dagupan

5.

            Contrary to popular belief, I wasn’t having any sex then. Everybody who doesn’t belong to my inner circle of friends, thought I was having so much action basing on how wonderfully gorgeous I was then—then, meaning before. I don’t know what happened to me.

            My close friends knew I wasn’t getting any. They were encouraging me for anyway that was how I was thought of by most so no matter how I project myself as wholesome as I could be, I was still seen as a self righteous hypocrite. I know so and wanted to take their advise. The problem, which I thought was kind of funny, was that I don’t feel any carnal desire for my objects of affection. I don’t know why but I can’t even bring myself to fantasize being in bed with any of them (should I clarify that when I say objects of affection or use the plural pronoun, I don’t mean I have more than one at the same time, I mean one after the other). I just don’t for some reason. I don’t even know if it was natural that it was so in my case even to this date.

            Well, I was still young then. Too young that I was still a strong believer of love and that sex should only be done with love or for love. So even if there were others I know who would like to sleep with me, I know I don’t even have to lift a finger to get laid, I didn’t. I was that dead gorgeous.

            “So how do you managed on those cold nights…” a friend asked, “how many times do you masturbate?”

            “I’m not a very sexual person.”

            Clearly that’s a lie.
