	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

That train story is amazing, Rogan J. Although I would not now be able to manage the contortionist feats required.

I got picked up by an Italian air hostess in a train on the way to Venice once.

I had been on holiday in the Italian lakes with my (by then three years estranged) wife, our daughter (then 16) and one of her school friends. Up until then Angela and I had got on extremely well even though living apart. But on this holiday we had a huge row. I had arranged rooms in one of the s****iest Venetian hotels for the last week end of the holiday and had been very much looking forward to taking Angela and the two girls there - none of them having visited Venice before and it being one of my favourite cities. But Angela flatly refused to come and arranged to extend her stay and that of the girls in the hotel where we had been holidaying.

Anyway the train was very crowded and I had to stand in an area between two carriages near the door, crowded in with lots of others also standing. It was a bank holiday week end and the world and his wife was travelling. A conversation sprang up among those of us standing together which became quite lively despite my three words of Italian and the limited english of some of the other people. For a part of the journey three youngsters from the States got in although they did a certain amount of moaning about having to stand. Anyway the air hostess had quite good english and was right next to me so I was talking with her mostly. And, towards the end of the journey she started leaning up against me. So I asked if she would like to join me for a meal in Venice (she lived in one of the towns on the edge of the lagoon) and she said yes. In the end, we spent that week end together.

Although - much younger than Angela though this lass was, and pretty (and an air hostess to boot )- the truth is that I stayed miserable throughout. I did my best to be attentive to the Italian girl but my mind was really full of Angela and our row.

The girl enjoyed herself, though. Because I went through a bit of a phase, starting that week-end, of making myself feel a bit better by splashing money around like water. And if you are mad enough, or miserable enough, to go in for spectacular consumption there is just nowhere like Venice to do it in.

First off because I hadn't read his post until now. Second he admitted to being a man slut.
Third as far as I can tell he didn't do anything to prepare for it. It just happened.

And yes that would put him in a bit of the slime ball catagory however, it also puts the girl in the same catagory if not more so because she inititated it with a total stranger so that makes her the bigger slut. He just capitulated. Josh, I would hope you had the good sense to use protection!

This is the main point I think - I have (hardly) ever done anything to chat up women. If it happens, it happens, and I am not sleazy enough to go around on the hunt for sex.

In fact, although you may not believe it, I don't really enjoy sex that much - I would much rather have a pleasant dinner and with nice conversation than have sweaty, passionate sex. (The 'manslut' comment was just for fun.)

I value a woman for her company - not her body.

Coincidentally that same summer I was chatted up by another German girl in a train in Switzerland (she broke the ice by helping to translate to the conductor), and we ended up dating for a few months. I seem to be irresistable to German girls in trains. (I always regretted how we broke up - we had a row, and in a huff I left the country leaving no forwarding address. I always wondered what happened to her...)

#1, I've seen your pics, AS, you aren't unattractive.

#2, EVERYONE has to deal with the possibility of dying on a daily basis. Some folks got it worse than you, like cops or firemen or soldiers. Everyday I ride my bike on the streets of Jax is another day I'm playing dodgeball with death. Meh. If you try and hide from death, all I really hide from is life, and death finds you anyway. Just keep your wits about you.

#3, your attitude about sex is patronizing, archiac, and completely out of step with 90% of the population, and you ain't Christian, so that locks you out of the hookin' up with the other group that hides from their human nature.

The actual cause of your troubles is, you're an *ssh*l*. You are not, however, a confident *ssh*l*, so you can't pick up anyone. If you didn't hammer people with your holier-than-thou, BS, Victorian morality, you might find women who were willing to wait for you, as long as you don't expect them to be virgins already.

Absolutely. I admit that things have certainly not gone according to plan for me. But I am not expecting a virgin or some greek goddess - I am realistic about these things.

You just have to learn to shelve this problem tidily out of the way and get on with your life. That is what I have had to do.

I was hopeless years ago wasn't I, yet now I've count of the number of girls I've pulled in the last couple of weeks. Maybe they're just easier because it's end of term, or they are liking my I-don't-give-a-**** attitude because it's getting near end of term. Something's working anyway

You're not completely realistic. You need to consider alternative methods of meeting people, internet match sites, speed dating, get friends to set you up, Asian bride, etc. Sex is a normal, healthy part of being human. Not having sex is not only depressing, it also is unhelathy, as it raises stress and increases your chances of prostate cancer (though I suppose masturbation will help).

Not having gay sex, specifically, drastically increases your chances of prostate cancer.

Hetero sex doesn't do nearly as much.

I have read - although it is to be admitted not in anything like an authoritative source - that advanced practitioners of yoga aid the development of their disciplines by making love for long periods but never ejaculating; a practice apparently based on some rather similar notion that retaining their seed has some important physical or religious benefit.

So you could try that.

Che is right, your attitude is keeping you back as I said earlier. You spout bs that only you are interested in and you have to learn how to be interested in other people and not try to impress them with your "knowledge or big words." As well as get a freeking grip. There are no more virgins and if they exsist they are more then likely religious and go to church which you don't so that's one more loop you've taken yourself out of.

East ~ Tantric Sex. Sting practices it and states that he can go for at least 5 hours before ejaculation.

On the notion of abstaing........PIFFLE!!! And this is from a medical standpoint. In my medical class last night my professor was instructing us on skin and tactile responses. It is a proven fact and studies have been done on this that a person needs to be touched 12 times a day or more. We need that human interaction. And no that doesn't mean spanking the monkey It means that we need that human interaction with another human. And Albieeeee if you don't step down off that high horse your on your never going to have anything but saddle sores!

It's like Che said.

Confidence can make all the difference. If you know what you believe, you will always find women who will be attracted to that.

I disagree that you can't find nice women while abstinent. I've known a few who don't seem to mind my position on sex. For some it can be very refreshing.
