How important do you consider sex?

[theevilsanta]

Sex is everything. Give me a break. Sex is, and always has been, everything. At least when it comes to human interactions.

Only to those that can get it. The rest live in pained denial.

Hence it's still everything, even if you're not having it.

Simple question: why?

A conquest, thats about it :3

 

[LightspeedJack]

All the people saying "I'm Asexual". Stop liyng. We all have a sex drive and it's nothing to be ashamed of. As for the importance of sex? I've never been laid but if it ever happens, I'll let you know.

I'm 15 and my girlfriend will be in a few days, that is a little young and really, I do not want any until I'm in a long, very committed relationship and am at least eighteen.

So for me it is not important at this point or any point in the near future. Besides, there are other ways of showing affection that don't require protection.

Yes, the rest of us call that 'friends'

Yeah, 'cause friends make out.

No, We are just responsible, have morals and don't need to go the full... go to be happy together. At this age it would be worrying if we did.

Here's a thought (and YES, I know this can/will NEVER happen):
Let's stop having sex for the sake of reproduction. Let humankind die out.
In general we're not a likable spiecies for the planet. We wage wars, pollute, kill, maim, torture and do some other stuff that we really shouldn't be doing

So let's stop reproducing. Doesn't have to be a bad time. There's nobody that will be hurt by this, wo leave a lot of shit behind, but the planet will heal
And we get to live in extreme luxury. We can spend every natural resource because noone else will need it.

I agree. Humans deserve to be wiped from the planet. Don't get me wrong, i like people, but from an objective point of view our race sucks.

Well, my response to the poster meant that even people that weren't having sex are concerned with it, hence, it's everything. I'm being overly dramatic though. Old widows and widowers usually don't worry too much about sex (but they do often have a large family of children and grandchildren that they are very concerned with, the results of sex). Also lots of people totally sequester themselves from sex for various reasons and end up not really thinking about it. Also people incapable of sex can ignore it usually.

From what I've experienced, read, and watched though, sex is more important than anything else. I'm not saying it's important to be having it. I'm saying all media (books, tv, movies, music, internet) can be better understood through an understanding of sex. More than any other concept. Because humans successfully evolved through staying alive, raising our kids, and sex, we as humans (and other sexual animals) are very, very concerned with it. Especially when things like living until tomorrow are pretty much covered.

It's essential in every thing we do. From advertising, to design, to everything. Status symbols are about sex, earning money is about better sex, everything. It is the ultimate gratification, built in by nature

I don't buy these "non sexual" people. If you are young, it's because you haven't matured yet, and if you are older, it's bullshit, generally spun by someone who has given up on it, rather than feels nothing for it

From an objective point of view, the Earth crashing into the sun makes no difference to the universe. Neither does the destruction of all life in the universe. It's just atoms arranged in different ways. Why are you so concerned with forms of life that aren't even sentient (I'm assuming)? Why is the only sentient form of life on Earth (arguably) so much worse than non-sentient forms of life?

Ok. I agree up until some point. But By "sex is everything" you mean everything to humans in a relationship with other humans.

But for the single human being (in this example: me) There is more, WAY more than sex. Yes, I think about sex, I'm even curious to learn what it actually is. But I can easily live without it. I get my joy from various other things in my life. Friendships, hanging out with friend, riding my motorcylce, photography, school/work.
So in a sense: to me sex is nothing. BECAUSE I'm not having it. I don't miss it. There are more things I wish I could have done. But I wasn't able to. Sucks, but I've set it aside and I've moved on.

In my head this makes sense, but I'm not sure I've written it properly

 

[silasbufu]

Sex is awesome.
Anyone who says otherwise has never had it.

This is the type of post that can solve any useless sex thread.
Probably 90% of the people here who are bashing sex are virgins or they're doing it completely wrong.
Good man

well considering its the primary way to reproduce now adays i'd say pretty important personally...its got a lot of baggage with it so idk

lol, "now days"

I remember back when I was a kid, all it required was a mommy and a daddy to love each other very much.

In my day, babies grew in cabbage patches. Never stopped me eating cabbage, oddly.

 

[Mr Montmorency]

At this point, I could really care less.

No, you couldn't care less.

I want sex and don't want sex at the same time. I'm wired to want it, but I don't want it because it's needless stress I could do without. I identify as asexual as a result. In other words, I've given up.

Hmmm, good point. I guess by "everything" I mean that sex infiltrates almost everything. I don't mean the physical act or the potential of the physical act. I mean the feminine and masculine genders color human relationships and communication (ie relationship) in all forms. If you and your friend are driving a neutral car to a location, who drives? Who walks first through a door? Are you someone that can walk up to someone and start a conversation? Who plays Mario? Sex is a big part of that. Ask any anthropologist.

(I'm not saying masculine is dominant and feminine is submissive by any means. Humans are more similar to wolves than lions. Lions have a dominant alpha male that gets all the females. Wolves mate for life and the alpha male and alpha female in a pack get together, beta couples form, and so on.)

Tricky question in some ways. To be honest, it's a good indicator of where you're at in a relationship. If the sex is exciting, thrilling, passionnate, then chances are you're doing pretty well. If the sex has become routine, chances are you need a change of air. Or even a change of position.

 

[Julianking93]

From personal experience, I can't say.

However, from observing and making my own personal opinions of the subject, I feel that sex, while important, should never be the basis of any relationship.

As I've stated many times in this forum, I believe sex without love is meaningless, so the act of just fucking because someone is bored or because they just feel like it is almost an alien concept to me. I can understand the physical and mental reasons why people do it, but I can't really wrap my head around the act of having sex with someone without loving them or in some instances, not even caring about them.

So, yes, it is important, but it shouldn't be important just because it's sex.

 

[samael_morningstar]

I am a hormones fueled twat in his mid teens. Sex is whats going thorughmy mind ALL FUCKING DAY

Its only important when your not getting any.

yup same shit over here except i lack the skills to get any

I concur with these two guys. And the urge doesn't die down in your mid-twenties either as I've found out. Unfortunately I'm also of the opinion that most women are insane, although that's another debate, or maybe it's just NZ girls? When I finally find a sane girl again I look forward to getting laid regularly P.S: I'm not an asshole, just a nice guy jaded by experience
