**Trunk** , it matters because if we’re dating or ‘going out’ it means that it’s exclusive. I can’t cross certain with lines other women.

**RevCo** , Um… Not everyone thinks the way you do. I just like having sex.

I guess the majority want me to talk to her about it. I guess i’ll bite the bullet and do it.

That’s what I guessed from the context, but I thought it was a myth, a chimera, something that doesn’t exist…

It is, no matter what advertisers tell you. People who think there is such a thing rarely make the same mistake twice.

**RevCo** : Hi, I’m **Ethilrist,** and I’m an advertiser. I have been in several such relationships and they were a lot of fun. In no way whatsoever do I think the relationships were mistakes. Thanks for asking.
