The vast majority of people do not want to have sex with the vast majority of other people and most places prohibit fucking in them.
OK, u just took it verbatim. You are able to fuck anyone anywhere. They might not mirror that desire to do so and the place might not be made for it. But you COULD.
I think you and I live very, very different lives that you would think that way.
Why? The pure technical ability to do so is there. Doesn't mean you should or would. Besides that wasn't even remotely my initial point.
You missed out could. That's why we are not the same.
OK, if you are technically unable to do the act. Which now is lightyears away from my point 😁
You're deliberately misinterpreting me and insulting me at the same time. There's no need for that.
You said
And that's simply not true for most of us.
You characterised love and affection as hard to find, but I get love of various sorts readily from my wife, children and other family, and a great deal of affection from friends and some colleagues. You characterised sex as easy to find, stating I could get it anywhere and any time with anyone, and you argued with people who disagree, but the truth is that I can get sex only in my bedroom, only with my wife, only at night, and only when she is in the mood for it, and anything else is pure fiction, for me. Maybe not for you, but definitely for me.
That fact that you even think to assert that love and affection are hard to find and sex is easy to find is why we live very, very, very different lives. I'm not asking to swap, but we are NOT the same.
Maybe you mean something different than you're saying, but of you want to get your point across to us ordinary folk for whom a sex life as busy as our libido was a teenage fantasy that never turned up, you'd better start rephrasing and explaining rather than just claiming "technical" truth.
It's also "technically" true that you can get affection anywhere. Yesterday I gave a homeless guy a lift from his begging pitch outside the bus station to his tent and bought him and his girlfriend a pizza hut on the way, and he cried and hugged me. Today I met up with a bunch of friends and got about four hugs, which is totally normal for that bunch. Most people wouldn't call it love, but it's heaps of affection.
We live very different lives for you to claim what you claim.
I'm also troubled that you only said that you can't enforce love and affection. Enforcing sex is called rape. I'm guessing that you didn't mean that, but do you not see that you need to back down from some of the words and phrases that you used instead of defending them, and explain what you meant in a less provocative way?
I guess you deliberately want to misunderstand me. And I don't even get why.
Love is something rare, where two souls need find each other.
Sex, I could go to the next brothel and have it 10 times a day. Or go on tinder and let golddiggers have it. If you're a decently attractive woman, you'll get it for free on tinder in 5 minutes. Or in the next bar or wherever. I can also walk around asking anyone until I'm lucky.
So that's a simple COULD. Love you cannot simply get.
Maybe my point was badly phrased, I dunno. But insulting you surely wasn't my goal.
