Yes, that much is certain. That’s an all too common psychology on Earth as well.

Gynecopiper?
I think that applies to him. Or are you unsure what that means?

Does anybody, DT, you probably do, know just how many women Stan did bed??
It was four at my last count, but there are episodes I have missed.

It’s been my experience that men who have been rejected by women repeatedly through their lives tend to follow 1 of 2 paths. They shut down their libido and just totally absorb theselves in other interests (this is very rare). And the other path usually ends with the man in question becoming obsessed with porn, videos of women, and getting it from anyone ,anywhere they can , instead of focusing on respecting women and loving them because being loved by a woman actually TAKES a woman, but the CAN experience sexual pleasure without one.
So you’re saying maybe Lyekka’s rejection (coupled with rejection by a few other girls in his youth) caused Stan to be this way? I thought that could be it, bad experiences with the opposite sex. In the flashback he was very shy and polite, quite unlike his usual approach when it comes to women.

Tese men tend to think with only one brain…
I have an interesting if irrelevent addition to this analogy. Insects of the order Mantidae each have two brains, one in their head wired to their sense organs, the other in their abdomen wired to their sex organs. These brains can vie for dominance over the body. Some humans are like mantids in this respect.

…because they have been so rejected by so many women for so long that women become this incredible “Force” an amazing high they can never touch except in their fantasies. They can’t help it, it’s all they know.
I suppose there could be people like Stan (or worse) in real life.

I think the opposite of Stan would be Kai: he is brave and virtuous and doesn’t want sex but the women are all over him.
