True Purpose of Relationship?

“The purpose of all long-term relationships is to train the other to maximize our pleasure. Naturally, they can do the same!” – Ryan Orrock

Provocative? Not really. We relate for mutual benefit. To meet each other’s needs.

The only question is whether our mutual training is focused or diffuse, effective or unsuccessful.

What other reason would you have for connecting deeply to someone except to have them meet your needs–with the hope and desire that they do so more successfully with every passing day/week/month/year?

Of course that’s what you want.

So why not admit it?

A friend of mine was speaking to a group of ’empowered’ women and declared he was ‘trainable’. They clapped and hollered their approval.

Then he asked them how trainable they were.

Silence!

Why is it that we sometimes feel other people should be devoted to figuring out how to make us happy and meet our needs and yet we don’t show the same level of dedication we expect from them?

“Everyone who has amazing success with romance (or any other interaction!) achieved it by becoming a deep student of what their interaction partner wanted.” – R.O.

I actually said this at the beginning of my newest erotic connection. “The purpose of our relating is for me to train you and you to train me for more pleasure.” She was probably surprised, but, to her credit, she went for it!

We dedicated time to ‘training’ each other for our own pleasure in deep and powerful ways, and the results have been astounding. More details in time!
