to clarify a few things 1. I talk about men as kinda gross in this thread, but I'm intentionally doing a pretty narrow aesthetic. I've also talked really glowingly about male sexuality and equally grossly about female sexuality; i don't mean to sound like i uniquely hate men

Men are werewolves As an escort, I'd have dinner with an intelligent, perceptive man - ceo or something - and I'd think, no way he's a werewolf. When we end up in bed, he'll remain himself, conscious, alert. But no; they transformed every time into an unrecognizable sex creature.

2. no, this isn't a selection effect from men who choose escorts. you don't know the kind of men who choose escorts; they're the people you know, your coworkers, friends, maybe it's you. They're not some other breed, they're *men* If anything it's selecting 'successful men'

3. it's also true of non-paying men in my personal life, and I've historically been pretty slutty so I've got a decent sample size. It's just less noticeable because personal-life men have tended to be less 'business successful', they're less polished, so change is less startling

4. a point i didn't emphasize enough was that this transformation is only stark cause of pressures on men - particularly high visibility, successful ones - to be nonsexual or sexually 'pure'. I wrote this after reading about Bill Gates and feeling mad at society's surprise.

It's high variance; overall pretty neutral, with a slight trend towards negative due to the amount that I preferred the wolf versions less than the human versions.

What did you expect those men to be like in sexual situations? I'm not sure I understand? Like were you expecting them to be witty and charming whilst having sex? Or alternatively, how do women have continuity here?

Yes, kind of? Or maybe, expected larger parts to carry over from the person I'd just spent a lot of time getting to know. Like if they seemed in control and suave, I thought maybe they'd be in control and suave during sex.

You are one of the bravest people on Twitter. Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable about topics most are too embarrassed to discuss. That being said, the experiences you describe sound like you are the one failing to be present in these interactions. You are the werewolf.

Men are conditioned this way. Showing sexuality in youth is seen as shameful and gets reactions of disgust. While dating we are taught to avoid mentioning sex. Etc. Men are only supposed to show sensuality once we are inside the Magic Circle.

So when you feel "mad" its okay to make literally blanket sexist remarks? And you vote. And drive. And probably raised a kid or two. America is so fucked because of this type of hypocrisy.

This is the *main* point tho. I’m not sure which men in American society don’t *perceive* the same pressure. Apex males succeed with being overtly sexual. The other 99% split sexuality off from their social persona. More charitable to label it the (tragic) imperfection of man.
