A man like that is someone to go out with – once – twice – three times when the devil is in you. But live with? Have a child by?
– Tennessee Williams
A Streetcar Named Desire, Scene 4. Stanley is a man to have a sexual fling with, but not to live and have children with, Blanche tells Stella. Blanche understands a woman’s need to satisfy sexual desires, but doesn’t believe that Stanley is marriage material.
