Yes I loved you dearly and if you're offering me diamonds and rust I've already paid

I have previously mentioned my problems with humans.  There are many attempts to label this and frankly I am not sure if diagnoses are totally helpful.  However the fact remains that humans make me very...well nervous is not the word.  It is like the feeling you get when you sit next to a piece of operating high tech high tension equipment.  It is running and you are aware of it.  but you are also aware it can seriously fuck you over with a simple twitch.  And you have no way of predicting its moods.
I can appear to be social and sociable.  This is a performance I switch on and I can sustain it for nearly 2 hrs.  After that time I am exhausted and have to withdraw.  I cannot relax and show my true self around people.
There are 2 reasons for that.  Firstly the risk factor is too high.  Letting others in is too dangerous.  Secondly, and this sounds like dreadful boasting, when I let go and just talk almost nobody is capable of keeping up.  The amount I dumb down in conversation is staggering.  Most of the time talking to people is like wading through jelly. It gives me a headache thinking down to their level, as Marvin used to say.
But at the same time I get very lonely.  And, not to put too fine a point on it, horny.  I am blessed, or cursed, with  very strong sex drive, probably because it is the only form of intimacy I am at ease with, and it is very irritating at times.  Although I am not a Vulcan I am also not an emotional  thinker.  I reason first and wait for emotions later.  So being compelled to do emotey stuff is irritating.
I bring this up because of the breakdown of my marriage, which looks to me to be pretty final, even though I do not want it.
From my point of view I have been on a sexual starvation diet for 10 years.  I stuck with it because wife/promise/family, even though it was killing me.  Remember that other peoples sex drives are different so starvation for me may be a feast for others.
I am now in a situation that I have to go out and try to secure another source of sex (I think they call them relationships or significant others) because I can't go through life without one any more.  I have no idea at all how to do this.  I mean yes, obviously I could pay, which would hav been legal in switzerland, but that is not what I want at all.  Too dangerous.
But then what else do I do?  I cannot go dancing and pull at the bar.  Cruising the cripples at Zebra Con seems tacky. I am forced to try and socialise with humans.  Even go on a date. this has AAAARRRRRGGGG written on it in big letters.  It is very hard to persuae someone to engage in sexual relations after you have spent a date metaphorically holding them off with a whip and a chair.  Also my ability to read subtext is legendary, i.e. nonexistent.  The only times I have successfully worked out that people wanted to shag me is when they have grabbed my genitals.
Maybe I can employ some kind of chatupmonkey?  A feeling-emotion dog for the terminally cue-dense?

  1. Going on xhamster hereabouts one gets plenty of offers of sex without other commitments. Have you looked at local opportunities?

  2. Tinder/Grindr aps for when clearing the tubes is the priority? This is where we need someone with experience of methodically reviewing things-step forward Cathy :-)
    Also, do NOT mention the feeling dog part in your profile, unless you want very specific replies.

  3. Yes thanks for that harmless. I am totally out of my depth here - I married my first and only boyfriend *blush*.

    I do wonder though if Guardian soulmates might yield a better class of respondent, if class is on the agenda (?). https://soulmates.theguardian.com/

    On the upside, you're not likely to get too many UKIP members on that site! Though having said that there is probably a disproportionate number of social workers.

  4. OKCupid has a big no-nonsense streak of people who just want a quick hookup, and they skew to being less self-absorbed than tindr and grindr. All are a good start though.

    And cruising for other bendies is pretty reasonable - We all seem to be bisexual, are medically noted for having high sex drives (Something about blood pooling under gravity messing with receptors in the pelvis and saying that we're up for it rather than that we're just sitting upright) and - crucially - will not have a panic attack if you dislocate a shoulder during sex and say "Oh fuck it, just keep going".

    Also, LoveHoney have a sale on at the minute and their loyalty programme is amazing if you just need to spend a while getting in touch with your inner sphincter.

  5. Percy, only you could write a sentence like that last one. I have given up blushing for the duration.

    1. I do wonder if there's a way of harnessing all the thermal/light energy generated by the blushes caused by the bendy blogs and their comments, and turning it to good use.

  6. Good morning. I've learned a lot by coming here...
    In the far and misty long ago when I was young and beautiful I used to make it perfectly clear if I was up for it by taking all my clothes off and smiling. I couldn't be arsed with all the game playing. Most men (I'm not bi) were relieved but a few were so shocked they were unable to rise to the occasion.
    Inky, in the unlikely event that you'll casually bump into someone like I once was, doing a bit of thinking and detailed classification beforehand might be more productive. Online first seems sensible. Nothing wrong with paying for it either IMO, but I guess you get what you pay for. A bit of a quick fumble round the back of the chip shop isn't really your scene, is it, however desperate? There used to be ads for discreet escort services... or am I horribly out of date?

    1. I know a couple of people who work both outcall and incall, and are discreet, friendly and professional. So there are still definitely escorts, many of them very nice people.

      As another one of the "Drop trou, smile, hope" brigade, there must be plenty of us out there. Also, don't be scared to just fling yourelf at someone - The worst they can say is "aargh!"
