Sex and a mother figure? maybe that is more correct...

I'm tired of loving myself. If there's a too much, I love myself too much.
There's a difference between mothering, sex, and a partnership. I can call my boys from work if I need the marble top table moved. I can put on the tangerine lip gloss and chat up any number of nice little college boys in my town eager to please women. If I want to mother something, I'll overwhelm the cat as per my method. :-)

But in romance, there's this unique desire to really give yourself to a person, to give aid and succor (forgive me, Stephen King), and to truly intimately KNOW a person.

Look, I love me some girlfriends and guy friends, and no one connects the way my girls and I do, but there's a deep emotional difference and comfort in a real partner's body and mind.
