Object of Desire, or Just an Object?

So what is the difference in being an object for sex and being an object for desire? I didnt know what to write, or who I was going to direct this towards...and I had a few unorganized thoughts. It was just something that popped into my head the other day. I think there is a fine line for a woman feeling like an object for sex and object for desire. Thing is that men have the best intentions, myself included, but don't understand the difference. Who knew that an object of desire wasnt for sex..??? What madness is this? So here is an explanation. Women are very emotional and their self-esteem is not always rock solid. WHile she may not think that she is any less beautiful, she may need to hear it, she may want to hear that she is still sexy, but not have sex. She may want to know you desire her...but not by propositioning her in between the sheets, but by
doing something sweet, saying something kind, and holding her without sex. Let her know that I desire every aspect of you, not just in a way that fulfills me. Any thoughts, observations, disagreements?
