Stugri-La Guardian Member # 3521	written Tuesday, March 2 2004 17:54 Profile #40 Well, perception is everything. No one kicks up a huge fuss over the mating of horses and donkeys for the production of mules, but the idea of sexual relations between a human, and say, a chimpanzee will inspire revulsion in most humans. And, interestingly enough, humans and chimps are, I believe, more closely related genetically than are horses and donkeys. Go figure, I suppose. I find apes to be not the slightest bit attractive, at any rate -------------------- "Let a man find himself, in distinction from others, on top of two wheels with a chain- at least in a poor country like Russia- and his vanity begins to swell out like his tires.

BoThra Apprentice Member # 4024	written Tuesday, March 2 2004 18:24 Profile Homepage #42 Label me as you may, but I believe in sex after marriage. If you marry just for the sex you will most likely be dissapointed in the other's personality. I have dated quite a few girls, and even though at many a time I wanted to have sex, I realized that had I done it, my relationship with that girl would have ended there. If you marry the person with their personality in mind, and their values and morals and what they believe about life, then sex won't be a huge issue and I believe that you can enjoy it more. I've done research, and one of the most frequent reasons for divorce was that two people got married because the other was good in bed and that was the only thought in mind. Later, when they really got to know the other person, they decided that even thought the sex life was good, that they really had nothing else in common with the other person. Therefore resulting in the divorce. However, people marrying with the other person's feelings, beliefs, personality in mind are far more likely to stay together and enjoy their marriage. That includes sex. I encourage people to really think about what I just said. I used to believe that sex wasn't a big deal and why wait until marriage? But I sat down with someone one day and they told me why they believed sex after marriage was better than before. I didn't want to hear it at first and bitterly disagreed. However, when I thought in depth about what they said, it changed my beliefs and now I want to provide the opportunity for others to look at a different perspective. -------------------- ~~Here comes the Thnikka Man~~ Posts: 14 \| Registered: Monday, February 23 2004 08:00

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. -------------------- ~~Here comes the Thnikka Man~~ Posts: 14 \| Registered: Monday, February 23 2004 08:00

Sir David Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Member # 919	written Tuesday, March 2 2004 18:56 Profile #46 Djur, I see what you're saying, but you've got to remember, people are idiots. Some are less idiotic than others, but we really are idiots. I find that the couples that married for personality, etc. and abstained from sex before marriage say things like "I am married to the most wonderful person in the world, I just wish he was better in bed" whereas those who have sex before marriage say things like "He's great in bed, but outside of the bedroom I can't stand him because (insert complaints here)". Basically, those who marry without knowledge of their partner's bedroom qualities don't care too much if they find out later that their partner has no skill whatsoever. Those who marry with that knowledge marry for the sex, not the personality, and certainly do care later when they realize that their partner's bedroom qualities are their only good qualities. I know that this is not always the case, but just look at divorce rates in this country; most people do not find their soul mate, or the best person for them if you don't believe in soul mates. And why is that? Their minds are clouded by pleasure, plain and simple. 85% of Americans have had sex by the time they are married; the divorce rate is, what, 50%? Somewhere around there. They're both up, anyway, and I don't think they're unrelated. -------------------- And though the musicians would die, the music would live on in the imaginations of all who heard it. -The Last Pendragon TEH CONSPIRACY IZ ALL Les forum de la chance.

You see, having never had sex, you haven't the slightest idea what you're talking about. Sex is a major part of any romantic relationship. If it isn't any good, the relationship suffers. I think the big issue with the abstinence crowd is that they don't really know how bad sex can be. And it is possible for such problems to be unresolvable. Especially if one partner has a special preference that the other finds repugnant. -------------------- You are my precious thing Thing of speed and beauty, You are my precious thing As long as you remain beneath me -- Big Black Posts: 999 \| Registered: Friday, June 27 2003 07:00
ef Guardian Member # 2476	written Wednesday, March 3 2004 00:12 Profile #49 If you planned a long sailing trip - sailing around the world - you would expect yourself to be a knowledgable and practised sailor, wouldn't you. You would also want to know your ship, its machinery, behaviour, reaction and your own interaction with it. You'd prepare yourself for the challenge of meeting the unexpected and the unknown. So tell me why in life - planning the adventure of marriage - inexperience and lack of knowledge should be an advantage. You have to learn yourself and your partner which involves learning how to react to each other, to listen, to be aware. You've got to learn that on every level, physical, emotional, mental. Otherwise you may end up abusing your partner without even knowing it or feel abused yourself. Maybe it all comes down to how many aspects of yourself you are willing to confront and explore. And how much honesty and sharing you are willing and capable to open yourself to.
