If you consider yourself a man who values intimate relationships instead of a hook up culture, what do you think shaped you into being this way? Was it how you were raised or something significant that happened to you? I find it very interesting how nowadays there seems to be such a stark difference in men, where many are only looking to hook up with one night stands or they rack up a high body count and sex is only casual to them, but on the other hand there are still a lot of men who yearn for intimate and deep level relationships and have lower body counts of only a few select people and are only sexually attracted to a select few women they connect with on a deeper level. I’m curious to know the psychology behind what impacts this. If you identify with one, or even other being more sexually charged, I’d love to hear more about what experiences or moments led to you being this way. I don’t think one is better or worse than the other, I just find it interesting that most guys seem to lean strongly either one way or the other and don’t often fall in the middle and I’m so curious about what can cause a man to have one perspective vs another. submitted by /u/Complex-Reindeer8623
