In Actual Fact.

What would any self-respecting blogger do when stood up on a date? Blog about it, of course, as In Actual Fact did:

Cheap Meaningless Sex.

I don’t want meaningless, no-strings-attached sex with attractive women.

Now, as you might have guessed, there are a couple of qualifiers to that statement, the most obvious one being that it’s blatantly untrue. So would it be better if I said that whilst I wouldn’t mind meaningless, no-strings-attached sex with attractive women, I’d much rather have meaningful sex with a woman I loved? It might be more truthful, but would already be setting off the bullshit detectors of some women – after all, that’s the kind of thing some guy might say to sound less sordid, without being too corny, with a view to trying to eventually get you into bed for some meaningless sex.
But it gets worse – and for those of you of a gentle disposition, I really do recommend you stop reading now. For me, by far the most exquisite feeling is just to wake up next to the woman you love on a Sunday morning, her body pressed against yours – not in an overtly sexual way, just pushed against you in a physical expression of total trust and security.

(As a strategy this seems to have worked. One female blogger was so impressed (whether by the quality of the writing or the mention of the usage of kitchen utensils I haven’t had the courage to ask) that she made contact and they now seem to spend their weekends commuting between the two European cities they inhabit.)
