I think you have interesting views JamesMorbid, the social pressure for promiscuity seems just as, if not more thrust onto people than monogamy now. I don't know if caving into that pressure says much about intelligence and being a-sexual seems like a bit of an extreme reaction but I do commend the gist of holding onto those ideals.
Just one Dick, my Grandfather.....His name was Dick, but he preferred that we called him Rick or Richard.
Many people that I know who have had multiple sex partners are very intelligent - including members on hip forums. Having sex with someone doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be looking for the "right one". Had I not been so shy when I was younger, I might have had more sexual encounters (or at least tried, lol). It would all just become memories, but then again everything does. As long as no one gets hurt, what's the harm?
Youre not talking about the same thing as me? I am referring to anyone considering a relationship at all. if you want to forever free love thats your business I just say do one or the other, dont switch
Why one or the other? During my 51 years, I've had a healthy appetite for sex and sated it with some real fun ladies whenever the chance came along. During that same time, three times, I've met a woman who I shared a special connection with, and the love and intimacy of those relationships got me married and faithful for seven years once, twelve years another time, and while I'll never marry again, I'm with my current girlfriend almost four years and we talk about growing old together. When you're unattached, there's nothing wrong with having whatever fun you want. Of course if just having sex with someone makes you feel bonded with them, I could see how you'd be afraid that their promiscuity might cause them to move on from you. Maybe if someone's not the one for you, they'd be moving on no matter how many other people they've been naked with.
So when you do find the right one, you should not be monogamous with that person, just because you previously had multiple intimate encounters? I have a feeling that our logic does not work the same way. I've expressed my view. I probably won't keep going back and forth. Nothing against you.
One of the most disturbing things for me is when I run across the Fakebook page for somebody who used to be fun and open-minded in college, but now claim to be religious in a hyperconservative way. How does that happen to a person? Once you've opened your mind, how do you close it again? I don't do everything that I used to do, but that doesn't make me want to tell other people to be just like I am now. I have two friends who now have daughters going through their "sleep with anything that moves" phase, and I hope they enjoy it just as much as I did when I was their age, and a little older.
I think it boils down to perspective. If you view other people as your property, you'll feel like James Morbid.
Hey Fuck you. noone is anyones. i just like devotion in people, thats my business just as much as fucking anything that moves is yours
I have not "had" any....and it is an issue of respecting your own self in order to even respect others or anything for that matter.....but if you don't respect your ownself...i won't be surprised at your lack of respect for me, either or expect much of you..... I would not want a pile up of any girls or women around anyone i was dating either, and if there were, it is only because he was encouraging it..... but it is not any of my business what anyone else does with their sex lives nor do i care.....but don't put someone down just because they are not like you, either. and for the record, i always respected myself and was never "free and easy."
Maybe that explains my view of casual sex. I must not respect myself. That could also explain the frequent occasions where I abuse myself.
and for the record, Shale, i never found you being disrespectful to anyone on this forum ever.....I was referring to respecting others and the differences..and not expecting them to be like you are or putting them down for being different...i will react to people who do, although, i did against my better judgement. Sometimes it is better to not react at all...but too many things have piled up to make me explode in anger....either do that or just fade away, i guess.
The number of partners I've had has nothing to do with dis-respect. Making love is a beautiful expression of deep affection to another human being. I have nothing but beautiful memories of the people I've loved. No regrets.
holy cow what an awesome thread this turned into.....moonglow your view on sex is common knowledge ...but here you are in a thread called ''how many dicks have you had''.....sweetpea that is a joke.....an actual joke I will tell my rl friends....I love it ftr....although fucking.....like aerianne says....can be a beautiful expression of love and yadda yadda yadda......it is not that all the time for me.....likely never will be like that for me again........nothing whatsoever wrong with fucking a hottie in the stairwell of the parking garage beside the bar....that is also beautiful and awesome or fucking the thai babe during the last 15 minutes of the rubdown when she asks ''would you like to turn over mr rollingalong'' its all good
