The last time someone kissed me without the exclusive intent of it leading to sex was in August 2019. On the 29th to be exact.
I had gone for a brief drink with someone I had recently met. We both had evening engagements and we kissed as we parted. The sole purpose of the drink and the kiss was to indulge in the sheer pleasure of each other's company. The purpose was, one could say, romance.
I haven't experienced any kind of romance since, and even casual sex has been a non-occurrence in the past few months. I note with sadness how much I yearn for intimacy and affection that goes beyond the platonic. I am also horny.
