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?

Wrong again. A meaningful encounter is far more satisfying than your cheap meaningless ones.

Compatibility is important. I don't want to live with anyone. I don't want marriage or kids either. 

Probably someone who has experienced and been thru a lot and learned and grown from that.

And did all that promote your ideal self ?

Too late. I'd already discovered I had nothing to be modest about while I was in high school.

As did I, but (very respectfully) you did not answer my question. 
It's quite possible that we really have "no issues", but having been raised in a very liberal, yet very Catholic "moral"
environment, with my "protector" (great granny) who "got" that having all the *good genes* of her handsome family, (she was afriad I would be taken advantage of), 
I was somewhat vulnerable, I am forever "skewed" by that, (which I am fine with). I had a contract with Eileen Ford when I was 16, 
when I ran away from military high school and hitch-hiked across the country back home. I had applied to an Ivy League college before that, 
(as my very adolescent plan), and when I showed up home, they grounded me "for the rest of your life" LOL, but said, "if you really got into (the Ivy League)
we will agree with your plan". Seems to have worked out for me. Smile

By that time I was uninterested in that. I was alive despite the best efforts of a lot of people, starting with my father. By the time I got to PR I was quietly happy.

You've never had a basket fuck in Rio.

True, I haven't, lol Smile
But I suspect I would be unsatisfied.  I don't have many nerve endings.

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

Maybe you’re doing it wrong.

Entirely possible.

I don't have any cheap meaningless ones.  They are all meaningful and rich.  Casual doesn't have to be without feeling or meaning or complexity.
Additionally, rich + cheap is still more than just rich. So when you say I'm wrong, you are actually wrong. Which is interesting.

My ideal situation would be some dream like situation where I have lots of good looking women who are loyal to me who are into the same interests as me and do the things I want to do.

Before anyone says I'm immature for this, I don't actually aim for this in life, I realise that would be insane.

Also kind or an unpopular opinion is that I think most men want sex with as many beautiful women as possible to an extent.

Southpark kind of did an episode on this were men were pretending they were confused by male celebrities having as much sex as possible and calling it sex addiction, when in reality if most men had the options these celebrities had they would take it.

But to give a more practical non dream world answer, my life is unfortunately too busy and I have sleep problems so a stable normal relationship is tough for me. I meet up every now and again with 3 women I know. I've been doing that this year. I've been pretty satisfied with that, and I've been talking to one of them nearly daily on the phone. I met her on a swingers site so we both see other people.
One thing I really wish for that would be more ideal is I wish I knew more active people, not even in terms of people I know romantically but most female or male friends I know don't do anything physical, walking, exercising, running, climbing or anything.

I agree, I think most want a harem.

RE: Your Ideal Relationship Arrangement
I think my family was too female heavy for me to escape childhood thinking that a harem would be swell. I know better.

My ideal arrangement is pretty close to the one I have. One life, one man, one woman, lots of kids. Could use more fuckin money though.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
