View Full Version : Sex - or no sex?

Not tonight Josephine....:nono:

Something to ponder - How difficult would it be do you think, to be in a close and otherwise loving relationship where the male was not even remotely interested in sex? We hear a lot from men about their frustration levels experienced when their partners for whatever reason decline to participate in or generally show a complete disinterest in sex, but we (or I) rarely hear of the reverse. Or do we?

I was guilty of watching an episode or two of Shortland Street that other day where one of the characters claimed to be 'asexual' the definition of which (as given by the ever informative Wikipedia site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality)) describes asexual individuals as those 'who do not experience sexual attraction' as opposed to celibacy where one selectively 'chooses' not to be sexually active.

If you were a circumspect and moral person and did not wish to engage in pre-marital sex (yes I can see where you would get the idea that my thinking is old fashioned and therefore irrelevant in this day and age - but to carry the thought through), became engaged and married to a chap without realising that he wasn't just being celibate and / or respecting your wishes, morals, standards - how would you feel? Understanding? Sympathetic? Angry? Frustrated to all hell? Gypped? Murderous?

If it was the latter options, what would you do about it? Given that you married the chap because presumably you loved and cared about him - would you forego the sex - accept the situation and take the matter 'in hand'? Would you stay and have affairs? (and if you did would you be circumspect about it)? Would you read up everything you could about the subject and perhaps push for an element of counselling to try and resolve the situation? Or would you leave because a sexually barren life was not what you signed up for?

Just how important is the sexual aspect of a relationship to you as a woman? There are obviously cases where because of illness and or accidents where sex is not an option but this question is outside of that kind of scenario, as is the option of knowing beforehand and marrying anyway (awareness implies acceptance).

Not to criticise but perhaps enlist some professional help/advice before doing the Wikipedia diagnosis thing.

A lack of libido could well be a symptom of underlying emotional turmoil. Is the guy happy in everyday activities other than those sexual? If not what chance of depression being a factor? Maybe a bit of relationship analysis - for example is it possible he lacks confidence in bed due to a dominance issue? We all accumulate emotional baggage as we travel through life, and it has a habit of making its presence felt in a variety of ways. Complex things us human beings.:hug:

Extra-marital affairs? Sort out the problem at hand before risking making things a whole lot worse, not to mention financially and emotionally expensive :crybaby::crazy:

Errm I believe I am wrong person to ask that question to.....:doh: given as everyone on here is aware that for me personally I have bought a bike without taking it for a 'good hard ride' :spanking:.... and luckily for me have NO issues with said bike :first:

Regarding the second half of your statement - I agree - but the question was - what if DID deny yourself for any reason, what would your response be when you found out that the garden of eden had the proverbial snake but it was totally uninterested in either Adam or Eve?

I would not willingly choose a sexless relationship. I couldn't bare the thought of not touching or being intimate with my partner. I wouldnt find myself in an engagment and not know my partners preferences, he wouldnt even stand a chance with me if he was celibate, sorry.

I would not willingly choose a sexless relationship. I couldn't bare the thought of not touching or being intimate with my partner.

So then - good point. Is touching and intimacy (without the act of sex itself) included in the definiton of asexuality I wonder? Or would that be a part of the loving perspective of the relationship which I assume would have occured in the instance that I was thinking about.

Although the trigger for these musings was a male character on Shortland Street and they are 'together' but not married - his character appears to be reasonalby intimate and loving on the whole - although it seems as though he has thrown his partner at other men <?> and encouraged her to pursue an affair.

So then prompted by your post my question changes somewhat to 'is loving and touching and general intimacy, enough in a relationship under the circumstances described in my first post?'

Touching usually is sexual or leads to sex

I find women hard to under stand at times.

1 when you want sex and she doesn't, she calls you a sex maniac

2 when she wants it, and you don't, she accuses you of getting elsewhere

its a no win situation.

I'd agree with what's been said so far.

I mean okay, I'm 17, not exactly looking at a serious relationship, but long term and thinking for the future - I know that I love closeness, and if it were a relationship that I wanted to last, I would want the intimacy of sex.

An affair could be an answer, but that would either not fulfil it for me out of the fact that I'd probably only do it for sex which just doesn't seem right to me (I think that I'd just feel bad afterwards, even if hypothesised husband encouraged it) or I would get far too attached to Mr Affair, and leave the first guy for him - which I would also not want to happen, because if I'd gone to all the trouble of making him put a ring on my finger I sure as hell wouldn't want to simply throw away what otherwise might be an amazing relationship.

I would expect that prior to making a lifetime commitment to him the subject of children/sex/beliefs/interests would have been discussed, and some common ground established and agreements made. Unlikely I would agree to a sexless marriage, therefore if I did not know I was marrying a bloke that had no interest in sex, he lied to me by ommission I would be very angry and the relationship would be over in a flash.

Basically. I guess there must be some people out there who'd take the marriage and say well, I love them, they're my best friend, okay, well, I'll either live without or get "permission" for an affair. If he's asexual, let's be honest, he probably won't care. But, in saying that;

Mom states something I didn't even think of. Sure there's shotgun weddings occasionally but not so much these days, and if you've got two braincells to rub together I'd really hope people talk honestly about these things before getting married.

Dunno - the question was intended to be thought provoking and it certainly did that for me after I watched the programme and started thinking 'what if'. It gets complicated when you start thinking about all the scenarios that might have prefaced it.

My initial rection is that if it happened in the manner I outlined, then it would be a deception and I don't take deception well under any circumstances. A healthy sex life is surely at the core of every good relationship and if I had had the (pre-marriage) conversation as Mom suggests and the matter was not raised then I would probably not stick around.

BUT - if the guy was honest about it (and the character on Shorty street was) and I REALLY loved the guy (you said yourself there are other ways to obtain satisfaction other than penetration) then there is a (slim) chance that I might be happy to stay and look for other ways to fulfil the sexual intimacy component of the relationship.

With some of the answers, another question is raised - Does sex = love (well we know that one is not true:blank:) or does love = sex???

Absolutely not! I don't believe for a second sex = love. I think sex is an extention or progression of intimacy .. random sex is ok for some people but is just dead sex (I guess we have all done that) .. I think sex in a loving committed relationship is far more fulfilling and why expend energy on many with restricted reciprocation when a whole world can be opened up with someone special.

Men are far less complicated B4, the vast majority [on KB at least] would prefer a long ride or trackday followed by steak and alcohol and a good hard root-sleep afterwards would be impossible for them to avoid. You can bet not more than a millisecond after the vinegar stroke their mind is empty, their conscience clear.

Men do not as a rule consider 'emotion', generally they are ready for action at a moments notice and 'asexuality' is something many of them will have only just heard of. All across the country KB's men folk are scratching their balls and picking their noses wondering why the fuck any sane man would turn down a root!?

Seriously though if you are unfortunate enough to marry an assexual without knowing it there are toys available (Wanking isn't just a place in China!) also there is the fact that if the marriage remains unconsumated it can be anulled pretty quickly.

Two key aspects here - intimacy and sex. The two are related obviously but they also exist in isolation one to the other.

Sadly, a lack of sex is generally construed as a lack of intimacy by a guy, and a lack of intimacy leads to a lack of sex for a woman (or in other words, a lack of sex starves a guy of intimacy, so he doesn't feel like being intimate)...

... which leads to a woman feeling that lack of intimacy, which is an esential precursor to sex - so the sex doesn't happen...

.. which leads to the guy feeling a lack of intimacy... and around and around and around we go.

The solution? There are a three which people traditionally fall back on.
* Affairs (get what you need elsewhere, be it intimacy, sex or both...)
* Help - counselling... but this is an ocassion to bring out the big guns. Call someone with a degree, not someone that's done the 6 week block course because they think they're good at listening and they might have a go...
* Separate

In the end, any relationship that is not what it purported to originally be is going to struggle. Marrying someone that then refused to engage in a sexual relationship is called tying yourself to a freind... (without benefits).

OUCH

Yes I guess if you decided that love without sex was an untenable option you could indeed get your relationship annulled - gosh, didn't think that they did that anymore :gob:

Would they still be a friend though? Surely it would be deceitful, in which case you would presumably find if difficult to remain friends. Imagine being the guy or gal preparing to satisfy your sexual fantasies for on wedding night / honeymoon with your darling partner only to find that it ain't gonna be a happening thing!! I would imagine that the frustration levels would be pretty damned high.:angry2:

I spent a year with an incredibly unsexual man which after being with someone before hand that was sex mad was hard to say the least. The aforementioned man was more into massages than sex which was ok for a while but drove me to distraction after a year. yes you can love someone but if you are a sexual being and have a good appetite you will become very frustrated. Love does not conquer all!!

I do not condone extra partnership affairs but I do believe that men who are not into sex are just like the female counterparts and may be like that for many different reasons. In hindsight if I had been in a better place mentally and had been strong enough to stand up to a more dominanting partner I would have advocated counselling. Not for selfish reasons but becasue I believed there were underlying psychological issues that needed to be addressed. And never have.

Not wanting to be with a partner who is not 'sexual' does not make you a bad person. It is like being a biker and not wanting to be with someone who is not, you want to be able to share your 'hobby' with that special person. I do believe, however, that if you enter into a relationship with another person knowing full well that you are not a sexual person you should declare it in advance. Anything else would be cruel!!

I spent a year with an incredibly unsexual man which after being with someone before hand that was sex mad was hard to say the least. The aforementioned man was more into massages than sex which was ok for a while but drove me to distraction after a year. yes you can love someone but if you are a sexual being and have a good appetite you will become very frustrated. Love does not conquer all!!

I do not condone extra partnership affairs but I do believe that men who are not into sex are just like the female counterparts and may be like that for many different reasons. In hindsight if I had been in a better place mentally and had been strong enough to stand up to a more dominanting partner I would have advocated counselling. Not for selfish reasons but becasue I believed there were underlying psychological issues that needed to be addressed. And never have.

Not wanting to be with a partner who is not 'sexual' does not make you a bad person. It is like being a biker and not wanting to be with someone who is not, you want to be able to share your 'hobby' with that special person. I do believe, however, that if you enter into a relationship with another person knowing full well that you are not a sexual person you should declare it in advance. Anything else would be cruel!!


No it doesn't make you a bad person - I agree, and I like your anology. :niceone:

Given some of the responses - I see that perhaps I didn't think it through very well - given the audience, and the question of finding yourself married to someone with a very different sexual appetite to yourself without prior knowledge would be nigh on impossible these days. :jerry:

I think that society has a lot to do with expectations these days. We are always told in the media that we should all be at it like rabbits and that if we are not havign 50 orgasms a day we are not cool enough! We have advertising and media tell us that we should have everything we want and that anything less means we are less beings. People are 'taught' not to settle and that relationships like consumer good are easily disposable. Relationships like sex take communication, effort, time and understanding and in my hubmle opinion lots of people can't be bothered to put the time in if things don't go exactly as they want, expect or demand.

I still advocate truth and honesty, old fashioned I know but that is just me.

Does sex = love (well we know that one is not true:blank:) or does love = sex???

There is rooting and then there is making love. Sometimes I root my love but I would never 'make love' to a stranger.


Absolutely not! I don't believe for a second sex = love. I think sex is an extention or progression of intimacy .. random sex is ok for some people but is just dead sex (I guess we have all done that) .. I think sex in a loving committed relationship is far more fulfilling and why expend energy on many with restricted reciprocation when a whole world can be opened up with someone special.

+1 :niceone:


Interesting that the guys have trivialised the question with their responses:dodge:

Surprised? :rolleyes: :lol:


Men do not as a rule consider 'emotion', generally they are ready for action at a moments notice and 'asexuality' is something many of them will have only just heard of. All across the country KB's men folk are scratching their balls and picking their noses wondering why the fuck any sane man would turn down a root!?

When it comes to sex men have two modes-stand by and shag

:lol: Love your work AND thank god for men!!!


Two key aspects here - intimacy and sex. The two are related obviously but they also exist in isolation one to the other.

Sadly, a lack of sex is generally construed as a lack of intimacy by a guy, and a lack of intimacy leads to a lack of sex for a woman (or in other words, a lack of sex starves a guy of intimacy, so he doesn't feel like being intimate)...

... which leads to a woman feeling that lack of intimacy, which is an esential precursor to sex - so the sex doesn't happen...

.. which leads to the guy feeling a lack of intimacy... and around and around and around we go.

The solution? There are a three which people traditionally fall back on.
* Affairs (get what you need elsewhere, be it intimacy, sex or both...)
* Help - counselling... but this is an ocassion to bring out the big guns. Call someone with a degree, not someone that's done the 6 week block course because they think they're good at listening and they might have a go...
* Separate

In the end, any relationship that is not what it purported to originally be is going to struggle. Marrying someone that then refused to engage in a sexual relationship is called tying yourself to a freind... (without benefits).

OUCH

Not tonight Josephine....:nono:

Something to ponder - How difficult would it be do you think, to be in a close and otherwise loving relationship where the male was not even remotely interested in sex? We hear a lot from men about their frustration levels experienced when their partners for whatever reason decline to participate in or generally show a complete disinterest in sex, but we (or I) rarely hear of the reverse. Or do we?

I was guilty of watching an episode or two of Shortland Street that other day where one of the characters claimed to be 'asexual' the definition of which (as given by the ever informative Wikipedia site (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asexuality)) describes asexual individuals as those 'who do not experience sexual attraction' as opposed to celibacy where one selectively 'chooses' not to be sexually active.

If you were a circumspect and moral person and did not wish to engage in pre-marital sex (yes I can see where you would get the idea that my thinking is old fashioned and therefore irrelevant in this day and age - but to carry the thought through), became engaged and married to a chap without realising that he wasn't just being celibate and / or respecting your wishes, morals, standards - how would you feel? Understanding? Sympathetic? Angry? Frustrated to all hell? Gypped? Murderous?

If it was the latter options, what would you do about it? Given that you married the chap because presumably you loved and cared about him - would you forego the sex - accept the situation and take the matter 'in hand'? Would you stay and have affairs? (and if you did would you be circumspect about it)? Would you read up everything you could about the subject and perhaps push for an element of counselling to try and resolve the situation? Or would you leave because a sexually barren life was not what you signed up for?

Just how important is the sexual aspect of a relationship to you as a woman? There are obviously cases where because of illness and or accidents where sex is not an option but this question is outside of that kind of scenario, as is the option of knowing beforehand and marrying anyway (awareness implies acceptance).

:devil2:

Personally I have enjoyed a sex free relationship....much prefer it and ended my last relationship because she wanted too much sex..not saying it was not nice but at same time did not did it for me....

But hey that is just me

You'd have to be pretty stupid to marry someone with a significant difference in sexual interest level.

Of course, people's health and circumstances change over the years, but that's just life, isn't it, and not what we're talking about here.

Presumably all of the above.

Yep deception as mentioned elsewhere is not an option...


I would expect that prior to making a lifetime commitment to him the subject of children/sex/beliefs/interests would have been discussed, and some common ground established and agreements made. Unlikely I would agree to a sexless marriage, therefore if I did not know I was marrying a bloke that had no interest in sex, he lied to me by ommission I would be very angry and the relationship would be over in a flash.

Back to the original topic-kind of. I lived with a girlfriend for 2.5yrs in London during which time she became less interested in sex all the time, using different excuses all the time to the point where I wanted out of the relationship. Because of the circumstances, I decided to let her dump me, that way we would have both felt better about the parting.[True story, it turned out that way too!] Anyhow, I decided to withhold sexual "favours" to get the ball rolling. Or not, as the case may be! It took 3 months before she asked me to make love to her that night. I told her that I didn't feel like it and went downstairs to watch telly. I had no idea how devastated she would be and the subsequent conversation was a tearjerker for her that's for sure! I said to her;"Now you know how I feel when you consistently withhold" or words to that effect. Needless to say, I got dumped as I wanted all along and was happily single again. Absolute believer in the Try before you buy, and have to say that sex without love is very forgettable, often regrettable.

There was always a rule that the guy HAD to come in side and meet me. The meeting meant, and my daughter was aware, that he had to look me in the eye and shake my hand. If he couldn't do that, he wouldn't last long. My daughter used to hate when I told her that was the rule of dating, but very quickly she used it to weed out any turds that wanted to be involved with her.
I told one guy who was a bit of a smart ass that my daughter was the most precious thing in my life and I'd have no compulsion killing anyone who harmed her, in any way. I said it totally straight faced and then turned and walked out of the room. Later she told me he apparently got so freaked out, she said he didn't want to leave the house. After that everything was "Hello Sir, thank you Sir." We both laughed about that one.

We sure do! My eldest daughter, maybe 15 at the time had this boyfriend who used to leave these huge hickeys on her neck (that is the teenager sex without having sex thing I think) anyway... I told them both I thought it looked trashy and revolting and to at least put them somewhere where they could not be seen! :o In the end I used to take this lad out to the kitchen, open the pantry and get out the bread and peanut butter and offer him a sandwich if he was that hungry...LOL

Honest and open with your kids is the secret, respect follows no problem. Building their self esteem is the key here, if they respect themselves and have your support they will be fine :yes:


Same result with up the bum - no babies .......:devil2:

You seen those friggen religious zealots in the States? They take these no sex/celibicy pacts and even have a bit of a ceremony complete with a ring to say they wont have sex before marriage. These kids have anal sex at the drop of a hat, because in theory the hymen is intact therefore a technical virgin can go to the alter......Sickos!

I prefer the open, honest approach myself.

Amen sister! You're absolutely right! What flips me out is kids get pregnant and think nothing of it. They forget that if you can get pregnant, you can get AIDS along with a whole alphabet soup of sexually transmitted diseases. Unwanted kids are enough to deal with, but other stuff kills!

Honest and open is the only way to go. Anything else is just a life waster. :niceone:

Funny you should mention that. I was a bit that way inclined and preferred to form an emotional bond before doing the wild thing. Though from my experience, the jump right in the sack relationships have all worked out better for me. I think deep down I never really wanted that "good girl" and actually prefer a chick that's been around the block a few times. They know what they want and have no trouble asking for it! Works out for everyone!:2thumbsup

I'm not trying to be the romantic and my wife doesn't read this, but I've been married for 15 years and it gets better all the time. No holes(?) barred, full on sex is the only way to go. It's even better when you love her. Love lets that inner "slut" come screaming out, again and again and again! Its all part of that open and honest thing. :rockon:

Unfortunately, some people, due to cultural upbringing, etc., spend so much time and energy saying "NO" that "YES" doesn't happen easily (if at all) and they are stuck in "NO" mode and therefore are unfulfilled, literally.

There was always a rule that the guy HAD to come in side and meet me. The meeting meant, and my daughter was aware, that he had to look me in the eye and shake my hand. If he couldn't do that, he wouldn't last long. My daughter used to hate when I told her that was the rule of dating, but very quickly she used it to weed out any turds that wanted to be involved with her.
I told one guy who was a bit of a smart ass that my daughter was the most precious thing in my life and I'd have no compulsion killing anyone who harmed her, in any way. I said it totally straight faced and then turned and walked out of the room. Later she told me he apparently got so freaked out, she said he didn't want to leave the house. After that everything was "Hello Sir, thank you Sir." We both laughed about that one.
Gotta take care of the ones we love! :yes:

Oh he would hear you all right but nowhere near as loud as the little voice connected to his testicles which was only on mute while you were talking to him anyway!

It may not please you to think about it but daughters are wired up for sound from their own little bag of tricks down there too.

When those voices start talking up their little lines of patter and get synchronized, your shotgun is nothing but a distant memory!

You wouldn't have missed your own experiences of love and life, why should you deny your children theirs.

We can only warn them about the pitfalls and give them their freedom, our support and a place to come back to no matter what the outcome is, unconditionally.

Fortunately ours have made it and now we are watching theirs go through it and I can tell you, it gets more terrifying each time! :eek5: John.

As for the topic, marrying a chap to then discover he has no interest in sex at all.....it happens. Not often these days but there are shy couples who are nevertheless in love and wait for the honeymoon. At which point one discovers that sex just doesn't work for them.

There can be all sorts of reasons - physical pain, lack of lubrication, lack of gentleness, psychological barriers. Whatever, the person with the problem needs to get some help. The big difficulty is recognising it is a problem at all - the person who doesn't feel the sexual drive won't see any problem to fix.

In a normal marriage, sexual activity is expected and is part of a loving relationship. To accept no sex is a very big ask - and for 99% of couples, is a disaster. It will lead to bitterness, frustration, and probably infidelity. If the problem cannot be healed, get out.

Having said that, there are famous cases of platonic marriages where one person took lovers with the agreement of the other.

Dr SPB prescribes the following:

Spend a night in Auckland pub crawling
Get Really drunk
Pick-up a really slutty women
Travel to the Turkish cafe on K rd, order a donor kebab full of red meat and two short blacks. While consuming your snack smoke a hublee bublee and abuse the dodgy prossies and cross dresses traveling past.
Get into a punch-up with one of the cross dressers [keep it real!]
Find a rave or dance party
Dance all night with the slut. Drink lots of water to stabilise your alcoholic haze.
As day light returns take the slut up to the grave yard at the top of K rd.
Fuck her-hard, short and dirty.
Great advice, and from experience I can say the testosterone flows freely for some considerable time after the event.

Actually, in all seriousness, both alcohol and sleep deprivation are terrible for a guy's testosterone levels.

A lifting session at the gym followed by a low-carb dinner and an early night would have lifted the ol' T-juice; that dissipated bender probably hammered it way down for several days.

Still sounds like fun but.

You didn't give the details, like she wasn't interested but was willing to change, but it sounds like a great example of how not to listen to your partner. When the person says they are not interested in sex, there should be no frustration from the other partner not getting any sex because they said they weren't interested right up front.
Its like when a guy/girl says right up front they aren't interested in a committed relationship or wanting to have sex. Time goes on and the other person gets all upset. They said it right up front. I guess it gets back to listening to what people say, being honest and open. :hug:

As for the not trying before you buy there are still some God squad out there who do not advocate sex before marriage and some other behaviours too. Believe me I have 3 cousins who have been brought up 'knowing'/ being indoctrinated that sex before marriage is wrong/ a sin and as far as I know my poor uncle didn't get any before marrying his fruit loop bible bashing wife.

All I can say is I hope that the poor lads are happy waiting to get some once married and that thier partners are of the same ilk so that noone is disappointed!!

I can understand your opinion, and suspect that it is widely held. I wish to offer a counterpoint.

I was still a virgin on my wedding night. I was 23.

Yep, I avoided sex due to my faith. And twenty-five years later, my wife remains the only woman I have ever slept with. Do I have any regrets? Not when my wife tells me that my virginity/sexual purity remains the most precious gift I have ever given her. Even when I've done something dumb (fortunately quite rare these days!), she will still reflect on that gift and generally/eventually forgive me.

I had plenty of clues during our engagement to assure me that my future wife was equally keen on sex! Without those clues, I probably would have re-thought things.....

Virginity gets bad press these days, and is often derided in movies and popular culture. The truth is quite different. In my opinion, it demonstrates self-control in a tangible way and makes it easier to expect faithfulness and build sexual trust/integrity after the rings are exchanged.

Our physical relationship has fluctuated in frequency over the years, but it has always remained an important part of our marriage. If anything, our physical relationship is better now than it's ever been.

I guess the telling question would be: would I change things if I had the opportunity to do it all again?

No way.

YMMV etc

Good on ya for sticking to your beliefs. You have to be true to yourself, IMHO.

I have a question, and please know I am not attacking yours or anyones beliefs. Why do many religious sects/denominations say not to have sex before marriage? I can understand the logic in the old days (pre-birth control) that you didn't want to have a bunch of kids, so abstinence was promoted and that you wanted to know who the father was for inheritance, support, etc. but other than that it seems more emotion/dogma based. Even in comparative religion courses I have taken, the answer always seems to get emotional as opposed to some other reason than those I mention above. As far as I ever saw, it wasn't in the ten commandments, which are the foundation for the whole Judeo/Christian/Islamic faiths.
I don't know much about Buddhism or other religions, as it goes.
Do you know? Again, I am not attacking you or anyones beliefs. As you'll note from my previous posts on this thread, I am all for standing by your values and beliefs, of which I have plenty of.
I have some good friends who are very religious and even when we have spoken of it they get all tweaked, like questioning isn't ok. Even "It's in the Bible and I believe it" would be a fine answer, I just never found that part in the bible, if its there. But, I may be wrong in how I interpreted it or didn't read it right. :eek5:

Great link. Answered that question pretty well.

"The views of religions and religious believers range widely, from holding that sex and the flesh are evil to the belief that sex is the highest expression of the divine. Views on sexuality may not even be shared among adherents of a particular sect. Some religions distinguish between sexual activities that are practiced for biological reproduction (sometimes allowed only when in formal marital status and at a certain age), and other activities practiced for sexual pleasure as immoral.

Although a popular hypothesis holds that a high degree of societal religiosity correlates with lower rates of non-monogamous sexual activity, a 2005 summary of various studies found that rates of sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, and early adolescent pregnancy are in fact lower in secular societies."

Yeah, you could call me "religious" I suppose. I have a faith, and no, I'm not bothered by questions. I occasionally stumble to answer clearly or concisely, so I can tend to waffle a bit until I eventually get to the point...

As far as scripture verses are concerned, I don't have any references to hand but there are verses in the new testament that refer to sexual self-control, and suggesting marriage if you are "burning with lust" or something similar. Promiscuity and adultery are predictably also no-no's. Sexual purity is a recurring theme.

Not everyone will agree with the choices I've made, and that's OK. I'm not suggesting it's for everyone, and frankly it's none of my business how others choose to live their lives. It worked for me, but I can see that it could potentially end in tears for others. Perhaps I hadn't made that clear enough with my earlier post, as I've noticed I've been red-blinged for it....

I simply offer my opinion on the premise that there is an alternative that avoids a lot of emotional and physical baggage being brought into a marriage.

About 80% of divorces end in marriage - to someone else. Of those remarriages, the biggest single reason for the subsequent marriage failing was unresolved issues from the previous relationship.

As far as sex is concerned, good sex is usually the product of a good relationship, not the reason. If areas of the relationship such as emotional needs, respect and trust are functioning well, and other areas such as finances, accommodation, jobs, family, and outside friendships are OK, then sex is usually very good. If good sex is one of only a few areas functioning well, then the relationship often doesn't last long.

As the yanks would say, your mileage may vary!

I do tend to think that many people that don't have a good "moral compass" end up with a lot of baggage that they bring into relationships and carry around with them in their lives which may keep them from functioning to their highest potential. What a good "moral compass" is is totally subjective, which makes free choice, logic and life, so interesting.

As a "yank" I thought I'd share this with you as well:
What's a Yankee? The same as a quickie, but a guy does it alone... :laugh:

As far as sex is concerned, good sex is usually the product of a good relationship, not the reason.

So true! Dont worry about the knockers, each to their own is my motto.

I agree with you about the baggage in our lives. We all have it, and we drag it around with us, sometimes grizzling about it, other times resigning ourselves to it as "our lot". If it gets really bad we might do something about it under duress......

My baggage wasn't from previous relationships or marriages, since I never seriously dated anyone else before meeting my wife. Mine was from my upbringing, my culture, my parents, all sorts of things. These things all affected my relationship with my wife in subtle (and not so subtle!) ways by influencing my attitudes and expectations. Those things are mostly now either dealt with or under some control, although perhaps my wife would be a better judge of that!!

And thanks Mom for your encouragement!

My last gf I felt that way about...

So maybe you can be attached to someone for their support and personality, but not neccessarily have the urg to grab them and let them know in no uncertain terms you want it and want it now!

I have a question, and please know I am not attacking yours or anyones beliefs. Why do many religious sects/denominations say not to have sex :Offtopic:before marriage? I can understand the logic in the old days (pre-birth control) that you didn't want to have a bunch of kids, so abstinence was promoted and that you wanted to know who the father was for inheritance, support, etc. but other than that it seems more emotion/dogma based.

The deeper answer is that as social structures have evolved, so have rules developed to bring stability to the structure. In prehistory a tribe of 12 people were an extended family and didn't need many rules. But when tribes became large, and then villages arose, it became important to know your wife was bearing your child. You wouldn't want to raise another man's genetic offspring.

Sexual restriction also meant a woman, tied down with child rearing, could rely upon her husband to keep coming back to her if he wasn't allowed to be sexually active elsewhere.

It also yielded a more peaceful and stable community because men could go hunting secure in the knowledge their wives weren't making merry with other men. Wives felt more secure knowing their husbands couldn't easily find a replacement.

Primitive religion was the method of generating rules (laws), just as religions seek to teach moral laws today.

All part of evolutionary psychology.

Mom - Glad you liked the "Yankee" joke. My Dad was from Toronto, so I am half-Canadian! The sensible half, as my wife has told me on so many occasions... :spanking:
