Lysistrata Post #7: What Do The Men Really Love?
Again we know that the men believe that the "hell" with women is not as bad as the "hell" without them. (Can never forget the fact they caved in one day, weak minded fools.) However, the a very important question presents itself, "Do the men really love the women, or just the pleasure they provide?" I completely believe they only loved the women because of the sex they provided. In the beginning we already saw that the men viewed the women as objects or property. The men also overlooked every other aspect the women were responsible. They were not enthusiastic at all that their house would be untended to and their children neglected. Kinesais was very dehumanizing to his child when he said please take "it" (referring to his kid) to the house. Another play should be made to illustrate how the women would fight back to gain their respect and not just to end a war.

well this depends on who you are talking to. some men (maybe pimps. lol) way love what women can give them (sex that is). others may see women as life long partners
Its hard to tell whether or not the men were just suffering from the effects of the boycott, or whether they truly only care about sex. I would tend to agree with your theory though.
I think that this is definitely true that the men care more about the sex, however if you think about it, that's how things were back then. Men had multiple partners, and poor relationships with them other than the purely sexual.
