“Anonymous sex is not about avoidance. For me, it is about a kind of harmless grandiosity: when I am anonymous, I exist as something far greater then my particulars. I become an archetype, a myth, a Joseph Campbell goddess spreading my legs for the benefit of all mankind for all time. This imagined generosity brings me the most profound orgasms.”
