This is where punting can get like dating in my experience of many failed attempts over the years. A theologian, James P. Carse, wrote a book called
Finite and Infinite Games.In it he says there are two types of social games that can be disinguished, "finite" games with winners and losers, and "infinite" games which are more open ended and about continuing the play for its own sake. He says sexual play in a "finite" game takes the form of sexual contest:
What one wants in the sexual contest is not just to have defeated the other, but to have the defeated other.
Sexuality is the only finite game in which the winner's prize is the defeated opponent. Sexual titles, like all other titles, have appropriately conspicuous emblems. However, only in sexuality do persons themselves become property. In slavery or wage labour what we possess is not the persons of the slaves or the workers, but the products of their labours. In this case, to use Marx's phrase, persons are abstracted from their labour.But in sexuality persons are abstracted from themselves. The seduced opponent is so displayed as to draw public attention to the seducer's triumph. In the complex plotting of sexual encounter it is by no means uncommon for the partners to have played a double game in which each is winner and loser, and each is an emblem for the other's seductive power.
A society shows its mastery in the management of sexuality not when it sets out unambiguous standards for sexual behavior or prescribed attitudes towards sexual feelings, but when it institutionalizes the emblematic display of sexual conquest. (pages 95-6)
