I always make a point of reading each of your substack posts. I am happy to see someone addressing the topic of men's dating advice. Many such articles aimed at men are not very good, many of them written by women. I think you do a good job of hitting the mark with your advice.

Anyway, I always find it interesting when I'm reading an article about the 5 love languages and they never specifically call out where sex falls. I don't want to pick on you, but it just occurred to me that I had never seen it listed in any of the many stories I have seen about it. I had to Google it. I wasn't sure if it was a physical touch or an act of service. It's not a big deal, it's just a curiosity that one of the most foundational aspects of a relationship would not be included in so many articles and stories.

Thanks for the feedback and your support!

Now that I think of it, sex provides the opportunity to express multiple love languages:

* quality time

* touch

* acts of service

* words of affirmation

Looking at it from that perspective, I wonder if there’s anything else about sex that would qualify it as a love language in its own right?

An interesting question to ponder. Thanks for raising it!
