Cliche or for real: guys only want one thing?

My husband moved out two years ago after I found he'd maxed out his credit cards and started in on mine at a strip club known for prostitution (to the tune of $55,000 in 3-4 months). We're divorcing now since he doesn't want to bother to try to fix "us".

Several of my male friends have since been hitting on me -- politely, but making it quite clear that they find me attractive and they would love to get in the sack with me. I'm not taking anyone up on it, but heaing this is kinda nice to my bruised ego -- but now I wonder if it really is true that this is all guys want. I don't want to be just used for sex, and I don't want to use sex to get companionship and affection (or, like the women my estranged spouse visits, for money). Please reassure me there's more to (at least some!) men than this!

Update:

Don't get me wrong: sex is good! I just don't want it to be empty/superficial, or use or be used.

    No way. I mean sex is nice but it is always nicer in love. And to top it off there are plenty of guys who want to fall in love and just be in a relationship. I want to be in a relationship and quite frankly I don't particularly care about sex right now. Not to say that it isn't on my mind. But if I could meet a nice girl I wouldn't even care until the time is right.
