Would you make love to a meat eater?

I mean... of course I would be friends with a meat eater, I don't discriminate with that.

But when it comes to sex, it seems that it would make a difference.
I've heard that meat-eaters *taste* not as good as vegans. Also, they could have meat taste in their mouths/meat in their teeth if they just ate, and you're making out with them.

I haven't dated in a long time, so this situation hasn't come up for me. The thing is, vegan guys are hard to find- or even just regular vegetarians- at least, where I live. So this is something I've been wondering if I should take seriously.

I wouldn't purposely reject a guy just because he eats meat, to hurt his feelings... but I think it would gross me out sexually.

How do you guys approach this?

 

This really isn't an issue for me at the moment either, but I have briefly thought about it, and I decided that I will not date omnivores. Some people might think I'd being paranoid, or too picky or something, but I think we all have the right to decide. It goes beyond the subject of sex because frankly, I don't want to date somebody I have nothing in common with and don't even share similar beliefs or opinions. There is more to me than my veganism, of course, but it is a significant aspect because it interconnects to pretty much all of my other beliefs and opinions, which are extremely important to me.

I do know what you mean about how uncommon vegetarian, let alone vegan guys are, but to me, it's not that big of a deal. I really have no current interest in dating at all, so it isn't like I'm searching for any. In the end, it's all up to you - I've heard plenty of vegetarians and vegans being fine with dating omnivores and everything, and well, to each their own.

As for your comment about the taste, check out this http://www.downbound.com/Vegan_Sex_s/92.htm.. haha, it's funny, but informative...

 

ha! interesting article

 

Ophelia: are you stirring controversy on purpose? I've read three posts so far, and each seems to invite ridicule, even from veggies. Have you ever lived underneath a bridge? Do you harrass billy-goats?

 

I do, all the time! My DH is an omnivore, but his choice of diet isn't going to stop me from rockin' his world.

Bright Blessings!

Well considering only 5% of people are vegetarian, and I'm fuss as hell anyway, it'd probably be best not to totally limit my options.

Just have to learn to live with I guess.

Really the odds of finding love aren't fantastic. I've put up emotional walls for whatever reason before, it's a terrible thing and leads to such unhappiness. Am not going to do that again.

It's a slippery slope going the 'them and us' root. For the sake of sanity we have to see beyond the diet, there are so many wonderful people out there.
Are you seriously going to outright reject someone because they don't tick one box on your list despite anything else they have to offer and you can offer them?
Which is exactly what you're doing, without even giving them a chance to shine.

Well yeah good luck with that.

 

well,
I must admit I have experience and I don't like the feeling of thier skin. It feels soggy and not firm and I am talking about ALL OVER!

 

Who are "they"? That looks like a pretty stupid statement there, mike. Bit of a wild generalization, no?

 

I've been to this other veg board that has a banner across the top, its an ad for a website to meet other veggies Its called www.greenpersonals.com
maybe you could find a guy there??

 

my PERSONAL opinion is it doesn't matter---
My boyfriend is an omnivore/meat eater whatever you wish to call it--
He doesn't *taste* bad for one, and he usually is very respecting of my opinion and doesn't purposely kiss me with a mouth full of meat.

To me, it's HIS body, and HIS choice--- I wouldn't want anyone else telling me how to eat or live my life, or to not date me simply because I'm vegan---you see what I'm saying?

Love is love--- who cares what the person eats? As long as he respects your lifestyle, what's the big deal?????

 

I would never purposely lead a guy on and then say "ok, it's either meat or me". But, it would probably be something I kept as a positive attribute, and looked for.

A lot of people don't date smokers because they don't like the smell and taste of a smoker. This seems pretty comparable.

 

Do you ever consider your purpose, Jim? What im trying to say is, why exactly are you here? Im just really curious. Wherever i go, you pop up like a weed...yet you never really offer anyone any answers.

P.s-My boyfriends a meat eater and it DID used to really freak me out. But what could i do? Hes not ready to give up meat, and its his choice. Now ive thought about it, i dont really have too big a problem with it. Although i do make him brush his teeth after eating.

I agree with Apples+Oranjes, my husband is omni I'm vegan. I refuse to kiss him if he's eaten meat and I ridicule him for it but only in jest. If he decided to become veggie I'd be over the moonbut I love him the way he is and what he does . And as for tasting bad - HUH??!! (And his skin is nice and soft )

 

um i officlially dont like jimw, and it matters to me, i mean, on a date with a guy, i dont wanna look at the opposite side of the table and see some guy chomping down on a hamburger or a steak , that would offend me, i get offended everytime i see something like that call me too sensetive but, thats the way i am

 

i wouldnt date a meat eater....so i guess i wouldnt sleep with one either. i certainly wouldnt want to kiss one~

i find meat too offensive to be able to be attracted to someone who didnt feel that veganism was important.

 

i know a woman who is really into animal rights and stuff and she said that if she had become a vegan just before she had met her husband or before it got serious she prolly wouldnt be with him now...

 

Exactly. We look for partners with whom we're compatible, and so I don't see why people should be surprised when veggies wanna date veggies. Christians wanna date christians generally, and nobody bats an eyelid about that. And considering how strongly many of us feel about the moral issues surrounding vegetarianism/veganism, it's hardly surprising if we look for people who share our outlook when it comes to forming relationships.

I've been veggie for about seventeen years, and I've never dated a meat eater in all that time. Funny thing is, that wasn't planned.... it just worked out that the people I was attracted to all happened to be veggie. Don't think I could date a meat eater anyway - burger breath would be a real turn off for starters. And I just don't like being around meat. I guess if they were really considerate and understanding it might be possible, but I find it unlikely. Of course, I've been lucky in that veggies are pretty common in the UK. I guess it's different in other countries where vegetarianism is much rarer.

 

I made out with an omnivore smoker before... thats not somthing I'd want to do again! Maybe if my partner brushed her teeth after she ate meat and had a lot of tictacs and such, then maybe I'd date them.

 

in a perfect world i'd be with a veggie, but they are thin on the ground...and you can't always rationally choose who you fall for.

i'm happy to be with a meat eater, as long as he isn't a dick about it...like the guy i'm maybe starting something with at the moment eats meat but thinks it a bit overrated, and is happy to split a vege curry with me when we go out.

i don't think i could handle sleeping with/ being with someone who was one of those boofhead let me dangle steak in your face/ask if you want my mcdonalds (harhar) meaties.
