I do have the hormones of an 18 year old.

...when I'm dreaming...

....sound asleep.

I think also there is some other stuff going on here about how folks act early on when they are on the hunt versus after the catch is complete.

Both sexes do that....you know...using all their talents judiciously to get whatever it is our heart and genetics are pushing us towards.

Once done...then it changes some and is like you said ...more vulnerable to other pressures.

Holy Mackerel this thread has a lot of posts!

True . . .

sadly, among those other pressures are the

interminable and horrid control/power games.

Very deadly to good sex, those.
