Sex.

[IkeGreil29]

One thing I noticed is that people think condoms and pills are the ultimate panacea of multiple sex partners... are these people aware condoms break, pills fail, and some STDs are transmitted even with a condom?

 

[crudus]

Well, as always I like to define my terms before talking about them. Since you didn't, I will.

Spoiler: Let's ask UrbanDictionary!

1. What kind of moron are you that you look up sex in the urban dictionary?
Looking up sex??? Seriously, get off now before I turn off the internet.

...fuck

Anyway, I think sex is sex. I really can't form an accurate opinion of it when I am just neutral. Sure, when I am turned on it is amazing what with all the energy flying everywhere and whatnot. I really don't think it is sacred when many, many others in the animal kingdom just rape their mates for sex. Sex should also never be saved for the wedding night anyway. Sexual compatibility is just as (if not more) important than personally compatible. If you don't have a good sex life, you won't have a good marriage.

I think that sex is something that should be saved til the wedding bed, personally.

Why? (note: I read after this point, and I would also like to know why you "violate" yourself or why you can't bond with many people)

I agree with a fair number of people here.
Sex is something only to do (at least in my opinion) in intimate situations with people you care for.
Granted, I'm a virgin so I don't really know much about it and can't comment but the idea of casual sex bothers me quite a bit and I don't get why people find the need to do it constantly simply because... what? They get bragging rights? Really? I find that both extremely immature and disgusting.
I enjoy sex and all (with myself of course) but I don't see the need in finding someone to fuck simply because I need an orgasm. I have other means for that.
No, I'll wait for someone I love to share a first time with, thank you.

If people want to have sex that's their own choice. And the right to do it how they want, with whoever they want, regardless of what society says.

this post pretty much sums up the whole thread.

So really everyone here thinks that waiting until marriage is just some old fashioned tradition that can be left by the way side and sex (not love making, sex) is just recreation. Like playing video games?
Just wondering

 

[BlackJack47]

A very natural process that shouldn't be taken lightly but definitely should be enjoyed. Be safe and don't hurt anyone, that means emotionally as well.

Co-op video games
Takes a special partner to make that work right.

Some ofcourse will call it the ultimate evil (most girls it seems), and yet others will treat is as the holy grail of partnership... whatever floats your boat I say.

 

[Girl With One Eye]

I would only have sex with someone I felt comfortable with and trusted. I've never had sex outside of a relationship and I never would. I personally think it's better when you can trust the person and know that they're not just using you.

 

[dorkette1990]

It depends on the person... I personally think it's something you should do with someone you trust (your putting your mouth places and letting people come in contact with places you have to be pretty damn comfortable with) but it comes down to something intensely fun that can also help enhance an emotional bond. Note, ENHANCE not INITIATE (emotionless sex... is... meh)

 

[A Daft World]

I personally think that you should wait until you find someone you trust and love before you have sex. I really don't care whether that means waiting until marriage, or just finding someone who you trust enough.

I'm waiting until marriage. It isn't important to me when I finally have sex, but it is important to the girl I'm with because of her religion. As long as that doesn't bother me, I see no reason why I couldn't resist. The first time will be clumsy, but that's half the fun. We get to learn together, and start from the ground up. We get to find out things about each other that we don't know, and I won't have feel like I'm "painting by the numbers".

I can be happy in any situation as long as I have a hand, and my genitalia are intact. As long as I'm happy, who cares one way or another about when and why I have sex.

 

[holy_secret]

Sex is an amazing thing and actually the only "natural" thing that I think makes sense.
Sex is not sacred nor is it something to play around with. It is a way to entertain yourself and another one (or several if you're into that sort of things). If there is love involved, it can be one of the most intimate and meaningful experience you can experience with someone else. It's a combination of mental/emotional and physical pleasure.

If there is no love, it is still a very nice thing to do. It releases a lot of hormones which make you feel better, improve your self confidence and do a lot of other nice things.

There is only risk for STDs if you go unprotected. That is not due to sex, that is due to idiocy. It's like blaming the bloiling pot when you pick it up without a glove and get burned.

You damn, sexy ninja you...

Yeah, I think sex is great, but something that should only be done with someone you trust.

Why do you think so?

 

[OldKingClancy]

Her: ?Yeah but sometimes I think about that choice. These are modern times and the frigid ***** comments at school get to me at times. I don?t want to fuck the next guy I see but I wouldn?t mind if it was with someone I loved.?

I think my cousin's view on sex is the one I follow.

Having sex because you are afraid of being called a "frigid *****" is really no better of a reason than not having sex because someone told you it was immoral. It should be no one else's business. Slut, prude, 40-year old virgin, gay, straight, lesbian, bi, polyamorous, swinger, fetishist, boring old missionary... no one has any right to say that these things are wrong. The only time anyone can be doing it wrong is if they and their partner(s) aren't happy with the way they are doing it.

I understand what you're saying but that's not what I was getting at, my cousin was making the point that sometimes you don't have to wait until you're married - like she was - and just being with someone you love and care for would be enough not to regret anything. The 'frigid *****' comments weren't making her want to go out and fuck someone they were just highlighting her doubt about waiting that long.

 

[djs.specs]

Sex with someone you just met is fun enough I suppose. But its even better with someone that you know and care about.

 

[Vault101]

That's the topic. But what do you think about sex? Like, do you think it's sacred, do you think it's just an activity, do you think it's something that you should wait to do, or dive right in on the first date? Would you do it with a stranger, or only with someone you truely know? Just your thoughts on sex. And why?

I think that sex is something that should be saved til the wedding bed, personally. I think that it is the ultimate act of love and it bonds you with the person you share it with. It's like you take the core of yourself and place it in the other person's possesion and if you do it with lots of people regularly, you split that core and violate yourself. But thats just my opinion

EDIT: When I say sex, I mean making love as well, not defining between sex and love making.

I dont think theres anything wrong with belive sex is...well what you described it as

HOWEVER limiting yourself to "no sex before marrage" I think just doesnt work in todays society...and is really uneccisary, SURE it made sense back when everyone was getting married really young and marrage was "the thing you did"

BUT thease days....I mean marrage is a huge commitment, I dont WANT to get married anytime soon and I dont think people should get married too soon (or get preasued into marrying)

I mean if somone doesnt want to get married then why should they sexually repress themselves? its not right and its not healthy

that said people CAN have deep and intimate relationships without a ring, a ceremony and a peice of paper....fuck that! I say its unessicary if you really love each other those things dont make a difference

oh sure theres religious reasons but thats somthing different entirely

anyway persoanally "no sex before marrage" I think is a relic from a bygone time

Love, Sex, Marriage.

I do it in that order. I wouldn't have sex with someone I didn't love, and I wouldn't marry someone I hadn't had sex with.(For me, marriage is more about being at a stage where you are comfortable with spending the rest of your life with another person, and create a family with them. You need to have lived, slept, quarrelled, laughed, and cried with that person enough times before you could possibly be ready to make such a decision.)

I can look at sex very simply, and sometimes I can't fathom how people think there is some HUGE difference between masturbation and sex, especially when we live in an age where sex between same-sex couples is still considered sex (If what two lesbian women to with each other is still sex, how can you define it as simply as we used to?). But I also realize that sex is an emotional experience, and that's one of the main differences (on a more technical basis, I define sex as two people causing each other to orgasm. How they choose to do that is up to them. This way masturbation is not sex, as it only involves one person).

Sex is not as big a thing as pple make it out to be, nor is it so simple as others would like to dismiss it to be. In my opinion, anyway.

Best thing in existence, followed by strawberry sundaes.

Should be done daily. Sundaes not too often.

Sex is really not the be all and end all of life.

The problem with saving sex for marriage is that you commit yourself to one partner, assuming the marriage doesn't end in divorce. Like it or not, you learn many things about the act of sex from different partners. And while it is certainly possible to get creative on your own, there is a possibility that you might miss something that you may have learned through a new partner. Plus I think it also does a world of good for you psychologically but that's an entirely different discussion.

As for your first paragraph, What do I think about sex? Great tool for expressing love but devastating if you have it with someone you're not so fond of. At least if they were satisfied, girls seem to develop a deeper emotional attachment to you after the act. This is also why it is bad to have sex with friends as it can ruin the friendship if things don't work out.

Do I think it's sacred? Mostly, no. I think it's just a natural urge that we as mammals need to have every so often.

Should you wait to do it or have it on the first date? Usually the faster you have it, the more interested you are in the sex and less in the person. If both parties are aware of that fact, it can lead to a decent one night stand. But obviously if you like the person you'd want to take things slower. It's just more respectful that way.

Stranger or someone I know? I have done it with strangers just because I am an opportunist, but every single time it felt cheap. In my experience, the sex is always better with someone you know. Emotions contribute to the overall pleasure of sex for both parties, whether or not men want to admit it.

It's like you take the core of yourself and place it in the other person's possesion and if you do it with lots of people regularly, you split that core and violate yourself.

So basically it's like making a horcrux?

 

[Jake the Snake]

There is no "right way" sex should be viewed; it's different for every person. My opinion on it...um, well, it's kind of in the middle? I don't see casual sex, ie, just fucking the first person you see without any thought at all, is a good idea. I don't think you should associate THAT kind of detachment with something that is, after all, inherently intimate. But it isn't sacred. Sorry. You're needlessly glorifying it and are setting yourself up for a lot of frustration and heartbreak if you think sex is something reserved for marriage. (An institution that was once important, but has since become watered down into the realm of "Casual" thanks to high divorce rates. I don't like it. I still take it very seriously, but this is how the world is now.)

I'm going to be frank here. Men and Women are both programmed to enjoy and seek out having sex. Sure maybe for guys it's more direct, and for girls it's more emotional, but it ultimately leads to the same place. If you're in a relationship, sex is an important part of connecting and solidifying that relationship. People change after they have sex. The relationship changes. And sometimes, not for the better. If you wait until you're married, you're putting yourself at risk of causing the dynamic of your entire relationship change with no easy way out. Does that sound selfish? Maybe. But how bad would it be to discover you can't love a person fully because you're incompatible sexually after you're married? Sex is an important part of any relationship. And if it isn't working, it can only breed disappointment, anger, resent and eventually hate.

TL;DR: Sex is not sacred nor should it be abused/tossed away. If you like someone, do it. Literally. You will be happy you did, one way or the other.
