"How easily we throw around the word 'unloving' when someone is distant, difficult, cold, or even just awkwardly dressed. In reality, the person we so carelessly judge might be enjoying the love life of Zeus, and conversely, a friendly, outgoing, cheerful—even charming—type might have cobwebs in his underwear drawer and condoms on his nightstand that expired back in Simitis’ time.

Sex is the simplest thing in the world and the greatest mystery. And of course, it is capitalism’s top and favorite commodity. (Now I sound a bit like Kostas, who memorizes anarchist posters in Exarchia, and then asks me what the point of states and nations is, while I’m loading the dishwasher and want to shove the rinse aid tablet in his mouth.)

The other day, my best friend Natasha, who could pass for a model—despite being almost forty-five—told me about her latest session with the elderly psychoanalyst she sees twice a week, so she can complain without feeling like a complainer.

The doctor told her she represses her sexuality because she was afraid her reputation—Natasha is a famous presenter and TV personality—left her exposed, vulnerable, more naked than naked."

"Sex on the 30th of February" is a continuation of the author's previous book, "Sex and How to Avoid It," creating an informal series that explores the adventures of Angeliki and her entourage.
