I personally find myself attracted to women who are "cute" rather than "hot". So in the case of "cute", the quiet girl who for some reason I feel attracted too, I'm not necessarily there to taint or corrupt it, but more like keep it close to me...like a cuddly little kitten, a small reminder that not everything in this world is completely at a loss for hope, as for sex and such, I sure as hell wouldn't mind, but its her call, not mine.
For those who are "hot", by that I mean those who have a large amount of sex appeal are those that I simply want to have sex with, without any relationship whatsoever....mean, I know, but that's just one of the things about me being a guy.
So in short, I'll go with preserve.
