We were effectively strangers, completely sober and about to hop into bed together. XXX The sex in Brisbane may have been the only affectionate sex we shared. My strongest memory of Brisbane was sitting through a security briefing for upcoming work, normally a dull phone call necessitated by a government bureaucrat ticking a box on a form. I am not a psychologist and I do not pretend this was the greatest sexual adventure of all time but our journey certainly felt like the stuff of legend at the time. I’m not a one night stand sort of person and certainly had not indulged in anything like this before. The sensation of holding a naked partner for the first time is all encompassing, a flood of the senses as skin meets skin for the first time.
