I feel sorry for you. You do get, I hope, it's what you make of it.

What is the harm of a random intimate moment with a stranger (or non-stranger)?

Did I say harm anywhere ?
I prefer the non - cheap versions of shit in life.

If you aren't implying harm, then I don't understand you argument.

We agree, I take it, that such an encounter would be pleasurable.

So it seems to me that I am saying that having a partner (with all that rich non-shit sex) + also having pleasurable cheap shit sex is better than only having a partner, yet you seem to disagree but have no case to undermine my hedonic calculus here.  Rich + cheap is still better than just rich, if there's zero harm/downside yes?

So, you must be implying that there's some harm in casual sexual encounters for your disapproval to make sense.  Can you explain what that harm is?

I find casual sex pretty unsatisfying.

All sex is pretty unsatisfying.
But partner sex plus casual sex seems to offer the most likelihood of satisfaction.

Post after post of how to make your sex life more satisfying, yet I'm chasing "phantoms of assumption and interpretation."

Mmm-kay.

Yes, it's all in your head.  Obviously I'm posting a lot - it's my thread and I'm responding to multiple people.  Equating my interest in discussing sexual relationships with being obsessed with sex is ridiculous.

But, let's say for the sake of argument that I am obsessed.  OK.  So now what?  Nothing follows from that.  My arguments are still the same.

You can say it's all in my head, but I can only see the face you present.

Well, you can also take my express statements, but for some reason you prefer interpreting internet forum posts in an uncharitable manner rather than just accept what I explicitly say.

Well, when what you explicitly state flies in the face of all other evidence...
