It sounds like it might be an interesting article. Intimacy is important for everyone.

What was the central argument of the article?

Well I’m sure it destroys some men, the great thing about life is that none of are the same.

Is this your way of saying you need a fuck? Because if it is, it's bloody clever

If you subscribe to attachment theory it’s especially important to develop secure attachment in the first few years through intimate connection to primary care givers.

Wish I'd have thought of it.

Did I mention I'm so lonely?

Well coming from someone that gets pretty much next to no intimacy whatsoever .... Its stressful and makes one think they're worthless and no one wants.

I've lost all ambition and the get go and I just don't care anymore it's how it is ... There's no one out there for me and I accept it.

"What do you think?"

I think it does yes, it's a basic human need and if we don't get it, it leads to many a mental health problems.

Intimacy can come in many forms. But as it's not a sole activity, it needs to be with mutual agreement and benefiting both/all parties.

I think you’re wrong there. Not everyone does. I do definitely but look how many marriages fail or how many look elsewhere due to lack of intimacy. Depends on the type of person you are but no not everyone needs it.

That's not necessarily because the individuals don't want intimacy.

Just not with that person anymore.

They will often go on to be intimate with a new partner.

"Why did the article single out men? "

My thoughts entirely and without seeing the article in question it's difficult to know the background and context.

In general terms some (of all genders) crave intimacy more than others and I think it's a huge and sweeping generalisation to suggest it's destroying anyone.

Personally I thrive on intimacy, love and affection and simply feeling wanted but I know plenty who don't

Agreed.

Lost intimacy about 7yrs ago.

3st heavier, smoking like a trooper and sex is an annual event.

Tried everything but nothing of an evening. Kisses during day when kids are around but once its evening, tired face/sore tummy/headache, so I have a beer.

I think that’s where it’s difficult, when one person still craves it in a relationship and the other one doesn’t. It’s easy to say well don’t be with that person then but when people have a life and a family it’s not that easy.

So there is no quick fix for that it’s only you who can change it, it’s simple really. If we go through a difficult time people listen and help for a period of time then you have to get on with it, if you don’t it’s sad but a familiar story

It is very true, but its very hard to love yourself when your in a bad place, its a vicious circle, you know your a good person but no one will give you the time of day because of your mental state, even friends and family can give up on you and when this happens how can you love yourself, I know it's the cliche thing to say that you need to love yourself before anyone will love you but when your in that place and you hear this, it does not help at all, it makes you feel worse about yourself.

Your probably going to get a one sided / warped perspective of this question on here. The fact that your here, pondering such depths suggests you’ve made a decision and most likely won’t change it whatever your reply.

The more interesting question.. is just how bored is everyone on these forums that a post on cheese is one of the most popular topics spanning weeks.

No but sometimes you can’t just think of yourself when making decisions.

My long term FWB was married and unfortunately most people on here only see black or white and that isn’t always the case. That’s why I’m usually the only woman jumping on the “married man” “cheating scum” threads. His situation was heartbreaking and for a site that you’d think would be non-judgemental it’s quite the opposite.

Tried everything but nothing of an evening. Kisses during day when kids are around but once its evening, tired face/sore tummy/headache, so I have a beer.

So there is no quick fix for that it’s only you who can change it, it’s simple really. If we go through a difficult time people listen and help for a period of time then you have to get on with it, if you don’t it’s sad but a familiar story

No it’s not simple at all.

Very difficult but life keeps going on with or without you x

How’s that comment relevant?

I just mean I’m sure everyone at some point has thought I’ve had enough or I don’t know how to get through this but the world doesn’t ever stop for anyone,

No but sometimes you can’t just think of yourself when making decisions.

My long term FWB was married and unfortunately most people on here only see black or white and that isn’t always the case. That’s why I’m usually the only woman jumping on the “married man” “cheating scum” threads. His situation was heartbreaking and for a site that you’d think would be non-judgemental it’s quite the opposite. "

I agree with you, this site is nothing like I expected it’s got a lot of insecure judgemental people on it. I’m not being judgemental all I’m saying is life is hard and it’s not black or white it’s grey. I just think because everyone has different personalities that people don’t realise it’s difficult for everyone but we all deal with stuff our way x

"Well coming from someone that gets pretty much next to no intimacy whatsoever .... Its stressful and makes one think they're worthless and no one wants.

I've lost all ambition and the get go and I just don't care anymore it's how it is ... There's no one out there for me and I accept it.

Mate, the 1 thing I’ve learned in life is that it’s very difficult for everyone. We all have a story but as soon as we give up lose confidence it’s all down hill. How can anyone love someone who doesn’t love themselves

This is so true

Agreed.

It sure has, very judgemental. We all judge but if I do I do it in my own head, I don’t slate other people for what they do and don’t do. A lot of the things I see on here are not for me but I don’t have to do it so it’s of no relevance to me.

Anyway we’re straying from the original op here. Sorry! I have a habit of doing that

It’s fine we are just having a conversation, I have people in my life who crumble easily and it’s unfortunate for them but we can only do so much to help.

Anyway in answer to the original op. I need intimacy and affection, not easily found here which is why I don’t really bother as I want that but I don’t want a “proper relationship”. I also make it clear from the beginning and on my profile that I’m not here looking for random meets etc. So I think this definitely applies to both genders.

So I want that but I don’t need it, it’s something that cannot be manufactured and I’ll happily be alone rather than be with the wrong person.

I’m on here because I thought people didn’t want that, I’m on here to get away from being emotional but it’s full of people trying to deal with something that’s happened, a catch 22

To be honest I think I’m in the minority with my views! In fact I know I am so you’ll be fine. I’ve sort of given up now and only pop on for the forums. I do think there’s a lot of people with different issues on here though. I read some posts and I think to myself is this really the best place for you!? I think fab is whatever you want it to be.

Mate, the 1 thing I’ve learned in life is that it’s very difficult for everyone. We all have a story but as soon as we give up lose confidence it’s all down hill. How can anyone love someone who doesn’t love themselves

This is so true

Agreed.

Lost intimacy about 7yrs ago.

3st heavier, smoking like a trooper and sex is an annual event.

Tried everything but nothing of an evening. Kisses during day when kids are around but once its evening, tired face/sore tummy/headache, so I have a beer.

I think that’s where it’s difficult, when one person still craves it in a relationship and the other one doesn’t. It’s easy to say well don’t be with that person then but when people have a life and a family it’s not that easy.

Yes, never leaving my kids and I do love my wife but constant deferral has left me almost useless sexually

Thank god for showers, toys, lube and Fab

Maybe kick yourself into shape. Lose weight, stop smoking etc etc and stop blaming everyone else.

We all have a part to play in our own destination. "

I can’t either which is why I’m looking for a regular thing. Hundred percent don’t want anything else and never will. Not gonna happen. There’s fab and there’s real life. Will always be separate for me.

Is that where you are then? Yeah just a bit!"

Yes, I always say doesn’t matter where you come from or what religion you are if I meet someone I like it’s just very natural

"Anyway in answer to the original op. I need intimacy and affection, not easily found here which is why I don’t really bother as I want that but I don’t want a “proper relationship”. I also make it clear from the beginning and on my profile that I’m not here looking for random meets etc. So I think this definitely applies to both genders.

So I want that but I don’t need it, it’s something that cannot be manufactured and I’ll happily be alone rather than be with the wrong person.

Oh yes definitely. Hence me being on here for 18 months and can’t seem to find the person for me! Haha

You and me alike Nora.

Hahaha don’t we know it! Me and you will be here forever!

Are you both on here for a boyfriend or to explore new things? It’s not a place to find a soulmate lol

God no! That’s what I don’t want! I just want a FWB but just one. A few people want the same to be honest it’s just finding the right one but you dont what to share thats the problem isn't it?

Yep. I don’t share. Unless I’m there too

Exclusive...that's the elephant in the room

Yep! But that’s what I want and if it happens it happens. There’ll be no compromising on that one. I dont think hes here somehow...spider looks under pillow"

If people can do that it’s great. I need someone local, I have children and responsibilities that don’t allow me to travel too far. It’s just not feasible. Distance is the nightmare of fab!

"Your probably going to get a one sided / warped perspective of this question on here. The fact that your here, pondering such depths suggests you’ve made a decision and most likely won’t change it whatever your reply.

The more interesting question.. is just how bored is everyone on these forums that a post on cheese is one of the most popular topics spanning weeks.

Have you posted on the wrong thread?"

No. The reason for the lack of intimacy is because this is a swinging site. People try not to get intimate. Therefore the perspective on the question will be warped.

"Read an interesting article on this topic recently, it made a lot of sense. "

If by being here then I’m inclined to agree as I think sites like this mean you can avoid intimacy, say for example you have had a bad relationship and want something simpler. The same is probably true of women though to be fair

Without reading the article its hard to judge

However I know with my fwb he didn't have intimacy with meets. It actually caused some issues for us because I was craving the intimacy and he didn't know how to give it. We got through it and are incredibly strong as fwb.. Any girls that meet him now you have me to thank if he head kisses and cuddles... #jusy sayin

But on the same note some men are just not comfortable with intimacy and some woman are the same. It doesn't have to be a bad thing

But by asking the question here, you will get a warped response. Ask it in real life for the true answer.
