So this guy moves into town and notices that all of the womenfolk are hot. There’s a catch, of course. There’s always one.

The saying goes that there are “plenty of fish in the sea” so why obsess over one? As logical as that sounds though, your brain isn’t always logical is it? Chemicals in our brains play havoc with our logic and conspire against our common sense.

We fall for people who are not suitable, who are not available, who manipulate us, and we hurt ourselves more often than not because we are foolhardy with our emotions. But we can’t help ourselves because we can’t help liking the person that we like. You don’t want plenty of fish in the ocean – you don’t care that there are plenty of fish, you just want the one and only one. Only that single person can make you happy. Or so you thought at the time.

You may catch that fish. But you may not, and the pain and the frustration and emotional roller-coaster that you go through because you can’t catch the fish that you really want can really mess you up.

And I don’t think it matters how many times you go through it, your emotions will still get the better of your logic most of the time. It’s all chemical, innit? But if you are lucky like me, you learn from that one big crush that did not go your way, and learn to cope with it much better.

The roller-coaster rides last much shorter and you comprehend that there are really plenty of fish in the sea. In other words, with age comes maturity, patience and wisdom. Or so I would like to think.

The single guy sees sex in almost any situation. He can get a sudden impulse from a slight brush of female flesh, innocent or otherwise, a whiff of a perfume, the sight of a hot chick and even the sound of her voice.

A sudden horny thought can lead to an avalanche of more horny thoughts and before you know it, you are sitting down a bit longer than you have to and you’ve just missed your stop. Fuuu …

The degree of horny-ness that affects the single guy depends on how often he deals with his sexual frustrations. If he doesn’t want to be driven mad by his impure thoughts, he’s got to drive those impure thoughts elsewhere and this is where porn and masturbation comes in.

So it goes without saying that the single guy consumes a lot of porn. In lieu of one-night stands and paying for it, we use porn to release (hur hur hur) our sexual frustrations. By not letting our sexual frustrations overwhelm us, it allows us to be clearer in the head. We are not as easily fooled or manipulated by the power of sex that women wield so effectively and seductively. Growl.

That’s my logic and rationale for being a porn fiend. At least I’m being honest about it, right?

The Above and Beyond remix of this song is my favourite discovery of last week. The lyrics are melancholic and bitter-sweet – the kinda thing that I sometimes torture myself with. Plus, I went to the beach yesterday. Everything just sorta fits. Serendipity.

I’ve still got sand in my shoes
And I can’t shake the thought of you
I should get on, forget you
But why would I want to
I know we said goodbye
Anything else would’ve been confused but I wanna see you again

ps. Props to the guy who made the above clip (djmark72) – he took original footage of Dido at Brixton Academy and cut and edit it to the tune of the remixed version.
