Foolishness! A man of a sexless philosophy is.... I'm not sure as to what I'd call it. Priesthood, Monk-dam? But outside of that, low testosterone? Too high estrogen perhaps. Do you have little to no body /facial hair? I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to scientifically hypothesize as to why human male mammal who's soul existence, through thousands of years of evolution , has been to mate. As in " meaning of life" is to produce/ replicate life furthering it along with pairing of continuously new sets of dna strands sequencing together to continue the chain of evolutionary life. It's a fact of all life on earth, all mammals. Take for instance the male lion. It doesn't make it to young adulthood while defying all the odds to sit around and eat. ...No, when by its teens it wants to f#^k. And eventually start its own pride (family) by copulating with as many lionesses as possible . My adulthood, it's soul purpose when in heat, is to have sex all day with all the ladies... Fathering as many offspring with his dna, legacy for future as possible.

To each his own. Knock yourself out. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Its one of lifes trues pleasures . meant to be enjoyed by 2 people who feel an attraction on multiple levels

Hmm.well.. if it gets you more dates..
Then..hmm... I am going to renounce having sex ever again...
Hang on a minute!.. I go on dates so I can have sex!.. oh this is not going to work for me....lol.. I need to rethink this....hmm..hmmmm...hmm... got it.!!..
I am no longer going to look at women as purely sexual objects...
... I want to spend time to truly get to know... who they really are..
What they think.. how they feel...
And then I want to knock boots with them..lol..

Sir, I respectfully disagree with you. Not one time in my life have I ever seen where sex kept two people together. Unless it's some teenage boy with his first piece. They tend to be that way sometimes. But a grown man? No. Not unless he is pus%^ whip and thinks he can't get another one. Sex will not hold two people together. Sex isn't that kind of bond. The bond that holds two people together is the bond of love and respect for each other.

I can totally agree, that part of my life is pretty much over, which wasn't active much anyway. I can totally agree and I'm one person who believes that it's not totally important. If it happens that someone actually tells me that they want lovemaking then I would probably cross that bridge when I came to it. This makes for a great discussion and I think it's smart to examine this.

So do u believe in marriage first before sex?

Sex is not everything, LOVE is everything. You may have all the sex that you want when you are still young and able but what holds two people together when they get old is LOVE, a bond that will link them together even without sex they could still share moments of a deeper intimacy , a connection stronger than the climax. The heights of love could only be achieved by two souls who are truly in love.

Well there are different ways to see this statement. The scientific coupled with logic , philosophical, universal ,and individual etc. Strictly speaking everyone differs in their opinions as well as needs of situation. Now one cannot say it is pointless to have intercourse for its a biological process of sexually reproducing species to ensure greatest advantage over other species in addition to evolution and survival. So we can't call it just pointless. Second thing yes if on the individual basis you consider it according to your own needs and ways of thinking then sex can be pointless for some for others not so it is unclear to state everything individually as a one single entity. Philosophically its on more diverse scale for different cultures, religions and regions too. Notion about sex differs from place to place too. So philosophically its rather a very eventful and unique way of achieving higher emotional connection between two souls/bodies whatever seems significant but not pointless. And last Universal approach deals with a unique manner that is combination of a process as well as its certain degrees of requirement for humans. Sex is pointless if been considered as outside of reasonable notion of sense but it depends .I won't say its pointless neither it is useful its just one of the biological process that shapes with society..and its development and mindset and I personally haven't thought it for me scientific approach is best.

I have to admit that I have read every single post and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. It is truly interesting to see all of the different views on this topic from knocking boots, true love, just sex, souls connecting and so on. Just to find out that the original poster deactivated, which is sad.
My view on this topic is if you have a connection with someone, why would you not connect with them on a higher level? It may not be right out of the gate as soon as you meet them at a coffee shop but after you build your relationship. If you do have that emotional connection and the mutual physical attraction, it's human nature honestly, so follow your instincts.

I must be getting cynical in my old age.

aw hell no. sex is the only thing that matters in life.

Sex is an important part of a relationship.

Besides without sex there would be no reason for a

While I think sex/lovemaking is an important part of a relationship. I think two people should wait until both are ready for it. I hate when I feel pressured by my partner because he feels I am waiting too long and he wants the relationship to go to the next level. Nothing is more disappointing than realizing the person you are dating is more concerned with when they will get laid than how well the relationship is going. I personally like to get to know a man and have time to develop the emotional and intellectual connections first. For me that's what makes lovemaking worthwhile and most enjoyable. When you have the respect and intimacy that you have both taken the time to build. There is nothing wrong at all with waiting. When you are ready, you will know it.

Well I don't think the relationship is going anywhere if I'm not getting any.

Agree with you.
It's very good statement

the following is an example of projection placing ones own views on others...

Speaking for myself only, yes sex is important. It's not just for those who want to have kids. Sorry some of you have had bad experiences making you feel otherwise.

u r right. I m agree with u
