This time: Ex Sex

CINDY: Welcome to this installment of the Pleasure Patrol Forum, No Innuendo Required. This week we tackle the subject of Ex Sex. Let's get to it. Should you or shouldn't you?

AMBER: If it's just for the sex, yes. Otherwise no.

BRAD: But what constitutes an ex?

CINDY: Perhaps, someone you're NOT having sex with.

BRAD: Exactly!

AMBER: Wait. You have to not have had sex with them for awhile for them to be considered an ex. It just can't be someone you're dating that you're not having sex with!

CINDY: Important point. For our discussion let's define an ex as someone you haven't had sex with in the last six months and that you're not dating. That said, I read a magazine article years ago that described ex sex as like an old pair of blue jeans.

AMBER: Ew. I hope no one describes me like that!

BRAD: I doubt anyone would.

CINDY: Alright, why is ex sex good, why is it bad? Amber?

AMBER: First ex sex is only good if it was good before they were an ex. Second ex sex is good because you don't have to learn any new tricks. Third ex sex is bad because you don't have to learn any new tricks.

BRAD: Tricks huh?

CINDY: Ex sex good? Bad? Brad?

BRAD: Hmmm. If you're the one pursuing or it just sort of happens that's fine. You just have to be careful that's what it is -- just ex sex and not a new path down an old road.

CINDY: You're both right. There's less awkwardness, this is someone you know and hopefully you both know how to ring each other's bells.

AMBER: Bells?

CINDY: Yes bells. Multiple bells!

BRAD: Hmmm.

AMBER: Any tricks you'd like to share with us?

CINDY: Well I could mention this one thing, though it wasn't with an ex at the time, though they turned out to be. It's not kinky really, but it involves some well let's just say female things.

AMBER: I would hope so.

BRAD: I don't think I want to know right now.

CINDY: Fair enough. Where were we?

AMBER: Ding-dong

CINDY: Ah yes, well if that's all it is, ex sex, that's all it is. We can discuss another time about the whole sex question.

BRAD: What's the question?

AMBER: I don't know what the "sex question" is but I think the answer's Yes!

CINDY: Ex sex is bad if it's an attempt on either side to get back together, or someone thinks it's getting back together and the other doesn't, unless the sex is a progression of getting back together, in which case it's debatable on whether they are ex's at that point.

AMBER: Soooo, basically, causal sex with old friends is fine.

BRAD: Who said anything about friends? And why do they have to be old?

CINDY: To be an ex denotes a certain amount of time has passed from the beginning of the friendship, if we can call it that, so I believe old friends is correct.

BRAD: What about causal sex with just friends?

AMBER: Unless you've dated them before it's not ex sex, it doesn't count.

CINDY: Closing thoughts? Amber?

AMBER: Even if the sex is fantastic you'll usually be reminded of why you're not dating the person anymore and then you can just enjoy the great sex. You don't feel guilty about sending them home.

CINDY: Brad?

BRAD: It truly depends on the ex. No psycho ex sex. Bad idea.

CINDY: All excellent points. Important to keep in mind, if you can get, get while you can. Next week, Wearing a thong? Why wear underwear at all? It's been a pleasure and remember, "No innuendo required."
