Sex. Sex is incredibly complicated for being only three letters long. I think it’s a huge role in a relationship for me. There have only been two people I’ve had a healthy sexual relationship with. Keith and Chris from the hotel. Both of them never triggered me, turned me on enough to jump them, to want them. Everyone else has scared me, given me bad feelings, made me trigger feel ashamed and guilty after anything remotely sexual. It’s hard, because I pull away from them in regular life as well. Bad breath doesn’t help the cause. If I can’t kiss them, if it isn’t warm and not prickly and passionate, I shut down. I need a man who smells wonderful, has a warm mouth that tastes normal, that isn’t too clingy and romantic, but isn’t pushy or fast paced. I don’t know if this makes sense. I can date without sex, but it isn’t long term, or if it is I secretly want out. I need good, safe sex to have a real relationship.

Different topic. I have made two complete paintings in two days. I can’t wait to post them. One is a sunset for class, the other a picture from my sister’s wedding of my mom’s hands. God they look amazing. Water color on paper.
