SEX FILES: Communication the key for any successful relationship
When I was in my early twenties, I had an on-again-off-again thing with a guy who would disappear for weeks or months on end after every time we hooked up. Even though the sex was hot and frequently occurred in new and interesting locations (a deserted restaurant hallway here, a back alley there), it always felt a bit like I was playing a demented game of sexual whack-a-mole. I never knew if or when he would resurface, so we could do it again. While I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the thrill of the chase, mostly, our affair left me feeling aggravated, hurt, and longing for more. Eventually, I had to sever all ties.
