BoJack is one of my favorite shows because of it’s in your face tackling of sensitive topics. And I can identify with Todd especially in my youth. I was often “friendzoned” because my lack of interest in sex which made me bitter for a long time. I even had a female friend comment that I wasn’t the type to have a girlfriend. Which sucked for me because I really enjoy intimacy and affection, I just don’t really care for sex.

It didn’t take me long though to learn how to fake and I was pretty good too. I studied sex like most folks study in school and I learned techniques that would drive the girls I was with crazy but for me it was mostly mechanical.

And then I almost got married but it fell apart when living with me came the realization that there wouldn’t be sex everyday and that I would have other interest than her, which was partly my fault because I gave her the impression that I was all about sex. That’s what kept her attention.

That was six years ago and I had sex a couple of times right after she left but it’s been 5 1/2 years since I have had sex. I miss the intimacy of having someone in my life but it’s too much to try and pretend to be someone else anymore.
