Looking for a Fuckbuddy

Being single means different things to each of us. For some it is a way of life. For a small minority, it is the way we always will be. For most of us, its is a constant battle with optimism. Hope springs eternal they say. We weren’t designed to spend our lives alone. For the solitary monk it may be a life of dedication but for us mere mortals, its is a state of being that we hope is temporary.
Being single is not easy. It means first of all that we are daily responsible for every decision we make. We can’t share decision making because there is no one close enough to share things with. We trust our friends but we will not have formed as close a bond as we do in a long term personal relationship. Therefore it us up to us to decide what we do each day, whether we go to work, what we will have for dinner, where we will go at a weekend, what we do on vacation and where and how we socialize.
When we get home in an evening there isn’t anyone there (which is why so often we have cats and dogs) to welcome us. We prepare dinner alone (or don’t bother), run a bath, take a shower and generally live a solitary existence punctuated by our social life and friends as well as work routine. One of the primary issues about being single is not being able to discuss things on our mind when we want to. In social circles we can to an extent and we may call up friends on the phone but this lacks the deeper understanding and compassion we receive from a close partner in a relationship.
We like to play ideas off each other, discuss, talk, think aloud and have pillow talk about the future. All of this is missing when single. Occasional dates or romantic encounters may provide passing closeness but in effect we remain single still. There is something interesting on the TV, but we won’t chat about that until we are at work. We have an ailment that worries us, who do we discuss that with? There is an issue with a person at work, what should we do. Friends and family play their part but they don’t fill that singleness we are likely to feel.
Cooking for one is a painful experience. What is the point of cooking a nice meal if there is no one to share it with. There is a great movie but we will watch it alone. We need to go shopping and get something new for the apartment but we are going to have to do without the fun of deciding together. Then of course there is sex. Sex-for-one is well known to most singles but its generally not what we were designed for.
Close relationships offer companionship, understanding, empathy, friendship as well as love and romance and without them, we are pretty much left to our own devices to fill that void. When we are younger there is so much to focus on that it may not be such an issue but as we get older we begin to discover that visiting the wonders of the world alone is deeply dissatisfactory.

Dating and sex are two things which are inextricably linked to a great extent and some would even go to the extent of saying that they are inseparable! There is every chance or probability that if you are having a romantic meeting then at some point you will want to go to bed with each other.

For those who are religious and for whom faith is a priority, sex remains within the boundaries of marriage. For some others sex is initially a test of compatibility - a big one. If you don’t get on well in bed, you won’t be going much further. Modern generations are sexually demanding, they know how to give and receive pleasure and expect the same in return.

• Sex frequently occurs in the early dates with ease. From a woman’s point of view, if you look to evaluate a person, then it is advisable that you refrain from having sex on the firs date.
• Desire over a longer period will capture the feelings and interest of a man. His emotions and feelings will become heightened the more elusive you are sexually.
• An honest man will tell you that if you have sex with a girl on a first date, you may enjoy it, but you are almost certain not to want to date her because you were simply too easy. Men persevere to a great extent and they enjoy that experience. The longer it goes on, the greater the respect and the more likely you will win his heart.

Some other related tips regarding dating and sex could be:

• Avoid sleeping with a person on the first date
• Do not chat about sex on the first few dates, especially if you are a man. Retain your enigma factor
• Never admit to how many people you have slept with
• Date people you are physically attracted to as a start
• Sex is generally important, avoid from pretending otherwise
• Being sexy is different to being available
• Kissing does not mean sex
• Have sex the first time where you are most comfortable
• Remember that if you want to leave it is best not to sleep with your partner at your apartment
• Always practise safe sex, there is no excuse
• Good sex is a good start, bad sex can get better though
• Avoid people who are selfish in their sexual needs unless you share them
• Never do anything you are not comfortable with
• Never ever be rushed into sex when dating

Most of us will get married someday. This future is distant, however, and right now we are in college, a time for drinking, partying and casual sex. Oh, right, and education. Almost forgot.
Some of us have no intention of ever getting married. In last Sunday’s Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Maria Anglin wrote a column about the modern single female. She quoted a number of interesting statistics, including one from a recent New York Times poll which stated that 51 percent of women live without a spouse. She interpreted this as indicating that woman are increasingly “… in control of their own happiness, or unhappiness.”

How much control any of us have over our happiness is quite debatable, but the notion that being single makes one just as happy as or happier than being married is false.

There is, of course, nothing wrong with being single, and there are many single people who live happy lives. I think, however, that the majority of us were built with an innate desire for marriage, and that it is often monogamous matrimony, not hedonistic singleness, that can bring us greater happiness.

“On average,” said Linda J. Waite, professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, “… marriage seems to produce substantial benefits for men and women in the form of better health, longer life, more and better sex … greater wealth and better outcomes for children.”

 ”Swing,” “Swinger,” what do these words mean to you. How about the word “lifestyle?” Funny how words mean so many different things to so many different people. My dictionary defines “Swinger” as: “One that swings: a good swinger of baseball bats.” I always had a suspicion that Barry Bonds was a “swinger.” My dictionary also says: “A member of a couple, especially a married couple, who exchanges sexual partners.” Now we’re getting somewhere, although I didn’t know marital status had so much to do with “swinging.” I’ll have to call Webster and explain to him that non-married couples swing too. I’m sure he’ll be glad to hear that.

The word “swing” dates back to the 20’s when the black community discovered a new form of music called Jazz and called it “Swinging Jazz.” The reference described the form of dance where a man would literally “swing” his partner through a series of dance moves. Like the Charleston and the Lindy Hop were born, and so was the term “swing.” Most conservatives couldn’t believe it when they saw people shaking their hips and frolicking to this new underground sensual music.

Leading health care experts have blamed changes in the student grant system for a rise in the number of cash-strapped students turning to prostitution.

One student leader estimates that 60% of all sex workers in Leeds are full-time students.

The country’s leading clinic for prostitutes, the Praed Street Project in London, says a growing number of the 2,000 sex workers they treat annually are students.

“We’ve noticed a significant increase in the last three to four years, of students who have entered into the sex industry with a goal to finance their studies,” said manager Jane Ayres.

“They have clearly said that changes in the grant system have affected their choice.”

By their third year, most students face an average £8,000 debt, studies have shown.

Researchers at Westminster University in London estimate that 3-4% of indebted students turn to the sex industry to earn extra money.

Student leaders in Leeds claim the problem has reached worrying levels.

“The Leeds sex industry is primarily composed of students,” said James Cemmell, education officer at Leeds Student Union.

Mr Cemmell, who gathered evidence from local groups which help prostitutes, said: “The figure being touted is that 60% of sex workers in Leeds are students.

“It’s obviously not a good state of affairs if our students are having to resort to such drastic methods.”

Students targeted

Brothel owners have even begun targeting campuses to recruit new workers.

Local newspapers often carry advertisements calling on students to become escorts, which can be tantamount to prostitution.

The lure of earning up to £1,000 a week has led some girl students to work in massage parlours and have their pictures put on sex sites on the internet.

Fueled by the media, music and Hollywood and shows such as Sex in the City, Girlfriends, Seinfeld and Living Single, modern day dating has evolved into a smorgasbord of unparalleled eroticism. This riveting expose goes behind the scenes to show how modern day dating affects tomorrow’s marriages.    This Is How We Do It!
Modern day dating comes in many forms. Namely: hook-ups, one-night stands, cohabitation, speed and Internet dating, bluetoothing, blind dating, serial monogamous relationships and booty calls. There is also anonymous sex, recreational sex, casual sex, group sex, safe sex, dry sex and a host of other seductive sounding dating categories coined by the sexually active and glamorized by the media, music and Hollywood.   On television shows like, “Eve, One On One, Seinfeld and Half & Half,” the modern day dating scene has become a smorgasbord of earth shattering, knee buckling, commitment free, pregnancy free and disease free sex. On the screen, the stars don’t go to jail for child support. They don’t struggle with the ravages of developing full-blown AIDS or end up on an operating table in an abortion clinic. On the shows, no matter how many people they have sex with, the stars always come out on top.   In “Sex in the City,” one of the characters, Samantha, played by Kim Cattrall, has sex with at least two men per episode. Although her flesh is a revolving door for nameless men, freaks, players, homosexuals and married men. She is the epitome of health and mental wellness. She bares no depression. No anger. No illegitimate kids and no sexually transmitted diseases. Nothing! Nada! Just prideful boasts of her bedroom prowess and laughter about her numerous male conquests.   The Life, Times and Sex Life of Ms. Monique
Monique adopted the modern day dating syndrome while in high school and rode it out past college. She heard the “Safe sex” message and using condoms, gleefully explored and enjoined her sexuality. Although she faithfully attended church, the silky smooth, sexually charged words of R. Kelly, always echoed in her mind.   Even after hearing stirring sermons on virtue, Monique didn’t see anything wrong with a little bump and grind. By the time she was 26, she had allowed about a dozen different men to pilferage her physical body and tarnish her emotions. Monique’s relationship resume included two live-in lovers. Each of those seemingly promising relationships abruptly ended when she learned she was pregnant.   It is widely known that many sexually active individuals stop using condoms after they feel comfortable with their sex partners. Monique and her many lovers followed that trend. It also is widely known that very few men treasure becoming accidental dads. Especially with females they classify as: booty calls, one-night stands, casual sex partners and live-in lovers. Remember Rae Carruth and Tjane Marshall?    

You are looking for a date online? Then you have to be careful how you search. You are going to come with a lot of sites that aren’t about relationships, if you search for adult relationships. Well, at least not ones about relationships that are more than a few hours in length. A good way to find adult relationships is to look for serious online dating sites. But you have to be careful about where you go and who you trust. There are a lot of real people who are looking for adult relationships that are real, but also there are a lot of pretenders online. Not all online dating sites are created equal. How do you tell them apart?  
It’s hard, but some times you just have to ask. However, they never mentioned this to the person they talked to, and this was probably because they never asked. Most people will be honest if you ask them, but won’t mention they aren’t looking for serious adult relationships unless asked. Many people end up disappointed when the finally meet someone they have been chatting with from a dating site because that person was only interested in the shortest of adult relationships: the one night stand. You have to ask yourself why you didn’t see it coming, if you meet someone like this.   If they are looking for serious adult relationships, you can almost instantly tell if someone is playing around. Many of use don’t listen to our instincts, most of the time, and this is when we get burned. A very good friend of mine was really excited about meeting a guy she had been talking to online. It turned out that he didn’t really want to spend more than a few hours with her and he was moving on, when they met. He should have said so, if that is what he wanted. Since she has learned to ask.   Be sure to say so, if you do want adult relationships that are not typically what others are searching for.
You should really do the honorable thing and just say so, if you just want someone to see once in a while, but don’t want to be serious. There are others who are looking for the same thing. You can find each other quickly and no one else gets hurt, if you are upfront about it. No matter what you are looking for, adult relationships are what we make them, just make sure you make them honest.

Evolution of Desire
Earlier, we touched on the allure of the illicit. Here, we will explore the desire for sexual variety a little further.   The Rooster, the Hen and the Coolidge Effect
Let’s explore the evolutionary roots of desire, especially within the context of the illicit affair. The ancestral man would have most likely been motivated to have casual sex to increase his offspring, for him a huge benefit of casual sex. This ancestral drive instilled a powerful desire for sexual access to a variety of women: When Jimmy Carter said that he had “lust in his heart”, he openly expressed a universal male desire for sexual variety. Women are traditionally less interested in a variety of partners. This is sometimes referred to as the Coolidge Effect. The story goes that President Calvin Coolidge and his wife were given separate tours of new government farms. When Mrs Coolidge passed the chicken coups where a rooster was vigorously copulating with a hen, she asked the tour guide how often the rooster performed this duty. The guide answered: “Dozens of times a day”. “Make sure you mention this to the President”, replied Mrs. Coolidge. When the President passed by the coops and was told about the rooster’s performance, he asked the guide: “Always with the same hen?” “Oh, no”, the guide replied. “Always a different hen”. “Make sure you mention that to Mrs. Coolidge” said the President.   Our Promiscuous Ancestors
In the second article on sexuality and desire in this series, we also discussed the double standards in the rules applied to women and men. Robert Smith notes in Sperm Competition and the Evolution of Mating Systems: “The biological irony of the double standard is that males could not have been selected for promiscuity if historically females had always denied them opportunity for expression of the trait.”   Promiscuous Ancestral Sisters
And he’s right of course. There must have been some at least some promiscuous ancestral sisters. If all our ancestral sisters had mated for life with one single man, with no premarital sex, the opportunities for casual sex would have simply vanished! What would have been her motivation? It is unlikely that the need for more offspring was what motivated her. Having multiple partners would not have increased her reproductive capacities, and a minimum amount of sex is all she would have needed, and there is rarely a shortage of men willing to oblige. Perhaps sex would have given her a back-up protector. Or it may have gained her access to more food or other resources. David Buss notes that in many traditional communities, such as the native people of the Trobriand Islands, men bring food or jewelry to their mistresses. No gifts spell no good. First off, there will be no sex, but furthermore, failure to bring gifts will ruin his reputation among the women in the community, and he’ll have a tough time attracting mistresses in the future. Studies on contemporary mating shows that modern women are much like their ancestral sisters- the one quality they particularly value in lovers is generosity. Interestingly, women’s desires in a short-term sex partner are very similar to her desires in a husband. In both cases, Buss notes, women look for someone who is kind, romantic, exciting, stable, healthy, humorous and generous. In both contexts, women prefer men who are tall, athletic and attractive. Men on the other hand, tend to be easy going as far as standards go-, which of course makes their pool for potential sex partners bigger.   An Ancestral Past Filled With Affairs
Our ancestral past is filled with affairs. Alarming? Perhaps. Women might find the ease with which men hit the sack with other women disturbing, and men might be shocked to see their wives encourage other men or be unfaithful. But social traditions concerning sexuality and desire are being revised, redefined and negotiated both in Western as well as in non-Western countries. Modern technology and urban living conditions allow many of us to escape the potential risks, costs and consequences of casual affairs. Reducing these negative consequences and acknowledging the complexity and paradox of desire and sexuality may offend our socially constructed idea of matrimonial bliss, but it also empowers us to more fully express our desire and sexuality

The internet is a convenient tools for making new friends. Just like anywhere else, there are risks of which you should be aware. But if you use common sense and exercise due care, your experience can be safe and rewarding. The following are a few guidelines and suggestions to help keep your experience as positive as possible.  
Protect your privacy
Do not reveal information which could expose your identity until you are confident that it is safe. Be cautious revealing your name, address, phone number, email address, place of work, website address, etc. Do not allow anyone to pressure you into revealing details before you are ready. If they are overly aggressive in asking for indentifying information, cut off communication. Do not feel obligated to be more open than you are comfortable being. Contact the administrator of the website if you have concerns.   “On the internet, no one knows you’re a dog”
Be aware that others may misrepresent themselves on the internet. They may make false claims, omit important details, post outdated photographs, or even photographs of other people as their own. Pay attention to little clues that indicate that a person may be trying to hide something. Watch for inconsistencies in things they write, indicating that they are making things up and having trouble keeping their story straight. Also be cautious of evasiveness about things that could indicate a problem. You may wish to have a background check done on someone before you get too involved in communicating with or meeting them. If the information in someone’s profile is blatently false, notify the website’s administrators.   Be careful meeting people
The first time you meet someone in person, take a friend along or meet and stay in public places. Be sure that someone knows where you’re going and when to expect you back. If you have a cellular phone, take it along, and have a friend call periodically. You may wish to take along some form of personal protection just in case. If someone tries to get you into a situation you are not comfortable with, don’t hesitate refuse, leave, or do whatever is necessary to protect yourself. Nothing that anyone else does can obligate you to comprimise your own safety.   Trust your feelings and intuition
If you feel uneasy about someone you’ve met online, err on the side of caution. It’s probably better to miss a few good experiences than to have one bad one.   Beware of scams
Occasionally, criminals will attempt to use sites like this, where they expect that messages will be received with a high level of trust, to solicit people for scams. If, for example, you ever receive a message asking for help getting large sums of money out of an African country, offering to sell a product, or with any other commercial purpose, do not respond to the message. Instead, please send a copy of the message you received to us using our contact form.   Remember that ultimately, you are responsible for your own safety.
Although we do all we can to provide a safe, comfortable environment for building new friendships, the final responsibility for you is yours.   If you keep these things in mind, we are confident that the internet can be one of the best tools you’ve ever had for finding new friends and starting good relationships.
