“Repeat to yourself before, after and during sex: This is not about love, nor will it ever be. Remind yourself that all the pleasure and happiness you are feeling is a CHEMICAL response. You are not special to the person who are shagging, and he is not special to you.”— Maura Kelly, marieclaire.comTagged: Casual Sex, meaningless, Chemicals
“Make it clear to the other person--and yourself--up front that what you're having is a tryst. How to do this? Don't go out for dinner with the person, or for drinks. Do away with all the trappings of a romantic relationship.”— Maura Kelly, marieclaire.comTagged: Casual Sex, romance, Dinner, dates

The minute he opens his mouth, the reason will be clear.”— Maura Kelly, marieclaire.comTagged: Casual Sex, Fantasies, Annoying
