Re: Do you keep track of how many swing partners you've had? Being a compulsive data keeper, of course I do (did). It's the engineer/math geek in me.
And I kept dozens, maybe hundreds, of the love letters from a swing partner that I am still in contact with. A few years ago, I burned it all.
There was a time when looking back on that list of names was a thrill. Remembering each woman, her softness, her peculiarities, her touch was a trip down memory lane. Recalling how many times we made love was a thrill. I have a special soft spot for all of the women I was with more than three times.
It's not the numbers that count; it's the warm memories which the list helped me recall. Now that the list is gone, it is ever more difficult to recall some of them. That's a shame, but life goes on. |
