I believe that sex was originally intended for marriage as a way of procreation as well as for pleasure. Not knowing the sexuality of your partner is not a crime. In fact, it is better that you don't know that about a person befor you marry them so that it will be the most special moment the first time you do it. Unless it isn't, in which case you have something of a problem, don't you? Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

And the "eaters of raw meat" thing is probably apocryphal, but you still shouldn't call them eskimos. Happy to help. dodges rotten fruit Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, February 28 2004 19:10 Profile Homepage #18 quote: Originally written by Sir Motrax of Exile: Thuryl, please don't generalize the "sex after marriage crowd." I beleive sex before marriage greatly diminishes the whole emotional aspect of the act, but that's just how I view it. I don't care what other people do in their bedrooms (or offices, or vans, or broom closets, or whatever), and it's none of my business anyway. No need to get defensive. I often find myself in agreement with you when I'm in one of my more prudish moods. I was speaking more of those who want to ban various forms of extramarital sex, or failing that make social outcasts of those who use it. I have no reason to change the opinions of people who aren't planning to use their opinions for anything anyway. So far as I know, though, neither of us have ever married, so I'm not sure we're qualified to give an opinion. All I can really add is that most of the married people I know (of both sexes) pretty soon started to view sex as an obligation rather than a pleasure. Anyway, even if sex after marriage is better, is less sex in exchange for possible better sex really a good tradeoff? How far do you want to go with that? If you knew you could only have sex once in your entire life, that one time would certainly be an emotional experience, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't rather have sex more than once.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, February 27 2004 22:49 Profile Homepage #2 Frankly, I suspect the no-sex-before-marriage crowd is motivated by a mixture of moral panic and disgust at difference. If they were sincere about believing sex to be only for procreation, they'd sermonise against sex between a man and his pregnant wife as well. I don't think I've heard anybody speak out against that particular form of sexual activity, even though it obviously can't lead to pregnancy. Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, February 27 2004 16:22 Profile Homepage #13 Well, let me put it this way. Suppose you think a friend has a serious problem with alcohol. Your friend denies it, claiming to be just a social drinker. Would you just let your friend kill himself with alcohol on the basis that you had no right to interfere, or would you try to help by whatever means you could, even if he didn't appreciate your help at the time? How is the situation different when you think they have a serious sinning problem instead? As far as I can see, any Christian who believes non-Christians go to hell and doesn't try to convert them is a hypocrite. Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00
