Now that I have your attention...
This thread was inspired by the discussion that started in one of DanTheBard's threads about love and sex.
I have noticed that many users here on The Escapists seem to regard sex (or at least the pre-marital kind) as something not important, needed or enjoyable in a relationship, or at least not as important as love.
While these are surely noble sentiments, it seems to me very stupid, or at least naive, to think that any relationship based on love can keep going without sex.
If in fact we can all agree that a relationship based solely on sex is doomed to fail, then surely one based solely on love is also doomed to the same fate. After all, man is a "carnal" animal.
I don't know where I'm going with this, I just wanted to know why here sex seems to be mostly looked down upon as something "dirty" and "unpure", while I for one think that it can be something beautiful.
Casual sex also seems to get a pretty bad rep, which I for one don't understand why.
