Women and girls EVERYWHERE do indeed give it up for ATTENTION. That does not make it RIGHT. That does not justify it. But it IS the truth.

Ya know , Wknghrd2LoveEasy, that statement is really rather frightening to a BH. I say that because my wife gave it up to her boss, who was 12 years younger, after 32 years of M. She was no teenage girl, or even a woman who could hide behind naivety. She, like I, had been around the block a few times in our lives.

I am not trying to paint you into a corner, but perhaps EN's are overrated when it comes to pa. Ther are times, that I believe, that it was rather about frolicking in the persuit and excitement of the A. That can strike anyone at any age. In fact, age has no boundary for this to occur. Dr Harley admits this when he states, "We are all wired to have an A."

My Q thus becomes, what caused a WW to enter an A, unmet EN's or the thrill of the chase? Suppose we could debate this forever but now I'm hijacking Goldpig's thread.

Could start another thread if you care to?

All Blessings,
Jerry

Sex for attention? No friggin way.


Sorry Krazy. You are wrong. You are as wrong as you can be about this.

I find it interesting that the ONLY thing you noted was my LAST statement. You ignored EVERYTHING I said about teenage girls carrying bad boundaries and habits into adulthood.

The gist of what I said stands. Do you really believe that people do NOT CRAVE(men and women alike) attention??????? Really?

It absolutely, positively dumbfounds me that you could believe that.

AND the gist of what I have said repeatedly now is that MANY women want(need, whatever) the ATTENTION so badly that they they will TRADE sex for it. If they want a date, if they want a partner, anyone who gives them attention and if sex is the way to keep the guy coming back, to keep him talking to them, to keep him saying "sweet words", THEY WILL DO IT.

IT IS WRONG. It is about BAD BOUNDARIES.

I guess that I fail to see why you can't believe this. It is NOT a justification of ANYTHING. It is not an excuse. It is actually more of a condemnation.

Sex mostly because it feels good physically, and you get some attention as a minor side benefit? You bet.

That is MALE thinking. Not female.

The idea of course is that you will get attention AND it will feel good, for both men and women. But the reality IS that women CAN have sex even when it does NOT feel good, and as far as I understand it, men can NOT.

What you say may seem logical enough on paper, but when you put it to the test in the real world, it becomes completely silly.

Actually, what YOU are saying seems incredibly silly to me.

I just read this and discussed it with my 25 year old daughter. She laughed out loud and said about your post(without any prompting from me), "That is male thinking. Women don't think like that at all.

Looks like the Gym was working for her.

Does this mean that she will still do the test after the love busters.

And yeah, yeah Plan A does not include breaking down doors. Try keep a check here.

Unmet needs makes them susceptible for the advances and attention offered by the OM. The thrill only provides the high the affair gives. As with any high the WW becomes addicted to the source of the high. The OM.

Some WW's want the sex and the attention. Some WW's give sex to kept getting the attention from the OM.
