it’s a girl thing
by henrietta henry
Ah springtime. It’s finally here! Besides the fantastic weather, the rad break from school,
and the promise of fun BBQs, springtime makes me think about...well, sex! It’s true! Spring
Frisky
is totally the time for getting it on! Everyone’s coming out of that winter hibernation and
there’s a wild energy in the air that’s totally sexual.
I thought that this crazed, sexual energy wouldn’t really affect me too much anymore
because I’m no longer a single, rogue lesbian on the prowl for some action. I figured be-
springtime
ing in a relationship would calm me down a bit and I’d get into somewhat of a routine, and
settle into consistent sexual satisfaction. Not the case. I’ve actually been feeling the frisky
springtime sexy vibes and have been taking them out on my lady
(who doesn’t mind in the least, lucky for me). So things have been
getting kinda wild between the two of us lately.
Getting wild doesn’t come without some blunders and slightly
embarrassing consequences though. Oh no, my miss and I are not
alone in our little abode - in fact we have three roomies, and this
has created some pretty hilarious shenanigans. Like when we were
getting it on and our roommate comes home right at the finale,
and cracks up audibly at us in the hall. Talk about mortifying! My
girl didn’t want to leave the room for the rest of the afternoon. Or
the pretty classic blooper involving batteries going dead right at
that oh so critical moment (you know which one I’m talking about)
followed by nude streaking by yours truly down the stairs to grab
more from the monkey drawer in the kitchen...right as another
roomie happens to walk in, and low and behold, sees me fumbling
with 2 double A’s and a sparkly toy...yeah. Pretty ridiculous. And
then there’s the time that our basement roomie asked what song
we’d been singing in the shower every Saturday morning. “You
both sound like you’ve got great pitch...” He tells us. Leave it to a
gay guy to come up with the most perfect smart-ass remark. I feel
bad for them sometimes, but then again, I’m sure it makes for great
storytelling for them later on!
There have been some public situations too. Like one night
when we couldn’t resist being totally trashy and wrong while out
at the bar, and ducked into the bathroom for some naughtiness.
The naughtiness ended up lasting a bit longer than we realized,
though, and we ended up with more than just one person pound-
ing on the bathroom door. I have to say that I’ve never done a walk
of shame WITH the person I just did it with, past a line of totally an-
noyed barflies giving us the evil eye stare down! You’d think we’d
learn our lesson, but not long after that we ended up at the theater
sexy
trying not to add our own soundtrack to whatever movie everyone
else was trying to watch. Luckily none of the other movie-goers saw, but an usher did pass
by in the row in front of us. I can’t be sure, but I think he had a sneaking suspicion that there
was something dirty going on under the jackets covering our laps.
Sometimes I think I might be getting a bit old for this sort of behavior...like remember
Vibes
when you were a kid and you saw your parents make out and it was like, ew gross! I’m like,
am I that person now? Are we being totally out of hand? I think about it and I’m like, maybe I
should just chill out. But then I tell myself no way! I’m having way too much fun (even though
it’s been totally embarrassing sometimes) to lapse into some socially acceptable prudish-
ness governed by age or some other lame norm. I might be in my 30s soon enough, but who
cares? I’m pretty excited that I’ve been infected with the springtime sex energy within my
relationship. I believed for a while that most lesbian couples stop doing the nasty passion-
ately after a while. Or even worse, stop altogether and succumb to the dreaded lesbian bed
death. It’s pretty awesome that those assumptions are being proved absolutely wrong. And
hopefully it isn’t just the springtime energy keeping things so, um, active..hehe. Hopefully
feedback?
itsagirlthing@ragemonthly.com all this fun will last throughout the year. (And hopefully our roomies won’t evict us)!
