One Degree of Separation


We all have heard the theory of 6 degrees of separation. It postulates that we are just a few steps away from any person in the world in terms of introduction. I thought how about just 1 degree. One degree of separation between a man and a woman is the one-degree that separates them from a romantic one, sex.  Without sex we are free to love the opposite gender in a very unique way in which there is no agenda. Just think we can have an emotional connection that will probably be more enduring than one that is sexual in nature.  

I will avoid any conjecture as to why sex seems to be the one degree that albeit the most physically and emotionally satisfying of God’s gifts can also be the biggest heart breaker too. But consider a relationship that doesn’t involve the complications sex does and you have the makings of a relationship that can flourish in many ways. The woman in the case of a man can give insights he could never understand and when she says one thing and really means the opposite it’s your female counterpart that can provide you just the solace you need. She can give him an inside take as to why “she” is acting the way she is. On the opposite end what woman wouldn’t love to have a man in her life to help and guide her as to how to handle the confounding behavior patterns of the man in her life. Tell her if this guy is a player or if he’s really serious.  

I’ve been blessed to have a few of these in my adult life and when I speak of 1 degree of separation those relationships help carry me into my life where that separation disappears.

  1. I hear you speak about sex often. Perhaps the separation you can't see is the connection women see between sex and love and commitment . Oh, I should have said descent women. There are of course men and women that view sex as a recreational and or physiological activity. As for advise women seem to have more insight than men. All genders see what they choose to see . Sex is not the degree of separation it is caring,love, understanding
