I Overslept

Yesterday I was hanging out with my friend Dina (note her name as she is everywhere in my life) and we were talking about my comings and goings in the two months since I broke up with my ex.

I am going to be honest here and say I have slept with nine people since the breakup. I know its not kosher to tell the world your number, but I think that women should be proud of having a healthy sex life.

After I finished updating her on my most recent adventures, she quickly replies, "Thats more than one man every week!"

HINT: There are 8 weeks in two months, which is about 56 days. 56 divided by 9 men is 6.2 meaning that every 6.2 days I had sex with someone new....so once a week.



I froze. That makes the number sound so much worse than I thought it was originally. I was not only shocked, but ashamed.

I have been mulling this equation over in my head since she pointed it out, and I wondered why it was considered so bad to sleep with men at my leisure. In my opinion if I have the ability to handle it emotionally (which honestly I'm not sure I can even if I tell myself I have the ability) and I am being safe, then I should be able to sleep around if it so pleases me!

Maybe I am just not normal (very likely) but I honestly do NOT understand the reasoning behind why sex is portrayed as something bad in our society. I understand all of the emotional connection type bullshit for why women shouldn't sleep around, but don't people get a similar emotional connection to a person when they date them or kiss them or anything of the sort that isn't sex? Why is sex always portrayed as the bad guy?

Now, I'm not suggesting that you go out there and shack up with a new man every night (like this girl who slept with 2.5 men a day for 9 years if you do the math), but I do believe a girl should be allowed to go through a phase every once in a while.

If you ask me, sex is the best drug out there. You burn calories, you get a high of sorts, and you don't die from it. To me that sounds like a done deal!
