There is a ritual in which I regularly partake. No, this one is not religious, but I do hold it in sacred esteem. The ceremony is known as Girl's Night Out. While not strict about the schedule, meeting regularly with girlfriends is something that I make a concerted effort to do. Sometimes it involves myself and one other special friend, other times there might be as many as ten women present.
Girl's Night Out for me and my crew almost often involves meeting at a restaurant for appetizers and drinks. We devour wares such as quesadillas, pizza margherita, drinks, and even more drinks. We share our daily woes, dreams and wishes, and we laugh. Oh, we laugh a lot.
Another thing we do during GNO is talk about sex. As a matter of fact, we talk about sex about as much as we laugh, if not more.
There are probably a billion studies on the number of times a man thinks about sex in one day, as well as a woman. I'm not particularly interested in Googling that information.
What I can tell you is this; my girlfriends and I are incredibly sexual beings. I am not really sure when that realization edged it's way into my psyche. Nevertheless, I am thankful for my group of soul mates who pour forth their thoughts and experiences as freely as the Merlot that fills our glasses.
As the hours speed by, we lean our tilted heads in closer and enjoy the stories that are shared. Maybe someone has a question about how often another is having sex, maybe we want to discuss the finer points of a certain position, maybe we just want to share a particularly hot dream we had. It matters not the particular topic. What matters is that we always find a kindred spirit who understands what we've just told and if not, then one who desperately seeks that level of understanding.
My particular circle of friends is open, frank and uninhibited, at least during GNO. I never drive home from a girl's night out disappointed or dismayed. I always leave with some kernel of validation and an even greater spark of curiosity.
In my experience, I have found that the more I talk about sex, the more comfortable I am with the subject. Being more comfortable, for me, translates into better, and more fulfilling sex. I have my girlfriends to thank for this.
So guys, embrace the notion of Girl's Night Out. Know that when your woman leaves to spend "quality time" with her friends, in the end, you stand a very great chance of benefiting from it.
I had a fabulous GNO last week and am already jonesing for another one. Girls, you know who you are. I need you and want you in my life; and my husband thanks you profusely for your presence in it as well.
