Not to generalize men but this stuff does happen and getting into a physical relationship is a lot more risky for a woman, not including the risk of STDs.

This is the other problem; in a world full of love defined largely by western standards, there is little room for other ways of thinking.

In my opinion, physical relations are fine as long as mutual and undistorted consent is present, since any biological complications can be managed before they occur.

However, I think you have a lot of thinking to do if you're really that afraid of desertion, or you think it's common.

It isn't, and if you really love someone enough to engage in such behavior, you should do it; it's a part of being a sentient biological entity, and there's nothing wrong with partaking in it for the purpose of pleasure; humans have been doing that for hundreds of centuries, and nothing wrong has come of it.

Furthermore, at the risk of offending you, I should point out that such...paranoia of desertion or other problems are signs of underlying psychological issues......
