men who love women and the women who let them

julian assange, lover of gossip, slander, and top level secrets- is also a lover of women. it seems that on each leg of his tours, he finds a different willing woman (or several) and, um, partakes of her wares. when asked about his notoriously slutty behaviour, he responded that he just loves women. apparently, the women just love to be loved...

a famous rabbi gave a speech once about different types of love. one type stuck in my mind, and he referred to it as "ice cream love". i love how you make me feel. i love what you can do for me. i love how you meet my needs and gratify me. so i devour you. i erase you from the face of the earth because i love you so much. wow. not exactly every little girl's dream...

so, clearly julian assange has ice cream love for these women. the question is what the women get out of the exchange. HE gets to have his way, run his agenda, meet his needs, indulge in his animal side (repeatedly) etc etc etc. but unless he is exceptionally good in bed (why do i doubt that???), i am genuinely puzzled as to what they are getting. i guess it's like women who sleep with rock stars or movie stars or rappers. are they getting some kind of referred glory just by being in proximity to them? does their fame rub off if you rub them in the right spot? is it the thrill of chasing someone who is trying to be caught? i seriously don't get it. bragging rights? oooh- i slept with this really slutty guy who sleeps with everyone- go, me!

so julian assange loves women. but what exactly is it that these women love? if you have a clue, i'd love to hear your take on it.
