Sex was not "meant" to be anything. Sex is a fact, it is how we as a species reproduce. Sex being enjoyable is just coding to get us humping as much as possible so the chances of impregnation occurring is higher. Because we are a thinking species we attribute a level of mysticism to it. It makes us mini creators, so it must be a treasured thing.Vrex360 said:Sex is meant to be a beautiful thing, but due to our urge to taboo everything it has now been considered a sick act. That said I do sort of disaprove of mindless sex. I may have said this already but sex between friends only messes everything up.
That's silly, not everyone with OCD has an obsession with cleanliness... I'm more concerned with everything being lined up and even... And not touching things that are obviously dirty or dusty... And washing my hands every time I've touched another person. <_<MaxTheReaper said:I don't.Mazty said:Not really.
As sex is such a large social act, it isn't down to personal taste who does & doesn't like it - everyone likes it.
Saying a relationship doesn't need sex would be the same as saying a relationship doesn't need speech, or any form of attraction to one another.
In a sane, rational person, a relationship needs all of the above.
And that's all I would need to say "you're wrong," and leave it at that, because you said "everyone," which is like wearing a target at a shooting range.
Or voting Democrat in Kentucky.
So it is down to personal taste, or in this case, distaste.
Also, I am sure there are plenty of severely OCD people who think sex is disgusting, so even if I am not like them, we agree that it is not an act we would willfully perform.
Now that I think about it you're right, sadly. You do seem to correct me a lot...this a personal slight, or do you just like to correct?MaxTheReaper said:I didn't say that everyone with OCD was obsessed with cleanliness.Xanadeas said:That's silly, not everyone with OCD has an obsession with cleanliness...

Silliness aside EVERYONE needs something but it isn't always sex. I prefer to be alone myself but even at times I find myself wishing I had someone to curl up next to at night. Generalizations can sometimes be correct.
I just stated that I am sure there are plenty of people with OCD who are obsessed with cleanliness, and who cannot have sex/would not want to for that reason.
I simply don't want sex.

Actually, that is a good question.
I vote "Because of the title."No.Vanguard_Ex said:...aren't all relationships based solely on love?
Especially today, it seems like a lot of relationships are based solely on the "need" (it is not a need you whiny jerks) to fuck.
What a lovely represantation of life today, I commend you good sir!Godofgame67 said:Sex is the reason we have relationships. Think about, why do we work? To get money, why do we need money? To buy stuff and have nice things. Why do we need nice things? To get respect. Why do we need respect? To get noticed by people. Why do we need to get noticed? To get a date. Why do we need a date? To get a relationship. And why do we get a relationship? To get laid.

So an elderly couple must be humping like rabbits in order to love each other? I love my parents, but I'm sure as hell not going to jump their bones. If you have a positive relationship, it's a form of love by definition.cleverlymadeup said:sorry if you just sit around and not do anything sexual with your partner at all, that's a friendship. i mean look at it this way, you sit around, talk, watch tv but you don't touch one another in any way beyond the occasional kiss, that's friendship
Difference of definition between platonic love and romantic love. Romantic love is at least partly sexual.ThatJagoGuy said:So an elderly couple must be humping like rabbits in order to love each other?

You're essentially arguing against the psychological community who has dedicated over half a century to the research of love and relationships. No offence, but I think I'll back them on this one.
