Recently, I've trying the whole "hookup" thing, for the first time...Without there being actual "sex" involved. And, yes, I realize that I'm somewhat having rebound issues from the whole Heartbreaker fiasco, seeing that I've never been into "hooking up" with random guys from online (nothing against those who enjoy it).
In season 7 episode 9 of Seinfeld, the character Elaine ran into quite the dilemma. Her main, and favorite, form of birth control was a Sponge product (I'll let you guys use your imaginations to figure out how this product is used). The problem was, the company that made this product was in the midst of discontinuing it. This leads Elaine, who looked all over the city in various Drug Store's with no avail, to buy the last CASE of Sponges from the only store she could find that still carried them. After this, she had to enact a sort of screening process for her sexual partners...To make sure they were "sponge-worthy". Because, lets face it, she had the LAST case of these things, which means that she couldn't just waste them anymore.
For myself, the case of Sponges represents my body, my time, and my sex. I guess, being celibate for going on three years, has taught me to really value my Sexual Self, and to only give my sex to people who are truly deserving of it. After all, not everyone gets to ride the sports car (Jaguar) known as Me. And, being Sponge worthy doesn't only apply to sexual partners. It also applies to potential boyfriends, significant others, etc.
Anyway, the main reason why things didn't go the sex route, in said hookup, is because I realized that the guy wasn't "sponge-worthy" (and, he wasn't Heartbreaker). Hell, he wasn't even really one of my "types". Don't get me wrong, he was actually a really cool and nice guy. But, I just couldn't envision us together...which kills the whole fantasy component of the hookup for me. And, when I asked if he had any Lube, he directed me to damn bottle of LOTION!...I just can't deal with a "grown" man who gives me that kind of fuckery. I mean, I don't even MASTURBATE with lotion.
I also realized, from this encounter, that their might actually need to be a "connection" or "spark" or "vibe" between me and a guy, in order for me to be sexual with a guy, and actually enjoy it. So, there goes the "meaningless sex" card...out of my deck and into the fire.
As for me, for a man to be considered sponge-worthy or boyfriend material, there's actually a small list of qualifications. The main one, being that I need to be able to "see" myself with the guy in question. If I can realistically "see" myself kissing, cuddling, etc, with said guy, then I could very well consider him being sponge-worthy.
Do we all have our own version of Elaine's "sponge-worthy" concept?

Interesting take on this issue. I've always struggled with the desire to have physical contact and finding those worth it. I've found that there are far more who aren't "sponge-worthy" than who are. Good luck though!

my booty is very sponge like! :) LOL
but lets not get on that!
Yea, hook ups are soooo not all they're cracked up to be. At all...
I feel You. Everybody Ain't Worthy.
Lotion?!? .....Seriously?
Well now wait a minute ma dude. The characteristic of a hook up does not lend itself to the act of aquiring a bf. So I wouldn't go into a hook up with those kinds of expectations. Conversely, I am the type that can not hook up with anyone without knowing something about you; being able to know that after we do the do, I will be able to have a conversation with you. Maybe even turn into friends that fuck on the side. But that's just me. No matter what you do tho baby boy, be safe always. 1 Luv!
~Damnit!
hey if a dude ain't worth it, he just ain't. its your body and piece of mind. if you don't value it, who will?
