Dear Dra. Holmes: (continuation of Janice’s letter)
And here is my another stupid problem, I made love with my long time crush who is already married and had one kid... and it happened again when I was drunk... Dra. Holmes, I’m so flirty and horny when I drink too much...
I knew it was a sin, a very unforgivable sin to have sex to a committed guy, but I feel something for him, so I seduced him when we had a chance to date and I got drunk...
And now, we still have communication and we text and flirt with each other...
Do you think Dra. Holmes, that I’m so greedy for sex?... and why it is easy for me to give up myself when I’m drunk?... and why do I easily get attached to the person I sexed with?
I just want you to give me a really good advice to how can I overcome this situations or comments on what is happening to me. I just need some advice badly. I Know you can help me. Thanks in advance -- Janice
Dear JANICE:
No, you are not too greedy for sex, though many Filipinos might think sex with 3 men before one reaches 21 is a bit much.
But you needn’t bother about what others think, except maybe a few people whom you respect and whose sense of values you wish to emulate. With any luck, these will be truly good people, relentlessly honest with themselves and intelligent enough to go beyond pedestrian notions of good and evil.
After all, it is possible you may be one of those “modern women.” Although, if truth be told, there were many who also lived the same way in the past (hooray for them too!) Modern as in able to life, love and yes, lust. Modern as in ok with making love to whoever they wanted to.
The above behaviors may come across as terribly irresponsible or worse, immoral to many (mainly those with the pedestrian views I was talking about) but they were/are not necessarily so.
After all, these actions were done by women who were caring as well as horny; and thus made sure no one suffered needlessly for their decisions.
These women also made sure their partners were clear and all right with having sex without being in love.
Frankly though, I doubt that you fall into this category.
If you did, you wouldn’t feel so guilty you had to write me a letter. You wouldn’t need to be drunk in order to have sex.
Many bipolar women tend to behave this way. Of course, it is not only bipolar women who enjoy sex and then feel terribly guilty after. The worse situation of course, is to have sex and feel terribly guilt during (sex). TO BE CONTINUED
