And what's going on with gender in the Lilah/Wesley thing is ridiculously compelling. Because Wesley? Is neither feminized nor delicate (CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW, FANDOM?), but he's the one with the arguably inappropriate emotional attachment (not that I think Lilah isn't involved too, I think she clearly is, but she can put it back in the box when her objectives need her too; Wesley can't), the one who keeps coming back for more because it may not be what he wants but he's convinced himself it's enough, and the one that's using the person he's sleeping with as another subject on which to pride himself on his endurance.
Everything Wesley gets is what he believes he deserves, and this is one more thing that falls in that category. Or -- I should say, it's not a sense of "you get what you deserve," but more a sense of "you deserve what gets YOU."
