Sex is vulgar? I wonder how many people here agree with that statement.


vulgar comes from the latin adjective vulgaris which means common, if i am not mistaken.
So yup, sex is pretty common


I'm pretty sure that vulgaris actually roughly translates to "of the common people", which is a more polite way of saying "lower class" or "scum"...

Well, that would depend upon what you consider to be vulgar. Certainly many of the things people may or may not be inclined to yell would be widely considered vulgar, no? And the fact that we are at best allowed to hint at sex on TV would include that as something that is commonly considered "vulgar" by the general population...

Ironically enough, my current reasons for remaining single boil down to the same thing by some interpretations. "I haven't met anyone I found attractive who I'd consider spending my life with" does basically translate as "YOU'RE ALL UGLY AND UNWORTHY OF MY PENIS."

I hope we'll be friends again, one day. When we're both a bit less messed up.

...And by 'just', I literally mean we worked that out that it was all gone in the last few hours. :( I wouldn't be spilling nearly this much I bet otherwise. *wibbles*


I'll... just be going now, because most won't care and the rest will wish I hadn't been so depressing.


Cheer up. There are too many people out there as to throw the towel for one, as callous as it may sound. Let it rest is a good idea, time helps to forget everything. Everything comes to pass. I'm out of jokes right now to cheer you up, and I cannot make funny faces over the internet so....




And about me? Well, I am all about casual. I don't think I will be in a relationship again, I suppose something broke with my hormones. I enforce the three-times-rule with anyone, and only one extra chance to dispel anything that could have been lfet undone. I enforce it to myself and to others. I do not let me to feel any emotional attachment to physical partners, I leave that for my friends and family.

I feel emotional an emotional attachment to my friends and family and it's wonderful. I seek to feel that same attachment to a partner. I no longer see any point in having sex without at least some sort of emotional attraction.

I am in love with a wonderful woman who for some reason loves me back and has been with me for almost five years. I'm beginning to have doubts about her sanity.

It's a somewhat long distance relationship, as we attend different universities. I'm close enough to see her every few weeks or so, but not more than that. The situation should improve after I graduate.

Here is an example you might understand.

I have a really good friend. We met when we were neighbors back at my old apartment complex. At the time, I was dating someone, and I wouldn't let anything happen between us, although it was obvious she had a thing for me. Being neighbors, we hung out a lot, often away from my girlfriend at the time, and she became a good friend and a confidante in woman matters.

About 7-8 months ago, I broke up with my girlfriend, and life went on as usual between my friend and I. One night, however, we were hanging out at a friends and drinking and just having a good time, and we ended up going home together. This repeated for several weeks, maybe three or so months.

Now, while we enjoyed the sex and it came to be habit that we would just go home together, it was always understood that we would not take it to another level, as we had come to like hanging out like friends too much to jeopardize that with a relationship. Relationships bring jealousy, commitments, constant presence, and other dynamics that neither of us thought would be good for our friendship.

In the end we always continued to hang out as friends would do, yet at the end of the night would go home for a round of drunken sex. I am not saying that way works for everyone, but I can say that right now we are both seeing different people, and while it can be awkward at times, we remain very good friends and hang out (without the sex) regularly.


As for me, I am in a long distance relationship right now, which is bad in ways and good in ways, but mostly just tries my saintly patience. I am emotionally committed to this girl, I trust her, and I enjoy the times we hang out. We can go 2-3 weeks at a time without seeing each other, however, and that really tests my physical commitment. I have been severely tempted on a couple of occasions.

I am not entirely sure it is a choice.

I find more and more that those people who say that they do not let themselves get an emotional attachment mainly try to consciously overcome their natural propensities for "falling" for someone. They are usually the most likely to end up falling for someone.

You may be an exception to that, its just an observation.

And a "three-times rule" is just a shame. You are probably cutting off the best part of it.

damn, boy! you can't go 2-3 weeks?

Humm... I was in a pretty serious relationship, about 3 months ago. Really fucked me up in the end, although I wouldn't take back having gone through it. The most hurtful part is the bs "we'll be friends no matter what". Bah... Don't believe it. ever.

Currently, sort of have a thing with some girl... meh, its over the internet, so it barely counts. :blush:
I don't think I really want to keep it up, since shes boring me and I don't think is all that interested in me as a person... doesn't really make sense, does it? But when have relationships promised that?

To be honest, for me that is the friend with benefits. I would not call my fuckbuddies "good friends", though we indeed do more than being rabbits ;)
