This story was OK, but I feel like it was not very interesting. I found the 1924 short story "Something New" to be more interesting. Both this story and that story seem to be "Genre: Humor, Romance", but the 1924 one reaches into the depths of curious or odd relationships. I also found https://archive.org/details/savefanfiction-11892034-What_Was_That_-DSLeo to be more interesting. This story, "Infinite Love", references "The Bachelor [...] Grey's Anatomy [shit TV show], Scandal, and How to Get Away with Murder [I might watch this one]".

From "Something New" - https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Something_New_(Smith) :
He remembered an aphorism from Nietzsche: "When thou goest to women, take thy whip." "By Jove, the old boy had the right dope," he thought. "Too bad I didn't think to take my whip with me; but after all, I have my hands, and a little rough stuff can't make matters any worse."
