I had to put up with the irritation until I got home. That may be part of the explanation for why, nowadays, I prefer women to be shaven. Of course, I sometimes get bored with sex. During that time, I still had sex every day, but only with myself. Indeed, even when I am taking part in some kinky group sex activity, I will often be fantasising at the same time.
Fantasies can be better than the reality.
They can be an alternative to it or they can enhance it. I read in the press back in March that, according to the General Household Survey, four out of ten single women aged between 16 and 49 say they are not having regular sex. It was clear this was taken to mean that they were not having sex with another person. I bet all of them, or almost all of them, are regular masturbators. And of course, when masturbating they will be fantasising about having sex with another person.
