I do not know about "
somewhere". Anything is clearly possible "
somewhere".
I do not see how men would be unemotional - let us look at the Western canon, so that we can both agree, and agree without reservation, that we should look in the same place and not "
somewhere".
1) "light of my life, fire of my loins" (as a mention in passing, the best erotic quote in the English language, in my subjective opinion and in my limited knowledge of the literature in this language)
2) "Tired with all these, from these would I be gone,
Save that, to die, I leave my love alone."
3) "Blest be the day, and blest the month, the year,
The spring, the hour, the very moment blest,
The lovely scene, the spot, where first oppress'd
I sunk, of two bright eyes the prisoner:
And blest the first soft pang, to me most dear,
Which thrill'd my heart, when Love became its guest;
And blest the bow, the shafts which pierced my breast,
And even the wounds, which bosom'd thence I bear.
Blest too the strains which, pour'd through glade and grove,
Have made the woodlands echo with her name;
The sighs, the tears, the languishment, the love:
And blest those sonnets, sources of my fame;
And blest that thought—Oh! never to remove!
Which turns to her alone, from her alone which came."
4) And so on and so forth - as emotional as it gets.
