I'm surprised that Thompson would say that, he didn't seem like the type but he definitely was an original.
BTW, I just checked, it's been 15 years since he passed, doesn't seem that long to me.

I'd say sex without love is 2x better than masturbation whereas sex with love is probably 10-20x better. Then again, I don't really know what's going on in the heads of other guys so I can't really quantify it very well. A lot of guys I know don't feel any difference between casual sex and masturbation. Other guys don't seem to feel much difference between relational sex and casual sex.
For women, it might be 40x better. I have a theory that men usually are less sensitive to the effects of oxytocin. Oxytocin increases the pleasure of sex dramatically which is why so many women only start behaving like sex addicts once they are in love, but men are more likely to be addicted to sex as a general matter regardless of emotions or feelings. Once they are in love though, women may be even more sensitive to sexual pleasure than men are.

I've always found that to be one of his less insightful quotes, having found both of those to be quite satisfying.

sometimes love will be there, sometimes it will not be.
Often I would say that love is circumstantial, and often toxic.
But sex is still good!
