So lately I've been trying to live up to the reputation given to us by the media about gay people in regards to sexual promiscuity. I tried really hard. I got on the hook up sites, talked to the guys, talked about times that it would be convient to have casual no strings attached sex. But I think now I'm beginning to see that it's all been lies. The more guys I talk to and the closer I get to hooking up with someone, the more I begin to see them not a sex object but as a person. I just can't do it randomly without compassion. I think that's what it really comes down to with so many things, compassion. You see I didn't undstand how someone could hook-up randomly with people and it remain unemotional, contrary to the constant mantra of no-strings, no-strings, no-strings. There are always strings. We as human beings define ourselves in so many ways by our interactions, our connectioins, our strings tying us to other people. No-strings just doesn't exist.
