Examples
“As I get⟳ to know⟳ a man, the image becomes overshadowed by his real self. I like⟳ him for who he is, but not for sex. There are also men I've been sexual with who did not become⟳ friends. These have⟳ been men with whom the only basis for interaction was sexual attraction […] It was easier to continue⟳ to be sexual with these men, because I did not care to learn⟳ about them as people. They could more easily remain⟳ sex objects than the men I cared about. So I'm left with some friends, some fuck buddies, and no sustaining intimate sexual relationships. I'm lonelier than I'd like⟳ to be, not because I have⟳ to be half of a couple, but because I want⟳ to connect⟳ with men more deeply.”
““Laszlo is so lucky to have⟳ someone like⟳ you. Someone who cares about him and worries about his well-being.” “Well, yes, Laszlo is not just my husband, or my number⟳ one fuckbuddy, but he is also my best friend.” “Must be nice.””
