Topic: The merits of sex.

Ok, I have a friend who constantly says to me "Dude, you need to get laid," and I can't fathom why this is. Granted, many have lost their virginity by my age (20.5 atm) but I fail to recognize any significance in this as none of them are married and their relationships are largely crap (with one or two exceptions). He suggests that I seek out a one-night stand which befuddles me even more as I've never understood what satisfaction could be gained from meaningless sex.

Do any of you have a clue why he'd suggest this? Rather, do any of you know why anyone would suggest this? I've heard from more than a few different people and none of them have bothered explaining to me how meaningless sex with a woman I don't know will improve my situation (single, nearly anti-social nerd). As it stands, I abhor the thought of such pointless hedonism. I doubt I'd gain much in the way of satisfaction from such an encounter. Are them some other things I'm missing here or is my present assessment pretty much accurate? Discuss.

Sure its a great thing and all, but its not worth obsessing over. If you feel like it, go for it. If you don't, then don't force yourself, you'll wind up causing more problems for yourself.

Well, I'm not considering going to find some woman to have sex with, but I keep hearing this and I'm left thinking only how absurd an action it is. I figured I'd put my thoughts here and see if it's really as absurd as I think it is. Perhaps I should've used the rant tag.

Dudes say that shit to each other all the time. It's sometimes a sign to get laid, but it's also a sign to do a lot of other things, such as:

-Relax
-Stop thinking so much
-Find something to take your mind off something
-Quit thinking about sex
-Stop masturbating
-Stop talking about sex
-Shut up

They don't bother to try and explain because without ever having sex, you wouldn't understand how sometimes it just feels good to have meaningless sex.

As such, you need to get laid, and I would like to get laid again.

Frankly, I can pop a wad without assistance. Perhaps I apply too much cold logic to it, but meaningless sex with a woman I don't know seems to accomplish little beyond mutual masturbation, a thought I find rather unappealing. If it just "feels good" there's no reason at all to bother with it. I think Parcelan had the best answer thus far.

Uh oh, here comes Maho trying to argue that sex is meaningless and that anyone who has extramarital affairs has a shit life and crappy relationships again.

FACT 1
Many relationships that involve premarital sex are extremely healthy and fulfilling for both parties involved.

FACT 2
Sex is an extremely important part of many relationships. Some people consider it the single greatest expression of love for another human being. For some people it just feels really good, like swimming or eating. It is, naturally, more important to some people than to others. Trying to act like it's "pointless hedonism" just because it isn't important to YOU is the sort of thing only a complete asshole would do.

Now let me turn things around - why NOT have sex? What possible reason could anyone have for avoiding sex with another consenting adult that they're in a relationship with? STD's? Bullshit, unless you're having unprotected sex with people you've only known a couple days, they're not an issue.

Sex is clinically proven to relieve stress, burns a noticible amount of calories, feels good, and gives you a chance to do the same for someone you care for. Most of all, it's simply a biological function, the desire to have sex is no different from the desire to breathe or eat, the fact that you don't die from a lack of sex doesn't change that.

Here comes Maradork, completely missing the point. This has nothing whatsoever to do with disapproving of premarital sex (read the damn post). Note also that I specifically pointed out that it was a question of meaningless sex OUTSIDE of a relationship.

It's not to imply that's all he does. Maradon said the following:

quote:

Given the irrelevance of this to my original post and the fact that I've mentioned nothing at all on this specific subject (premarital sex) pretty much since the one thread I posted on it ages and ages ago, I figured I'd respond in kind. As for the validity of Maradon's arguement, I didn't bother reading it as it has no relevance to the question I asked, therefore I do not accept it as valid or invalid.

Maradon: correction to your statement. People who have extramarital affairs will likely have a shit life and crappy relationships. Such lack of fidelity often leads to this, but that's entirely beside the point as I know what you meant.

Which is why I said people having extramarital affairs have shitty lives and relationships. Premarital affairs are another matter entirely; something I've come to understand in a somewhat different light in the last year or so. Perhaps it was an issue of semantics? I realized, belatedly, that extramarital could convey premarital as well.
