Yeah, it happens all the time, doesn’t it? You and your friend decide to bone, and become each other’s partners. You don’t go looking for tail, because you already have some. When someone comes along who you like, you and your friend stop boning. Ya? ---

Oh sorry for the sadface making. I wasn’t looking for pity, I’m not sad about it or anything, just stating a preference. The only really good kisser I’ve been with was my first boyfriend back in high school, and he turned out to be gay.
