I’ve had many long discussions with women on how they really don’t want to believe what I tell them is going through a mans mind at times. They tell me it is cold and clinical if it doesn’t involve passion, but I think it’s not a simple as the dual state that the statement would have us believe. Here’s my take:
I think there are three cornerstones to great sex for a man, as follows:
1. Good plumbing (viagra type effects)
2. Libido and drive (testosterone)
3. Sensual (Seratonin/Dopamine etc).
I find that #1 has a place in almost any encounter, but #2 and #3 seem to fight for position. Both #2 & #3 are wonderful feelings, but at entirely opposite ends of the spectrum. #2 is forceful, animalistic, focused, pounding, rhythmical and almost transe like, whereas with #3 you feel more empathetic, warm, considerate, and happy just to ‘be’.
In a first encounter I will almost always try to be in the #1 & #2 zones, but as/if it becomes more of a relationship then I want to move more to #1 & #3 with occassional lapses to the former just to hot things up.
I doesn’t mean you don’t love the woman just because sometimes you want your reptilian brain take over for a while, and screw her right to the edge of consciousness. There’s the other 23 hours of the day for that :)
What amazes me about viagra is how popular it is. I don’t much like it as I think it is only ‘average’ in effect, and makes me flushed, blocks my sinuses, and even affects my vision at times. For me, Cialis is the drug of choice. I get none of the other sides, and it last for days at a time. I’m almost scared to use it, incase I somehow become immune to it. So I save it for the very special occasions. You can get it for about $1 a dose too. That combined with high testosterone is like a one two punch for men, though I can’t comment on testosterones effects for women. I think I’d be very cautious about it.
Just my two pence :)
