Questions Craigs Always Ask - Part I

The conversations I have with the guys I meet on CL are often stunningly similar. In part this is because they are the standard small-talk conversations, with the awkwardness compounded by the fact that we have either just had or are just about to have sex. However, there are several questions that come up with eerie regularity.

Typically, they ask me how often I do the CL thing. Sometimes I lie, but generally I'm honest, because as far as I'm concerned, if you're a guy having sex with some girl you found on the internet in the middle of the night, you are in no position to judge that girl. So I tell them the truth- I do this a lot. After some of kind of comment about my sluttiness (usually approving, sometimes not) the guy often asks some variation on "Don't you think this kind of dangerous?"

They mean, of course, that I could end up at the house of the serial killer or a rapist or have my organs harvested for the organ black market. Or on a more mundane level, I could end up knocked-up and syphilitic. All of this is certainly a possibility. Yes, this is a dangerous habit. But of course, the danger is part of the appeal. I really don't have any idea what is going to happen when I go to these people's houses or who they are or if they're going to respect my wishes. There is usually a moment before I get out of my car when I just sit and hesitate. My heart pounds and often my hands are shaking and I contemplate flaking out and going back to my own apartment and going to bed like a normal girl. But I always go in.

I've never had a bad experience off of CL. Unsatisfying, awkward or boring, yes, but nothing dangerous or terrible. It may just be a matter of time, but I am young and stupid and I will keep taking the risks to reap the rewards.
