Hilarious question I know, but I actually am really beginning to strongly dislike sex. It seems like it causes a crap ton of problems. I just was curious to see just how much of a minority us sex haters are.

Really? I assumed you were referring to the emotional aspects of it. The physical part is pretty good, I'd say.

Sex and relationships have caused me so much grief. They've driven me to hating myself, having rampant thoughts of suicide, physically harming myself, praying to whichever Gods to kill me where I stood, caused me to feel the deepest pits of isolation, forced me into bloody tears night after night, given me crippling anxiety/panic attacks, and more. How is it that I never felt truly alone until I started dating someone?

Oh yeah, I mean I'm a guy, of course my guy parts are attracted to it. But overall, it just seems like it screws relationships up.

I don't try to make my life out to sound awful - there have been some amazing parts. But the best parts were always when I was completely by myself. When other people come in all it does is make me hate everything.
Women have made me hate sex. The emotional torture it comes with far outweighs any physical pleasure I might have. If I have to sit in a corner and feel like I'm falling into an endless pit while my chest explodes so hard that I'd do anything to make it stop and all I can think about is beating my head with my hard knuckles until I submit to a coma - I'd rather just beat off.

I am teaching my fellow nurses to use a computer program for documentation. The section for documenting social history has spaces for smoking, alcohol, illicit drug use and....sexual activity. Here is a fundamental problem with our societies view of sex. We have 3 subjects synonymous with self-destruction and the activity necessary (mostly) for procreation of our species happily linked together.
The real funny part is the choices for the "Are you sexually active?" question are: Yes, No...and not currently. For those who are holding out hope.

Why? Do you go to hospitals where nurses make it a habit of having sex with patients? Besides, the questions are for gathering patient data.

Sexually transmitted diseases can be spread through means other than sex!? And the possibility of having an STD is even more relevant for patients.

Yea, I dunno, seems like maybe it should placed somewhere other than a list of vices tho. It is pertinent information, I guess because of STDs, however. I mean, I personally think sex without love is a vice, but that's my personal viewpoint; it's up to the individual to draw their own lines on where sex fits into the scheme of morality.

Um, no. That's why they are called sexually transmitted diseases. Aside from blood transfusions, but we do not run about giving our own blood to patients. If they were spread that easily we would all have them and it would be a non-issue. If you are concerned about STD's being transmitted casually I would advise wrapping yourself in some impermeable membrane when in public.

Yea, but its still a possibility I'm sure. Don't tell me you can't conceive of someone, especially a new hire making a mistake like that. Plus, even if there wasn't it'd still have to be there as a legal ass-covering measure.
Anyway, we're getting off-topic. Back to why sex ruins everything ever.

I see a common thread amongst you guys. For one thing, quit over
analyzing everything. It is alienating to others and for the individual,
does nothing to promote true self-examination. You guys are all young.
I was
in the same place at one time. The path to strong interpersonal
relationships starts with a quality inTRApersonal relationship.
Self-actualization is more than just jargon. One thing women really
love is to be listened to; listened to and truly
heard. Can't be done when your own thoughts are constantly eating at
you. You are a loudspeaker for
your own self-worth and well being, projecting it onto others and the
world around you. There is more than just sex. Your occupational
health depends on it as well. I'm sure it seems trite, but give
yourselves time. Eat healthy and exercise. I'm not talking about 400
crunches, simply walk. You guys are clearly intelligent, just try not to
use it as a hammer. Things will fall into place.

Given the younger crowds responses in this thread and recalling my own experience, I miss it not one bit. I like where and who I am. Of course it is rather hot outside. Somewhere with a little more cool air and rain would be nice.

I'm not some lonely dunderhead that's had sex once and it was a failure. I've been having consistent sex for the past couple years (sometimes as much as three or four times a day). I know all of that self-actualization garbage by heart. Tell me how that helps you when your girlfriend just took 20 ambien and is so mentally spaced that she begs to steal her dad's wallet and card.
Or tell me how all that self-help nonsense is applicable to each human being, without accepting the differing psychological compositions of all humans? How does it help when your fiancee just tried to kill herself by overdosing on Advil PM? I mean it was only eight of them and she didn't even have alcohol in her system. The poor girl, she was just tired of life, is all.
Personally I thrive on my feelings toward myself. I love myself just enough to like being me, and I hate myself just enough to never want to stop improving (in my eyes). I have found the balance that works for me. It's other people that I can't handle very well. At times I want to hug every human being that ever cried as if they were my only child. I don't know what I'll be tomorrow, but I'm always happy with what I am, today.
Tell me how losing five pounds and eating apples and smiling in the mirror helps you when your mother talks about killing herself, or when your girlfriend tries to chop her arms off with an X-acto knife or when your fiancee has a bipolar episode or when your two year old stepson is lying in the floor screaming because we don't got any goddamn pretzels and all anybody can do is cover their eyes and cry and shake in the corner. Please connect the dots in which I have proffered.

I don't know what to tell you. You are 21 and know everything and reject that which you "know". This Springer world that you live in is one you can only deliver yourself from. And none of it has squat to do with sex. And you know that.

If you are not morbidly obese and can at least be in the presence of a female without having an asthma attack, there is someone out there who is willing to let you put your penis inside her.
The thing is you'll probably have to check online sites.

Hmmm...it's really not all about sex. A great relationship with a women is a profoundly satisfying experience. I wouldn't trade the relationships I've had for anything. Sex is merely the cherry on top. And that is a damned fun cherry, both literally and in the figurative sense.
Henry, you need to be a bit less cynical. Loosen up. Enjoy.
