Do we get easier as we get older?

As you can see, my day has been quite boring and when this happens I think a lot.

Here's my latest ponder. As we get older, do we get easier? Case in point, remember the first interaction you had with a person you were attracted to. You told all your friends, "We held hands ..." they were in awe and now they look at you like a crack fien or question whether he's straight. Then when you get a little older, you kiss on the first date and that's a pretty good step. A bit years later, there's a good chance that a good date is at least your shirt is off and by the time you're in your late twenties there's a good chance you're ready to give it up in some way on the first date.

So why do we get easier as we get older? I think you realize time is precious and perhaps you don't want to waste the next months on a poor kisser or a bad lay - so we want to do it right away, just to see.

True or no?

I think, as we get older, sex tends to mean less. Therefor, it's not something "special" to hold off on doing. We become less patient for gratification.

Did you ever get a slow, deep, passionate kiss that not only made your heart jump out of your chest but made your knees buckle?

If you have, then you would never want to cheapen that event with a worthless piece of shit kiss, right?

If you haven't had a kiss like that then you dream about it every night.

Either way, the older you get the farther you get away from your dream. In our efforts to quiet the lonely nights we end up settling for Mr. Content, convinced that kiss will never meet our lips. Then, if that kiss were to embrace our life we would be emotionally dead and would not realize it anyway.

It's not that we get easier as we get older but we suffer more battle scars. Those battle scars blind us with contentment and we are then unable to remember our dreams.
