Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 01, 2021

I'm a man and on the flirting side. I have what now is decades old happy and stable relationship but to be frank I behaved the same way even when it was fresh. I even remember one occasion when me and my friend picked two attractive women on a party. He took his girl into his appartment for romantic night, I ordered a taxi for "my" girl to take her wherever she wanted. She was rather shocked to be honest and to this day I laugh internally remembering that. Normally getting a number or something similar is sufficient to know if you were successful or not.

Now what is the point? First, flirting is fun. And second it provides a feedback if you are up on your game physically but also socially. And I think it really has added benefits as if you for some reason misjudge the your flirting partner I think it is better to be considered a conservative as opposed to horny creep.

Second, I think that fucking may be problematic as it basically hooks you up on hormones - vasopressin for men and oxytocin for women. Both of these hormones are important for creating relationships although vasopressin is more long term while oxytocin can be very powerful even if you have one large dose. For instance new mothers create ungodly amount of oxytocin right after birth which helps them bond with the newborn. Anyway the point is that I do not want to needlesly fuck and possibly create relationship with this random hookup on a party. It is not something I am too concerned given my relatively cynic disposition but I'd definitely not recommend cock carousel for young women. It is just not healthy psychologically and unfortunately men are hormonally/emotionally better equipped for promiscuity. Again, there are huge individual differences but the point still stands.

And last comment for somebody who thinks that having sex is the main idea? I live in eastern Europe and if I wanted I can have sex with nice young escort for around hundred bucks per hour or even cheaper. Sex and beauty is so devalued it is almost laughable, young girls nowadays do not have problem going professional en masse.
