Love, sex and other thoughts on Sunday

Today a friend confessed her indiscretions to me. You know, these days, infidelity, polygamy, everything is blurring. Now I'm not condoning extra marital affairs; it's just that in some cases, you grab love and affection wherever you can.

Sometimes you're in a relationship/marriage that you can't seem to get out of - kids, family, whatever, all these stop you from leaving. We all have reasons for not leaving, and no matter what other people say, only you know when it's time to go.

For some, these affairs are about pure, raw sex. For many, it's the search for companionship and touch.

Let's talk about touch.

If you're in a marriage, and yes you both love each other very much, but one of you is incapable of expressing love physically, your partner will die a slow death. And I'm not even talking about sex. I'm talking about caresses, murmured whispers about how white your skin is, how smooth it feels to the hands and how it emanates this soft glow, this scent. For women, sensuality is key to their confidence. You can have sex 10 x a day but what tingles your spine when you're at work, alone or with friends, are memories of the senses being evoked.

Remember your first kiss? How nervous you both were, and yet you knew, this was it. Think of the first instance your upper lip touched his and as nervousness fell away, how your lips and his caressed each other, exploring, moulding, tasting, and each pressure of the kiss.

I don't know about men, but this is what women want. The romance, the raw chemistry, the memory. There will be times when all you want to do is touch your own skin, remembering his imprints, his hands. And if there is a woman who does not want this, then she's a corpse.

My friend fell in love with someone. Her partner was too engrosed with his own charade, and one day she realised she needed that touch, that warm breath as sweet words are said, and for a while, it was glorious. Of course it ended. In the end, in KL, it's okay for a man to cheat, but for a woman, whatever her reasons are, she's a whore.

Sometimes she gets text messages, asking her, where are you? I waited for hours to catch sight of your car, but you never came.

"Was I wrong to have that affair?"

One part of me wanted to say you bad girl you. But I know her. I've seen her tears. I've witnessed how her love is bruised, again and again, when she slow danced with her partner. And I've observed her strength, as she told herself, it will be all right, everything will be all right.

These days, you try to grab love wherever you can, because unlike in our parents' age, love in the 21st century is elusive. Oh you can love a person deeply, but one day you'll realise that love is not enough.

BTW it's my kid sister's birthday today. It's her 30th! Happy Birthday Lizard Bloopy!!! I'm broke so you'll have to wit for your present!
