My Blog

Three months ago, a good friend of mine divulged a huge secret to me…I remember she was driving me home, windows open and ciggies in hand; when she muses in a half whisper ( as if someone else would hear ), " wag ka maingay ha, Joey and I had a one night stint." I almost choked on my DJ Mix as the news shocked me. I mean, so called "Joey" is a part of girl talk and is everyone’s emergency date. But curiosity got the better of me, and I had to ask " How was it?" and drum roll please…" It was…uhmmmm…MECHANICAL."

What exactly did she mean by that? For quite some time, this comment bugged me and made me think, how can a person use the word MECHANICAL and sex in one sentence? The M word being so associated with boring, uniformalized, technical stuff, and the S word often described as exciting, spontaneous, and emotional. If this is entirely the case, then I shouldn’t be too surprised they never went back for seconds.

Fast forward to last Friday, I had what one might describe as the opposite of mechanical. It was the perfect conclusion to a seven month sabbatical from bedroom activities. The passion and the thrill being so unnerving that two days later,  I still can’t find some of the pieces of clothing I had on that time. Now, I believe I would never find out what she exactly meant, but I do know now that it was the entire opposite of my recent encounter.

So, mechanical would mean just going through with the usual moves, and probably pushing to just get it over and done with. And because of what?Bottled up sexual tension for months and months, and all for one lousy lay you’d rather forget?

I guess this tells us two things - 1. Let’s not bottle it up - go ahead with it! and 2. Don’t expect too much. He may have the sultry stares, the washboard abs, the dashing smile, and the body language that makes you visualize being ravaged by him…But the one time delivery might prove more to be a cinematic flop compared to the fantasies you’ve cooked up in your head.
