I Asked the Man Who Saved My Life to Date Me. Then He Shared an “Awful” Secret About Our Time Together.
SlateHow to Do It is Slate’s sex advice column. Four years ago, I met this guy “Gary.” He’s about 10 years older than I am and a widower since before I met him—his wife died very young in an auto accident. He might think that, by making it about that impulse of his that he finds mortifying, he’s going to somehow get around saying, “No, I am just not interested.” And even though it’s been the hot new trend for several years to sexualize the daddy and/or mommy dynamic, caretaking can completely destroy sexual interest—and it does often. No matter where you’re coming from, no matter what you look like, there’s going to be somebody in the world who’s like, “I’m not into that,” and that’s fine. Jessica: I’d say since I, “became hot,” which I would call that period after the back brace, the braces with headgear, the glasses that made one eye look bigger than the other, I have a 50 percent, at most 60 percent percent, success rate when I hit on people.
