By the way, this is in US. And we are in Asia. I am right now in Malaysia but originally from India. And we have something etched by the British who once had ruled us… over 250 years back, in our books of law… in an article coded 377 in India...

And many British Gays and Lesbians performed public civil union ceremonies in front of friends and families… and we are yet to figure out how best not to present ourselves in public for the fear of landing behind bars, or more dangerously, being disowned by our parents and ousted from business…

Well… like everything has its good side… being able to agree to “head” does have its advantages… like when you are appearing for a casting call or in a job interview at times…

Oh no… not just a casting couch case… it saves so many who need it to get the few kicks from the countless white, brown and black powders and leaves…

Well, there were never a dirth of aging married men whose wives have lost the libido or have developed the curves and folds that makes them preferred inside the kitchen or at kittie parties than anywhere else… or to those who suppressed the love for another man and gave themselves to the faith of another women… and money is never an issue here…

And to the occasional few sex comes to boost their self esteem… the sense that they too are wanted in this world… so what no one ones to dance with them at parties, or the cuter guys at work or social gathering are just polite and smile past…

And the final few who, blessed are they for they have survived the sinful world and managed to survive with a partner, uses sex as their only mean to show that they are still committed to the other. While the fresh new face they stumbled across the corridors of work or at the bar of a pub, whose political insight or casual smile at the lame jokes, and come-on-we-know-what-we-want-but-you-are-taken smile makes it so attractive that you wish the sms you sent in the afternoon from work gets you a reply, continues to breathe upon you even when you embrace the one whom the public calls your betrothed…

And kamasutra designed sex in all its possible form to ignite passion an define newer means of pleasure.. and not just for the sake of it… but to bring closer two people who would truly feel the beauty of it.

Maybe we are having too much sex, thats why we find so many profiles saying that they dont want people who are just looking for sex. But the point to be noted here, is that they are looking for someone who can look beyond sex. And the ones who say that they are not looking for sex, means that they are getting it and hence need something else…

Hence, while you feel taken aback at the next profile you click says that sex is not a priority, do know that it is a necessity. No matter what they say…

After all, asexual beings would have never created a profile. What say?
