Please don’t judge me, but I have a very specific kink. I’ve had it for years – possibly my whole life, or at the very least since puberty – and it’s only deepened over time. I’m not quite sure I should be writing this in a national news publication (my mum could be reading, after all), but here goes: I have this thing for exclusively dating one man at a time, getting to know them, developing physical intimacy in line with emotional connection, and committing to a monogamous, loving, long-term relationship with a view to potentially getting hitched and starting a family.
Yes, it’s embarrassing to admit to. No, there’s nothing I can do to change it.
