Similarities (and some differences) in the car ride to sex vs a drive to a woman's house to take care of business:
1. That electricity, about 48 to 72 hours prior, when you and s/he are texting, and you both realize it(fight/sex)'s about to happen. (Even better if there's been tension between you and s/he for the last few weeks.)
2. That pit in your stomach, and the shaking hands on the steering wheel, during the drive. (Although, much less stresyful now than in pre-GPS days).
3. Figuring out if a pain in the ass third party will get the hint and leave, or foul up the whole deal.
4. Kids. Yours/hers/his. Being home from school sick and ruining the whole narrow window of opportunity.
4A. The regret of all the fucking and fighting you'd be doing if not for kids.
5. Speaking of sick--wondering if you're gonna catch a virus from the encounter. All the more relevant now with Covid.
6. Clothes: look nice, but wear something you're fine never seeing again.
7. Smelling nice is a must.
8. As is fabulous hair.
9. Easy on the makeup, unless it's to cover up a zit.
10. Wondering if s/he will notice the zits on your back. And your butt.
11. Travel light. Maybe a small purse, tops. But leave your license and credit card in the car.
12. Shoes: sensible. Slip-on. In case you need to leave in a hurry.
13. Don't tell anyone where you're going....
14. .....or when you'll get back.
15. No periods.
16. Shame these nails aren't gonna be looking this nice for awhile.
17. Shit gets real once the tops are off. No turning back then.
18. The "I've been wanting to do this for awhile" realization.
19. Laying low at home for the next 3-4 days to let scratches heal.
20. Wondering if s/he will reach out wanting Round 2.
