Or if you're like me and not a vegetarian you might still find bacon disgusting. I can only think to describe it as a cross between a bit of leather that's been left out in the sun and fat. On the other hand I don't care for sex either. I'm just going to guess that the majority would find sex more tempting than bacon. I guess it just depends on which type of person has a larger populace.Phoenixlight said:
Edit: Sex definitely sex. As bacon is definitely not everywhere that people are. Therefore there are probably chaste people in remote places who will NEVER be tempted by bacon.
Well, there are some people who say they have never masterbated or had sex. I respond to that with a joke my friend told me. I'm not 100% sure it's forum safe though. PM me if you want to hear it.Julianking93 said:
OT: For these things to be a temptation, I suppose they would have had to have experienced them before but have ceased to partake. Let's assume that the vegetarian had previously been a meat eater, and the chaste person had previously been whatever you call a guy who has a ton of sex (consensual, of course. Just to keep the hypotheticals legal). However they both had a life changing moment, and both decide to give up what they enjoy most (bacon and sex, respectively in this case).
Depending on one's moral fiber, you can come up with a hell of a lot of reasons why eating meat is wrong, immoral, etc. (I've been presented with such arguements myself. Not enough to stop eating meat, but I will say they were pretty damn good arguements). However, it is difficult (if not immpossible) to oppose sex on moral grounds. Add to the fact that it's programed into us to pass on our genes to future generations (and sex in general feels good...at least that's what people tell me, I wouldn't know), and I would have to conclude that sex would be the harder temptation to resist.
What defines a "true" vegetarian? One of my best friends is a quite strict vegetarian (No eggs, and she is on the fence about dairy) for purely dietary reasons, she finds nothing morally wrong with animal products.Phoenixlight said:
On topic, I'll say that Sex is a greater temptation. As delicious as bacon might be to you, no one has an instinctive calling to it like people have to sex.
The poll broke, it's been happening a lot lately to many different threads.Phoenixlight said:
Not all vegetarians commit to that lifestyle because they think that eating animals is wrong, many people go vegetarian for health reasons. The very definition of a true vegetarian is well... a vegetarian]url]. Vegetarians don't eat meat, although sometimes there is an exception with diary products and eggs.
The sex, no fuckin doubt.
If i was a vegetarian....wait, who am I kidding, there is no possible world or universe were I am or ever will be a vegetarian.
Veal FTW!!!

Sex for chaste people.
You can satisfy hungers through other tasty vegetarian foods, but Sex is more of a primal urge that all of us feel and try to satisfy

Sex for the chaste. Sex is a biological IMPERATIVE. Imperative meaning that we are designed to have sex. Ever tried not eating or sleeping? It's about the same thing.
I've actually never had it before, so I can't say if I do or not.Canid117 said:
Just a vegetarian, so I don't eat it.
Yes, plenty of people believe so, and it's well proven that a well planned (those parents obviously didn't do that part) vegetarian diet can have health benefits. It wasn't the vegetarianism itself that killed the baby, it was that the kid's diet was made up of crap that lacks nutrition. A vegetarian parents that wasn't retarded and knew what they were doing would have breastfed the baby or at least brought formula.Fluse said:

I have a friend that was raised on a vegetarian diet, he's perfectly healthy and runs on the track team and could probably kick my ass. And here's a list of known vegetarians.

reasons for being a vegetarian are many.Chamale said:
Not every vegetarian is in it because they hate seeing animals suffer. There are many economic, sociological and physical reasons why someone might not eat meat that have nothing to do with "I don't want the beautiful cow to die"
Gladly. For me, it was more of an actual choice rather than biological hardwiring. What I would be called is actually heteromantic with a tendency towards asexuality. The so-called "urge" to procreate only exists if I'm around someone I consider to be a significant other, but is something I can honestly do without for an extended period of time. The drive simply doesn't exist when I look at someone who would normally be considered "hot". Biologically, I think it may be a tendency to look for specific genetic qualities in a prospective mate rather than a desire to have my genes carry on to another generation.Aylaine said:
