sex as an information gathering tool

Well, sex
is very informative - hard to deny
that! Often
the best way
to find out what people are like
in bed, or
what people want
in bed is: use sex. Sex

is almost like an opinion poll, in that
sense. A poll whose main question is: "Hey!
How do you like the sex?
Is it working for you?"
- only you have to
be attentive to nonverbal
cues, too. The types of noises

people make. Also the words they say,
and how they say them - for instance,
"HEY, WATCH IT!" may not be just
"dirty talk," it probably means

you have to take a second there
and evaluate what it was you just did. Because
it caused a stir in the wrong way, most likely.

Not to say you need to stop the whole works!
Bring it to a screeching halt, no, that's
even worse - probably

the last thing you want to do. But just,
you know, watch it. Maybe go back to
what you were doing just prior
to the outburst.

That seemed to be getting a good reaction.

But the point is, sex
is very informative. Often
after having sex, you find

you have learned a lot about the person
you just had sex with. For example,
if he or she is an asshole, sometimes
that comes to light afterwards
rather than before? But the reverse may be
also true:

sometimes in the wake of having sex,
you're like "This person's a peach!"
And you just discovered it! Or at least,

you discovered it to an even greater degree.
It became
more confirmed,
more apparent. You were able

to use sex as an information-gathering tool.

Just keep in mind. This
isn't the main point of sex. It can't be.
Yes: SEX IS INFORMATIVE, but you can't just
be using sex to get information about people,
about what they're like during and after sex.
You do get that information, true! But it

would be a sick sort of ulterior motive

to have sex with somebody for. If getting that
information is the reason you're having the sex?
That's like using sex to surveil someone, yo. You can't

just be the Big Brother of sex,
having sex as if to say: "hey,
I'm learning about you right now.
Using sex."

What are you running, some kind of
1-man sexual dystopia? No, thanks!

Yeah: sex
is informative,
but that can't be the main point
of it for you, or else
you're missing out on the real lesson.
Probably. Okay,

maybe it depends on the person
