I did say it was in MY experience. It was not meant as a generalisation! Sorry.

The only NEED is for procreation ...
THe point is do Women need Men in any other way, in the same vein, do men need Women in any other way. If so how and why ?

I think that is ridicuously simplistic. The vast majority of people in this world are heterosexual. I don't think this is purely for precreational reasons but because we need the complimently characteristics of the other sex. As bexy says "women need hugs"....You could also say that men need the emtional support of women or whatever....
Simply we NEED each other.
I don't know how homosexuals fit into this though. I can't assimilate their thinking. Maybe dellwear can comment? I find it intriguing though how there seems to be a subcatagory of homosexual. The masculine homosexual and a feminine homosexual. (The poofy mincers and the testosterone hirsute explosion types if you like). And of course the ones that appear hetrosexual that completly surprise you....

nemmy was actually playing devils advocate...he was suggesting a reason to see what others thought...
procreation is obvisouly a basic reason, but you are right, thereis the emotional support (which i think i mentioned before) and also we seem to be programmed to need someone of the other sex in our lives...why i dont know
