Not unhappy, but certainly socially inept in some ways. We all have to fuck our way through quite a few of partners before learning what it is we want from our partner and what is important for us. This is true for all people. Sticking to the same guy you lost your virginity to is just trying to retard your own knowledge about yourself.

I don't think there's anything controversial about this. Unless you're that virgin I'm speaking about. He he. But sleep around a bit and you'll see I was right.

Well, I think Christianity is in its core hypocritical... so yeah. I can't see how I could add to this problem. I can't think of anything in Christianity that embraces intellectual integrity. But maybe that's just me.

Well, I was just being clever here. I don't really care about society as a whole. I mean.... I fool myself into believing I do... but I don't really. Just like everybody else. But yeah, self deception is never helpful.

It's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission...

Casanova

By Ian Kelly, abridged by Amber Barnfather, read by Benedict Cumerbatch.

Born into a notorious family of actors in Venice, Giacomo Casanova is never far from the stage door.

His parents think the sickly, abnormally self-obsessed young boy will die young, and send him out of the city for his health.

Within a few years, Casanova returns to Venice, now a tall, handsome, dashing young man, with a string of potential mistresses, and a somewhat unlikely career in the Church.
