Free love is where it's at !!

You need things going on in your life to feel pleasant? That's sad. Only the greatest of "vampires" seek to reinforce self-deception and delusional narcissism.

Nope, I do fine. I do not come on here just to be negative to others. Everyone has enough crap in their lives and most deal with it fine. Some people are so miserable in thier own lives they feel they must lash out at others. If that makes you feel good about yourself then you have more problems than the person you attack here.

 

Love is magic. It's always has been and always will be.

You know anger is not the opposite of love. The opposite of love is indifference.

So thanks for caring enough about me to express an interest in my opinons and values. Even if it's just text mumbo jumbo on the Internet, I still appreciate the effort.

 

Lindsay,

Rocky and Trish may have been criticizing odrab here rather than you.

sounds like in a previous post he was defending you

 

Not sure what all the back and forth is about... maybe we just stop insulting each other (that goes for a lot of people above) and just let people have their opinions.

I for one think condoms are a good idea, but like Lindsay's attitude. If you have friends you can help and they are both cool with it, than good for you. Wish I had a friend like you around at some points in my life

 

I'm not fighting or criticizing anyone. But I'll gladly love everyone if they'll let me.

When people insult all you have to know is that they're really just trying to make themselves feel better because there's some sort of pain or void in their lives. The best thing anyone can do is just understand that fact and send make your love available to them if they want it.

I don't know where you live but if the universe decides to put us in each other's paths. Then trust me my arms are there for you when you need them. love is love and when you give it to someone without restraint or expectations.. It comes back at you 10Xs greater!

 

Expecting love to return 10fold is lame.
A lot of times it isn't as strong as you put out. A lot of times love doesn't even come back to you.

What is special about love and loving is that when you do exhibit 'love' and you feel 'love' back to you, it is instantly all worthwhile (the experiences).

I agree about 'free love' being slightly misogynist, as it definitely seems to benefit guys moreso than girls, as far as promoting the idea. It is rare to actually experience in true/totality, I imagine.

I still think is is a bit odd though...and just because I don't fully agree with you doesn't make me a vampire - though I have been known to sleep all day and be awake at night.

 

I am SOOOO confused. I come to a thread about free love and I get Dr Phil, vampires and exponential love increases.

I feel like I'm on the set of a Twilight movie directed by Spielberg.....

 

That may be true if you adopt the contemporary attitude towards sex; defined as mens' primary objective in life being to maximize frequency and number of partners, womens' to withhold it until some benefit of offering it is apparent. That contemporary attitude is the natural train of thought produced by our primitive genetic impulses, but since those impulses are based solely on reproduction and that is rarely the purpose of sex today, I don't see why the attitudes towards sex should not evolve to reflect that. If a new attitude should be adopted, sex being viewed as equally beneficial to both men and women (not factoring sex drive since that's very individual), since it provides pleasure in various forms regardless of gender, would seem logical. Based on that attitude, which I see no errors in logic that would prevent a person from freely adopting it, 'free love' would not be misogynist at all.

 

And then I skeet all up inside that girl and I'm out.
Gone forever. Girl doesn't even know who I am and she carries my child


Does that benefit me or handicap the female?

 

Obviously some form of contraception would be part of the equation. Again, diverging from traditional sex and the associated attitude due to changes in the approach to it that have taken place with societal progression.

 

Shit happens. Baby happens. Specially with lots o sex

contraception is 99%(maybe) effective at best, and with more sex = more chance of conception

no doubt it benefits dudes more.

 

The likelihood of pregnancy is minute when multiple forms of birth control are used properly and in tandem. Even if a girl were to get pregnant, abortion is an option. That adds up to: exceptionally slim likelihood of not overly severe potential consequences (if abortion is chosen, like most non-religious people would).

I'm afraid, I don't find your position very strong; you're as entitled to it as I am to mine though.

 

As a male that doesnt give a rats ass about a girl I just knocked up, the abortion procedure is none of my concern. Monetarily, emotionally - it doesn;t matter to me, it weighs heavier on the female however

 

Ever since the invention of the condom (in Ancient Rome, where soldiers used animal intestines, as it happens) it has been used as the most basic barrier method of birth control. However, in modern days things have changed & it's primary purpose is fast becoming a prevention against STDs, with its function as birth control merely serving as a secondary advantage.

 

Yes, I agree that if a pregnancy were to occur there would be a greater physical, emotional, and potentially monetary burden (abortions are of no cost in Canada - not sure about other countries) on the female if it were completely anonymous sex or the male were to ditch when he hears the news. The likelihood of a pregnancy is low and even lower that it be with an anonymous or 'afraid to take responsibility' guy, however. Given that, I don't think the greater burden of risk involved with sex that a female faces is significant enough to call 'free love' slightly misogynist.

As a whole, I like the idea of opening up ones self to spread happiness in any way possible. Be it offering a simple smile to a passing stranger, helping a friend, or engaging in 'free love,' I think all gestures of kindness and compassion have become far to rare in society and that contributes to maintaining the unfortunate status quo.

I also am of the belief that sex and nudity as whole have been demonized by religion and that is highly detrimental to society, so that feeds my support of the 'free love' idea.

 

Really? I only use condoms. I heard the pill makes you really fat and makes sex painful. Care to elaborate?

 

I think you're a beautiful person Lindsay Elizabeth

Don't let the vamps bring you down. They got issues.

 

What if u dont believe in birth control or putting those chemicals in your body? Or u hold a philosophy that it nature intends for u to become pregnant, then so be it?

Also with alot of free lovers... do yall use condoms? Arent u afraid of STD's?

 

If you don't believe in using contraception free love is not for you. Full stop.

And yes, if you want to love freely then condoms are a must unless you keep it within a small, closed group and you've all been checked.

 

So what did people do when they didnt have BC? Just not fuck? I find that kinda hard to believe to be honest. I guess I am just too "natural" for all that. I dont like chemicals in my body of any kinds, that includes BC.... and I am sure that somewhere along the line, many old hippies shared that same belief, just sayin
