“You really should start dating again. I know some great guys. I could hook you up.”
“We’ve talked about this, I’m fine.”
“Aren’t you lonely? You’re too young to be by yourself.”
“Just because I’m alone, doesn’t mean I’m lonely.”
“Don’t you miss… you know?”
“Sure, I miss… the intimacy, but I can’t…”
“I can’t believe you’re being so inhibited. The sexual taboos of our 20s don’t apply now that we’re in our 50s.”
“I’m not being inhibited, I’m being pragmatic. I don’t want to break in a new lover, and we won’t even talk about having to get naked!”
The 100 Word Challenge, a writing prompt created by Velvet Verbosity, takes a single theme to tell a story in only 100 words ~ no more, no less. This week’s theme is ‘Inhibited.’

“Breaking in a new lover” – interesting way to think about it. I thought after a certain age everyone’s got it down pat? No? 😉

Oh that’s good. I found my use of “inhibited” a little contrived- you’ve done it well. Sigh, wouldn’t mind at all breaking in a new lover!

I agree with Mama Zen, I’m way too old to start breaking in a new lover. Geez I’m still working on the one I have now!
