While this might be the case for a very few (sociopathic) individuals, it is certainly not so in most cases. On the contrary, playboys are often more susceptible to the lure of affection than anyone else. It is what they secretly crave--and enjoy---more than even sex. Does it follow that long-term monogamy is therefore the right choice for the playboy? Not necessarily, since it is common knowledge that sex tends to drop off after a while in a monogamous relationship, and that with it intimacy can often also die. Taking a pragmatic approach, the playboy therefore favours mini-relationships over long-term commitments. While this route is not 'easy', it is perhaps the most realistic, given the truths of the sexual marketplace. Sign up for Troy's daily email here.
