You love the way he pours on the sweet talk, his tongue practically hanging out of his mouth as he buys you another drink and admires your eyes, your mouth, your cleavage. You love the way he promises you the moon. You love the little tricks he plays to get closer—accidentally on purpose rubbing his arm against your arm. You relish the moment he throws caution to the wind, and despite all the risks, he goes for broke and leans over and kisses you full on the mouth, without hesitation, without permission, completely aware that he may get a hard slap across the face.

No, they’re not driven by the desire to obtain money or fame or power. They’re not driven by a need to be admired and appreciated for their good deeds and altruism. No, they’re driven by their need for sex. They only want money and fame and power and adoration because they think it’ll help them get more sex!
