I almost got laid today, but turned it down.
And this wasn’t just any girl. I turned down sex with the ONE GIRL who I had said previously that I was willing to break my celibacy with.
“The One” and yet I still turned it down because the dynamic wasn’t right.
context of the girl I didn’t have sex with today
After my breakup I reignited an old “friendship” by eating her out and getting a handjob from her. (Thank you RoTNW!).
After that, she became the one girl I was willing to break celibacy for because we had so many deep and vulnerable conversations about sex, which basically just ended in her telling me she’s down to fulfill every fantasy I’ve ever had, exactly as I want. (And she already was doing that even just during giving me a handjob).
A month later she invites me to her wedding with less than 16 hrs notice.
I’m one of only two guests because it was so last minute, and I meet her now-husband, who i’d never met before, but who picked her up from my house after we hooked up.
But it’s all chill because they’re polyamorous. Lol.
Her wedding was a few days ago, and she and I hung out 1-1 today.
She was pretty clear that she wanted to only focus on her marriage for a while, not flings. To that end, she’d already broken up with her second boyfriend. So - her and I were just “friends” until further notice.
After 4 or 5 hours hanging out, we start cuddling and touching intimately on my bed.
That’s still in the “allowed” zone of boundaries I guess.
Things got progressively more and more sexual. She eventually broke the “no sex” rule by grabbing my hand, putting it inside her pants so that I can finger her, and telling me she wanted to fuck me.
I slowed down, stopped fingering her (after enjoying it for a while), and told her straight up, “hold on I want to talk to you for a second.”
“I definitely wanted to have sex with you, but not if you’re going to feel like it was impulsive and then regret it after. I’d rather not fuck you but still talk to you, then fuck you and not talk to you after.”
Because like I said, us having sex wouldn’t exactly be “cheating” but it would be a bit of breach of trust.
Poly is complicated Lol.
We agreed not to have sex, but, our container stayed fun, intimate, connected, it was a good repair and reset.
All in all, I am just so freaking UNBELIEVABLY happy with the main result I’ve gotten from Stage 2 which has been complete and utter detachment from the need for sex.
I still love sex.
But the NEED for sex, to fix something, or just to feel something, is gone. I am as happy with sex as without sex.
I have raised my standards to only ever even considering the absolute highest caliber and quality of sex possible -
- only with extremely secure women,
- only when we have a great connection,
- only if they’re not expressing any sexual shame or guilt,
- and only when it’s 100% desired by both parties before, during, & after.
- and only when I truly genuinely like them so much that I’m satisfied when I spend time with them and sex never happens…
It’s such a better way to live than trying to sleep with girls that only sort of liked me just to boost my ego, or girls who would later cause me major strife from their guilt or sexual shame, or girls who I didn’t really like but just wanted to sleep with.
This. Is. Way. Better.
If I had slept with that girl today, there would have been shame, regret, guilt.
and also…
I probably would have lost her as a friend or at least lost the opportunity to have a transparent relationship with her in the future. I would have caused drama in a new marriage (not cheating drama, because they’re in an open relationship, but still drama, because they both made it clear to each other they weren’t interested in seeing other ppl for a bit).
Only a freaking absolutely high status man turns down sex and is happy about it - I am that high status man.
