I’ve reconsidered the first one. It’s no longer on my list. Pleasurable as it may be, it sets a precedence that may make me less happy overall. I’m a forward thinking hedonist :) Another goal I forgot to write down was sperm donation, but my friends helped me realise that isn’t what I want to do!
Unprotected sex will be pleasurable, but until I have a stable partner, it poses a concurrent sexual health threat. If I have infrequent unprotected sex to lower my risk, I would find protected sex less pleasurable. Ignorance is bliss.
This my new ‘intentional list’ rather than a goal list for January:
It’s risky to aim at such a strong level of conformity. If you go that way, you’ll be letting social pressure mold you into an obedient everyman, with nothing to make you distinctly you.
Combining the first two would likely result in a more-memorable-than-most experience.
