How important do you consider sex?

[mike1921]

For a 15 year old boy- terrifyingly little.

I have sex just about everyday.

I don't know if it's important, but it's a fun way to express what words can't.

When you love your partner that much, you want to make them feel as good as you can, as often as you can

Man, you've got it made.

Nice Kuroko avvy btw.

Well, there no need to brag about it.

I'm decidedly "Meh" about the issue right now.

If a hot girl jumps in my lap, then sure, I might... but I wouldn't go chasing after it either.

Yeah, this is my current stand.

 

[ShadowsofHope]

I would prefer it in a meaningful relationship, but I won't just split-second turn a girl off if the opportunity may arise elsewhere either. (That, and I am an almost 19 year old male. I blame the fucking hormones for making sex one of the three main things on my mind everyday! Curse you, biology!)

That said, my right hand serves as a pathetic sexual partner for the time being.

 

[Stasisesque]

Depends if I'm getting any or not. If I'm in a dry spell (hurr), I find I apply more importance to sex than if I'm regularly gettin' some.

But generally, it's fun - in or outside a relationship. If sex becomes non-existent in a relationship then yes, it can cause issues (for me), sometimes that feeling of intimacy is needed. Not in the sense that sex = love, but simply an expression of it (also fantastic stress relief). I don't do one night stands, personal choice for fear of my health, but I do do casual sex and while not something I need to function, it is something I very much enjoy.

 

[IAmTheVoid]

Yeah, sex and being sexually appealing are quite important to me. I don't think I'd enjoy casual sex, though- sex is special not just because of how stimulating the act is, but the emotional connection that it brings towards to people, or at least, that's the impression it gives on me.

It's also amazing exercise, great conversation (for laughs or otherwise)and good stress relief. I hope this doesn't make me shallow or something. :/

"Sex is like oxygen, it's only important when you're not getting any."


WIsh I could remember who said that.

Man I couldn't agree more

 

[Lem0nade Inlay]

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.

Seconded man. Fuck, sometimes I don't even want to think about it AND IT'S THERE.

 

[Naleh]

Sex has never seemed very important to me at all (discounting reproduction). It may be enjoyable, but that doesn't make it important.

It seems to me that emotional connections are (or should be) able to exist and prosper regardless of physical contact. In fact, it shouldn't even come into it.

I only seriously think about sex every few weeks, and even then I blame my hormones.

OH GOD TALI WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME THIS

*cough* sorry. You are one of the very few people whose avatar always affects your post in my mind.

Sex is a complicated issue for me. I'm one of those weird people who is waiting until marriage. I've tried for years to explain to myself and others why I've made this decision, and I'm yet to come up with an acceptable and short explanation. Short answer: It's just the way I am and I didn't really make a decision - also - there's a huge trust aspect, and I'm bad with trust.

Not to say I don't enjoy intimacy, I'm just happier without the actual sex part.

So. Hope that ...helps?

I consider it crucially important. In fact without sex then we would be nothing more than a bundle of chemicals. There is little else of greater importance in the world.

 

[Nanaki316]

For me it's only important with the man I'm with. Don't get me wrong I've had other sexual partners but I was also abused so I wouldn't want to be with anyone else.
I'm with the man I want to spend the rest of my life with and sex is less important when you have other things i.e our two daughters.
It's still important I guess, just not as much as it used to be.

 

[Bloodastral]

It's okay on a cold day, but I might pass on a Friday if a decent game has just come out.

 

[Lyri]

The Asexual comments in this thread are hilarious.

Lack of female interaction and interest =/= Asexual.

Of course you are.

Well, that's the point, that I can't answer in yes/no terms. Sex can be important or unimportant depending on the realtionship and circumstances. A couple can have a great realtionship without sex making it unimportant for them. Others might need it to justify why they're even together. I don't think it's as easy as "sex is important: agree/disagree".

Also...quantum physics equation...if anything I would think it might open a philosophical discussion (not that it was my intention) but this has nothing to do with physics.[/quote]

Ok you got me there, and your right. It is more of a question of philosophy than physics.

Well, sex can be different things at different times. I won't really talk about my own relationship, but sex can be all the way from loving and beautiful to violent and destructive.

Then answer the question in yes/no terms, based on if you had the oppurtunity with a suitable female (or male if thats your game). There is no need to make this into a quantum physics equation.

Simple answer is?

Ok first off yes you have me there. You're right in that it is more a point of philosophy than physics generally.
The only point I will argue is that which you bring up of "is sex important".
I know it's not the main thrust of your reply but i want to focus on this aspect as I think it is central to the founding idea of this thread - How important is sex to you.

Why sex is important: it makes new people.

Is it important to indivdual people? Not always.


In history we have cases of people in power with a supply of hundreds if not thousands of concubines, and I'm talking on the procreative level here, we can see how on the genetic level that works. If oddly accepted at that time.
The human being is a form wishing to procreate itself, and we all can understand that. The more so (we procreate) the better for our genetic heretage.

With that in mind, what does it say about those that think sex, and by implication propergating their own genes, is unimportant? I draw attention to the Darwin awards. Those that took themselves out of the gene pool before they could procreate.

 

[Daipire]

By the act of sex, I don't mean the reproductive aspect, I mean the "Hey baby, I'm bored, lets bone." aspect.

Well, even though I never intend to ever approach sex like that, it's definetly an intimate and enjoyable way to pass time.

And yeah, I'm a male...

 

[Joshroom]

Well, between me and my partner sex is still a wonderful part of our relationship, even after 5 years. But for us it is definetly more an act of love rather than lust; apart from a few really bad moments.

I don't know really. I mean, sex is important in the context of a relationship, but it should always be treated with respect and never be the most major part is how I look at it.

 

[The Aimless One]

I don't care for the representation of sex in popular culture...It has litttle to nothing to do with the real thing i my opinion.

I never do the "Hey babe I'm bored thing".....I'm in a relationship, my partner and I have sex on a regular basis. This is more about bonding and being (really) close to each other then anything else.
There's also the physical aspect and some stress relief but I need to actually care about someone or its a no go.
