Poll: Is sex sacred to you?

[mrblakemiller]

It's sacred to me. I agree with my God when He tells me that sex joins me to the other person like nothing else. I'm still a virgin, but I've gotten closer to sex than I wish I had, and that's making it really hard to get over my last girlfriend. So for me, sex is something that is capable of making a powerful connection with someone else, but that power is diminished with every hook-up I have, so I'm saving it for the one person I want to spend my life with.

I personally have no interest in casual sex. Not for religious reasons or anything like that, I just prefer having an emotional connection with my partner. It's intimate and personal, but I don't think "sacred" really applies.

Sex is very special to me. And I like to call it making love. :3 I'm a romantic at heart, you see. Though I do have to say when Tom and I are role-playing it tends to get a little saucy. And damn do I love it.

EDIT: We've been together for 1000 days today! Only 8001 more to go and we'll be over 9000! ;D

I see it like that too.
Making love and having sex are differnt things. Making love is sacred.

Having sex though is just an amazing way for two people to please each other.

Sex is fun, Sex with some one you actually care about can be pretty deep and meaningful. Being into kink I have a fair bit of experience with sex, I find a lot of people can be actually scared of sex and make it into a big deal but its not a big deal. You just gotta relax and enjoy your self and remember he who does not ask, dose not receive.

In short:
doing it with a like minded kinky woman I barley know = fun but meaningless.
doing it with my girlfriend with passion = pretty meaningful actually.
But I would never go so far as to say its scared it's just a bit of fun

Sex is something kind of "sacred" to me in the way that I want to give it only for the love of my life. I'm holding off until marriage before I have sex with anyone.

Wow the poll answers really surprised me, as soon as Christianity is out the window you dirty little monkeys go worshiping sex instead

This does however nicely explain all the forever alone threads.

Not really, no. I didn't click "No" on the poll though, partly because I don't think its a recreational sport, and partly because I'm immature and one option said "Ha ha".

Back on subject, I think that sex is what it is, nothing more, nothing less. If it weren't then you wouldn't be able to have sex with people you don't care about. In reality, it doesn't matter, angry, sad, bored, tired, love, hate, apathy, you can have sex regardless of how you feel generally or for the person in particular.

Just because you can though, doesn't mean you should. Personally I'd rather have sex with someone that I care about than a stranger because..... I don't really know, sentiment maybe? Anyways, it's a no for me.

I think "Sacred" is definitely the wrong word. It's not particularly special either. I think it's fine to have sex with someone you don't necessarily want to marry or spend the rest of your life with, and I think it's silly to say that sex ought to be reserved exclusively for procreation; humans are quite plainly not wired that way.

However, I still picked the first option, because I think sex needs to be taken VERY seriously. At it's basic level, regardless of your intentions, whether or not you're using protection, you've got to realize that you're messing with, quite literally, your innate ability to CREATE LIFE. Not only that, but sex has been shown to be an emotionally bonding experience on the biological level (or, if you're not very good, it can also be the opposite of that... yeah). Emotions are powerful; you don't want to mess with the feelings of the wrong person. And then there's diseases; the implications there go without saying.

At the very least, I think people ought to limit their sex-having to people they know reasonably well and at least like. Not everyone you have sex with needs to be your dream partner, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to bang obnoxious strangers.
