One Night Stranded Should Tell Woman Something

DEAR SUSAN: I am 45 and soon to be divorced. I raised three children, who are now grown and married. My husband and I grew apart in the last years of the marriage, and I've been celibate for two years. Lately, though, I've been feeling very alive and sensual.

Recently, I asked a wonderful single man I know if he'd consider a few hours of "pleasure," no strings attached. He said he would, but then he changed his mind. He didn't give a reason. How do I ask another man in a way that won't get me rejected again?

- Desperate to Feel Like a Woman. Long Island, N.Y.

DEAR DESPERATE: You don't. Take a cue from this wonderful man and his second thoughts and stop and think this through. This is a delicate phase you're going through, a mixture of all sorts of feelings and moods, a time for clear thinking. Your idea of going from man to man, asking for sex, shows me anything but. The next time you're feeling supersensual, let a cold shower remind you that a period of celibacy can be extremely creative and fulfilling, and that channeling your libido into self-expression can make you feel more of a woman than any amount of loveless sex. Give it a try. The offer comes with no strings.

Write to Susan Deitz c/o DivorceInteractive.com, 94 Second Street, Mineola, N.Y. 11501. She will answer all letters that come with a self-addressed, stamped envelope.

Note to Susan:

Celibate means unmarried. Chaste means not having sex.

"""Some guy passed on a freebie? This lady must be hideous."""

This may sound bad but in reality it is not very hard for a woman to find a "no strings attached" romp. All she has to do is go to the bar and talk to the first guy there or go outside and flag down the first car she sees.

2 entries found for Celibate.
cel·i·bate ( P ) Pronunciation Key (sl-bt)
n.
One who abstains from sexual intercourse, especially by reason of religious vows.
One who is unmarried.

adj.
Abstaining from sexual intercourse, especially by reason of religious vows.
Unmarried; unwed.




[Latin caelibtus, from caelebs, caelib-, unmarried.]
Usage Note: Historically, celibate means only “unmarried” its use to mean “abstaining from sexual intercourse” is a 20th-century development. But the new sense of the word seems to have displaced the old, and the use of celibate to mean “unmarried” is now almost sure to invite misinterpretation in other than narrowly ecclesiastical contexts. Sixty-eight percent of the Usage Panel rejected the older use in the sentence He remained celibate [unmarried], although he engaged in sexual intercourse.

It's hard for some who haven't developed the skills to manage on their own.

As for sex,
well, there are ways around the problem.

'nuf said.

Dear Desperate to Feel Like a Woman,

There are many ways to feel like a woman that don’t involve men (or women, vegetables or appliances, for that matter!)

At 45, you may still have a “monthly visitor.” Revel in that fact. Nothing says woman like bloating, backache and menstrual cramps.

With your kids and husband out of the picture, your house is probably clean and your laundry is probably done. No wonder you’re out of sorts! What’s more womanly than household chores? Why don’t you volunteer to help out someone else who is overwhelmed by hers. (I’ll FReepmail you my address.)

Plan some girlie activities for your life. Get your nails done, see a chick flick, go to JoAnn’s Fabrics with the 40% off coupon. Go see Menopause the Musical with your gal pals. You will either have your female needs met, or realize that the girlie stuff isn’t really all that fulfilling. In either case, problem solved.

Get a job for which you are vastly overqualified. Request a pay rate lower than any male counterpart.

Forget the cold shower – channel your sexual energy into home improvement. It’s great exercise and will increase your net worth – and your home will look fabulous! If your home is already in perfect shape, volunteer to help someone else with home repairs. (I’ll FReepmail you my address.)

Go to church and connect with the One who made you. He knows how to make you truly fulfilled, regardless of your circumstances. Besides, there are lots of good, strong men who would make good husbands in the church. Just stay away from the ones who already are good husbands!

It was priceless - that and giving out an email in case she wants to come help Chanticleer clean her own mess.
