People are always telling me that it is better to have loved and lost then never loved at all. And depending on the day, I tend to believe that.

That feeling of being in love is like nothing else; it is surreal, divine and really can’t be put into words. Being able to experience that – even if it ends badly – is totally worth it.

But the real question no one is asking is if it is better to have f*@#ed and lost than never to have f*@#ed at all.

I never really thought about it before, but my friend (and not the proverbial friend….really, a friend) is currently experiencing a long (looooooong) dry spell and is going absolutely crazy.

Having spent a good long year in a relationship filled with sex – sometimes 4 times a day – her current situation is hitting her hard making it nearly impossible to forget that delectable sextuation (get it? Sex +situation = sextuation!) she had before.

She even started watching porn.

And it made me think; before I had my first lover, I really didn’t crave sex. Sure, I wanted to fit in with the crowd or find someone I cared about enough to share such an intimate moment with, but I had no idea what I was missing, so how could I care?

But now it is a different story. Without my daily dose of humpty hump I get a little down. Knowing how fun/exciting/delicious sex can be it is hard for me to imagine my life without it. I don’t know for sure because I have never tried it, but I imagine it is a lot like a crack addiction. Or maybe my obsession with Edy’s Loaded Butterfinger Ice Cream. That shit is goooood and I never would have known how good it was if I hadn’t tried it…and eaten the entire half gallon.

You catch my drift?

I am sure my friend would be a lot better off at the moment if she hadn’t given it up before. But now, now she is screwed (well, not screwed, actually). Until she finds someone else to give her that satisfaction she is going to have to deal with the withdrawal symptoms.

I do know something to help, though. A nice big gallon of that Butterfinger ice cream. Mmmm mmm good.
