- I didn't really touch on this in my discussion, but this is exactly how
- I feel. However, I think this is a part of the individual relationship/
- interaction, and is different with every partner. What I was discussing
- originally is the idea of *all* men as "only for sex" and (sometimes)
- all women as "for 'real'/emotional relationships." I wasn't trying to
- devalue "sex for fun," but I think that looking at *all* men as "only
- for sex" is devaluing men *and* sex with men.
