Well, with respect to the guy who just went to sleep, it really wasn't a blow to my ego, I wasn't attached to him. I was just surprised. I think it had something to do with expectations?

Back when I was young, eighteen or so (you and I are about the same age), just after the "sexual revolution", before AIDS, there was just this expectation that men, at least, would not actually go to sleep. But, this guy and I had not talked about sex. We were hanging out together. I just assumed we would have sex, based on the fact that he was male.

The reverse of the mirror was the guy that I wasn't expecting to come on to me, he asked me over for coffee (oh, sure, now I would know better) and I went to bed with him just to be nice, and afterwards he gave me the key to his house, so I could let myself in whenever I wanted, in case I came by and he wasn't there. I think he assumed that since I had done it once I would keep doing it? But we didn't talk about it. The coffee was pretty good.

So I took the key, just to be nice.
