@queenmagic1982 It happens all the time. Some want sex without love but others may want love without sex.

@melissa13699 He's bitter that the gal he loves just wants to have sex, and he still misses her when she goes with another guy, even though his goal was not to have sex with her.

@BoyGenteel well said, Boy. I am so glad to know that I have finally found a relationship void of conflating love with sex. They came separate, with the love first.

@BoyGenteel i think you have analyzed this song exactly..good comments indeed
-
Anytime any indie band thinks they are touching base on a new topic....think again..the smiths have already touched it with two fingers and a pinky.
One of the many....many great songs from their catalog....enjoy, appreciate...etc.

i love morrissey, have all his albums, all the smiths albums, but what does insufficient "womanhood" have to do with male impotence/inability to perform? i hope that morrissey is being ironic or self-deprecating. if not, as a pretty devoted female fan, this lets me down.

One of the best songs ever written about asexuality. Notice that he desires the woman romantically, but can't go along with her sexual advances, because his "Native Son" will not rise for anyone. But the song is clearly about asexuality and not homosexuality, because he DOES desire her as a romantic partner, as evinced by his envy at the man "who takes her hand."
Way too many people conflate love with sex. They seem to accept sex without romantic love. Well, this is just the opposite of that.

@BoyGenteel If he desires the woman, then he is not asexual. It's not that he doesn't want to be involved intimately with her, but that he is a passive male who doesn't know how to be assertive towards the woman.
He feels uncomfortable with the woman's playful advances, but is too insecure to escalate the relationship to a romantic level--so he's in a quandary of his own making.
When the woman finds another lover, he just becomes resentful and goes off with his tail between his legs.
