I think ,If you think your partner more than you when you make love,it become art,,If your purpose is just orgasm it takes only several minutes and it is called instinct..we make it like a yoga theraphy...
It is an animal instinct that, for some people, has been taken to an art form. For others, it's just a career fueled by our instincts.
it could be an art, could be a weapon, could be an animal instinct i think many never fully appreciate it, beyond the animal instinct and the rush towards orgasm becomes the entirety of the exprerience, others may take the time to perfect the art, which mixes emotion and motion, sight sound and texture mixed with love joy and desire.. but then theres still the others who use it as a weapon, inflicting it upon theyre victims (and i dont just mean rape, even concensual sex can be used in harmful ways) it can be beauty, it can be actuion or it can be ugliness, sex is what you intend it to be..if your intentions are purely beautiful then so will be the results
its the animal instinct towards procreation , if you take it down to why we each have this drive....But , I , being the romantic that I am , like to think that maybe love has a little to do with it.
wow you guys are definitely free, deep thinkers. I was thinking about the same question the other day as i was watching this porno movie. and something about the 2 guys d.ping this one chick, and the way their shoulder muscles were contorted, and the beauty of the chick, it did kind of look like art, but the act they were commiting, because it didnt seem very passionate. It seemed very instinctual, very animalistic. So i guess it can go both ways sometimes, depending on the angle (mentally) that you're looking at it. Just my humble opinion.
Somewhere in our evolution, we managed to overcome the instinctive and develop the insula, which (among other things) signals the body to get ready for what's coming next. So as we're putting on coat and mittens, exterior body temperature rises to prepare for the cold. In the same way vaginas wetten up, penises harden at the thought of sex - giving us a 'heads up' (pun intended) to what's next. So, at the least, it is more than instinct.* As to sex being an aesthetic experience appealing to our sentient selves, I think grandpa is correct. "Every man's got a peter, it's the one's who don't know how to use it; they's the bull-shit artists!" Art remains in the eye (and clit) of the beholder! *a horse cock hanging low is as 'morning wood' in adolescents, hormonal reaction to fixed physical directions; neither instinct nor art!
It's an art. I love my ability to feel like I'm having an orgasm for hours straight, but awy more important to me is making her feel good. The girls I've been with that I came quickly, I didn't care about her at all. One nite stands. The girls I really cared for was a long, glorious experience we both enjoyed substantially. So yes, to me it is an art. Kyle
I wholeheartedly agree. I think it depends on the situation, the reasons, the act itself.....it could be art. It could be instinct.
Realize, people are defined as human animals,and both human and non human animals engage in sexual activity,living, breathing animals that have emotions, feelings and needs.
oh man, this has been done. of course sex is an art. it's also animal instinct. hormones are a-ragin'. gotta do something about them, lol.
Sex is sex. We do it to reproduce instinctively, but being humans are intelligent, we make a bigger deal about it.
It's an art. In particular, it's a dance. I think that what distinguishes human beings from animals is our creative power, and our sensitivity toward each other. Sacrice those values, and yes, it becomes an animal instict. And we become animals in the process. But to really exult in the act, and revel in it, we need to treat it as a dance, and as a form of art.
someone once told me that only humans and dolphins (& apes?) have sex for fun - all the other animals just do it for reproduction - so it has to be more than just animal instinct for us, artful pleasure?
