Tony's Drought

Who is the right woman?

How will I know? And what am I supposed to do in the mean time.

It's been nearly 2 years without sex. The last time was with Jeanne, did that breakup ruin me forever?

Meaningless sex used to be fun, it was what I lived for! Now I can't seem to get aroused with even the hottest girls. I need it to mean something but I can't let myself ever get that involved again.

Definitely the proverbial catch 22!

How do I get around this one DiNozzo?

Think?

She needs to be someone I like, smoking hot and will let me off the hook as soon as it's time to move on.

Who do I know like that?

Know self respecting woman is just going to be my pal have mind blowing sex and then say ciao in the morning. They are all looking for a soul mate, impossible dream.

Besides with my job know one understands my commitment to Gibbs 24/7, too many broken dates and cancelled plans and they never want to see me again. Which worked great before but now thanks to Ziva I need a real woman.

My super sexy crazy ninja partner turns me on like know one else BUT……………………!

Strong independent woman are a mystery to me. Give me a simple, smart, sexy lady who needs a man and I know just how to act but ones like Kate and Ziva confuse me.

DiNozzo's usually steer clear of confident woman but with Ziva that has been impossible. While she haunts me with her dark whiskey eyes, outrageous curves, exotic perfume and long dark curls she emasculates me with her strength and skills. No real man should be intimidated by his lover. My strength is being a detective and I'm a damn good one but even in that sometimes she is better.

Ziva needs no man to protect her!

There has been this physical attraction between us since the first moment we met but I am never sure how to act around her so I cover up by being juvenile and obnoxious.

Jeanne made me feel like a man. Ziva makes me feel like I need to be a better man.

My mind always goes back to her every time I think about having sex which is almost every moment of every day.

She has seen my at my worst, there is know place to hide around her. We have become important to each other. When I am being honest with myself I can admit that without her I am lonely.

If this drought would end I am sure I could get her off my mind. It's just been so long and my body is starving for attention and she is the one female I see everyday, the one who sometimes I get to pretend with. That is all it is, it has to be, what other reason could there be? I have managed to keep my hands off her for nearly four years why would I risk it now?

Face it DiNozzo you are one screwed up guy! You want sex but can't have sex. You love women but can't be in love with one. You can't live with women but you definitely can't live without them. Your sexy partner stares at you when she thinks you're not looking and when you touch her red hot desire heats your blood! Who know she may be up for some mind blowing sex…. Except for the guy in the picture.

If I confront her about him she will likely tell me to mind my own business or threaten to kill me. Despite the threats I know she would give her life for mine and I for her. That is a sacred trust you just don't mess with. But maybe, just maybe I am ready for something more than just sex after all with Ziva it would have to be. Not all as in love on her part but all as in a monogamous relationship until she got tired of me.

The real problem would be getting my heart broken and that is not going to happen again in this lifetime.

I may have to learn to live without sex until this insanity passes.
