Sex, Relationships and the Hazards of Making Default Decisions

Okay,

So a while back (late August?), when I was still searching madly for appartments, I spent an evening with Idioglossia. She made me feel better, so YAY HER! :-D
Anyway. I'm brining this up because we were talking about the Bullet Train to Marriage model of relationship-ing.

YOU ALL NEED TO GO AND READ THIS NOW:

Sex, Relationships and the Hazards of Making Default Decisions.


The above link goes to a blog article (by Greta Christina, author of Paying for It: A Guide by Sex Workers for Their Clients) that discusses just that: the internalized expectations of How Relationships Go that I, for one, have (A) concluded are doing me no good what-so-ever, and (B) am, despite this conclusion, still having one hell of a time getting rid of.

It's super-important, and I think everyone should read it.

Go. Read it now. Then link your friends to it, so that they can read it, too. :-)


Side note: This One, by the same author, discusses how sexuality is tied up with the Lure/Fear of the Forbidden in our society and how familiarity with sexuality is often thought to lead to bordom with sex rather than, say, comfort with it. It's also a good article. Shifter_Cat, in particular, I think would enjoy it. :-)
