The person with whom you have sex should reflect your values. If you have sex with a mindless slut, then this reflects your mental state.
If nobility, courage, and integrity mean something to you, then a person who has these values will be attractive to you.
Imagine a woman who overcomes every obstacle, who looks at every fresh challenge as an adventure, who never gives up and never gives in. Isn’t she WAY more attractive than a giggling vacuum who ‘just loves your new car and hot clothes’? Yep.

You teach them Hunter!
…Somebody stop me, I’m loving this thread !!! : )
Ah, he is more or less quoting Rand, forgetting that she was a woman.
What Ayn Rand cries for in every page of “Atlas Shrugged” is a dominant, intelligent, aggressive Alpha Male, and her heroine is willing to leave her partner at a moments notice if someone more dominant and competent comes along, like a bitch in heat.
In other words she shamelessly follows her genetic programming.
If I, being a man, being programmed differently, shamelessly follow mine, I am insecure, inmature, I do not live up to her “rational” ideas and expectations…
Yeah, right…
Plus, if nobility, courage and integrity where a necessity for the human mating process we hardly would have hit the 6 billion mark…[/quote]
All that reading and you missed her point entirely: you cannot disconnect the values of your mind from your body. Your emotions are a reflection of your values. The heroine in the novel finally finds her ideal man, the summation of all that she values, and she goes to him. I’d not call such a woman a ‘bitch in heat’.
There is, of course, much more to the book than her discussion of love.
The values Ms. Rand expresses have also been my values for as long as I remember. She is the first person I’ve read who wrote what I’ve always thought, and for that I’m deeply indebted to her.
