I can understand why anyone with a sex drive might find having a sex friend appealing. Personally, the all or nothing relationship is what makes my life worth living. I have only limited experience in casual sexual relationships though. Contrary to popular myth, sailors don't really have a woman in every port. Well, at least I didn't. I only had 3 sexually active relationships in my life. My first was a friend, and she never meant for anything more than sex and she was honest with me about it so I decided to give it a shot (no pun intended). One was a relatively short term relationship in which our paths crossed but neither of us was truly willing to change the direction that our life was going (selfish of me, I know) she told me she loved me, but I could not honestly say the same even though I liked her and cared about her. I waited for my wife (or she waited for me) for quite a while even after we knew that we were permanent, even though neither of us was a virgin, it just felt right. It was worth the wait as the emotional attachment and desire to please her, made lovemaking far more profound and ecstatic than simple sex could ever be.
Update on my merchant sailor Phoenix Nights experience. Your story sounds startlingly similar to mine right now, and I never thought about the girl in every port bit. He sounds v similar to how you are describing things, anyway, damn mariner is virtually non-sex, unless with 'right woman', and I feel its all or nothing now. He is 31 going on 40. I'm still waiting to see if that verdict can be confirmed or not, as I am inclined to tackle him about it soon. I however have looked up some stats based from his chinese horoscope, and it does kind of fall into place, but the truth of the lies will probably keep on coming. Sea Peerage is well met and well stared though.
The end of the journey is at clear for at least one of us, the so and so, even put up a fresh pic of his days as a mariner and not of a recent one, so I'm afraid to say, v disappointed. When I look at someone I want to know I'm getting the whole package, not a half baked deal on the back burner of say yes to me. I have nothing to offer you and stuff, and he can write for the whole of Ocean Britain, and I'm wondering now if I'll ever find the officer and gent in the same sentence. I have also been supplying us with safe fishing requirements, so the same old line of you should never bite a mariner who knows how to bait a fish with clear hook line and sinker is clear. I said more or less, i expected more than that and should there be no more clear offer on the table then to look elsewhere because I fear I have been poured with engine oil and set alight out to sea. The man also has a clear memory, and although i said, I dont wish to offend you, and filled him with added such compliments, I fear he may have just increased his waist band size just reading it! Captain Birdseye is going a bit far but there is only so much of a good thing for one girl like me.
