    My life is a mess.

    I've got a great career and I love my work but my single minded pursuit of it has alienated my friends. I can't even bear to think how long it is since I had sex. My work consumes my waking hours and when I get home, I'm too tired to call or - god forbid - visit my friends or go clubbing on Saturday. Women in general don't seem to be interested in casual sex, so it's either off to prostitutes or no sex.
