Dawes – Love Is All I Am

Dear Sasha,
I think that I’m a sex addict. I don’t seem to be able to stay loyal in a relationship. Every woman I have ever dated I have cheated on multiple times, and I constantly think about sex. The woman I’m currently dating could be someone that I would like to build a life together, however I have already cheated and I’m afraid that I’ll do it again.

Sincerely,
Perplexed by my sexual appetite

Dear Perplexed-
This is a tough one for me. Constantly thinking about sex and wanting to act on your urges just means you’re a man, but the wandering eye is troubling. To be totally candid, I have never been faithful in a relationship either and it’s something that really worries me. I can’t speak to the nature of your desire, but I can tell you that for me, the reason I cheated was two-fold:

First, I was young and stupid, not thinking about how hurt my boyfriends would have been if they discovered I was stepping out on them. Second, I wasn’t getting what I really wanted in my relationships—be it love, affection, support, intellectual stimulation—so I sought it elsewhere.

As I’ve gotten older, I realized just how destructive my behavior was and it scared the hell out of me. I haven’t been in a serious relationship in several years and sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever be able to be with just one man. I want to believe yes, but you never know until the moment arises. That doesn’t make me a sex addict, it just makes me human. In recent years, the question of the viability of monogamy has been roundly raised and, for the first time, people started to admit that perhaps it wasn’t the most natural urge to follow.

Here’s what I’ve come to believe; being with one person isn’t natural, it’s a choice, a really difficult, demanding choice that you have to make every minute of every day, the same way an alcoholic takes it one day at a time.

You might not be ready for monogamy and, if that’s the case, you have to be honest with yourself and your girlfriend. Having already cheated on her, the sad truth is your relationship is doomed. Once you tell her, she won’t be able to trust you, and if you don’t tell her, she shouldn’t anyway.

Give yourself some time and some space to be single and decide if being in a committed relationship is right for you and, if it is, that you’re prepared to be in it 100%.

Living in southern California, sometimes it’s hard to tell that the seasons have changed but apparently it’s spring. The snow (whatever that is) has begun its retreat, the sun has returned and flowers are in bloom. It’s a time where we shed out warm, bulky layers for a lighter, frillier option. Spring just has a carefree, breezy feel to it and spring fashion always seems to reflect that. Much like the flowers they draw their inspiration from, floral prints are beginning to sprout up. Flow light, loose tops to flowing dresses, this trend is back in bloom and I, for one, happily welcome its return.

Floral prints are vibrant, feminine and sexy while seeming effortless: a perfect casual date choice. The print has countless variations and can be found in almost any color and pattern imaginable. From small ditsy print flowers for that laid-back boho feel to larger, more intricate floral patters for a more elegant look, this trend has something for every taste.

This is a very easy manageable look. Like all patterns, the trick to pulling it off is to not overdo it. As beautiful and fun as floral print can be, it will take over if you let it. For example, if you’re wearing a floral print maxi dress, try pairing it with a solid scarf in a complimentary color. This works the opposite way, too. A pretty floral scarf or top can make an otherwise ordinary outfit pop.

Here in Los Angeles, we’ve already had weather in the nineties. I’m not trying to rub it in for the people still trapped in winter’s clutches but it has been fun to start pulling my spring and summer wardrobe out of the back of my closet. I have two pieces in particular; a brown and white silk floral scarf and a knee-length blue ditsy print dress that I was excited to find. It was like meeting up with old friends.

That’s the thing about prints, floral or otherwise: they’re memorable and they’re fun to wear. So much of our wardrobe can seem like a joyless necessity, especially in winter. It’s nice to have something you look forward to wearing, something that can lift your mood or make you feel better. Hey, sometimes we need that little extra boost.

That blue dress of mine, I’ve had it for years; longer than I can remember. Yet, somehow, it never feels out of date to me. I love the way it feels and I love how I feel when I wear it. Maybe it’s cliché or trite to say that, but there aren’t enough pieces in my wardrobe that make me feel like that, like a second skin. Especially with my itchy, bulky wool coats still strewn around my apartment as a reminder of the cold weather I’m finally rid of.

I remember wearing that dress on one of the best dates of my life, where we walked to this little taqueria and ate tacos off paper plates while we watched the sunset. So few things in life are like that. I wish life was always so simple and fun.

There are very few things that can absolutely change a moment in your life the second they happen. A baby’s cry can stir up the most dormant of emotions in us that might range from a gentle concern of “Oh, poor baby, I hope he’s ok?” to “Jesus, somebody shut that frickin kid up!” Other times a glass may fall and break or you may have to slam on the breaks at an oncoming yellow street light because you notice a cop in your rearview mirror last second. All of these things have one thing in common, the reactions we have to them are almost always uncontrolled due to the unexpected nature of the incidents. Yet the most unexpected moment that seems to always stand out in my mind is when someone burps loudly in public.

Most of the time these air-polluting anarchists show no shame. They smile, grin, and take pleasure in their new short scented fragrance, while most of us tend to run for the hills at first whiff. If I can just put this out there, “What is wrong with you people?” What is it with our culture that makes people take such pride and satisfaction in creating such belligerence for the people around them? Is it the TV and film influences over the years that have tainted our class and respect for each other? Or have we become so sick and deranged that a cheap toilet bowl humor laugh is always worth taking as far as it can be taken. The answer appears to just not be that simple.

Not making matters any easier to digest is the fact that this has become a passed down tradition that spawns from generation to generation. Father’s train son’s over the early years of their lives at the dinner table to practically master it like an art form. Hell, high school and college students have raging parties that promote it like a sport. Belching contests in some parts of the country have championship titles and cash money paydays for those who can muster the breath of the dark and musty demon from within. Carnivals, Fairs, even the Circus have a forum for it to stand up on and be recognized. I have to say if you didn’t pick up on it already, I’m personally just not a fan.

As a dude, I find it highly unladylike if I’m on a date and she let’s one rip without at least even trying to play it off as embarrassing. Flexing on me like that can definitely get that plug pulled on the evening early that way. I mean not even a Tic Tac is gonna save your butt in that situation. But that’s just me doing me and at the end of the day, you gotta do you. But if you happen to do that something that happens to be loud, crude and raunchy, do me a favor and just don’t blow it my way.

Imagine if you had a choice for the ultimate date, hidden behind three choices?

U2 – All I Want Is You

Dear Sasha,
I have just started seeing a woman that I really like. One huge problem she always asks me over to cook dinner aka eat a home cooked meal and she is a REALLY bad cook! I don’t want to be rude –but her cooking is for the dogs!

Sincerely,
Her cooking is for the dogs?

Dear Doggie Bag,
Have you ever had sex in the kitchen? Now might be the time to start. The next time she invites you over, slide up behind her while she’s slicing and dicing and tell her you want to get something else cookin’. By the time you’re done, she’ll have burned dessert, scorched the sauce and wilted the salad so you can suggest dinner out instead.

But that’s only a short term solution.

If you think there’s a future in the relationship, why not surprise your lady with the gift of cooking lessons that you can take together? That way she won’t realize your ploy straight away and it’s something fun and bonding for both of you. Ultimately, you should be honest with her, knowing that her feelings might be hurt in the moment, but if you offer to learn together, food can be your new foreplay.

You can blindfold each other and have taste tests, go on culinary adventures around your town, and make the kitchen a place to share time. I suggest going to a book store or newsstand, picking out a cookbook or cooking magazine and working your way through the recipes that call out to you together.

Food might end up being a huge asset to your relationship. Done right, it can be incredibly sexy and sensual, or sweetly domestic and romantic. I complete understand what she’s trying to do by cooking you dinner; it’s a shame things have gone so awry. Be patient, be kind and get cooking with her!
