Casual sex as a panacea
A friend called me this morning worried that her newfound sluttiness might not be a symptom of post-Katrina disconnectedness but rather some new identity she has foisted upon herself as of late. I told her to quit beating herself up over a few (let’s call them) indiscretions because after all she is seeking to connect with someone and it’s not her fault she hasn’t found the perfect fit. There are a lot of people doing what they can to feel reconnected – I’d rather a girl risk carnal knowledge of a few good men than turn to other vices as a panacea.
If it makes you feel good, it can’t be that bad – the songwriter sings.
