I just put the 'sizzle' down to both sexes acting as they were designed to, biologically speaking, and we had unlocked long-dormant passions. The physical strength difference persists for a reason that now seems defunct in society. We have long ignored a part of ourselves; we need to conquer, and be conquered. My girlfriend and I simply behaved as our ancestors did from instinct thousands of years ago before us.

Similarly, although I get a rush of endorphins when I'm weight-training, I get an entirely different flavour when I'm hitting the heavy bag; a quiet, inner euphoria. I think I know why some men seem prone to violence; in fact, I think they're addicted to the particular kind of rush whose catalyst modern society has made obsolete.

I wonder what other parts of our psyches remain unexplored, even unsuspected.

Sorry if anyone thinks this all sounds a little 'Tyler Durdenesque'!
