Do men REALLY enjoy sleeping around?

The following advice was just given from one man to a younger man in another thread:

"stay single and fuck as many as girls while you are young."

And I can't help but wonder if men (and I use that term loosely) REALLY derive as much pleasure from meaningless sex as they act like they do. My experience has taught me that meaningless sex usually just isn't that good.

    I can't speak for anyone other than myself, but no, I do not enjoy sleeping around. I'm just sick and tired of it.

    And in retrospect, if I could do the last 7 years over again, I wouldn't have slept with as many women as I have.

    Morally, it's horrible. But in practice, I agree.

    i have a friend who ive known for years
    she used to be engaged and they broke it off 12 months ago

    shes been (as she puts it) "making up for lost time"

    i understand wanting to get back out there

    but theirs a difference between getting back out there and what shes doing

    shes gone through more guys in 12 months then i have in 29 years

    shes changing
    and i dont like the new her :roll:

    so its not just males. i know this

    Point taken.

    But I would argue that it's the men, not the women, who are in pursuit of all this meaningless sex and who are advising other men that it's valuable. You hardly hear women giving that kind of advice.

    I think it would be more appropriate to say that women "have" meaningless sex than that they "like" it. Just because they give in to men's advances, doesn't mean they really like it - certainly not enough to make it a life's pursuit.

    These are all just total generalizations, of course, and I'm sure there are outliers on both sides.

    But I wonder if men like the idea of lots of sex with lots of women more than they like the experience of it. And I wonder if some of the guys who give this advice (present company excluded) give it not because they've done it and enjoyed it, but because they haven't done it and think they must have missed out on something.

    Hahaha... brought up an interesting question though, if you ask me!

    On that note, I think maybe I'll get drunk now! :D

    Yeah, I know it's not just males. Just seems more ubiquitous in male culture. (I wonder, too, if some women picked this idea of making up for lost time up from male culture.)

    After putting more thought into this, I think ultimately it boils down our evolution as a species. It is not uncommon to see in other primates the 'alpha' male having sex with as many partners as they can.

    Now, why one male would tell another male to have as much sex as he can, which would limit the first ones ability to pass on his genetic material is beyond me.

    Now, I'm not sure if I'm just rambling here, and not making any sense, but I think I know what I'm trying to say.

    this is so true. i made some decisions i regret in the past and ive really made an attempt to change. im a 21 year old guy and ive gone over a year without sex...a couple years ago i thought that having sex was no big deal and i slept around quite a bit. now i just want the real thing and im willing to wait for it.

    Okay, so that might explain the biological drive, but it doesn't answer the question about whether the experiences themselves are really pleasurable.

    I mean, I could sit here all night and tell my friends I need to get laid, and I could even go out and find a willing guy and sleep with him, but I'm not going to because (for one thing) I doubt I would actually enjoy the experience. To me, sex is much better when it's an expression of real affection for someone you care about, and when it's with someone who cares enough and has been around long enough to learn what gives you pleasure, ya know? (Otherwise, I could just do a better job myself without some hairy, sweaty man to please.)

    Not been single for a long long time, and I'm female, so maybe I shouldn't be answering at all. But I'm nosey and read the thread anyway.

    To be honest, I've never really slept around, I've had the odd one night stand which certainly wasn't the best sex I've ever had. In my experience (limited as it is), if you are with a man for a one off they aren't going to take the time to find out what a woman wants or enjoys, they are just going in their for the wam bamb get thier rocks off - I may be wrong in some instances, maybe some men aren't like that (?).

    But I think men and woman are different when it comes to bonking, I think it's easier for a man just to get on in there do it and off they go again. Personally, I don't think for a lot of women (not all) that meeting up with someone doing it and travelling on to the next whatever is that physically satisfying. I think that maybe some women do it to make themselves feel attractive, insecurity or whatever.

    Anyway, I don't know what I'm talking about really. So I'll butt out. :)

    No more then women. Its just more socially expectable for men to do it. My experience has told me that dudes who sleep around make for shitty friends as well. They are really selfcentered and will stab you in the back when it comes to meeting women or cock blocking. Its all about them.

    Don't get me wrong, as a dude, its hard for me to say no.... but I'm not a cut-throat like some d-bags.
