The whole thing hadn’t been some fever dream, and it was going to happen again.One of the best aspects of a sexual experience can be its spontaneity.Īn out-of-the-blue moment of passion sounds much more appealing than previously planned sexual activity.įor some gay men, however, sex can be quite regimented.
