Feelings vs Sex

Sign in to disble this ad
I often wonder myself why is that when a woman wants her needs fullfilled regarding feelings it is like a noble cause wereas when a man wants his sex needs fullfilled hes labeled as a pig and yada yada.

If both situations are born from selfishness why is one better than the other?

You're simplifying the male desire for sex...

Sex is having our feelings tended too. If I didn't require emotional connection I would use my hand. Sex is how we express love and feel loved.

You'll notice it's generally women who say one is better than the other, not men. So it's not really an actual issue, just women favouring their viewpoint over ours. Worry not.

The whole deal is very simplified.

Ummmmmm.......

No. Sex is sex, and a hand is a cheap substitute for the real thing - a female body.

Emotions are a whole different ballgame.

Meh. While I agree you can have sex without emotion (Ie: with a prostitute, or some random chick you don't give a crap about) I would say that this kind of sex is just us fooling ourselves about what we really want.

Then again I'm one of these "quality types"

I asked my girlfriend and this is what I got:
You are comparing emotions to physical desires. Women don't like talking about physical desires, so talking about them is taboo, thus labeling guys as pigs when we talk about it. Emotions, on the other hand, are fine to talk about (to women) and thus a more noble need to fill.

Those were her words, not mine

I wouldnt say anyone in particular holds that viewpoint aside from yourself.

My woman knows that I have needs, and feels bad if some circumstance, like say us not being able to get some alone time or it being that time of the month for her*, prevents her from fulfilling those needs. Just the same, I feel bad if she has some issue and needs emotional support and I cant be there for her, like if Im at work or band practice. We both do our best to accomodate each other in every way, because we love each other.

*though theres always [i]other[/i[ things

This is not true. You should find yourself a new girlfriend. My girl has no problem talking about physical desires, whether they be hers or mine. Tell your girl not to be such a prude*, its just sex!




*I meant no offense by that

While you are right, my woman is not the typical woman, Id also have to say that my ex was also quite accomodating of my, somewhat unusual, needs.

The key is communication. Youve got to let your girl know up front what it is you want out of a relationship. I remember one of the first things discussed amongst my girlfriend and I upon embarking in our relationship was that we were both very sexual people. Now, not everything came to the forefront immediately, but it did open the gate, allowing for us to bring it up in conversation at any time.

*edit: I don't believe Ive ever dated a "typical" woman

Stop thinking her need is more noble than yours.

There.

Men who want to be her friend to get to sleep with her.

^ see the kind of people who think it? There's your problem.



At least, that would be my theory. Such an idea can also come from her friends trying to discredit you so she doesn't appear to be guilty.
