No one wants to fuck someone only interested in themselves. Even when chances of getting off are few and far between, acting like a selfish prick doesn’t pay off. Why? Ask Game Theory. Hitting the bigtime in the 1940s when genius geek John von Neumann worked out the maths proof, the idea of Game Theory has been around since the Ancient Greeks. But it was Thomas Hobbes in the 17th century who set the scene when he very clearly showed that everything would go to shit if we only thought about ourselves, or in his words, life would be “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.” Thinking and giving a shit about others may seem like hard work, but the alternative is a lot fucking worse.
The Prisoner’s Dilemma is the usual way to explain Game Theory, which can be recast in the bedroom using two different attitudes; trying to get your partner off or only thinking about yourself. The ultimate experience is the double whammy of being a selfish prick and your partner trying to get you off. But this sucks for them and you’ll be lucky to get a second chance. If you are both selfish, then even if both get off, sex will get pretty boring pretty quick. So even if the result is not getting off themselves, both focusing on getting their partner to cum works best long-term, mainly because it means regular great fucking. And every now and then - maybe on a cheeky birthday – one of you could be the sole focus and indulged to the next level.
