What do you mean 'FREE LOVE?'

Am not understanding this term. All love comes with a price of some kind doesn't it?
(Did I finally find how to start a new thread? And my first has to be in this category?) Too Funny (think I'll change my name to TooFunny instead of TooTrue).

 

It means Promiscuity. Pretty much.

It means shedding the rules and assumptions given to you by society and previous generations about who you can/should have sex with, when you can/should do it and what type of sex that should/shouldn't be.

Is there a "price"? Maybe possible STDs or unwanted pregnacies...maybe social stigma. But if you mean "Is there a religious or spiritual price to pay?" I highly doubt so.

 

Thanks Wizardofodd. Do you think men feel more 'free' to have free love? I think so, but in society today ??? What's your OP?

 

I think stigma is dealt out unevenly. It doesn't mean it's right but if men feel more "free" I think that's the reason why.

 

And...actually...I should have said "who you can/should love" but it also applies to sex.

 

All the forums have descriptions at the top:

Free Love
Forum Description: Is promiscuity wrong or the way we were meant to be? Discuss sex without hangups, threesomes, orgies and more!

 

Hey Mod, when I log on, how do I tell is someone has replied to a post, without clicking into every question? Thanks.

 

I don't think they have that option here.......I think you just have to look at previous threads you want to check,. At least, that is how I have been doing it....

 

Actually I agree with the answers the OP received.



But I will say this the concept of promoting "free love" aka: promiscuity and taboo shattering in the sexual context...has not proven there is no

Faith-spiritual consequence, for these consequences you would need to prove the spirit realm doesn't exist, which nobody has done.
So logically the answer to if there are spiritual-faith problems for practicing a "free love" culture, is unknown, and in many faiths, the answer is yes and it's not up for debate, but enjoy the present life if that's what you really take pleasure in.


And in the case of mental-consequence, some are more sensitive that others and they cannot return to the place they were from before they "tried" something. So this is depending on the person and is subjective.

 

I think "Free Love" is a concept that is more wishful thinking than reality. While the idea of being able to make love to whomever we want without consequences is beautiful, the reality is that we do form attachments and emotions are hard to ignore. I should add that I think that is for most people - not all.

Personally speaking, I become attached to someone I make love to so it would not be easy for me to just have sex and walk away. Anyway, that's my two bob's worth.

 

"Free Love" is like a "Free Motorcycle". It doesn't exist.

Upkeep, maintenance and repair make sure that no motorcycle is free.

In the terms of this forum, people who have been burned by promiscuity and don't practice it, don't post here. This forum doesn't show the price they paid and are unwilling to pay again.

The posters on this forum, all of them speak of the care and caution when entering non-traditional sexual relationships. All of them spend a good deal of time and effort to make sure that their n-somes don't hurt people. Its not free, it takes a lot of effort.

The "free your mind to be open to ...." meaning of free is very expensive. When you cast off the shackles of expectations you take responsibility for your acts. And taking responsibility is a heavy price. Well worth it, but a heavy price.

 

well yeah, it doesn't just fall into your lap (at least not for men, some women maybe). it takes either a lot of money or a lot of time or both. but, the term isn't meant to be taken literally anyway.


in response to the off topic discussion: top center of the page is a tab that says "your posts." follow that link and you'll know if someone replied to one of your posts.

 

Thanks. (That means I don't want to reply to a lot of different threads. I don't want to have to check every thread, every time).
Any suggestions for a different FORUM or Talk place beside FB?

 

I'm all about the money. My love don't come cheap, you need a cold fuckin' million.
Just ask my mistress. ^.^

 

Free love...anyone want some, i got a lot going spare...

 

Experiences with this are going to differ, based on age and life experience. I can't do the same things I did when I was 20.

Nobody can be free of risks and consequences, but we can be free of artificially imposed social and religious rules. That's the kind of freedom I value.

That's right, but we are free to explore and discover what works best for us as individuals, with our own kinks and perversions. I think it's well worth the effort.

 

Free love- Give and receive freely, be in the moment, love the one you're with..

 

Some peolpe aren't very sexually charged so they are able to function in the "normal" soceital rules and customs. Others, like us, are Very Sexual and want/need to explore sexuality with others. I have tried exploring with the wrong people and have learned to be careful with whom I approach. The people who say "yes!" and the experiences I have had with them, have been worth the price. But it's so very personal; we all have to find our own way.

Good Luck!
