We had to sit on the stairs until Dad rolled his butt out of bed, and we whispered and tried to sneak peeks around the corner at our presents. Then we had to eat cinnamon rolls and an orange before we could open our stockings.

There was always a reading of "The Night Before Christmas" on Christmas Eve.

Jesus gets a birthday cake every year.

I'm really surprised not to hear contrary opinions on the subject. The whole love before sex discussion. I would welcome real life stories from both sides.

or get a rabbit..... so worth the 150.00 :tongue:


laugh Too funny.



There are couples and married people who have less trust and caring in their sex life...


I so agree with this.

This may be a little TMI, but it might help someone else in my same situation so I'm gonna expand a bit here.......

I've thought a lot on this subject, and for me....it's coming down to feeling like a woman again. I spend so much time taking care of all the people and things in my life, I have very little time left to just be a intimate being. I'm not sure if this would do it, but I think it's possible that having a little bit of the basic flesh related communications between a man and woman might help. I seriously think lack of sexual intimacy can begin to make someone bitter. I'm not desperate for a relationship right now, so it could be a LONG time before it happens.

Maybe knocking the dust off with a consenting partner could be just the pick me up needed! laugh

Are we talking of a mutual match of gratification???


HA! Well, sort of.

Well, I guess if it's that good, you just ask for a second course....laugh

I would normally have said no to my own question, but I'm seriously rethinking the whole idea. Two consenting adults who choose to share time together COULD include intimacy with no expectations of anything else....however, I just don't know how muddled that line would be. There would definitely have to be a lot of trust involved.

Ah, now that I got your attention......

Is there ever a time when a one night stand, or a "date" with the sole intention of ending it intimately is a good thing (as long as both parties are fully aware)?

Could it actually be cathartic to have sex with no expectations other than to please each other in that moment?

I'm not talking get drunk and regrets in the morning kind of thing. More like filling a void for each other.

Your thoughts?

I'm 36, and for the past year and a half, I have evaluated my life. See, I feel I am still in my prime, that I have alot to offer, and that my future is going to flat out fun and awesome. I do have my challenges because the future is a scary thing. But I embrace it because I have found solace in the fact that

1. I am growing as a person, meaning I have evolved and that I look at things in so many different ways.

2. I believe that I will make a difference in people's lives. I try to make people laugh and smile on this site, and if I do that, then I have accomplished what I set out to do.

3. I believe I will fall in love again..someday. But I am also ok if I never do. But then again...I am so freaking awesome that whomever the lady is that nabs me should feel darn special.laugh laugh

I had to just accept that I needed to evolve as a human being, and that I have so much to offer this world. Maybe it is writing a post that helps someone deal with a situation. Maybe it is just a smile and conversation to someone, making there day and restoring their faith in people. Whatever it is, I have embraced that I am still gonna be me. I like my alone time, but I also want to give myself to a special woman. I also want to make a difference in people's lives. These things mean something to me, and instead of just sitting by, I am ready to kick things in gear. It is alot of change, and as I said, it is scary. But I am so looking forward to the journey.


Best post of the day thus far and it was SO nice to hear you speaking from the heart!!

Can we just stop messing up the joys of childhood and forcing children to become adults too soon? Kids love Santa Claus and the belief that their dreams can come true!!
Halloween is not the same cause some idiots put razor blades in apples years ago.
Now we want to take away letters to Santa!!
Next, we will be taking away Disney and Cartoons because they are not REAL!!

Yet as adults we can have SciFi movies and go on dating sites believing that we will meet the right person. Why? Because as human beings we like to believe that dreams can come true.

Sorry about the rant but I am so tired of kids being forced to grow up to soon!!!


Thank you sista!!!

What the heck is wrong with allowing children to have a little hope and faith in things that can't be "proven". If you can remain emotionless when you see a child's eyes light up at Christmas time when they write a letter to Santa or when they come down the stairs on Christmas day......then there is something seriously wrong. IMO, life should not always be about facts and truths and using every opportunity to dispel traditions and beliefs. Sometimes, it's perfectly OK to just allow children to trust and believe.

My mom believed in Christmas traditions so much that none of us kids had the heart to even tell her we knew there was no Santa. I still buy her a Christmas book every year and she reads it to the kids along with the traditional "The night before Christmas". It's magical and always gives me goosebumps.
