What's the deal? I mean yeah, sex is fun. I've actually had it a few times....believe it or not. But what's with this idea that sex is the only thing is in this world that matters? Especially casual sex. Why does it have to be the be all end all? This is the case especially in America. Sure, other countries are probably obsessed with it too, but America is definitely the worst offender. There are lot of other ways to have a great time other than just casual sex. Traveling is fun, sports are fun, watching a movie is fun, going to the mountains or beach is fun, cooking out with friends or family is fun. So, why does sex have to be the number 1 thing? Like I said, it's fun, but definitely not at all what mainstream society makes it out to be. And it's also way better when it is with someone you actually love. I've only been in love once and that's really the only time I could actually say it was amazing. Other times? It was fun, but nothing too special to brag about. I'd rather have done something else with my that time.

Look at what my best friend did with my picture!

We all have 24 hours in a day. How we spend these hours is important. Watching a little bit of a video about how sitting affects us made me aware of how much sitting and laying down I do. Gonna have to work on that.Your turn. Tell me another truth.
On a one on one interpersonal note, cuddling, laughing at life's absurdities, gentle conversation, yeah these SHOULD be just as important as sex, and yeah, apparently so many Americans are just too goddamn lazy and stupid to enjoy each other on that level, so there is animal grunting, moaning, an orgasm, followed by sleep, and then yet another unwanted kid enters the world, running around like a heathen banchee because he or she has no parental love nor supervision, doomed to repeat the same behavior and create yet another worthless generation.
I'm on a tear today!
Calling out American society for a generalized statement. Where do you live Daredevil that you make this kind of overall judgment? You mean to tell me there is not one woman who appreciates your moral and character? She is forcing sex on you? I say walk away. There are woman of great moral fiber that would appreciate your opinion and lifestyle.
As for the rest of us that enjoy having sex, stop judging and making this a societal problem. This is not a politically correct stance but I don't care. I am a responsible adult, I wear protection so I don't get pregnant and my partner and I are fully aware of what we are doing.
Pertaining to the romantic part of the diatribe, yes, wouldn't it be nice if BOTH parties participated in cultivating romance, intimacy, love, building a relationship? It just is not happening. Sorry folks. So I'm going to have sex if I can. I might be dead soon.
As far as the poor and under educated stereotypes, hate to burst anyone's bubble but lots of rich and educated people have casual sex.
I grew up impoverished, my dad was illiterate, my parents were alcoholics and we were on welfare. I don't recall having casual sex as a result but maybe screwing day in and day out left me with post coital amnesia.
The problem is, Human beings in general fear things that are different from them. They seem cocooned from the rest of the world.
In Pagan times in Scandinavia, there were 'Berserkers' warriors who were savage both in the battlefield and sexually. Plus, the Vikings pilfered and plundered Britain and Ireland 1,200 Years ago. War Crimes such as rape are as old as day and no one has a right to claim moral superiority over this issue.
I view Christianity as the right faith practiced by the wrong people!
