A monologue about dead intimacy in relationships. The speaker describes being in a sexless, affectionless partnership and eventually leaving. The core message: nothing changes without speaking up about what you want, whether that means telling your partner or walking away.
Bad sex, no sex, disappointing sex, painful sex. I've had comments that relate to all of that, and clearly there's a lot of people out there who just aren't getting either any sex at all or the sex that they really, really want. And you know what they say, nothing changes if nothing changes. In other words, if you're in a situation where your intimacy in your relationship is just over, dead— and I've been there— turned over every night, no sex whatsoever. No cuddles, no intimacy, and ultimately I got out of that relationship and everybody is much happier as a result of that. But if you don't open your mouth, if you don't express your disappointment, if you don't know what it is you actually want and try to get there either with your partner or on your own, then it's unlikely that anything is ever going to change.
