I have that one ex who I still keep in touch with to get me through the “dry spells.” But, being a girl, I sometimes confuse this with a relationship and get upset when he doesn’t call. This last time, I decided it was over when I looked at my phone and realized that in the 3 weeks since we had “reconnected.”  He never called and only sent text messages late on Friday nights.

Aftermath: It’s embarrassing that this has happened so many times, but what can I say? I’ll let you know the aftermath in 3 months or so.

He suggested we have sex and I agreed if he had protection. He stands up, digs through his laundry hamper and pulls out a condom that’s already been opened and unrolled.

Aftermath: I never slept with him, though we continued seeing each other for a month because I felt bad.

I was going down on this girl, working pretty hard, and all of a sudden she says, totally deadpan, “I would really be enjoying this if my medication didn’t kill my sex drive.”

Aftermath: I finished the deed that night, but broke off contact shortly thereafter.

On our first date we headed to the car for some making out. After parking somewhere and getting it started in the back seat, Round 1 ended. Round 2 starts and I’m down south and he farts. “Oops, sorry babe…”

Aftermath: It didn’t smell, but for some reason my stomach hurts every time I think about it.

I found myself between my boyfriend and his best friend in bed. There was a lot of heavy petting which could have gotten hot had my boyfriend not flipped out about how weird it was. I didn’t run after him. His best friend and I have been together for 5 years since.

Aftermath: The relationship was going south anyway. We are all still friends. No potential threesomes have happened since.
