I am uncomfortable.

I have clicked on your sexy article and…whoa. I feel like I’m standing in the door with an ice cream cone, vanilla dripping from my elbow and my throat closing up tight as I stare, wide-eyed at the sexy I just walked in on.

Well, this is truly awkward. I don’t know whether to keep reading — because this just got pretty real and personal — or to look away quickly, my eyes, my eyes.

I really don’t know how you do it. Well, actually…I do know how you do it, and with whom, and well…all of those details. It’s a bit warm in here, don’t you think?

Some of you are leading far sexier lives than I. That is not to say I don’t have my fair share of sexy going on (not sure if past tense might be a bit more appropriate here?) but sharing it, whew, I do not know about that.

I can’t. Go. There.

I mean, reading about all of your indiscretions is making me sweat. Don’t get me wrong — I am no prude — but there’s kind of this idea that my sexy is reserved, something I am careful with whom and with however many details I choose to share, discuss, describe.

As humans we are a curious bunch. And we are sexual creatures. Put those two things in a bag and shake…
