Sex vs Love
I just finished reading a great book. It's called "Orbit" by John Nance. A ficitional story about a guy who wins a trip into space. Takes the trip, the ship is damaged while in stable orbit and the pilot is killed. He's stuck up there alone with no means of communication or return, so he starts writing his epitaph on a laptop to pass the time until CO2 saturation and death occurs. He doesn't know that there's a link to Earth and the whole world is reading each word. Really a great read.
In one of his writings he makes this statement: Women give sex to get love. Men give love to get sex. I read it a few times and it got me thinking. Kinda makes sense....yes?

I'd amend that to say women give sex to get money.

No....married for 14 years. The book took a very deep approach to life, priorities, choices, etc. Just like you guys! What was I thinking?
Now...back to the bikini thread...

Men marry thinking she will never change, and they do.
Women marry thinking they can change him, and they can't.

Love is an oft-pleasant self-delusion. Sex is quite real.

I remember my now deceased batchlor uncle showing me a book called "Everything Men Know about Women". It was about the size of a postage stamp and held ten blank pages.

I knew girls that would have sex because they liked it and not looking for any source of income.
Then again, the girls that Larry King, Hugh Hefner, Don Imus, Howard Stern and Donald trump are tagging are not into the sex with them per se, they are into the bling that comes with it. I mean, come on! Those guys look like arse!
