very simple. i no longer love/never have loved humans in a romantic/sexual way. i love dogs in a romantic/sexual way. comes from being let down too many times as a kid. dogs have never betrayed me. the freedom you feel when you don't have to rely on another insanely complex being who takes up all of your time is amazing. just me and my girl. i love her unconditionally, give her food and attention, take great care of her, and occasionally pleasure her when she needs it. she loves me back, takes care of my emotional and sexual needs, and will never betray me for another person. enough said. although the perfect life is still a few years out here.
