Can One Be Monogamous While Touring?

Honey Says

NO!!!

Well, it's not really that simple, but in general that is my answer. I say this because sex is a funny thing. Taught and regarded as taboo and naughty, sex has become WAAYYY more appealing, than it would be were it taught as it used to be...an art form and necessary part of every romantic relationship. Like if someone says "Whatever you do, DON'T look in there", suddenly you may be filled with a curiosity way deeper then your desire to follow the rules. Leaving your partner at home, and going out on the road, is like saying now don't you dare eat that cake. Even though the cake is sitting in your face and no one is watching you for enough time to eat the cake and replace it with a new one before anybody ever finds out you've eaten it.

I'll put it like my friend, relationship expert Patrick Wanis put it: "If you are faced with 27 kinds of Jelly, you won't buy. But if there are only 3 choices, you won't have such a hard choice. Therefore, if you have too many choices, you won't be able to commit to just one thing (or person).

When I'm out on the road I spend a lot of time by myself, but theres an after party EVERY night. Like it's Saturday night EVERY night, so theres a constant surplus of alcohol, certain party favors and other enebriating substances.

Every after party is filled with this phenomenon called "groupies"...These amazing people manage to make it back stage and then manage to throw themselves at their artist of choice. Thus the afore mentioned "too many choices". After that, every city has a different promoter, different bar tenders, different groupies and so on. So, while it is possible to be faithful and monogamous to your loved one at home while on the road....it's not likely. Most people are selfish, and alcohol etc. dampers one's sense. Plus what he/she/ doesn't know, won't hurt em. Nobody wants to be the one doin' the hurtin'!

As for me, I am totally capable of being monogamous on the road, but I may choose not to be...that's up to me. If I love and trust my partner enough, I can choose not to subject myself to the temptation, or I can subject myself without indulging.

My choice, neener neener!

Browne Says:

You can do whatever you set your mind to. I have personally toured for 5 years while committed in a monogamous relationship. I won't lie and pretend that I wasn't lonely while on the road in Germany. Like the pizza I ate in his absence didn't taste like cardboard. Like the simpliest of compliments made me yearn for his smile, even more. I won't pretend it didn't matter that we spent weeks apart in the summer. Like the sweat and my newfound fanfare didn't make me blush. It did. But it was never enough.

I agree with Honey. We've been told not to think about sex, especially as women. However, I believe there is a time in your life when casual sex takes more away from your body than you know. The intimacy is addictive. And what happens when you can't sleep without it? You can find yourself hemmed up with the wrong someones. Not to mention, it never helps to know that one sexy stalker can have bragging rites over your punany. I find solace in the fact that no man from a one-time road trip can say they know what it takes to make me climax. I mean, it tickles me several shades of pink, to know no man outside of my relationship can make me blush in places only hidden beneath fabric.

WHY NEW YORK CITY?

Honey:

~Because everyone looks like me and everyone is different, so I'm never alone and I'm always alone.
~Because everyone loves to love me and loves to hate me.

supply of music.

Browne:

I can find my dreams between Wall Street and Broadway, in the wake of Brooklyn's Bridge and in your smile. It is the city where blue collared workers and musicians are applauded for their bravery and you can find your next breath from the kiss of a sexy stranger on the C train.
