Texting Goodbye to a Lover

Posted on October 7th, 2009 | 22 comments

My friend with benefits texted me: You should know I met someone interesting who wants to date. Consider me off the market for the time being.
I wasn’t too surprised. We’d been seeing each other off and on for the better part of two months. But neither one of us had felt a spark to take [...]

Booty Call Calendar – One Year Late

Posted on September 24th, 2009 | 20 comments

I received an email the other day.
Dear David. We hooked up last year. It was fun. Call me if you’re unattached and we’ll catch up. I miss having a good man around.

My single-parent custody schedule wouldn’t permit a third date for at least two weeks, so I suggested she and I head to Napa wine country for a sexy weekend fling. She accepted. Only [...]

A sexy arrangement between a man and woman can be fun. As long as terms and expectations are set before clothes come off and you’re both nude.

Holiday Hookup

What is it about the holidays that makes singles so dang horny?
Wait, let me guess. They refuse to start a dating relationship, lest they hit it off and have to introduce someone new to the relatives, or be forced to ring in the New Year without a gotta find someone special resolution to make. Add [...]
