Have Great Sex Without All the Mess

digital_love.jpg

So here’s the latest condom marketing idiocy. Durex is out with Digital Love, a site on which, so they say, you can have sex without actually coming into contact with a partner. Which, of course, is likely the best way not to get pregnant or contract a sexually transmitted disease. However, the site offers no such thing.

You get a slow loading site, a webcam experience (if you have one) and the chance to stare at a hot woman or man who will coo sexual innuendo in your ears until, surprise, you are told you are an idiot for actually thinking you could have sex without touching.

It all reminds us of that scene in the Sylvester Stallone/Sandra Bullock flick Demolition Man when Bullock asks Stallone if he’d like to have sex with her. He, of course, says yes. Who wouldn’t say yes to a request like that from Bullock whose ass was perfection in the tight, black, spandex pants she wore in the movie. But when he realizes they are just having sex in their head, he freaks out and stops.

Anyway, we get that this is a joke. The payoff was just a bit long in coming.

I’m 73 and I have a VHS tape of my children’s first Christmas and I can’t play it because I don’t own a machine that reads it anymore — and that tape contains the only moving footage of my husband holding our daughter when she was three months old, and the technology that preserved that moment has become obsolete faster than the grief, and somewhere in my attic is a recording of the happiest day of my life that I can no longer access in a format the modern world recognizes

I’m 73 and last Thursday my doctor asked who was driving me home and I said “I drove myself” and the look on his face told me that answer had an expiration date and the 40-minute drive home was the first time in my life I was afraid of something I’ve done ten thousand times because he didn’t take my keys but he took my certainty and that’s almost worse

I’m 65 and I found a box of photographs in the attic last month and I sat on the floor for three hours — not because I was looking at them but because I was looking at a world that doesn’t exist anymore, where my parents are young and my children are small and the kitchen table in the background is the center of a life that felt permanent and turned out to be temporary

I’m 73 and my daughter recently told me I look ‘frumpy’ now that I’ve stopped wearing makeup and heels every day — and instead of feeling hurt, I felt free, because her discomfort with my comfort told me everything I needed to know about whose approval I’d been performing for

I’m 66 and I’m still working, still paying a mortgage, still helping my kids, still driving my mother to her appointments, still pretending I have the energy I had at 45 — and the invisible decade I’m living through has no anthem, no self-help section, no supportive community, just a quiet expectation that I’ll keep holding the weight without mentioning what it’s doing to my knees, my marriage, and the version of myself that I keep promising I’ll get back to when things calm down, which they never do

Nobody talks about the women who raised entire families, kept every tradition alive, and held everyone together for forty years — and then got thanked by being called “strong” instead of being asked “are you okay” because those are two completely different sentences and only one of them requires anyone to actually do something
