PART 1 of Many (all identical)
Randy had an incurable disease. He called it “Randy’s Disease” as he felt alone with the problem, but he was sure he was not the only person suffering. Maybe nobody else had ever spoken out about the untreatable, social-embarrassing symptoms.
He recognised these symptoms when they flared. It was like clockwork when the feelings came on to him, starting with a cold sweat. Two years exact from the start of any relationship Randy had ever held, this happened to him:
He would start looking at other women. Looking would progress to chasing. Chasing would end in fucking. Fucking would give way to dating. Yes, dating – because deep down, Randy was a committed romantic.
When Randy began a fresh dalliance, the knowledge of this inevitable, two-year cyclical disease made him feel nauseous. It would leave a bitter taste in his mouth, whenever he lowered his face between his new beau’s parted thighs for the first time.
i’m affected by the same disease. but i inject a reasonable dose of henry miller and pablo neruda in my veins, every morning after breakfast and before smoking. no nausea, just amplification of the effects that results in the shift from illness to life’s burst of laughs

Out of curiosity, how much is a “reasonable dose”? Asking for a friend …

as much as needed to feel back a true human among the humans, in their average health, though keeping within the dose limit beyond which the disease appears – and actually becomes – commonplace or fashion

I would have liked to see some female comments, you too I suspect.

A moment of inspiration.
I was going to call him Dexter – just goes to show how important a character name can be in forming preconceptions.

Better than 4 out 10 for sure. 8 I’d give you. Lose two for being to real. There are many guys who suffer from this 🙂

Aw. Shucks. 8? Yeah, it’s not autobiographical in ANY way.
