The other day I finally got close to this guy I’ve been scoping out for weeks. He hit every note of what I look for in a guy and, after running my long game, I create a scenario where I very subtly let him know I was interested, then got us alone. And as soon as I had my hands around his neck, right up against his chest… disaster. Complete disaster. My new boy was wearing Le Labo… the distinct intoxicating smell brought me right back to a very recent, and very painful, relationship I ended. Boys, you’re playing a dangerous game wearing cologne out. I promise that you smell AMAZING without any cologne at all and, please, let your girl mark you with a scent. How things smell has a powerful effect over me. Clean and fresh bedsheets are a huge aphrodisiac. And Le Labo pulls my olfactory senses back to an amazing, GORGEOUS, fun, intelligent guy I dated who compulsively would not stop lying to me.
Now, I’m poly and I honestly don’t think most people understand what that actually means. They think it means you get to fuck around in a relationship, but nothing could be further from the truth. Being poly DOES NOT absolve dishonesty. Everything is a discussion. Everything is out in the open. And Mr Le Labo for some reason didn’t understand that simple truth. We’d be together and his phone would blow up with other girls and I’d ask, “oh, who’s that? Is she cute?” and then he’d lie. On top of that, he would get insanely jealous if I did anything and was always pressuring me to be exclusive with him. Like, for example, I have this one male friend, he says he’s bi, but the one time we had sex, he could cum or even keep it up… but we have a lovely ceremony once or twice a month we call “movie night” where I come over his house and we cuddle and watch trash tv. Oh, and we cuddle naked. It’s amazing because it’s that raw, unadulterated intimacy I sometimes crave with none of the pawing most boys tend to do. Honestly, it’s one of my most satisfying partners and Mr Labo lost it when I told him. IDK
So… what did I do with my latest boy… wearing the same cologne as the liar… easy. I suggested we hop in the shower and have a little fun. It fast forwarded the two of us getting naked and, most importantly, washed off all of those bad memories from his amazing body.
