Sex in the Not So Big City
Does size matter?
Size of the city you live in that is! Does the size of the city you live in matter when it comes to sex? Is it a direct relationship, the smaller the city the less opportunities to have that intimate connection? Or is it an inverse relationship, the lack of other things to do (or maybe sheer boredom at times) lending way to more time between the sheets? What is the ratio of women to men or men to women? What is the protocol to date ones own relative, how many degrees of seperation should there be? How do you juggle the dating scene when everywhere you go you run into someone else you are dating or have dated? Does it help you or hurt you when each time you find someone that catches your attention one of your friends already knows them?
I'm setting out to get up close and personal with this subject and the state of the sex drive of our little city. You never know when I might be watching or listening so I have assumed the identy of Isabella Ferraira to investgate just what risque business you are all up to!

Hey Isabella,
I hear ya. I was single for a long time. I feel like everyone I bump into I've dated as well. I sometimes think this city is just too small. But sometimes its just right when everyone you see is familiar and feels like your home. I was finally lucky to meet someone. At a bar, if you can believe it?? And no one new him. And he didn't expect you to sleep with him by the second date. What's up with that... That was one of my major issues in the dating scene. If you didn't sleep with them right away they weren't intereste. But that's sex in the not so big city for me.
thanks for the column!
