Casual sex is not sexual liberation, "N.Y. Hotel" by The Knifes

For some reason, we're told that casual sex will liberate us all, as opposed to communicating personal desires-- especially a desire to not have casual sex.

To me, liberation in the bedroom comes from correspondence. Unfortunately, people are still encouraged to be quiet in the bedroom. The other day, my friend advised me to "go with the flow" and pardon men who don't talk about sex or relationships, who just worm in to the bedroom.

"It's less awkward," she texted.

Beating around about beating my bush, in my experience, makes for egregious situations. If you feel too awkward to ask someone for a one-night stand or a quickie relationship, get over it.

You shouldn't feel ashamed to ask, and you shouldn't feel ashamed to decline.

"N.Y. Hotel" by The Knife is not only wonderful, but very telling. The title speaks volumes. N.Y. is fast-paced. Hotels aren't as temporary as one-night stand motels. The sound is hallow. The images are eerily repetitive aside from a few key movements. I assume Karin Dreijer sings the end of a quickie-ship that left her downtrodden.

Watch and let me know what else you observe. More importantly, what is your opinion of casual sex, quickie relationships, and long-term situations?

The Knife is sound sex.
