Let's Get Down and Dirty

Can sex ever just be sex? This is a question that keeps going around in my head recently.

It's all well and good presuming that it's something you can do and flirting around the idea of it with someone, but until you actually do it, you can't really be sure can you?

This is one of the hardest predicaments I've found myself in of late. Your heart is telling you it's a terrible idea and you'll get hurt, but your hormones are saying 'fuck it, scratch that itch'. Especially as it's been a while.

The thrill of sleeping with someone new adds to the excitement of it all as well. That, and the probability that it won't be the vanilla that you got so used to before.

This internal debate does however also bring up the age old question of whether sex is still something that should be sacred.

Is it right to embrace the 21st Century attitude towards sex? Do it whenever and with whoever you can. Or should we still have a reserved attitude towards it? Only sleep with people who you're able to say 'I love you' to.

To be brutally honest, my opinion has completely changed in the last 9 months or so, purely based on the fact that I'm not ready for another relationship just yet but my god have I got the biggest itch! Does that make it right though?
