Hey, we need cuddle time too. I don't think it is as simple as that- we fantasize too- we have dreams and desires, wants and needs that are just as complex as women- we just are not culturally encouraged to show that side so most of us don't. A lot of men joke about sleeping around but when it comes down to it they would rather have someone special in their lives who would stand by them, laugh with them (not at them)

and love them for who they are-not who the person thinks they should be. After you have done the casual sex thing for awhile you crave an intimacy that is deeper than just a roll in the hay. Saying that- I don't think self love and sex with another partner is in any way equatable - just different forms of survival- both are necessary but for different reasons- the first one is about loving who you are, the second one is about sharing that love with another person. But I'm getting older- and am running on fewer marbles

these days so I may be the only left one who thinks that way...
