I’m not saying all men, because I was one of those men who valued loyalty above all and planned to have my one and only. I still think these men exist, but they’re very rare, especially in the gay world. I even find them a little naive for my taste now. It takes a very particular mindset and self-control to stick to monogamy in the long term, and that’s what I’ve lost out of spite, because I never got that in return.
By “men aren’t built for that,” I mean so many things by that, from our biology to the endless barrage of cheating stories, and even to socio-cultural differences between countries. Too many things point to us not being a monogamous species, but our societies in the West tend to romanticize and entertain the idea anyway.
Yeah, absolutely, women are quite horny too, and I don’t mean to downplay that. I’m only talking about my experience and what led me to this attitude that I wouldn’t have accepted for me mere years ago.
And thank you, you’re very kind, and that’s very commendable of you.

That’s fair and I understand to a degree. But if we replace “men” with “people” I’d totally agree. But that’s a massive undertaking to unpack.
Still, I honestly wish you the best!

Anytime! And again, best of luck to ya.
