On our date, I had even reassured him he could date and sleep with whoever he wanted. I would still date him and get to know him. I just wasn’t going to sleep with him while he was sleeping with other women.

I don’t understand this. My understanding of sexual energy is that if one is transmitting or sharing it with many others, then for someone who wants monogamy and gives that energy to only one person at a time, all you’re getting in return are fragments of the other person. That happened to me once, all I got was fragments, and it sucked. It literally sucked, as I felt drained.

And just to be clear, when I speak of sexual energy, it isn’t just the act of sex, it’s how you look at each other, the banter, the hope, the thoughts.
