Phone Sex

You would think after 3 1/2 years of long-distance dating that The Boyfriend and I would have engaged in phone sex many times by now. We haven't, probably because of my lack of experience -- I'm a phone sex virgin. The Boyfriend, however, being no stranger to long distance relationships, is a phone sex expert. Well, maybe "expert" is not the right word. He's engaged in auditory copulation (I made that up!) with at least a couple of his partners but it's not been something he's tried to initiate with me.

When I brought the subject up last night, expressing a desire to give phone sex a try, The Boyfriend was hesitant. In his mind, phone sex is one of those things he associates with those "other" women he's dated. You know, the women he's slept with within a few hours of meeting them. The women for whom he's had very little respect. Apparently, according to him, I'm "too good" for phone sex.

I appreciate the value he's bestowed upon me and our relationship. And though I sometimes enjoy the view from the pedestal he often puts me on, it can be awfully lonely up here, especially when you aren't gettin' any. The fact of the matter is I have sexual needs just like those "other" women do. And more importantly, I desire the connection that sexually intimacy can provide. Now, I'll be the first to admit that having sex over the phone doesn't sound nearly as satisfying as having it in person. But in this seemingly never-ending long-distance relationship, I'll take what I can get.
