So as a fantastic 30-something female one might assume I'm having fabulous sex all the time and bragging to my fellow apples about my sexcipades. I believe the phrase from the movie 13 Going on 30 is "Thirty, flirty and thriving!" Sadly, I'm a disappointment in this department. There are theories about why (Scarlet, Crimson and Karmjin you can stifle it I've already heard it!) but those belong in an entirely different blog post all to themselves. To summarize let's just say it's been a very VERY long time. I may adore Sex in the City but I certainly haven't been getting it!
Then there was tall, dark and smokin' hot Jake...Jake who is very talented in so many many ways. He's been a crush of mine for several years but has never been available and interested until recently. I had to have A LOT of convincing as to his interest even now that he is single. We had always indulged in minor flirtation but we're both flirts, so I had a hard time believing feelings and interests had changed despite the insistence of some insightful ladies. Call it cynicism, call it self-esteem, call it whatever you like but there is a reason we refer to a person as a crush, and it's because feelings are not typically reciprocated. I'm not one to kiss and tell, that's for bolder ladies (cough, cough Crimson), not to mention if Jake ever stumbles across this post his ego does not need the inflation. I will simply say--well done and thank you.
As you might have surmised, I find insight and inspiration in random moments of film and television. So with the sexual drought at an end (mmmm...sigh), I had a flashback to this discussion in Season 2 of Grey's Anatomy.
Izzy: "You know when you don't have sex for a while you sort of forget how good it is and you don't really need it as much?" George: "Yeah that doesn't happen to guys."
I remember finding it amusing at the time and now it has taken on new meaning. This may not apply to all you ladies out there but I took a little poll with some of my friends and DAMN Izzy is right. I knew I was good at compartmentalizing but this is ridiculous. I managed to talk myself into the fact that the lack of sex was no big deal (please insert the condescending laughter here I deserve it). It's like denying myself food or water or (gasp!) cocktails!! What the hell was I thinking?
I've also had a secondary revelation that this is a situation where men could completely clean up. I've just had great sex and all I can think about is how to repeat this occurrence. Pssst...MEN! Please pay attention to the following public service announcement: Women like sex and we think about it almost as much as you do. When we have good sex we want more...since y'all typically never stop thinking about sex perhaps you should capitalize on this. Look for signs, we aren't actually all that subtle or complicated. My man-friend could have shot a barely raised an eye brow in my direction and my clothes would have been off. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'.

Ironically now just like Izzy, "The Beast" is now awake and demanding to be fed. The quest is on...
