The need to be desired

November 15 2013

How important is being desired by other people a factor in being on this and similar sites. For men it would be easier and cheaper to use sex workers but that is a one way pleasure. So it can't be just the sex that motivates us. Sometimes I think just the thought of a woman wanting me would be more of a turn on than the physical act itself. Maybe I haven't had enough of this sort of validation in my life. Maybe i just need someone other than mrs slow to have a glass of sparkling in one hand and the other hand on my thigh telling me what she wants to do to me. Thats probably the main reason i am here. Interested to know what other people think about the importance of being desired versus the sex.

    Slow, I suspect that many people use the site for just that. I also suspect that they are also the same people who don't actually meet. The validation of intending to meet is enough perhaps to fulfill the needs of these people?- Posted from rhpmobile

    Very good point. Personally I'm here to meet others, but the messages and comments on my photos are very nice. This site can be a wonderful ego booster (much more so for the women) and feeling liked and desired are beautiful things.

    I know you didn't ask me, but I think a lot of people join without the intention of meeting anyone. I've seen plenty of posts and profiles of married men and women saying they're only here to look. I wonder if they are in a marriage where they are not appreciated and just want to feel... wanted.

    Those who create the online persona of who they wish they were, Like the morbidly obese lady who made herself out to be a burlesque dancer, then a doctor. She did actually meet others, but I suspect there are many who couldn't, as they would be outed as fakes immediately.

    Im pretty OK with who I am. I know my strengths and weaknesses, and how to work within, or around them.Sure, its nice to feel desired..... but I dont "need" that to function or hold solid self esteem. Who I am in here is who I am everywhere. I know I can attract and arouse a woman, drive her desire when I wish, and have her drive mine.... so its not something I consciously think about.

    I've met a few, but there is a different bugle to be blown here as well. While yes it feels awesome to hear or read those words "I'd love to meet and have a coffee" it's not the be all and end all of validation for me. But this is where my self loathing shit plays a role. Just recently I was having a conversation with a friend of mine, and I posed that the reality of meeting me was this:- IF..... A) it's possible to have the same type of conversation - depth, fun, etc - with me as it is with someone closer to where they live. B) it's possible that A is more easily achieved in the cities. Then what on earth have you been smoking to turn your focus to want me, when there are approx 1.5 million others that you can find, share, experience exactly the same depth, honesty, excitement etc with??? So most of the time I don't even bother allowing myself to meet others, as RHP has a messaging thing, phones can be used to hear someone's voice, and well.....you can see what I look like from my pics. - Posted from rhpmobile

    It's not to say I don't enjoy meeting people, but I take the above into consideration when I am deciding whether to meet or not. My desires take always take a back seat to a logical question. If I cannot prove to myself, that the other person would benefit, then I don't meet. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Is a fabulous feeling, should be more of it! A good friend of mine says we should all flirt as much as possible as it makes people feel good about themselves. Reminds you that you are a sexual being. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I think everyone would enjoy that aspect of RHP, regardless of whether you joined specifically for that or not, or whether your intentions is to meet people or not. Everyone, and I don't care who you are, wants to feel desired and wanted. 😍

    I have thought about this for quite sometime today, great topic by the way!!!!.....it can first appear a straight forward response as many above have commented but also, as is the real world, it can be sooo varied and complex. I do wonder if a % of peeps are rather 'needy/dysfunctional or inept' at a proper relationship and just here for short term kicks and a band aid to fulfill their own emotions??? We all want to feel wanted and desired many moons ago it might a Friday or Saturday night out now we come here!!! Lol :)))

    We joined the site with the intention of meeting others for fun and for sex. It's been a real revelation to find that there are people outside our partnership who (seem) genuinely to find us attractive. I know that sounds a little daft (it makes sense logically and statistically that there might be others) but having been monogamous from such a relatively young age we had no evidence. It's been a little confronting putting ourselves 'out there' but this site and some of the people in it have given each of us a real boost to our confidence. I'm coming around to the idea of thinking of myself as sexy, desirable, pretty. I can feel it in the way I walk around in public now, the way I make eyecontact and smile at people, the way I am in the bedroom at home.I am sexy. Ok, it's still not easy to say that with confidence yet but I'm working on it (confidence is sexy too, right?)So to answer the question... I guess the feeling of being wanted and desired is part of why we're here. We had the sex at home already. But we're planning to combine the two!!

    Is that unless you have a healthy and happy self image, RHP and sites like it, can ultimately destroy a fragile self esteem. My best advice for those who come here looking to boost their self esteem is go away and do some work on yourself. Know who you are, what you want, and understand that your value as a person is NEVER the reflection you see in someone else's eyes but the one you see when you look in the mirror. - Posted from rhpmobile

    in someone's eyes...the look of desire..is of course a wonderful boost to one's self esteem...the problem is when the desire one feels is not reciprocated,rejection can and often does have an eroding effect on self esteem....particularly if yours is already fragile It is only a very secure person who can deal with this well.So often we fixate on our lacks instead of our positives..if we did more of the later instead of the former we would indeed be more secure in our sense of self...but it takes a degree of honest introspection to get there...and get rid of the negative self talk.Sites like RHP may provide you with the quix fix..lots of attention,even lots of sex...but they may not provide you with a long term solution...only you can do that

    I believe that many who don't go through with meetings chose this path because they fear the rejection they may experience at a real live meeting. When chatting by text, online or even on the phone they can be anything they want to be. They present the person they would like to be, the more confident, sexier, best version of themselves not necessarily the real version. Even if they have been honest they may not feel that they are worthwhile. They may set up meetings and back out time and again because that's easier than facing potential rejection. Rejection is harsh for those who measure their worth on other peoples opinions. Many people rely on other people's opinions to feel sexy, they measure there sexiness by their desirability to others, not realizing that being truly sexy is something that radiates from within and is not dependent on having an audience to reflect it. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Can also be shattering to get past the meet and greet, and the play is all one sided when one of the partners is bi and the other is left wondering WTF. Has happened, but you do learn very quickly to read the body language and conversation at the meet and greet. We think that need to be desired is in all of us.

    if there is a primal wound in childhood,physical,emotional, or sexual trauma caused,by a parent or another .,this can lead to alienation and dysfunction as an adult.It becomes difficult to trust another and to develop sustainable relationships.To get past those filters of perception which reinforce the negative view requires an enormous amount of work.Someone who has not experienced this primal wounding will deal with rejection quite differently to someone who has.It is a bitter cycle,and I defy anyone to say that the opinions of others are totally irrelevent to how we perceive ourselves.If you are told enough times that you are worthless,unattractive,unsexy,stupid etc,then eventually you will believe it.

    Quoting Freya: "If you are told enough times that you are worthless,unattractive,unsexy,stupid etc,then eventually you will believe it." This can work both ways, you gorgeous woman. ;-) @Kale, I get the point made about relying on other people's desire to boost one's own self esteem, but neither should any man or woman should be a rock or an island, to quote Paul Simon. Mutually reciprocated grooviness would be the goal in my mind. Nothing wrong with a boost of ones self esteem, but as you have mentioned, without self belief, it is not going to be a lasting fix, and a heavy fall if one is already feeling fragile. @OP, I might add that sexual validation is in short supply in our society in general, and what I mean by that is unless we look like a billboard advertisement for Coke or any other product, or have the appeal of a God/Goddess, there isn't much available for the common people. Sex is still a source of scandal and gossip, rather than society being cool with it, and encouraging of the common people to seek out personal fulfillment as a sensual/sexual being. I don't think I have explained myself too well, but here is a spiel from Wikipedia on the Sex Positive Movement: "The sex-positive movement is a social movement which promotes and embraces open sexuality with few limits beyond an emphasis on safe sex and the importance of informed consent. Sex positivity is "an attitude towards human sexuality that regards all consensual sexual activities as fundamentally healthy and pleasurable, and encourages sexual pleasure and experimentation. The sex-positive movement is a social and philosophical movement that advocates these attitudes. The sex-positive movement advocates sex education and safer sex as part of its campaign." The movement generally makes no moral distinctions among types of sexual activities, regarding these choices as matters of personal preference." It makes sense to me that validation on this level would decrease a person's need to be validated so much by another. Just a thought. Apologies if this is a bit of a ramble. Too many coffees can scatter a mind's sense of cohesion.

    I think I started out here because I needed to feel desired, I had no idea after a long marriage how to have that need met outside of the relationship. I didn't feel ready for a relationship but needed to have sex with someone other than myself. If we don't need or want to feel desired and to in turn desire another why do we not just masterbate? I mean I can get off quickly and easily all by myself. The need to connect with another through desire is what we all crave. That said I don't 'need' need. I am happy in myself and pretty self sufficient without another's desire, it's just something I crave sometimes. It can be a bit blinding too, another person's desire can really turn your head, despite everything else telling you to run...

    First and foremost ' unless you like the person you are, no one will desire you. Like who you are, smile a lot, have a sense of humour and avoid negative people. It's the positive energy you give off that attracts people of the like. Being a face to face type of person is where it happens for me. Receiving compliments on looks , dress, personality etc, is the very thing that makes us humans take notice of each other . I only ever give a compliment when I feel the time is right. So is being desired good for you... Of course it is.. I don't confuse reality with cyber space , if I took any notice of some here, I'd be a cot case... but fortunately they are the few and don't count.

    Tell me I am beautiful, wise and sexy. Feel me in every move you make, ache for me. Walk in the room, touch me, kiss me and whisper that you need me to give myself to you. That's desire...a burn, an empty space that nobody else in the world can fill. Then again, unless you already feel that desire for yourself like everyone else has said, how can anyone else desire you? I would enjoy this kind of need and desire but it would also feel restrictive, smothering unless that same level of desire and love was reciprocated....then i could just drown in it. As for RHP encounters of this nature, perhaps it happens for some, you never know where lightening is going to strike. It's nice to be found desirable, the depth of that desirability though is also subjective as to what the other person wants from you, is prepared to share with you and or give to you for themselves.

    http://www.hookingupsmart.com/2011/11/09/relationshipstrategies/what-men-need-from-women-no-not-sex/ Don't laugh at the source but I found it interesting : Men don’t fantasize about a handsome prince & a big wedding & a high-status steadfast provider for their children. But they do dream about a woman they will burn with in mutual desire for all eternity. Many men’s deepest need is to feel desired to the extent that they feel desire for the woman they fall in love with. Because men, as a rule, feel sexual desire much more acutely than women, their experience of that need being met is very rare. I was once asked what was the most important thing I looked for in a relationship & I said ‘bottomless desire’…

    I am newly married and having a man show interest in me is definitely nice. Even though (in real life) they can see a wedding ring and still "give it a go" makes me feel great. To be married and in a "girls only" profile i get a lot of men trying their luck with a dismal flirt. But its a nice change to get a guy who actually takes the time to message me. The one message i have kept is after a guy tried his luck even though he knew i was married and i gracefully declined. He then messaged back saying thank you for the reply and told me my husband is a lucky man!- Posted from rhpmobile

    For twelve years I lived with someone who needed me a lot more than they wanted me.Don't get me wrong, there was desire however that desire was driven by the need and that need wasn't for emotional connection and love.So yes, I desire desire... I need that want which comes from a partners eyes, their touch and their words... and no, I don't think a prostitute could give that want, that feel of desire that I am searching for, because it is much more than sex.SG

    But being here can also do the opposite you can flirt and send pics then people say no. Or what if people don't turn up another rejection. So you can start here feeling good about yourself and then loss that self confidence or at least have it knocked about too. So personally I won't say it was a good place to get a boost.

    THE woman or what .? As usual your posts are insightful and you possess that unusual ability most woman seem to lack and that is to get down and find out what makes a man tick..What you had to say in your last post ( not the replys ) was spot on the money. If a man feels the desire before the sex theres a good chance the woman will respond and the sex will be steaming hot. Contrary to what most women think, men equally like to feel the electricity and ( well in my case ) prefer quality over quantity. Sex without desire is just another root. Keep up the intelligent remarks , them last ones almost had me seduced...haha.. btw, from what I see , nuthin wrong with them there boobies..

I'm not having a go, Indy, I'm just curious what you meant exactly. x MeIt's not my quote I'm afraid it was something I was reading, I think what was meaning to be said is quite simple; mutual desire (that bottomless desire thing), we all know that over decades love fades and evolves into a deeper bond of affection and "mateship" (is how my mum puts it she married over 50yrs so I guess she'd know right?)..... When a man desires you I think that "knowing" for him that he is desired equally gives him that immense sense of self-worth and dare I say "love" that we women go on about? Don't shoot me for saying this BUT we women focus on love, we make men dance on a string, perform acts to prove their caring and what do we give in return? "Playing hard to get" because we are culturally pre-disposed to "make THEM chase US" I'm sorry but a man I respect recently said to me, "You are very discerning G, but once you make your mind up you're very EASY" it was a backhanded compliment yes, but if I desire someone, truly desire them why can't I show it? Why is it wrong to be the "Man Hunter" (hate that term) within the boundaries of course? It made me think, men DO only experience physical contact generally through sex. Any other time it's contact sport, shaking someone's hand or being hugged by their kids (if they have them) and kissed by thier mummy's.... Why wouldn't they CRAVE physical touch, the softness of a woman's companionship, friendship, their heated DESIRE for them. They also weant to feel wanted, desired, sexy, hot, gorgoues, beautiful all that shit we just expect to be given by them to us not US GIVING TO THEM. I guess I'm thinking it's not love that needs to be kept ignited in a relationship, it's that burning desire to "have" the person you're are with above all others. Meeks I am not talking monogamy if you read this, as the lovely MadonTara, Cheeky's, Paradisepair and other couples like yourselves have shown. It's simply maintaining that awareness that HE NEEDS to be touched and held as much as YOU do. To have that bond and mutual attraction, lust, desire reaffirmed. I dunno, I'm not that smart......but if I can look at the man I've chosen to be with as my primary partner in 20-30yrs time and he looks at me the same way and still feel that burning desire and pride in each other than I think that would be "bottomless desire". Quoting 'Unrushed1'Any chance of making it a double wedding? I hear you and Indy make a great team ;-) Unrushed, I'd gladly walk on the opposite side of you to Kale or at the very least, tuck you both in and kiss you goodnight. But I won't ever marry again, why ruin something perfect with a piece of paper that says "I own you" (before anyone gets in an uporoar about that, I do think marriage is a beautiful thing; it's just not my thing. I did it and sucked at it)

    Indi, you keep posting some of the smartest stuff I have read for one, whether it be something you have read or not, it is the interpretations that continually amazes us, well it is common that many share the same opinion. As you know we, well I more so read all these books you write and love them. And thank you once again, don't need to say much here as you have covered it pretty well. Just feeling desired can make the difference to having a shitty day or a fantastic day. It is a wide spectrum, so it all boils down to what end of the spectrum should the habit form. Indi on a fantastic safari, we send our best wishes. Mado Tara xx

I am lucky I am not afraid in showing love desire lust or passion. I am open to it all, yes sometimes its not what you dreamed of with this particular male...still you gave something wonderful. And thats what counts to me......I dont ant a root I want a short"love" each time I meet a lovely male being. To touch his body his mind his soul....everything is beautiful. I am here to give and receive.....love desire lust and passion. And when I ask for it I get it.

    Jay_Me thanks and I have looked up that Dr. Mrs Me, I guess in final answer to your question: Yes I think the physical connection for a man is as important for them as the emotional one is for a woman. That men fall in love with us because our desire for them mirrors their own for us. it's not necessarily the sole reason but it's definately up there. Men can't always feel they are loved, wanted and still desirable without their woman physically asking/expressing to him that she wants him to give of himself to her as a MAN, not husband, father, provider but as the Man you first lay with and thought you'd died gone to Heaven. I mean how many wives "not of this place" actually grab their husbands on a regular basis and drag him off to the bedroom laughing and giggling because she just wants to ravish his body after 20+yrs of marriage? Or tear one off at the kitchen sink while the kids are in the backyard playing or go down to the toolshed and ride him on the ride-on? The possibilities are endless, I also think these men prefer to be made love to deeply, intimately, passionately and completely as much as we do. Or maybe I'm just so damn frustrated I'm developing my own kind of lover's nuts. As for being desired by others OP on a site like this....it's nice to know others find you desirable, sexy, hawt, pretty, funny, whatever BUT the attention of the horde has absolutely nothing on the attention from that ONE or for some FEW other(s) that truly touch the very essence of your being. Without sounding narcissistic attention and desire is not something I've lacked in my life, the motivation behind those interested however has not always been Safe, Sane or Consentual.

    When I was younger ego did play a part. Now my desire is more that need to feel close,more so as I am not in love or being loved.

    I was in a undesirable relationship for 10+ years and became undesirable until I met my husband then relised how desirable I could be. It was lIke being reborn. I was at a pub recently a man approached me and said "I know you married but you are the sexist and best dressed women here, I love your style" your husband is one lucky man"...and walked off. That was hot and was on a cloud all evening. A true compliment with not wanting anything in return. So yes I think we all desire to be desired. With swinging I find there is a line we need to be attracted to the person/s but is it desire? - Posted from rhpmobile

    have a need to be desired,and a need to be shown by the other that we are.Why do men sometimes not understand this?....We need to be kissed,touched,told that we are desired...if you don't do this, we will assume disinterest on your part.

    Everyone has their own unique way of validation, some are more internal than others, but we all need to have SOME form of external validation to feel desired, sexy, and overall appreciated for the person who we are in this very minute/second. The heart will always crave that personal soft touch from another human. It's something very small that means a lot. - Posted from rhpmobile

    Quoting 'I_N_D_A_G_I_N_E' Jay_Me thanks and I have looked up that Dr. Mrs Me, I guess in final answer to your question: Yes I think the physical connection for a man is as important for them as the emotional one is for a woman. That men fall in love with us because our desire for them mirrors their own for us. it's not necessarily the sole reason but it's definately up there. Men can't always feel they are loved, wanted and still desirable without their woman physically asking/expressing to him that she wants him to give of himself to her as a MAN, not husband, father, provider but as the Man you first lay with and thought you'd died gone to Heaven.

I think you're right (that seems like such an inadequate response to your eloquence). Why should he like any less to be touched, held, caressed or squeezed than I do? I love it when he walks past me and trails his fingers over my shoulders or back, it's a quiet little reminder that he loves me and wants me. I will be sure to reciprocate as often as I can. I love my husband dearly. Had a giggle at the thought of riding him on the ride on... hmmmm, perhaps we need to move to the country and get a bigger yard! As for how many of the 'other' wives have rampant, passionate, spontaneous, interludes, I have no idea, but it could make for an interesting survey. Perhaps I need to get all my non-RHP girlsfriends really drunk and then ask some important questions. x Me

    But if you're going to conduct this survey among your girlfriends you'll need a few bottles of "Fallen Angel" white wine. My girlfriend Princess fed it to me when we first met.....and effectively found out EVERYTHING she needed to know.....That evil brew is better than truth serum!!! I shit you not. ~ Indy. PS wish you could be in Sydney on the 18th. xx - Posted from rhpmobile

    Indy - Hmmm... I'll have to keep my eyes open for that one. Seems like a very apt name considering the intended use! Wish I could be in Sydney on the 18th too, seriously would love to meet so many of those going. xx Me
