When should you give in to your man? |
New Age mantras mantra
1:Just as I was patting myself on the back, I came across a woman who refused to fit into my world of unprocreation. She declared that you should sleep with a man when you want to make a baby. Heavens! That sounded like crusty tradition. But no, it turned out that her situation was entirely un-clichéd. She was single, her body clock was ticking and she wanted to be a mother. So she requested her best friend – who was, conveniently, a man – to sleep with her. That was probably the most New Age-world answer.
2: The next woman I met on my quest was beautiful, intelligent, artistic and caring. She moved me. But her answer shook me. She was looking for exactly the same qualities in a sleeping partner that she herself had. No man, she was convinced, had them. So she had gone and found her match in a woman. Therefore, it was clear, for her, the right time to sleep with a man was: Never.
3: After that, nothing surprised me anymore. When an advertising professional told me that she was only interested in a, well, ‘bed buddy’, I simply shrugged blasé. She didn’t have to worry about the other party getting all mushy and commitment-needy. Even in my daze, I did register that this type of woman was good news for men. A good buddy to have, from a man’s perspective? Professor Henry Higgins might have thought so. After all, in My Fair Lady, he asked, ‘Why can’t a woman be more like a man?’ But I fear it can lead to a role reversal. Am I just a onenight-stand? Will she respect me in the morning? Am I even a man anymore?
