Sex!

[Treznor]

I don't think anyone can argue against the statement that humans are obsessed with sex. We're obsessed with having it, fantasizing about it or worrying about who is doing what to whom. It permeates our conversations, our politics, our literature and especially our advertising. So, as I'm sure has been done so many times before, let's get NSG's take on it: where do you stand on sex?

I am an unabashed hedonist. I see no point in repressing sex for religion or morality's sake, but I recognize the need for caution in sex regarding hygenic and emotional pitfalls. I don't see the point in telling two, three or fifty consenting adults who they can or can't have sex with, or how they can engage in it. I think it's a physical, emotional and mental union that can be as frivolous as a cheap thrill and as meaningful as a lasting relationship. I don't think sex can be restricted to any one thing, but can encompass whatever meaning we choose to assign to it.

[RightLeaningChristians]

I voted for Rigorous Boundaries.


Sex only after Marriage imo.

Do whatever the fuck you want so long as you're both (or all 4 of you or however many there are) consenting and you're not waving it (lolinnuendo potential) in people's faces.

Sex should be as free and open as we can make it. Humans crave a little chaos, I know I do. I myself am bisexual, but thats just me. I have nothing against anyone so I dont care what soem of the...stranger...people do.

Would you impose that belief on others, if you should happen to be in a position where you could do so?

[New Olwe]

Well, most of you probably already know where I stand on the issue.

For those who don't, I like the way Treznor phrased it... I'm an unabashed hedonist.

I also feel that monogamy is a form of slavery, since jealous people tend to treat each other as property. Not only that, but repressing the urge to take multiple partners denies nature. You think gays caused Hurricane Katrina? No, married people did.

I never understood what's so great in massively disappointing each other on the wedding night, but hey, if that floats your boat, go for it.

[Cirona]

proudly 100% virgin

anyway, well, yes, do whatever you want, just as long as it is legal and you both are fine with it. Just be safe and wear a condom! Better to be safe than sorry! Even if you have a child before marriage, take responsibility!

[Kryozerkia]

Provided it is consensual, then anything goes. Consent is my only restriction. That and the ability to willingly give consent.

Depends what position that is.

I am the leader of a Theocratic Country? If so, than Yes.

I am the head chairman of High School Football Moral Requirements? Then, No.

You Americans never shut up about Hurricane Katrina, it happened 5 years ago, it was bad, woopdy friggin doo.

My stance on sex is that human sexual relations are complicated enough without adding a bunch of arbitrary cultural or religious baggage.

I also feel that monogamy is a form of slavery, since jealous people tend to treat each other as property. Not only that, but repressing the urge to take multiple partners denies nature.

Out of curiosity:

Do you believe there are no people who feel "naturally" inclined toward monogamy?

Don't know about that poster, but I personally would say, yes probably.
But I would treat it as a question of nature vs nurture... it's hard to say who naturally tends towards monogamy, and who is just imitating social standards.

[Kobrania]

I have no sexual boundaries.

[Warhaven]

Well, my stance should be obvious based on how I voted.

Multiple answers selected.

Yes please!
Only within extreme rigorous boundaries.
Anything goes.
Anyone goes.

.....

After all, sex isn't fun unless someone is unable to sit and/or walk properly for the next few days.

Then you're a complete bigot.

Hey now, No flaming, not even with someone with victorian sexual stances.

Sorry, but if your living in my nation ruled by religion, your following that religion.

No need for name-calling. And the word isn't bigot, it's intolerant.

Does it count if I worship you?

I find your lack of freedom...disturbing. My nation is a greek theocracy yet anyone can worship anything they want, to a certain extent. (As in no religious strife bullshit or euthanasia relocation occurs...

Out of curiosity:

I believe that everybody's different, and that certainly there's probably someone, somewhere, who feels that way. But considering the likelihood that it's actually a moral decision on their part rather than a natural one, I'd say my answer to your question is yes. Monogamy is an abomination created by puritanical moralists, not the natural way humans were intended to live.

I think there are people who are "serial monogamists" by nature. They become completely infatuated with one person, and are exclusively interested in that person, for a year or two. Then they cease being interested in that person and move on to another relationship.

That counts as "monogamy" in my book, since at any given time they have only one partner. Life-long monogamy is a whole other story.

Hmm. We may have to make some arrangements.

No, I'd probably join the uprising, assuming you weren't assassinated on day 1.
