Sex

[AndyFromMonday]

Such hipocrisy in movies and tv shows nowadays.

Insane violence is great for your kids but OH NO BOOBIES WILL RUIN your 12 year old who probably already watched porn.

It's funny to me because back in 2007's New Years Eve they kept the TV show "mild" with dances, happiness and all that good bullshit. Then, all of the sudden at 1 o clock a fucking stripper comes out of the set and starts dancing like there's no tomorrow.

OT: I have a liberal attitude about sex. That's all there is to it to be honest. I also don't believe in age restrictions. You're ready when you're ready. Saying that at a certain age everything will change and you'll suddenly be sexually matured is BS. In fact, there's absolutely no logic behind restricting sex until a certain age.

I honestly don't know what you mean by 'beliefs on sex'. I believe sex exists. It's not, like, a fantasy.

Anyway, as for where I learned about it, I have multiple sources. My parents have always been pretty upfront with me about sex, maybe because they're both doctors and they don't get embarrassed about stuff like that. I could always ask them things if I was curious, and they would answer me in an age-appropriate way. In my country, we also have sex education in schools, so I learned about it there, too, although that was mostly things like anatomy, what STDs are, "how to say no", and forms of contraception, but, being homosexual, an awful lot of what they taught me felt more than a little irrelevant.

I actually got a lot of answers about the mechanics of sex from the internet more than any other source, just by reading about it, but then I guess that's not unusual anymore. It helped me demystify sex. Having those dry answers helped make sex boring in my teenage mind, so I wasn't all that interested in doing stupid things or making mistakes.

I'm kind of old-fashioned in my relationships. I've only been with one person sexually, although I've dated other people since then. I've learned that I don't like pushing things into a sexual place too fast. I mean, if all I wanted was sex, then, theoretically, I could sleep around with anyone, and have it be completely unemotional, but that's not what I'm interested in. If I genuinely want to be with someone, then I'm going to wait until that trust is there, and until I know it's not a purely physical thing.

That's just me, though. I get that everyone has different physical and emotional needs. Right now, I'm not even interested in relationships at all. Too busy with other stuff to have that on my mind.

Personally, I think there is too much emphasis on sex nowadays, i know sex sells, but sometimes it gets a bit much.

I can't comment on sex itself (virgin FTW?), but I can say that I am very appathetic on who does what with whom. I will say that mindless and casual sex is wrong, in my opinion. I believe that sex should have some meaning for the partners involved.

I know it has something to do with making babies...

My Beliefs on sex - Its a normal part of life, there is no real extra meaning behind it unless you personally assign it extra meaning. Our brains are wired to want sex, and want a lot of sex naturally, anyone who doesn't want sex either developed differently (these things happen) or was taught that sex is something bad, dirty, or otherwise. Its also possible that someone has had a really bad experience (rape, or just really horrible sex) which turned them off to it completely to the point where they are not aroused by the idea of sex. The whole "waiting" and "saving yourself" stuff is, IMO, rather stupid.

I look at it this way, if you wait and wait for the right person to come along, thats missed time you could have spent improving your skills when it comes to sex and finding out what turns you on, etc. So you wait, then they finally come along and the sex is pretty "meh", because you barely know what you're doing and unsure what feels good and what doesn't. In my opinion its better to practice so that when the "right person" comes along you know what you like, want, and can deliver and the sexual bond between your perfect match can mature in a far more comfortable atmosphere. Waiting does not benefit you.

Where did I learn sex from - Mostly porn. I understood the basic mechanics of sex by about 9 and found a porno to witness how the act is actually performed around 11 or 12 (15 minutes of uncensored Spice channel, "free sample", ahh those were the days). Didn't actually get to HAVE sex until I was 18, and I sucked at it, lol...I'm much better at it now, but 10 years experience will do that.

Sex is one of those things that makes me laugh about society. At a basic level, every human being on the planet has either a penis or a vagina and a desire to use it, but society seems to want to stifle its sexuality (while at the same time emphasizing it). At least here in the United States, TV networks can't seem to decide if they want to show off their actresses bodies or place arbitrary restrictions on what's safe for public viewing (I mean, seriously, how is a nipple any more erotic than the rest of the breast?).

I could go even further into the double standard of what people say and what people do (sexuality is supposed to be repressed and frowned upon, but porn remains the most common use for the internet), but instead I'll just sum up my personal feelings here: sex isn't something that everyone should get into fits over. It's a natural part of being biological organisms, and we should just accept it as a part of life and stop being ridiculous about it. I'm not saying that we should all have orgies in the street or something, I'm just saying that we should accept it as a part of life and not pretend that it needs to be taboo.


To sum up this post, sex isn't something that we should think too hard about (as a society, I mean, I'm not advocating for rampant casual sex). To quote many an awkward conversation, 'men and women have different parts,' and we should accept that--and then move on.

"They got the Discovery Channel don't they?"

and so do you

 

[skitzo van]

Nothing wrong with it. Its overhyped. But since it is practically taboo in our society, and we all flock to this subject like crack, I predict anything (even stuff like this thread) with sex as the topic will have shitloads of attention. I'm just gonna wait till this topic has over two hundred comments. Oh yeah, there's a Zappa song for everything

Spoiler

EDIT: look at the latest post number. Called it.

I think there is nothing wrong with sex.
We should be open about it. It shouldent be an akward subject because a group of religious Zealots ((i think they call them selfs Christians these days)) say its something you shouldent talk about.

I learned about sex myself, because no one at home would dare mention it, and they didnt bother teaching it in school at a young enough age. I learned about sex more or less on my own. All i knew at the time was, "Its a sin to masturbate" and "condoms are the answer".

I was able to work out the rest on my own.

As for the act itself, it should vary person to person. Many people love it, others crave, and some avoid it. Its really about your exp to it. Im in the group of, "Sex is nice, but im not going to go out of my way for it."

If im playing Black Ops, fable 3, Front Mission or Fallout 3/New Vegas, and someone were to offer me sex, i would turn it down.

Sex is a sacred act to be shared between to people and only between those people and preferebly only if they planned to get married. Anyone who thinks diffrently i can ussualy thank cause then i know who to aviod in life.

Australian here, Lost my Virginity at 15 to a Boyfriend and has not been with someone else since we broke up, I have differing opinions, On one hand I think Prostution Is a Ligitamite Job, But using sex to push yourself further along career paths or to become popular is wrong. Unless you use it for money sex should only befor people you truly care about (This does include friends with benifts)

I'm Not sure Where this came from but I did hit the sexual side of purberty at 8 and at the age of nine I started to go on the internet unsupervised So I most likely found some 'innapropiate' stuff then.

also Masterbation is ok but I don't want to know about it, so hide the evidence and don't be loud

Sex is a intimate form expression between people not specifically for love, sometimes for confirmation, or for pleasure and also for the sheer thrill of sleeping with someone who's name you don't even remember the next morning. I have a open relationship with my girlfriend for over 6 years, I do my thing and she does hers, so I do not believe in the outdated believe about 'only when married or not with someone else as your current girlfriend and since we both think that way where not jealous and after nearly 7 years where still going strong (we started our relationship when we where 13)

With other words Sex is a intimate way of self-expression
Hope it helped

You have to write A FULL PAGE?! Oh, tragedy! Even single-spaced that's shorter than a newspaper column. Dear gods.

But as for sex, I haven't had it since August and I'm quite annoyed about this fact. Not that I'm the lecherous Edgar Roni Figaro wannabe I used to be, but sometimes only a good poke will do.

I don't understand why people say sex is overrated, but to each their own. I personally don't think sex is overrated. On the contrary, It's one of the few things in life I have found to be as awesome as it's made out to be. That being said I have gone long periods of time without it and have been perfectly happy, and I have never had casual sex (not that I'm against it for myself or others). I am also one of the few people who learned most of what I know about sex from my parents, school just reiterated what they taught me, which was the basics. I learned all the nitty gritty details from my peers. And I think the internet helped. To re-iterate, I like sex.

 

[William Dickbringer]

Sex is like money. Loads of it about, but I never seem to get any.

oh god lol you win

O.T. well sex to me is something that should be between 2 people that love each other but hey everybody has their beliefs right now it's not so important but then again people keep saying that sex is like oxygen you aren't complaining unless you ain't getting any
how did I learn it? school.

Save for marriage. Which is what no one is doing and everyone is sexting and getting pregnant before they're 15.

Where did I learn it? No where, it's just my moral compass. Never once was I told or expressed an opinion when I was growing up.

Wanting sex, as I'd say any normally developed person would, yet not being able to have it does crazy things to the mind.

First 6 months without sex: This isn't so bad, I'll have it again eventually and hopefully it will be with someone I both care about and find attractive.

1 Year in: Well this sucks, everyone else seems to be having it. Guess I just haven't found the right woman yet.

2 years in: I'm totally off sex now, I don't even care anymore. At this point the sex drive shuts itself down on the understanding you're probably not going to be getting any soon.

3 Years in: Sex drive still dead, you don't notice girls as much, seeing people as couples grates on the nerves a little but nothing major.

4 Years in: Sex drive returns with a fury. Sod love, sod a relationship, I'd be happy with a one night stand.

5 Years in (Currently): If it's legal it's possible. Say goodbye to standards, any notion of relationships or even friendships with the gender you find sexually appealing. You begin to both hate and crave that gender. Becoming a pervert takes a drastic increase, doesn't matter if she's fat/old/has no teeth/has some sort of skin disease, at this point you would. I don't think it's possible to get to 5 years if you actually have any clue how to attract your gender of choice, so at this point you are even more lost. Then of course there is seeing other people together, especially when it's a less attractive guy than yourself with a really attractive girl. WTF?!

Paying for it? I can understand paying for it if you can already get it for free and feel like a bit of fun, but to pay for it when you can't get it? Is there a worse way to throw away your manhood than to be so pathetic you have to pay to know the touch of a woman.

Sex is great, OP. Sex can enhance a relationship, it can be a pleasureable act between two consenting adults or it can be used for reproduction. It's hardwired into us to seek it, to desire it, the same as breathing/eating and sleeping. If you are denied breath, you feel a massive amount of pain and die, if you can't eat, you starve, causing pain and other problems. You are forced to not sleep, then you gradually go insane. I'm pretty sure the same happens with sex, to be denied a basic human instinct will have a serious effect on your mind over a long enough time frame.

I've known people who haven't had sex for say, a month. They are already ratty and it plays alot on their mind. 5 years, 60 months, 1820 days...god damnit...
