Ask Baba Yaga: How Can I Control My Sexual Angst?

Transcript after the jump.

Dear Baba Yaga,
When I was in a relationship, talking to the opposite sex came easily. Now that I’m out of one, I feel a sexual tension and angst with almost any conversation. How do I learn to be myself again?

BABA YAGA:
You’re an itchy boar in the woods, feeling for the first time its boar bristles. ;Rub up against a tree & laugh at yr prickly skin&fur.; Into such a laughter-hole you may fall, & begin the serious journey of knowing the tunnel of yrself.
