I'd like to experience that just once.

I doubt that I ever will.

So what on being aggressive.

Default I just wanted to encourage women to.....

feel free to insist on using sex on me until I clamor for a relationship and be honest when they claim it is something girl friends should always be good for in modern times, especially when they find us in between girlfriends.

The women had to sit there until chosen by some man.

Picture the reverse in todays world. All men have to assemble in a large facility and the women get to select which one they 'have' -... how long would some men have to wait and which women would pick which man?
Search YouTube for "History of the World Part 1: Selecting Escorts."

Just don't do it at work.

I have approached me to varying results. Most of the time though the guys aren't interested. Often they have a girlfriend/wife/boyfriend, other times are not looking for a relationship. A few times they just were not interested. It has made me very scared of approaching a man because of rejection. I am getting up the nerve to ask this shy guy out because I suspect he won't ask me because he is afraid.

Just go for it.

Maybe the guy, like you said, is too afraid to do it.

Sometimes a little help can be good.
