Do men just crave orgasm and the afterglow that comes with it?

Is it the longing that is the fuel for desire? Men’s desire just isn’t layered on emotion.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • Do we? I personally don't and most guys I know don't.

    • Most my friends are older so it could be partly due to that or it could be due to living in a small town and not a city. I'm really not sure which or if both

    • That’s not a question for me to answer. But from my experience, female desire in men typically hinges on sex while, young women often fantasize about romance and being properly courted by “the one” or someone who’s willing to stick around.

  • We don't all do that, but the instinctive drive for sex is very strong.

  • I wonder of this too, wonder why girls like it

  • Some do, Some dont. Some men actually grow up and become mature, But then you have the one who never will.

  • According to your logic I might not be a man then, cause I care about love over sex. Unless you're research is coming from 1800's then it's understandable.

    • Well, if we’re going by statistics then I guess not. Divorce rates are astronomical, men aren't wanting to commit to marriage, nobody wants kids anymore, etc. Guys start out as “players” then gradually mature. The is the rule of nature playing out. It’s fairly common. Albeit, you’re probably the exception rather than the rule.

  • Who said that cause it's not true

    • Only media and years of evolution.

    • The media is bullshit

    • Well years of evolution of course.

  • sex makes all right!

  • Because we, straight men at least, can't just pick one of the millions of women offering to fuck us if we want sex like you can.

    So you are looking for the thing you dont have, the connection, we are looking for the sex and the connection and as it seems like it should be easier to find at least the sex we prioritise that over the happily ever after.

    What you do is pick your favourites from the list of guys offering themselves to you which is invariably the same guys the other girls are choosing too which then puts those guys into the position most women are in where they dont need to look for sex which also then creates a snowballing effect making them more attractive etc.

    They can then just string you along and take whatever they want from you or if they find one they have a connection with then great, the dating world has worked for whatever tiny percentage of the population.

    It presumably helps considerably on both sides if you are completely mainstream and have no strong feelings about anything.
