- Hence, the 90%. Really it's more like 95%. I've had the above only happen once.
- A gorgeous woman (Kathy) moved next door to me. She with two boys, me with one.
- We became good friends and our children played together. Anyway, for six
- months we did practically everything together but have sex. (I think
- back and this is totally crazy because she is *very* desirable. But I
- really still had gina on my mind (a previous SO whom I have written post
- after post but have never been able to submit any to a.a (gina being
- the reason I am reading a.a))) but I stray. anyway, one day my brother
- pops by and Kathy and I are watching TV or some such, lying on the couch
- together. he makes many lewd suggestions/comments about what we've
- been up to. after he leaves, something breaks and we end up with boinking/
- snogging/whatever for the next three days straight. Quite incredible and
- perhaps a good enough reason to abstain from sex until marriage. This was
- my 1 out of 20. my 5%. Kathy and I are still best friends, but she is
- married to someone else and has moved to Georgia. Oh well.
