Getting laid is to have sex. As in, laid down on the bed and pounded. Make sense?
A lot of people will use the word ‘laid’ out of a feeling of desperation. Like, ‘man I’m so stressed out, I totally need to get laid.’ or ‘I haven’t been laid in forever!’. It’s a useful term.
There have been times in my life where I’ve needed to get laid more than others, and usually it’s those times where I haven’t gotten laid. High school, for example. Masturbating every night, making myself come two to three times a night just to be able to face the stress of trying to fit in and find a place where I belong. I could’ve definitely used a long-term lay in high school. My late teens and early twenties were a pretty big wash. Totally depressed and unable to shower, working at Subway and living in my parents basement, failing the three university classes I was taking and spending hours one night trying desperately to comb out the dreads that had formed in my hair from lack of washing. Like, obviously nobody was going to fuck me then, but if I had been getting laid during that period, it may have been the bright spot that could’ve gotten me through a little less scarred.
In my mid-twenties I certainly had more action, though still not enough. In my late twenties I was getting all kinds of action, but there were still these moments where it would have been so awesome to get laid but my partner was tired or stressed or just wasn’t into it. So I guess we never really get to a point in our lives where we’re constantly getting laid every single time we want it, without question. I mean, unless we’re doing it to ourselves, but the very point of the word is that someone is doing the laying on or to you.
Usually getting laid also insinuates a certain amount of emotional disconnect. Not that you can’t ‘get laid’ by someone you’re emotionally connected to, but it’s a little more about scratching an itch than sharing a moment. You’re both there and experiencing it, but you probably aren’t looking lovingly into each other’s eyes. In fact, it’s more likely that you’re on top turned around in a reverse cowgirl with a vibrator on your clit pounding out orgasm after orgasm because all you really want is to come and feel good and satisfied so that you can get back to that essay you’re writing on post-colonial theory. You don’t necessarily have the time or the energy to put a bunch of emotional work into this particular sex session. You just want to fuck and get on with your afternoon. There’s renovating to do and the bathroom needs cleaning. It’s just the way it is.
1. That dude just needs to get laid.
2. If I don’t get laid I’m going to set my hair on fire, and not the hair on my head.
