrote earlier about not judging other people. My comments weren't intended to be judgemental, but just an offering of a different opinion. I found humor in what you said, but I also understood correctly that you are agreeable to nibbling here and there. I'm not. And that's ok too.

You said there's a lot of fun out there and you're right. Like you I just want to have fun. I've chosen not to partake in fun of flesh at the moment, and won't until I think I've found the right one. So I partake in whatever else I can. Not saying I don't think about it. Not saying I don't get horny as well. Just saying I've made a choice and I'm doing my very best to stick with it. I believe it's the best choice for me; and not intended for anyone else.

We're not so different really; we've just made different choices is all.

Actually, our choices aren't that different either

wow!!!! Now that you refresh my memory...OF COURSE I remember the play....and...I have to say I admire your skill at speaking your mind without lecturing or cutting....I seem to step on toes...although I really don't mean to... I have been told by my closest friends that I am VERY blunt....and I guess I am...(comes with old age???) but pretend doesn't fly with me and I am good at spotting it...if your side of the fence is decided upon by the latest and greatest...well....that falls in the category of "fly by night" ( OKAY NO SEXUAL MEANING HERE ..unless of course....)
