Like a lot of men I had a LTR with kids. It became a sentence without sex for too long and ended in a financial mess.
Since then I had new relationships but it is work to make it work. Those ended and just ventured out purely for companionship and sex. We as men cannot deny we need sex. Having said that, there is also no substitute for sleeping next to a woman that you love and can make you happy and who will gladly suck you off and fuck you.
