Oh, I know. Right now, I'm emotionally satisfied. It's just the physical satisfaction that's a little lacking. I also tend to prefer a degree of emotional connection in my physicality, so I wind up not meeting a lot of viable partners for anything. I think I've met one girl in the last six months that is even slightly intriguing to me, and then, only just.
But I don't feel like it's a problem, either. As I said, I'm satisfied. The issue arises when one is not satisfied, and is embroiled in circumstances that inhibit their ability to attain satisfaction.
Pardon the reminder, then. It works well for us - but that's us, and as you well know, we're a pair of very odd people. Our romance is characterized by drawing flaming hearts in kerosene, promises to not hesitate on shooting to kill if the other becomes a zombie, co-op and competitive gaming, and discussions of which knives we should get when we replace our current blades, or which cigars would best suit which whiskey. We're quite in love. Either that, or we're fondly psychotic. Either way, it works for us. And Yes, I'm gushing about it, because I so rarely get to, and I so commonly want to.
Buuuuut anyway. If I might tentatively suggest so, exploring other options first might be a good idea. I'm reluctant to say much more, since I don't know owt, and it's not my business to know owt, less you make it so.
A recent study (5 minutes of googling didn't find it since "study" and "love" really aren't good keywords to finding anything specific) correlates the beginning stages of a love relationship to basically being retarded since all that infatuation is effectively made possible by a lot of your brain processes being inhibited.

I want a girlfriend just like yours. Someone to blow things up with on Valentine's Day.

I've heard of said study. Doesn't reduce the importance of love, evolutionarily or emotionally. It's there for a lot of reasons, and I'm willing to bet we still don't understand all of them.

Well, you never know, mate. I literally stumbled across her by accident. But then again, let's think about it - is there really anyone more qualified to put up with my madness? By the numbers, we're a damned near perfect fit for each other, and luckily, the numbers worked out in reality this time, too.
That's how they feel sometimes. (Lesbian Invisibility and all.) Meanie. But seriously, almost all of the gay guys I know are not much different than the straight guys I know as far as their relationships. Most of them have long term boyfriends, sometimes they break up, sometimes they have short-lived flings that don't turn into full relationships. They pine after guys they have crushes on, or they confess and get together with them. (However, most of my friend-friends are not filled with super drama.)
I think if anyone is being stereotypical about gay people, it's you.

I don't really speak about sexual relationships with my friends (and I don't have that many friends), so I have no anecdotal evidence, but it seems to me Kaptain K's comments in this thread have been highly stereotypical.
However, I do think Kaptain K's comments in this thread have been primarily tongue-in-cheek.
He's probably not even gay. He might not even be a man. He might not even formally exist.
Seriously, I think it smacks of "this is a persona I made," because he's a little too much of a caricature. However, trolls can also participate in discussion. Nine was abrasive and randomly mean sometimes, but sometimes he actually was informative and interesting. Nine didn't seem like a made up character, though. He just was one naturally. This guy seems like a made up character.
Actually, that one with the mirrors is pretty interesting. I'm not fully sure yet what would actually happen.

It's interesting that his account has been around since 2006, though. I'd say that makes him likely to be a podcast listener, troll or not.

BTW are you coming skiing tomorrow? We can all be gay on the mountain!
Hey, why don't y'all take a trip to North Carolina?

It's just some dude who's honed trolling to a science.
