On Physical Affection
by Josh Staiger
Last week I was pretty impressed with myself for having the epiphany, after much observation, that women enjoy laying on top of each other.
I was discussing this theory with some people (a rigorous process of peer review), and Karthik had rather interesting take:
"Actually, I think most people would like to lie on top of each other. People enjoy affection. However, we men have hangups about it. Thus women tend to give and receive more affection (that doesn't involve pseudo violence of some sort) and are more balanced in that aspect of their lives. This correlates to a complaint I have heard from some women about men: that we get too caught up in the physical aspect of a relationship. Perhaps this is because romantic relationships are the only outlet we allow for ourselves to express our sensuality."
