I just can't help but weigh in on this one.

I am most likely an atypical male. Well my female friends often tell me so. I seem to want to know the person before any thing sexual and generally enjoy the friendship so much I never go near the sexual side. The only sexual relationship I have had at Pixies has resulted in that person being the only person who I thought as a close friend not wanting to see me on my trip.

I am very sensitive about emotional things and intensely loyal to my friends. I deeply care about people and the "real life" people talk about is no different to "on line" life where I am concerned. There is no lying about myself and I act no different than I would if it were face to face. I am no male slut who will take the chance of sex at every or any opportunity but I am a lover who will only make love with a person I care about either on line or off it.

True I flirt and enjoy that but when it comes to the nitty gritty I am true to my principles.

Not that I am trying to make myself out to be any better or worse than anyone else but it is essentially me. If I enter into a love relationship then it is with full emotional committment and I cannot turn it off. I still suffer the utter sadness of the failure of a love that lasted for more than 3 years on line that came to nothing, I expect that I always will.

A lot of men are more sensitive than they make out to be, but many are more interested in sex than love.

The internet is such an easy place to practise deception but also a place where you can get to know someone from the inside out. Many are the things I would post here or tell my friends on the internet than I would dare tell someone here face to face. I am sure that the person on line would have a much better idea of the person I am straight up than someone I met in my local community. It would take them years to be able to get close enough to know some of the things I tell strangers on line.

The basic things I hold dear, honesty, caring, decency, respect, inteligence, tolerance, open mindedness are the same whether on the net or in the community. Pixies is a place where you can be sexual and not face the narrow mindedness that seems to be rife in most societies. Most people i know from here are good folk who just like to express themselves in all different ways about heir sexuality.

I think that a lot of men do favour sex more than emotion and can detach themselves from emotion quite easily. There are men that are not able to do that though, I am one of them
