No, not in that way. Men need sex in order to feel that they are loved (on a subconscious level).
So basically, when you don't put out for your man, on some deeper level he thinks you don't love him.
I dunno, I've read it in a few places.  |
i thought this was more of a girl thing :conf: |

No, girls want general affection (or expensive presents) or attention.
Guys want to know that their lady wants to ride the salami slide all the time. |

i think this thread has the most attempts of self justification and examples of self contradiction in TA history.
no matter what justifications you give yourself to feel better, it will never change the selfishness of the act itself. |

That's exactly what I'm trying to understand! I usually debate with you for the sake of it, but this time around, we're on the same boat :p |

Of course. Why would it not? If you see your behavior as "caused" by circumstances external to you rather than as an effect of your will, then any temptation can become an excuse for acting in some way that hurts other people. |

Cheating per se is probably biologically advantageous; whatever subjective moral framework we impose upon the behavior of human beings strikes me as a giant, rancid red herring.
The real reason we should view cheating as repugnant - if we should at all - seems to be that, as a breach of an express or implied commitment, it reduces the ability of human beings generally to rely on the commitments of others, and thereby discourages interdependence and cooperation, which reduces behavioral efficiency.
Of course, that leaves open the question of whether some particular commitment in question has sufficient utility to be justified. If we can efficiently determine that a particular commitment does not, then the prudent thing would seem to be to simply refrain from making it, although, considering how emotionally fragile human beings tend to be, this may be generally impracticable. |
