I think that the problem (in my eyes) of what your'e saying is the dichotomy between physical and metaphysical. There ai'nt such thing. I know love is a big word (so I strongly recommend not to use it) but when people feel something one to each other, sex is a great way to share it (better than words / more than words). I do agree that for most of us sex without feeling seems wrong (and as funny as it may sound I find that it is true to males more than to females) so I think you / we should do it only with someone we care for. But not doing it at all to focus on the spiritual aspect is (sorry for my brutality but there is no polite way to say it) rubbish.
Since this is a prog site I recommend you to listen to Gong's song "Love is how 'y' make it" (from the album Angel's egg and I prefer the vocal mix - bonus track). I think it is said there much better than my words.

I'd strongly advise against that. If I only could have imagined how hairy my palms would become, I would definitely have kept from touching my weewee unless absolutely necessary.

About the debate between Peter and Micky.
First, I find this thread funny and it seems to me nobody took it very serious (and some of the answers I have found very funny). As I saw it most people here were laughing mainly on themselves and that is something I hope my children will learn to do so if I had kids in these ages (and they will be there in about 3 or 4 years) then I would feel no harm will be caused to them by reading this thread.
Second, isn't a great deal of art were made against hypocracy ?
And last, Peter's respond reminded me for some odd reason words written by John Lennon :
And you think your'e so clever and classless and free
but your'e still f**king peasent as far as I can see

You know, polls like this are pretty silly because everyone has a different life situation and the time right for everyone differently. I wish everyone could say the same as you that they look back and it was the right choice at the right time. So many people do it for the wrong reasons......oh well, their life not mine. |
Haha, well, I look at life that way in general. This isn't a race, though many people look at aging as a reason to rush things in life. Everything will happen at the right time if you are simply patient.
At lleast that's how I feel. Maybe I'm just kidding myself.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Oh yeah, topic. I think already responded, but if I haven't, I am posting on Prog Archives and I listen to avant-garde music, what do you think?

Of course the best way to get this closed is to set off on a non-related tangent to the original topic.
I'm not totally convinced that we need this poll but having regular access to Cosmopolitan magazine it seems to be a subject that enthrals people. I haven't read all the posts but apparently 25% will be telling porkies according to statistics...
