Yet another thread in the tangled knot of the “no-sex” class paradigm. Back in March of last year, while describing a rendezvous in a hotel that really does charge by the hour, The Ethical Slut said of her partner at the time…
Chuckles being a sweet 26-year-old, he only lasted about 3 minutes. When I told him that maybe he should hold back on cumming, he looked at me strange and said, “Why would I do that?” Ah, children are so cute.
Chuckles evidently somewhat made up in frequency what he made up in duration but still… when you hear about guys who think sex is all about them, or who thinks that sex is just something for guys for women too well, that’s what I’m talking about.
“Why would I do that?” Woof!

Don't think you're being a tiny bit harsh there? The obvious interpretation, to me, was "why would I do that? We'll just go again in 15 minutes!" Hence, they're cute when they're young and think it'll always work that way.
[I didn't get that impression so maybe I didn't quote enough of her post. Thanks, J. --fl]

J, my interpretation was that he went too fast, which meant she didn't have an orgasm.

On the other aspect of the thing: being the repressed country we are, bringing dates home is just about impossible here, if you live with your parents. Motels in Brazil aren't the cheap places to sleep over when you're in a road trip. They all charge by hour (minimum price for any period of time less than 3 hours, extra charges every 15 minutes after the first period). As far as I know, most have a fixed price for the whole night too, but you have to specify beforehand because the hourly system is the default.
What I find hilarious is that, the cheaper the motel, the higher the probability that it will include a round bed, ceiling mirror, erotic chair, the whole sex dive stereotype. Before I saw one I always thought it was just a joke, and when I saw one I laughed so hard the boy got angry at me and wanted to leave. But the most expensive places are less tacky and can even have better rooms than normal hotels, with better per night prices.
[Yup. I know there are the same sort of little hotels in Japan and other parts of Asia and, I'm guessing other high-density cities worldwide. I understand in Japan it's pretty common for married couples to use them since very often their extended families live with them in (at least to my American experience) *amazingly* small apartments. Thanks, CB. --fl]

Diatryma is the winner. It wasn't cute, it was sad.
[Sounded like that to me too. Thanks, ES. --fl]

Craigslist, huh? No surprise that a 26. y.o. there might need supplemental training...Depends whether you want to put the work in, I guess. Readily available + unsatisfactory sex = frustrating. Gack. So, any follow-up?
ReCaptcha "ten sighed". Indeed.
[Yup. Ten sighed sounds about right. :-) Thanks, ES. --fl]
