Ryan ChartrandI’ve watched far too many episodes of “Sex and the City” to ignore the fact that there are women out there who actually can separate emotion from sex. It is not just men.
The “make out and peace out” scenarios highlight the fact that, quite often, one party in this type of pairing is ultimately hurt. It’s easy for your friends to say, “Just move on,” or, “They aren’t worth your time.” As much as a person truly does want to get over it, I think it’s unreasonable to assume that one (or both) of the people involved can leave an intimate situation with no emotional investment.
If there are people out there who just want to have sex for the sake of having sex, then go for it. Sex is a basic, carnal desire that all humans have. I get it. Nevertheless, a person who wants to establish the parameters of a relationship before or after having sex is no cause for the other person to freak and “peace out.”
Believe it or not, some people just like knowing that the person they are involved with is not involved with several other people simultaneously. I understand that society is changing and the “make out and peace out” scenario is becoming ever more prevalent; however, I still maintain that some people prefer to be in a committed relationship before taking a dive.
After all, what is the point of being with another person if you cannot be with them wholeheartedly?
