[honest, kind of pained. old hurts, old mistakes--]
But the way I think about it... expecting one person to fulfill every need or want or desire is... probably not realistic? Some people aren't looking for deep connections. [touches at Mars's neck a bit.] Just skin. They'd likely have more than a few partners to satisfy that.
Some people... need the deeper connections. So fewer partners over all, because... that's a lot to put on the line.
And some people need a bit of both in different amounts, depending on the situation. Especially on the person they're with.
Not really sure how good that way of thinking is, but...
[it's how he sees it.]
Anyway... long story of many trials and errors later: setting boundaries at the start is... probably the most important. Those can always adjust over time, but starting out, it's very easy to hurt people by accident.
