Uten forventninger og betingelser ("no-strings"-møter)

Simenon, when I was old, p. 248:

"I was joking with a pretty woman and asked her - without hope of her doing it -to come to my cabin. I was with my wife, getting undressed, when she came in wearing an evening dress with several rows of flounces, of which she opened the zipper, letting it fall at her feet, leaving her naked and pink. An hour of pleasure enjoyed without afterthought, without complications. And then when she had taken her pleasure several times, as I was going to take mine, a little phrase inspired by champagne and love: - 'For her ...'  To put it another way she had understood that the essential was for my wife." 

Denne kvinnen er vel omtrent som den kvinnen som nylig sendte denne SMS'en til en hun hadde sett sted:

"Hi, you're like one of five people that I'm sexually attracted to, I don't have time for a relationship...If you're interested in some no-strings sex, then contact me."

Kvinner er antakelig mer intelligente enn menn når det gjelder å initiere kontakt. En mann kunne kanskje sendt en slik SMS fra en hyttetur:

"Jeg har lyst på f***** di."

Dette er jo egentlig en sterkt rosende SMS i motsetning til hvordan mange oppfattet den. Men et klønete forsøk var det uansett.
