FAQ: Why are you so sexy?

Guys ask me all the time, "Why are you so sexy?"

I love sex, and I don't believe there is anything wrong with that.

A former boyfriend of mine said he thought of the word "slut" as meaning a woman who loved sex and didn't care who knew it. Well, in that case, I am the biggest slut around. I love sex. I think sex is just about the most fun you can have at speeds less than 30 miles per hour. Sex is playtime for me. I truly enjoy it. I try new things, sometimes. I like doing my favorite old things, again and again and again. I laugh during sex. I crack jokes. I stop in the middle to have some more wine. I instigate quickies because 10 minutes of fun is better than no fun. I get into goofy positions and then laugh about that. I scream and yell, and then laugh about what the neighbors must think.

And being a dancer is just about the most fun I can have at anything resembling a job. After all, it's sort of like sex, but with panty hose on. (I have a joke about that, but its sort of a visual thing. Ask me when you see me.) I laugh and joke and drink and play around. I'm a happy girl at work. It shows.

I also don't believe there is anything inherently wrong with sex or with enjoying your sexuality. After all, sex was the beginning of my kid and everybody else I love. It keeps the human race going. It is simply a part of us, an undeniable physical drive coupled with the potential to produce intense pleasure. Why complicate something so simple and good with a bunch of taboos, guilt, conditions, or other craziness?

Lots of womens' magazines (like Cosmopolitan) like to write articles about how "sexy" is an attitude. They tell you that the key to sexiness is confidence. I know plenty of attractive, confident women who are not especially sexy (Hillary Clinton comes to mind). What's really sexy, if you ask me, is someone who genuinely likes sex.

So if that makes me a slut, then sign me up.
