I think most of us here are the pleasure-seeking kinds, with maybe a dash of lonely/unhappy thrown in.

I go clubbing because it's fun to be with beautiful women who sexually arouse me. I also love my regular girls because it's more intimate and I especially love my ATF because it's all of the above plus she makes me laugh.
