One could argue it's true in every context . . .
However, your quote presuposes they have sufficient self-reflection and awareness to pretend to aspire to their ideal, either in choice of ladies, actions, knowledge of their innermost desires . . . and there are likely a few such people.
Unfortunately . . . most of the guys are just trying to get their rocks off for $. I think you'll find your demarcation lies amongst those trying for an experience versus a 30 minute 'bust-a-nut.'
Having now indulged my philosophical bent for the year, I think I'm going to go cudgel my brain into shutting back down.
