Where did all the good girls go?
Empty, drunken, emotion-free sex is not about wanting to connect with people, desperate for some form of intimacy. It is a falsehood, an attempt to keep people at a distance, to stop oneself from feeling. It is the opposite. It is designed to ensure you do not feel, do not care, do not have others care about you. To feel the fear of falling and maybe getting lost is the scariest thing of all. So to obliterate any sense of communion, togetherness of humanity, to prevent others from seeing your frailties, failures and flaws, we enact bold, brazen sexual contracts, brief, meaningless and the antithesis of intimate. We ensure that we keep ourselves emotionally unavailable.
