On a scale of 0 to 10, how important is sex to you?

Kerrie
Jul13-04, 10:51 PM
is 1 the lowest and 10 the highest, or vice versa? for me personally, i would say about a 5...at one time it was at a much higher ranking though.

10 being most important. Kerrie, to answer the poll I considered how (miserable) my life would be without any sex at all.

Woman often find themselves in the position of pleasing their partner. Men could learn greatly from the empathic intercommunication of mutual needs and desires - with ecstatic intimacy as a bonus.

I don't know, I would have to experience it first, and that is about as likely as the sun going supernova in my lifetime. If that makes my life miserable, well, I guess there are levels of misery, and there are always other activities (e.g. hobbies) that can provide one with pleasure in life.

If I was in a relationship that enabled me to have sex, it would be very important, but I haven't been in such a relationship for 3 years.

I haven't experienced it like cragwolf, but I got damn close...don't know if oral foreplay is sex? Ohh well, I'd consider it a 1 then.

funny, this is exactly what i'm trying to teach my girlfriend... she's almost afraid of sex... forces me to be very sensitive and communicate for two, but i guess that's positive in a way...

Well, I come back after 7-8 months and this is the top-most thread (after the stickies) .... interesting http://users.pandora.be/eforum/emoticons4u/happy/045.gif

I voted 6. After more than 3.5 years of marriage, I still enjoy it quite a bit. Can surely live without it, but probably not for too long. :shy: :wink:

Moonbear
Jul14-04, 08:22 AM
Hey, 3 and 7 are BOTH missing!

Anyway, I voted 6, but it was hard to put a real number to it. It increases in importance when I'm around a very attractive man who I want sex with, but I can manage without when circumstances require. Besides, there are always other ways to relieve those urges.

And for those of you who are still virgins, don't worry, it's something worth waiting for...it'll be even better if your first time is with someone very special.

The first time is (quite understandably) a bit awkward ... anxiety levels are high etc. Its only subsequently that you can get more and more comfortable and the real fun begins :wink:

Yep, not that important. Unlike many of my peers, I have strong self discipline and believe that reframing from sex before marriage is essential for maintaining a clean mind and body. Many people struggle to reframe from sex because they indulge themselve's in the thought of it. Looking at porn and constantly checking out ckicks will only tornment you. Of course I do "check out chicks" but doing it constantly to every girl that passes you is perverted. Many men will compeled to do this constantly to simply prove to other guys there not gay. Good thing I don't care what people think my sexual orintation is.

How important is sex? Very, altough it's hard to put a number on it.
I'm not the kind of guy that goes looking for it all the time, I learned quite early that it requires alot of time and energy and is not worth it for a fling, most of the time. When something did come my way it didn't exactly shy away from it though.

Something that surprised me to no ends is how women can be sometimes alot worse then men when it comes to sexual urges. I went through puberty believing that only guys really need it, and that women sort of humour them. It's only in a serious relationship that you really get to know a woman's real feeling on the matter. With them, it's invariabally emotional as well, but once that condition is satisfied they are as bad as men, even worse...

Anyway, that's what's so wonderful about women. They never cease to surprise you :biggrin:

Sorry guys, but sex is pretty important to me. I am not an addict and I have always been monogamous. I am in a monogamous relationship right now and my partner and I have sex at least once a day, usually two or three times a day. I would never go out with a woman with whom I did not have sexual chemistry.

Jul14-04, 03:31 PM
Okay, the Bob just turned 16 (happy belated birthday, by the way). I didn't lose my virginity until I was 18, so sex was certainly not very important to me back then.

What's wrong with having a thread like this? Evidently, the subject weighs heavely on most people's minds, so why not talk about it? I'm convinced that the whole taboo on the matter has produced alot of negative stuff over the centuries (although it didn't really become a taboo untill the mid 1800's). And then again, what's unclassy about it? I think you have a very strange definition of class...

Holly, you're entitled to and perhaps warranted in your concern that minors might be responding to my post. I had merely considered that asking how people felt about such a fundamental human response would make an interesting topic. I believe, though, that Physics Forums institutes the protections necessary to preserve the privacy of all its members.

My question is quite tame compared to much on this discussion group, much less the vile obscenity the accompanies a substantial portion of the Internet accesible to anyone with a library. You would be quite surprised (but no doubt uninterested) as to how tame my own sex life actually has been. :redface:

That's what happens if you don't wait for the right person or right time. You should already be comfortable enough with the person so it's not awkward and so you aren't so anxious. It seems the first time is more awkward and not nearly as enjoyable if you lose your virginity too young, when it's all about sex and not about taking a relationship to the next level. If you are already in a good relationship, and then go to that next level, it can be a very fulfilling experience. And if you're not hurried about it, it's much better to spend some time learning about each others' bodies before initiating actual intercourse.

Yes, you're quite right! Class is talking about your sex life on a board actively recruiting k-12 students to use as a resource. Class is saying you don't get any, get it daily, don't get it, have a "tame" sex life, blah blah blah.

Tom Mattson
Jul14-04, 08:38 PM
Loren--I've merged your two threads into one.

Holly--We don't recruit anybody, and we stipulate at signup that registrants must be at least 13 years of age. Any younger than that, and it's their parents' fault for letting them on the internet without supervision. As for those who are 13 and above, they are taught sexual education in health class. As long as this thread does not become lewd, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it being posted at PF.

Thanks for the merger and clearing up misunderstanding.

Jul14-04, 11:27 PM
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think I should have answered 10 myself. Afterall, sex is really important...if it wasn't for sex, I would never have been born. Plus, sex is how I earn my living...hey, don't jump to any conclusions there...my research is all in the field of reproduction. So, yes, I don't see anything wrong with talking about sex, I talk about it a lot.

As for minors viewing this discussion, I think of all the places where teens are going to discuss sex, and they will discuss it, a science forum is probably the best place.

Someone commented that they were betting that the person who answered 10 in the poll is male. I think that comment alone is a good reason to have this discussion. I think what's going to surprise some people is that both men and women enjoy sex equally. Think about it, it wouldn't work very well if they didn't. It's supposed to feel good and be rewarding...if it didn't, our species wouldn't have much of a chance at survival. But, along with sex comes a lot of risks and responsibilities. Sexually transmitted diseases are a big risk, pregnancy is a huge responsibility, but there are other things as well. The way it can affect the relationship dynamics between the two partners, the hormonal changes that affect mood, the effect it can have on self-esteem, which can be negative if the physical connection isn't matched by an emotional connection.

And if you're not hurried about it, it's much better to spend some time learning about each others' bodies before initiating actual intercourse. However comfortable you are with a person otherwise, the first time having sex[ is always the first time having sex, if you know what I mean. And by sex I dont necessarily mean intercourse. Only men use those words as synonyms, I guess http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/37.gif

Oh grow up. It's this sort of attitude that leads to high teen pregnancy rates, sexual abuse, and a general unhealthy mindset regarding a normal activity. I guess it keeps the psychologists in employment. Oh, what about the children! We can't let them find out about this horrid, awful, dirty thing that adults do in the dark!

im glad other teenagers are posting here. My mom would not be happy if she knew everywhere i post. Its kewl to put this in a physics site. This is a place you can talk about sex and not be ashamed and hear about other people and their sexual thoughts.

Loren Booda
Jul21-04, 01:49 PM
Why not tell your Mom what you are doing? Hearing about sexual thoughts is no more to be ashamed than to hear about sexual fantasies - they're much the same. The Christian radio counseling I sometimes listen to here in DC makes this thread seem tame! They're far better than most references to "teens" on spam, which any person on the Internet can read. Next people will try to censor our dreams, or impose their shame through subterfuge. And this is just your third post! Welcome to PF!

I must leave now to visit the nursing home. You can learn a lot about human nature, caring, honesty and trust there. More important than sex alone is to lead a life of compassion and responsibility. That's in part why you have the choice to read or respond to this poll/topic.

There are natural incest taboos that operate in biology. Discussion of sex with individuals outside your mating age group is one of them. Parents need to have the sex talk at an increasingly early age any more, with special attention to predatory intent of adults, and older teenagers, and mode of transmission of physically transmitted diseases. This includes getting kisses from relatives with cold sores at family gatherings, or any one else anywhere. The most important info to be passed along is that it is always alright to say no to unwanted intimate acts, offered up by anyone, regardless of the power they have in the child's life. The other important thing that parents can convey is that they will listen to anything the child needs to convey about any subject. The need for sex, and the need for body altering sex appeal, is pushed onto our young by greedy entities, corporate and otherwise.

The important thing about sex, is the relationship that leads to sexual desire. Is that relationship important enough to share your entire bodily integrity?

Once concept I came up with regarding sex, and frequent partner changes, is this. I think that we age as a species everytime we change sexual partners. Our immune systems are exposed to every other encounter our partner has had, and therefore we speed up the predator time table. There are all kinds of shifting DNA responses to intimacy, including consumption of animal foods, that step up to the intimate encounter, working their survival schemes. Sexual encounters should really be acts of pleasant intimacy with well established partnering, to protect us all from the predations of time.

Jul21-04, 03:29 PM
My mom would kill me, hehehe, that's why i don't tell her.

i don't agree with not talking about sex with people ouotside the mating group. Its the older people that want to talk about it and thats where we get kewl information and hear about their experiences. My friends would never talk like on this, but here i can hopefully hear a lot about sex while my mom thinks im just learning science. :wink:

Loren Booda
Jul21-04, 05:18 PM
Oyeah,

Yours seems to me a knowledgeable and mature account. How do you think your theory about sex talk outside one's age group applies to the Internet in general, and Physics Forums in particular? Is it true that childhood sexual abuse occurs most often with familiar acquaintances?

Recently a young boy expressed to me his parent's belief that homosexual marriage was OK. I hesitated, finally saying that although it would not be appropriate for me to share my views with him, nevertheless I respected his.

A friend of mine said she believed that every sex act with a new partner acted out those with partners past.


Dreamer,

Wake up to reality. You have quite an imagination. Properly presented with personal experiences, sexuality is a science.

Trust your parents before you trust us. If you cannot share with them, try a school counselor or a religious leader.

I would say that sex is the most overrated...out of everything. The best pleasures allow one to realize what was so great of the pleasure, its significance, after the pleasure a sense of control, mastery, intellectual stimulation. There is really nothing to feel after sex, in fact, there is no more repulsive feeling than that as one feels after sex, a kind of a confused, disoriented feeling. This is probably why sex is so addictive so some people, they keep going back in search of its significance or rather they cannot escape it because they are not able to realize its insignificance, they don't understand it at all. It is the greatest ignorance and thus some people ignorantly consider it their greatest pleasure.

My friends would never talk like on this, but here i can hopefully hear a lot about sex while my mom thinks im just learning science. :wink:

Sorry, but all you're going to learn here IS science. If your mom would object to you reading about this topic, you really shouldn't be here.

You feel confused and disoriented after sex? I feel relaxed and content. Sex is an Aristotelian catharsis. It is also a very versatile act. It can be engaged in purely for physical pleasure, or it can be the most intimate of shared moments between loving partners. It can be an act of of frivolous midday joy or even
the conception of a brand new life.

What is its significance? For one thing, it is a good deal of what your physiology, hormone cycles, and behavioral traits are built around. It is conducive to both mental and physical health. If you don't feel in control while engaging in intercourse, then perhaps you just aren't doing it right. There is a great deal of liberation both in the focus on catering to your partner's needs as well as in knowing that they are doing the same for you. You want intellectual stimulation? Why? I, for one, want a little escape every now and then from my overactive intellect. I appreciate sex precisely because it is not an intellectual act. It is like meditation, focusing all of my mind and body simultaneously on the passion and lust I feel for one human being. Sex is anything but overrated.

What is the term on discussion groups for one person to adopt two personae, two user names?I don't know if it has a particular name, but it would be frowned upon. I would like to be notified of any possible instances where this could be occuring. We wish to maintain the integrity of PF, and I do not feel that one person parading as two or more members would be conducive to this.

Yer I am glad there is another teenager posting but act mature man. This isn't really the thread for 'asking out'. Normally the idea comes in other threads but this one has to be talked about with maturaty.

Nevertheless I am going to say that the posters here are not old. None of them. All still young and active. :approve:
