Admit it. Sex is everywhere–even places it’s not supposed to be. Irene Kaoru peers into the world of the accidentally sexy.

Your girlfriend left you, your booty call won’t return your IMs and your cat ran away. Life sucks when you’re lonely. What’s a modern, intelligent, liberated person to do?

Well, masturbate, of course.

Being alone, single, partner-less, de-relationshipped, un-dated and left with time on your hands can really be the unlikely entrance to a fresh point of view on pleasure. Take the pressure off by forcing yourself to think about something else for a few days, then start to approach your sexuality as if for the first time. Try to think about pleasure as something you will discover within yourself, rather than something you give or take from other people. By examining your body and thinking about what gives you pleasure and why–alone and without the pressure to look or act a certain way or to please a partner–you may find out something new about yourself that you can take into your future encounters. Not to mention the mood-lifting effect of a good orgasm.

Which means: appreciating the zen of being alone once and a while can lead to better sex in the future for you, and for anyone lucky enough to come home with you.
