I have not gone off to war, been royal, used sex to harm someone, had sex to gossip about, have not been in a cult so no leader ordered my sex life, not been paid for sex, not been an actor in a porn film, not been an eskimo, not had sex in a swinging situation, not had sex for a bet, not been coerced into sex, not had sex with a celebrity to brag about it, and not had sex to prove I was heterosexual. I have had sex for many other reasons....

the best reason for sex is because you and your partner enjoy sharing pleasure and love each other....

Liking someone is a good start, but you also need to have hot chemistry together to really enjoy the sex...

According to Billy Crystal, men just need a room, but women need a reason. I have given the females at least fifty of them, so lets get the party started...

Of course men don't always need a room, if you are willing to risk a few mosquito bites...
