... issues and tissues with a touch of the spicy from the spirit hag ...
Published on May 3, 2004 By mignuna In Sex & Romance
the internet is now a major player in the romance world.

in the good old days, you had to go somewhere where there were actual people in order to "fall in love".

now all you have to do, apparently, is register "online" at an "agency" and wait for your dream partner to materialise from the depths of cyberspace.

i have a friend that did this. i will call him clay ... 'cause that's his name. . clay is 29 yrs old, funny, clever, interesting, and cute. he is also shy.

he did not mention his shyness in his profile ...

(... he really should have).

he did include a photo in his profile ...

(... he really shouldn't have).

the combination of a cute photo and a brief but well-written profile is all that some women appear to need to mount (pardon my pun) a quest to send the most sexually explicit and graphic emails to an otherwise total stranger.

clay is mortified that they somehow felt it necessary to respond in that way. not to mention confused. one girl even offered to do something to him that he claims to have never heard of before !.

when i enquired as to the "boost" he may have gotten from all this adoration, he replied simply that he felt much worse than before he joined. he explained the very peculiar from of disgust he feels when women misguidedly force sexuality down your throat in the belief that it is expected of them ... by the man.

he had replied to one girl in a mildly flirtatious way, as very clever men can do, and she returned a rapid fire volley of smut and innuendo that was just embarrassing to read. another girl told him she was masturbating over his photo ... one even looked up his phone number and phoned to offer to meet him for sex.

males dream come true ? ... not bloody likely !.

by clays' way of thinking, anybody with so little regard for themselves and such a misguided idea of "what men want" is to be avoided like the plague ... which is exactly what he is doing.

last time we spoke, clay had discontinued his dating agency membership. i don't blame him.

his desire to know at least the surname of someone before he has sex with has made him a dinosaur in the instant-gratification world of internet dating.

but a dinosaur that's now content to be one ... at least for as long as it takes him to work up the nerve to ask a "real" girl out ... for something much smaller than an orgy ...

... how about a little kiss, first ?

cann1bal, i'm sure you spoke to her first. i bet she didn't send you an email offering services that one would hesitate to request from a trained professional, right ?.

but i agree with you anyway. you and your girl were both looking for love and you found it. these women were just looking for sex, but it mainly amazed me that they approached him so blatantly when he made it clear in his profile that he was 29 years of age and looking for something lasting.

thanks for your comment.

um, kingbee i made those up, sorry.

i have heard of fred neil - a guy who wrote some of buddy hollys' early songs. he played with tim buckley and paul anka and janis joplin and everyone else you could poke a stick at.

is that the same guy ?

and blatantly is fine. go with blatantly, pet.

fred neil wrote 'everybody's talking'--the song that nillson covered when used as a theme for 'midnight cowboy'.--among other songs. played 12 string, incredible deep voice (unusual for a folkie in the 60s). used to be listed as an essential influence by just about everyone worth listening to but not ever widely known. i included him on my list of cocaine singers and youd said you liked em all so i was curious. if youd like, ill hook ya up with an mp3 of his singing 'the dolphins'

and now back to twisted tales of lewd n lascivious online sex fantasies!

i would say that summation is pretty much spot on, judging by the way i described him in my post above !.

Online dating can never replace the personal encounter....getting to know each other gradually.... baring our souls first under the moonlight.... or the beach....before baring our bodies.........the real thing can never be replaced by virtual substitues however real it may sound!

what a beautiful summation, web poet. thankyou for adding it


Out of about 300 responses i got before i gave up in disgust, i recieved no less than 188 penis pictures included in the first email


188 penis pictures !!!!. wow. are you okay after that ? sounds life-altering, sabrina hehe

i dont care how big your sausage is, i get my kicks above the waistline


please make this blog. please, oh pleeeeeease. i love the word 'sausage' !!!

I did meet my second Husband online, however, and not through any dating service, and not in any BDSM chatroom where someone like me might expect to meet others inclined to the same sexual deviations.

I met him in a poetry chat room, and we fell in love reading each others poems.


having some knowledge of your love story, sabrina, i think you and the mister can be considered an exception. i have read both of your poetry works about each other, and i think you two would have fallen in love no matter where you met.

thanks for adding this, sabrina
