I&#8217;m with Amelie. She&#8217;s one of the babes I&#8217;ve been corresponding with from the internet dating site. Ouch. Pain. Groin strain. Babeage deluxe.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out we&#8217;ve met before, at a party a year and a half ago, back when I was still single (pre-Jacqui) and she was single. And for some reason, we were ships in the night, and beyond flirting, nothing happened.<\/p>\n<p>Now we&#8217;re       both on the same dating site. Gee, uh, small world, uh, uhm, what a       coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve told Amelie that I&#8217;m in the starting throes of a possible relationship with Karen, and that coffee would be platonic, and would that be cool with her? It&#8217;s cool. So here we are. And I&#8217;m talking about my new-found interest in kinky sex.<\/p>\n<p>And, uh&#8230; small world&#8230; she&#8217;s fully into it herself. Lived a full on kinkster lifestyle for years before her daughter was born. She&#8217;s now two-and-a-bit years old. &#8220;I&#8217;ve just come out of a one-year relationship,&#8221; she says. And the dude just wasn&#8217;t into kinky stuff. I told him about my past, and I&#8217;ve got loads of books and things. Every now and again, he&#8217;d ask me about it, and I&#8217;d show him a book. He&#8217;d look at the TAMEST of things and get nauseous, and then we wouldn&#8217;t have sex for ages. And then he&#8217;d ask again, and the same thing. He&#8217;s a realllllly good guy, but in the end, we weren&#8217;t having any sex at all. And while the rest of the relationship was great, there was just nothing happening sexually.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This girl&#8217;s beautiful beyond       comprehension.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The final straw,&#8221; she says, &#8220;was when we went to a vampire party. I dressed up in some bondage gear &#8212; I&#8217;ve got a huge collection of toys, by the way &#8212; a corset, rubber, that sort of thing, and the party just blew his mind.&#8221; She pauses. &#8220;But he tried.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And she&#8217;s an artist.<\/p>\n<p>I tell her about my monogamy, and that I&#8217;m grappling with it, and that I don&#8217;t necessarily want it. And we go into some of the philosophical areas of monogamy, what it means, why we do it. And I&#8217;m in serious paradigm shift territory. I wish Karen would get back from her holiday on the South Coast so we can have a good chat and some hard sex. With ropes.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh heck!&#8221; says Amelie. We&#8217;ve been       totally absorbed in each other. &#8220;It&#8217;s four o&#8217;clock!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve       gotta go to Fashion Week,&#8221; I say. &#8220;Go! It&#8217;s not rude! No       apologising, please!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When I was a kid, I thought I was a vampire.       I wonder if that makes it okay for me to bite her neck?       <\/p>\n<div class=\"blogger-post-footer\">Roy Blumenthal is a writer, director, artist, and <a href=\"http:\/\/snipurl.com\/visualfacilitator\">visual facilitator<\/a>.
