“Sex For Men”

Why is sex so important to me?
Is it the sex, or is it the intimacy,
I feel I am no different than any other guy,
Sex is important and I just don’t know why,

I need to be one with the woman I am with,
Yet I wonder, is it a need or is it a myth,
The passion I feel when I am held tight,
Or the contentment I have the rest of the night,

And the emptiness felt when I go without,
Those nights are long I have no doubt,
Or the hurt I feel when she shuts me down,
Am I not attractive to her, why keep me around,

I want to express my love the way lovers do,
But night after night I’m pushed away from you,
So I lay awake thinking, “is there another”,
Or am I just not good enough to be your lover,

Why is she with me if she does not want me?
And then gets mad because I want intimacy,
“All you think about is sex” she’d say,
But men are physical; we’re just that way,

It is not the sex that I require,
But to feel that I’m loved is what I desire,
That heated moment of passion I need,
An expression of love is not just for greed,

So why can’t she see that I need that touch,
The physical part is what men need so much,
A hug, a kiss, a caress or two,
A moment to say  “I Love You”,

Words just don’t cut it for a man,
I need the physical touch of your hand,
A little sex can make my day,
It’s the way I am, I’m just that way!
