"We were able to spend at least one day a month together. He'd arrive on my doorstep, and the first thing I'd do is press my mouth to his, not to kiss, but to breathe in one another's breath. The sex that followed felt like an extension of that strange, intimate breath: there was always a sense that we were psychically, as well as physically merged."
"We usually exchange 40-60 messages a day. Some are erotic, but many are mundane. The constant communication keeps our relationship fuelled and intense. I've felt more emotionally distant from partners who I was actually living with."
"Of course, there are times when our situation feels desperate. We were almost able to meet this past summer and had put months of planning into it. But then I got Covid, and we had to cancel. We were both shattered with disappointment."
"I don't feel jealous of Sebastian's wife because there is no way that anything in his marriage could be akin to the intensity of what we share. I genuinely don't think I'm taking anything away from her."
