A has made the call. She's giving up sex. Why? It's the time of the year when everyone startes getting depressed about life (today is the last day of August but the sun shows no sign of coming through and everyone is getting concerned that we may be stuck in the delusional horror that is winter) and she has announced that she hates men because all they talk about is sex and they are all interested in braindead women with pre-puberty barbie bodies and she's sick of it. She considered becoming a lesbian but then realised she hates women because they allow men to treat them as sex objects and because well, she doesn't find them sexually attractive. This might not be true at all but A has decided many of her problems stem from sex and society's general obsession with it. Probably more of A's problems are due to her committment-phobia but she is now a non-sexual. Yes there's hetrosexuals, bisexuals, homosexuals, metrosexuals...and non-sexuals. A's ban on sex doesn't just invlove the physical act itself but also talking about it, watching it (more Sex and the City scenarios than porn...) and anything else sex-related. A thinks it will make her more intelligent and interesting. We'll see.
H is becoming turned off by sex as well, but in a more specific way. One of the guys she works with (you know, at the sex shop) has been hitting on her constantly but she just isn't that into him, possibly because he's way older than her. He just won't take a hint and leave her alone though, so H has had to change a bunch of her shifts to avoid seeing him. This means she now has to work the dodgy and annoying Friday night shift. Plus, working in an 'adults' store kinda puts you off sex. You see too many couples clearly choosing sex toys for the night and too many awful guys jerking off to porn. It desensitises you in a really unpleasent way. Maybe she should quit. Her band is sure to hit the big time any day now...
J is never off sex, of course. She is however, also feeling the effects of the depressing phase that is should-be-pring-but-is-still-winter. In order to fight it off she's been going to the gym every day in order to be bikini ready on the very first beach-worthy weather day. Or maybe it's because of the super hot personal trainer she's managed to find. He's five years older than her, but that's never stopped J before. Then again, her subtle flirting isn't going anywhere. Maybe she needs to turn the heat up.
L is sexually on the fence. She still hasn't slept with secret admirer, which leaves everyone else wondering exactly what they do when they're together. Talk. Make-out. Other assorted fun and games. The whole 'relationship' thing may be hard for A, H and J to understand. They've all had flings, fuck buddies etc but not real relationships. And L is worried what it will mean being the only one of the fab four with a significant other. It's always hard to be the one who's single, or the one who's in a relationship. No one else really understands and nor do they want to. L has always been good at the balancing act though, and secret admirer does seem like a good guy. He's nice to her friends, always returns her calls, is funny and sweet and has plenty of friends and a family he cares about. He's perfect for L really. It's just that the timing isn't perfect. L has a very busy and full life and guys were never a section of her pie graph of time. The more time she spends with secret admirier, the more everything else suffers. And L likes her life the way it is. But she also likes secret admirer. It's going to be a stressful month while she figures it out...
