Sex!

[Smunkeeville]

I don't see how it's a strawman argument.

I saw it as one, and jumped on it. I'm willing to admit I might've been wrong. *shrugs*

Why are certain sexual urges deemed "unnatural" and others "natural"? Why is monogamy any less natural than the urge to punch someone in the face?

Monogamy is unnatural because of sexual urges. As long as we are attracted to multiple people, it will be unnatural for us to limit ourselves to only one. Lust is there so we can act on it. It is a divine gift, which many people waste.

I'm only attracted to the one person though.

No no, Smunk, you're just brainwashed by culture/religion/whatever to THINK you feel that way. You don't actually feel the way you think you feel, you actually feel the way a total stranger tells you that you feel.

But Bottle none of the other boys have the right amount of chest hair that's the right texture and they're all ICKY because of that!!!!!!!!

I am a virgin...

Most people decided to quote this message to see if I reveal further information or contradict what I said in the post, in big letters. Or if I am going to explain why I am lying, (in the case I am lying indeed). I guess they would also look for explanations of my sarcasm. There are none so far. If you read this, sorry for wasting your time

I'm confused.

And slightly aroused.

Anything goes if everything's consensual

[Angleter]

As per the State: Do what you want, it's nothing to do with us.

As per my own beliefs: Do what you want but just try to avoid one-night stands, you'll only regret it.

EDIT: Or indeed, forget it.

That's just one boundary.

[Muravyets]

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.

Uh...yeah, pretty much ditto. Thank you for doing my work for me.

Isn't that your standard state of being?

I've had a few one-night stands. I remember all of their names. Of course, I don't have sex drunk or high, so that might have something to do with it.

[Jello Biafra]

Yes, please, only within extremely rigorous boundaries.

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.

Appeal to nature fallacy.

I watch porn. does that count?

[Muravyets]

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.

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.

I'm a serial monogamist, very much so. I have never been seriously interested in more than one person at a time, and when I'm hooked on one guy, it's like I just don't even see other guys. When my feelings towards the guy of the moment fade, wow! -- suddenly there are all these other men in the world.

As to life-long monogamy, I personally think that's a matter of the luck of the relationship draw, in that two people will likely stick solely with each other for an indefinite time up to their whole lives, IF they are not only good together sexually but ALSO very good friends.

However, I do believe that a lot of life-long relationships actually tolerate occasional episodes of infidelity which just never get talked about much.

Sex only after Marriage imo.

What's the practicality of that, in your opinion? If you can explain without referring to religious dogma more the better, since I don't view "god told me so" as a practical reason.

What if you marry someone and find out you're completely dissatisfied or incompatible with them sexually? What if you wish you'd had more experience before, to keep things smooth and interesting with the one you want to be with, concievably, forever?

for me, not answering for RLC, it's because I view sex as an intimate act. a giving of oneself to another. when I find that special someone, I certainly don't want to give a used gift.

Do you base your marriage only on Sex? So what happens when Impotence sets in? do you get a divorce? buy a lifetime supply of little blue pills?

What if you wish you'd had more experience before, to keep things smooth and interesting with the one you want to be with, concievably, forever?

if you are a virgin, then wouldn't sex be new, interesting, and an adventure with that person? imagine, experiencing new things with someone you love.

the choice to with hold oneself until marriage doesn't have to be a religious one. and this is *MY* choice. if I find that significant other used to be a prostitute or porn star (hey... it's possible...) I certainly won't hold her to my standards or choices when it comes to sex. she made hers and if I love her, then I love her.

[Kobrania]

I first time you have sex is crap, you are sloppy, she/he is sloppy and it is all one big embarrassment.

My advice, date a slut, at least she/he knows what to do.

Cannot negate the fact that somehow, Treznor is the only I know, (although not personally), to be able to mix the "dirty old man", the "dandy gentleman", and the "smooth operator" stereotypes perfectly, with coherency. And that's something.

He's dirty and a gentleman, all wrapped up into one.
