NSA?


NSA. Never Sing Alone? No Silly Answers? Nice Sweet Ass? No, even better…NSA…No.Strings.Attached. In a world where sex is rampant and love is a rarity, are we being led to believe that a love life of No Strings Attached is the new norm? I’m pretty sure it’s a known fact that when a woman has sex with a guy who she even has a smidge of a crush on, that once the deal is done, she likes him more (even if it wasn’t life altering layage). Guys on the other hand seem to have no problem with the chew and screw or wam bam thank you ma’am concepts. Puff.
Granted I’ve known a gal or two who has freely admitted to taking advantage of the male skill of not becoming attached simply because it’s been a while for her…or she just needed to feel wanted, even if just for a night. And typically, she checks her phone for the next week hoping he’ll call…and he doesn’t. Puff. And in the other corner, we’ve got…the guy…the guy who has zero problem having relations with said girl and never talking to her again. Puff. A male acquaintance of mine told me he was contemplating having a NSA encounter with a lady friend of his, but was afraid she would become attached. And then he said this (brace yourselves), “The aftermath isn’t worth my deposit.” (Yes…he said…deposit.) Is it possible for us to rewire ourselves to not become attached once we’ve sealed the deal?Puff.
I become attached to a pair of shoes the instant I buy them, so how are we not supposed to become attached to a cute boy who pays attention to us and gives us an O!? Puff. Do we channel the most arrogant, pretentious guy we know and just convince ourselves that we’ve simply used the guy for their goods and then meet our girlfriends for lunch without gushing? If only we could channel Samantha from Sex and the City and pretend like the double standard of NSA for women isn’t completely different from men. Puff. Guy has NSA lovin with a handful (or more!) of girls and he’s a rockstar. Girl does the same thing…whorebag. What the!? How does that make sense? Is it because society instinctively knows that it takes the exception to the rule girl to change the NSA guy? Puff.
NSA. What a concept. There are those of us who can and will try to embrace it. Some will succeed, while others will cry into their latte the next day because he hasn’t called. Either way, we as women are wired to love, to become attached and to expect an effing call..a text..a smoke signal…something! In an age where love is becoming harder to come by because NSA lovin has become the norm, perhaps we hold on to our strings with all we’ve got. Depuff.

  1. I agree, as a man who doesn't buy into the NSA method, not just because I am married now, I think this is a sad state of affairs. I have always had to have a connection of some kind with the person I sleep with and maybe I am just old fashioned but I believe that is something you can't discount. Love the Blog and don't worry, there are still some good guys out there! ;)
