There are many dynamics to consider with each, i.e. person, number of drinks, type of drugs. I find most of the first experiences are under the influence before one is comfortable enough to have sex without alcohol or drugs.
Of there is the morning after a buzzed sexual encounter of intense morning sex that is both very memorable and recaps the very debaucherous activities from the night before without the urgency or need to impress. This hybrid of the the alternatives is my favorite.

Some misstatements have been made in this thread; however they seem to be made with the goal to advise as to the gold standard to protect your copyright interest. It is true that once pen meets paper, brush meet canvas or keystrokes are recorded on you electronic file, a copyrighted work is born. The date created is what you need to use to protect your interests. The electronic operating system/software will record this. Sharing it with select friends do the same. In the past, mailing it to yourself and others with express direction not to open the envelope was often used. These all constitute evidence of date of authorship.
Sure for every clever way to protect a birth of a work of art, there are always clever, devious people who seek to get around it. So there is no silver bullet. Best recommendation would be to back up, preserve versions, find software that allows to map your creation from start to finished product. All of which will be proof of authorship.
Now some misconceptions and good/gold standards to follow:
The former requirement of a (c) or "c" in a circle or word "copyright" before the year and author's name has not been required to protect your rights (i.e. (c) 2021 Samg61) for decades. It used to be required otherwise it went immediately to public domain. Today, that is not the case. Best Practices: still use it. It places the world on notice the author is asserting that in the year stated he/her created the work. It can be used to eliminate the claim of fair use, or I'm a goofball and thought I could copy it defenses.
Filing is only means in the US to establish your copyright. The race to the Library of Congress is not correct. It is a violation of the Copyright Act to take someone's work and register it as your own. This can be challenged by evidence of prior creation by any of the forgoing means, WHICH IS NOT AN EXHAUSTIVE LIST. You have a common law copyright once created (on all versions). Best Practices: Do what Reject Reality suggests register it. This now can be done electronically, relatively simple to do and not too expensive at all (single work $45).
Filing is only means to protect copyright. This is at best a gray statement. You have an immediate copyright once created. Registration is the formal means to place the world on notice and provide you with additional statutory rights. In addition, if you feel the need to file suit in the Federal Courts (exclusive jurisdiction over copyright infringement actions) one MUST register the copyright to file suit. The registration requires date of authorship, date of publication, if any (which in reality must occur in order to have the infringer had knowledge of the original work). Best Practice: Register it early. Registration provides valuable rights including but not limited to statutory damages (up to $150,000 per act of infringement for wilful violation), attorney's fees, and making them buy you lunch and drinks after winning (well I always ask, never get it but always ask).
Litigation is expensive. True, so true. Best Practice: don't do litigation.
I know long winded, but I hope it helps.

Mostly, I deal with those who do things, either bad or without proper thought, and clean up the messes they cause. They rely upon me to be the vault of their sins and secrets.
Sometimes, the rare few, sometimes I'm asked for a consult before they act and they sometimes listen.
I am the cleaner

Marriage after 25 years.
I concur that intimacy stems from sex. Once sex dramatically falls of so does the intimacy and, if only one sided, it breeds a great deal of contempt and frustration. It does leave a rather large hole.
Not saying that hole cannot be filled by other means.

All ways look on the bright side of life - Monty Python
Knocking on Heavens Door - Warren Zevon version
Changes - David Bowie
Along the Watchtower - Jimmy Hendrix version
Girl from the North Country - Dylan
just for a start

I live in the land of the free but I'm also cognizant of the effect i have on others. I don't spit in other's faces. I don't shit in their lawns. I don't act like an ass because I can.
I respect and actually care for others.
So I wear a mask.
As for other's cold dead faces, well just be proud that you passed this illness and death on to others you know and don't know. Have fun taking a dump on people's lawns.
