It's statistically impossible for there not to be at least one guy sexting me right now

what i'd really like is a nice helping of naked boyfriend with a side of naked boyfriend.

that depends entirely on the terms you set in a relationship. if you agree to play the field, you play the field. the thing of it is being honest.

Playing the field...? That is slang for having multiple partners? Also, what level of intimacy is standard? It would be difficult to be in love with more than one person, I think.

[lefthandedgenius]

dating multiple people, yes. the level of intimacy is up to the people involved. and being in love with more than one person is not common, but not impossible. you seem awfully obsessed with the idea of what's standard as opposed to what feels right. and that's not even getting into sex and intimacy in relation to emotional investment.

No one has told me the rules of this, or the lack of rules, or anything like that. I only know that many of the girls--the human girls, I mean--that I was friends with at the Academy typically became very upset if the person with whom they were in a relationship was with someone else.

[TEACH HIM, LYDIA. HE THOUGHT THERE WERE GUIDELINES.]

[lefthandedgenius]

Ok. First, the idea of monogamous relationships as 'standard' is a structure created by societal standards. there is such a thing as polyamory for people vested in relationships, and playing the field is perfectly acceptable provided all parties involved are honest about what they want. It's not for everyone, but then the standard isn't for everyone either.

I think I may need to speak to Lucy about this.

[Because life would be a lot easier if he didn't feel like he was obligated to not find Lydia wildly attractive.]

[lefthandedgenius]

I'm sure whatever you two work out will be fine.

[For HER, cue evil laugh.]

[hischair]

You should listen to Lydia and go with whatever feels right.

[ #WISDOM no don't listen to it ]

[candothat]

I haven't decided what feels right.

[What? But Kirk knows all about... relationships...]

[hischair]

[ Haha ... Ha. ]

Well, either way, don't rush it or get bogged down by too much worrying.

[candothat]

[Worrying? What? As if Chekov would ever overthink something until it turns into a gigantic pro--oh, wait.]

Aye, sir. I will try.
