great answer and one i've often thought. he brings in what the difference between straight and gay men isn't.
we are ALL pigs....
the difference is that gay men do what straight men want to do but women won't let them - have frequent sex with as many different partners as they want to just have sex.
well, that may not exactly be all true. it may be what straight men perceive women want. the straight male psyche, though they will go to all ends to deny it, thinks that it has to find a mate to reproduce himself, and anthropology and psychology show that women want a safe environment provided by their mates so that they can protect those little reproductions. straight men may have been tricked into thinking that it is the way it should be.
but..., i am of the opinion, that given the opportunity, straight men would f*** themselves to death also. remember, i said ALL men are pigs.
[i'm a man; i can say that; and i have dated some real ones. well, not pigs in the sense of four legs and a snout. (maybe i better think about that? some of them did seem to be rutting at times...)]
as Dan said in the video, how many is really up to the individual. his tale about his straight swinger friends is priceless.
in the end, the entire thing is just another obsession with sex. some people, myself included at times, have said that sex is highly overrated.
of course, some people have said that about gin, and chocolate and prime rib and music and...
i once tried to count how many partners i'd slept with. i was amazed that i could count that high, but i realized that only a couple were really worth it. sad...
