This doesn't bother me in the slightest. I know 2 people who lost their virginity at 14, one of whom got pregnant.Julianking93 said:Or more specifically, your feelings towards casual sex and romantic sex.
Just something I'm curious to find out, how does the Escapist feel about open relationships, casual sex or people who sleep around a lot?
This is something I've been wondering about for some time now but never really got around to asking it. I was talking with a certain user here who shall not be named, who is in full support for casual sex and open relationships. Now, I think I've made my stance on the subject clear by now, but for those of you who don't know, I am the type of person who wants to wait for someone I love until I have sex so needless to say, I don't agree in the least with those types of people who go round having sex with as many people as possible.
Note that I'm in no way saying my way of thinking is better, it just works best for me. I personally don't see the point in going around fucking everyone you possibly can when you have your hands to give you the same satisfaction. For example, I know a girl who is 19 and has had sex with 29 men. And she lost her virginity at 17.
Now I may be a prude or I may be close minded with an old fashioned way of thinking but am I the only one who is bothered when you hear about people like this?
And she's not the worst I know. Some are in the triple digits and they're not even 30. Some friends I know have friends at that age (19) who are in the hundreds. Personally, I don't see the point of that. Thinking about things like that makes me very uncomfortable and I know that's just me but I can't be the only one.
I'm all for sexual freedom, but when it gets to that point, it becomes a little much.
So, Escapist, what do you think about all this?
For those of you wondering, I am 16, a virgin and an atheist, so my opinions on sex are not affected by religious influence.
I can't speak for the gay thing, but as a straight guy I totally agree with this sentiment---when I find a quality partner I want to keep her around for as long as she'll have me. Better sex that way.Sebenko said:Meh, I've slept with... a few people.
Not many. But I'm already tired of random sex. Seriously. It was fun and all, but explaining stuff to new people, making sure they're not an STD infested whore, etc. etc., then ending up with some mediocre sex because we don't really know each other or our likes and dislikes wasn't really that good.
Meanwhile, doing stuff with my boyfriend is great- we don't need to spend ages dicking around with finding out what we like. Great sex on tap, so to speak.

Personally I prefer sex within a relationship. Sex when done in this way is normally better and far, far more satisfying, especially on an emotional level. I can't understand people that prefer one night stands, I prefer the intimacy and the emotions that go on between the two people involved rather than just the pure fluid transfer.Julianking93 said:Or more specifically, your feelings towards casual sex and romantic sex.

I meant the people the OP mentioned, who have slept with 100s of people at a young age. They obviously have no respect for themselves, so I have no respect for them either.FamoFunk said:What the fuck?EmileeElectro said:Ha, I think people like that deserve to get sexual diseases. They obviously don't regard their sexual health and well being, so balls to them. (Quite literally...)
It's usually because those people have incredibly low self esteem, sleeping around ups it for a while but destroys it when they realise they were used. I pity them more than anything.
I'm probably just a prude though, I only sleep with my boyfriends and pretty much everything on TV seems to think it's fine to cheat on your significant other.
Who are "people like that"? You mean those who have casual sex, they deserve an STD/STI? even if they're practising safe sex, which can't be said for most people in relationships.
Some yes, need to boost their self esteem for 1/2 hour and that's very sad and I do feel sorry for them as something is missing in their lives, but most just love sex?
I'e slept with a lot of people, but I love sex, I have no issues regarding my self esteem and I did not deserve an STI (which I've never had) because I practised safe sex.

This pretty much sums up a lot of people's views here. But people don't need emotional attachment to masturbate, to take drugs, to drink, to play games online with strangers. You don't need to be emotionally attached to a roller coaster, or the other people riding it.MirrorSweep said:Sex without emotional attachment seems pointless.
But, just an opinion.
