Maybe!: It obviously has for you. It is all psychological and if it works for you so be it. Now let's hope that your pursuit of a relationship with a woman you meet will not be just to satisfy your sexual needs but something more substantial and long lasting than that. Cherchez les femmes! Good luck!
