So while I made my sandwiches recently, I started thinking about this girl I might start to date (we've been dating before, and she ran away with a friend of mine, who no longer is my friend, but that's another story). Well the thing is I don't think she's very into sex, but more of the girl that isn't the random slut you meet. She's an interesting woman and I'd definately date her if I knew I'd get sex at least once per week.

Now most of us are men, and I'd like to know what you'd choose.
The sex or the love? You can't have both, because that's obviously overpowered. And if you do have both, what would you pick if you couldn't have both?

Anyways. Poll incoming.

man : WTF IS THIS SHIT?
woman: I said i LOVE you ALRIGHT?

man : I am sorry honey but for us to get married you have to sign this premarital agreement.
woman: WTF IS THIS SHIT?
man : Oh don't worry honey, what matters is that i LOVE you.

if a woman loves you she'll want to have sex with you. if she doesn't it's not you that she loves.

who wants an anorgasmic wife anyway?

Pfft. People always think "this girl ain't into sex." But trust me, you'd get from her daily. Its simple pattern, women hunger for sex more than men, damn it.

So, its simple choice; I'd rather date than have an sex-relationship. So; Love.

I have friends, and I have friends with benefits. The whole romantic love thing? It's imaginary, take a look at the divorce rate in the USA. It's what? 80%? 90%? Something like that. The way we treat sex, and box it up with this entire concept of lifelong mates and the like and treat it as though it were either holy or dirty is completely absurd.

So there is no such thing as love between friends and relatives? Or is that just a suppressed or sublimated desire to have sex with them as well?

No that is a different kind of love. that is real love, not the kind that people are experiencing when they begin a relationship with somebody. That kind of ideal that people strive for does not really exist. If you can find the kind of love you're talking about with a woman, without the sex, then she is essentialy a friend and should be treated as such

Don't begin making assumptions about my opinions, though.
You stated that there was no love beyond the desire to have sex; upon elaboration you state that there are (at least) two kinds of love.
So;

1) There is nothing, as yet, stated that renders these two types of love mutually exclusive.

2) You cannot determine, without further inquiry, which type of love any particular person is referring to, at any given time.

Care to elaborate further?

Yes, generally when someone is asking whether it is more important to have a relationship based on sex or love, they are talking about the kind that does not really exist. As you already pointed out, a realtionship is not necessary to achieve the other kind. It is the kind that can be shared between friends or family members. I don't think there are two kinds, i think there is only one kind.

The other thing that is generally mistaken for love, is a combination of imfatuation, lust, jealousy with a dash of egomania, it is not sustainable long term

Damwa
09-28-2008, 10:21 PM
According to Freud, yes.

Yeah, I know; and that is at least a nicely consistent opinion - most people wouldn't want to "go there", though.
Personally, I think that Freud is both overrated and overly maligned. At any rate, I would speculate that Freud is not entirely wrong to suppose that different "forms" of affection all draw on the same (number of) "internal springs" for their fuel; but that is neither here nor there. - Except to say, that in this case (as well) there is a dissolution of the (seeming) contradiction between the feelings of affection and the absence of sexual expression; a lot of people have perfectly well-functioning relationships with parents, children, siblings and friends without ever having to "stick it in", and without experiencing any frustration over these "restrictions". Not saying anything about ideal(s), just trying to contemplate the implications of the possible assumptions.

That is the thing, though: it is rather "bold" of you to enter into a discourse with an overarching assumption, that when people state a preference or opinion; they must clearly be expected to intend the least sensible interpretation of that opinion possible.

I would, however, agree with you that there is a contemporary prevalence of a certain manner of conflation in regard to the issue. The thing is, however, that I believe it to be more a specific occurrence of a general conceptual "crossing of wires", than a misunderstanding specific to "love". I would also tend to opine, that it is *very much* a conflation of our time and culture, and not one generally held by all humans to all times, and not one generally associated (in this perspective) with what is widely (and commonly) predicated as "love".

Bold perhaps, but it is how i interpreted the OP's question. I have never been one to overestimate people's sensibilities. Particularly in matters pertaining to 'love'. If one is seeking love, then one must be careful to understand what love is. This 'platonic' kind that you brought to the table is what i would consider real love. The other kind, that i assume the OP is seeking, as i previously stated, does not exist in the form that most people believe it to. It is, in my opinion, a collection of various different emotions, which when acting in concert, is commonly mistaken for the real thing.

At any rate, I would like to suggest that it is (to me) entirely credible that a great many people (over the age of e.g 30 or 40), when speaking of love in a relationship, really *do* mean the love of "friendship" in a relationship that in addition to this has (some) sexual aspect. That is; as people get older they are more prone to consider the potential duration of a relationship beyond the years of intense sexual "urges".
More specifically; I wasn't *entirely* joking in my first reply to the OP. If I had to be in a lifelong relationship with a woman, and had to choose sexual chemistry or love; I would always choose love. It is far more pleasant to spend time with someone you like and trust (but do not desire) than to spend time with someone you desire, but do not like or trust (as such). - And it is *always* an option to seek gratification elsewhere; regardless of the nature of your relationship.

3 days a week is a bit of a high expectation for throughout the marriage. Now, at the start, I might agree with you, but then I have a weird philosophy on marriage. Basically, for the sake of myself, the girl in question, and our potential children, it is my belief that people should live together for quite a long time (3-6 years imo) before getting married. At that point, 3 days a week seems like it might be a little high.

Now, really, if it's not happening at least twice a month, something is wrong in general. You're fucking up, she's being a bitch, or one or both of you is working too hard.

Besides, women get in the way of MMORPGs. I've seen PvE and PvP clans before, but never IHW clans (I-Have-a-Woman clans).
IHW clans play 1 hour every evening while Sex in the City is on, then most members log off halfway through a raid. IHW clans are inactive during the weekends, except for when she's out shopping with the girls.

1. Envision a hunter-gatherer society, which is what we evolved to do. Granted, for this you have to reduce the numbers down a bit, but you see what I mean here. You have men going out to hunt and dying in the process at times, lowering the male: female ratio, and you have women bearing children and gathering to yield the majority of the food. A situation like this is conducive to a small number of men who impregnate a large number of women.
2. Humans don't follow our evolutionary ideal. We're about the only species that doesn't.

IHW clans play 1 hour every evening while Sex in the City is on, then most members log off halfway through a raid. IHW clans are inactive during the weekends, except for when she's out shopping with the girls.
Enjoy your depressing, bland, empty lives. Excuse me while I go get some poontang.

1. Envision a hunter-gatherer society, which is what we evolved to do. Granted, for this you have to reduce the numbers down a bit, but you see what I mean here. You have men going out to hunt and dying in the process at times, lowering the male: female ratio, and you have women bearing children and gathering to yield the majority of the food. A situation like this is conducive to a small number of men who impregnate a large number of women.
2. Humans don't follow our evolutionary ideal. We're about the only species that doesn't.

The ratio (between men and women) in this case would be far, far, far lower than what you suggested. I also believe that the mortality rate of men relative to women would be much lower than you seem to imagine (in such a state as you suggest, there would be *many* factors contributing the mortality rate of fertile individuals, and most of them would be "equal opportunity" with quite a few favouring women. It is, in fact, the case that the longer average life span of women, as compared to men, *isn't* a constant throughout history).
Plus; there is no such thing as an "evolutionary ideal" - nature has no ideals. As the settings changed, so did we; it is all part of the game. Had we *not* changed, we would not be *more* "successful", but *less*.
That is my (somewhat speculative) opinion, at least.

I'm old. I dont do the whole 'poontang' thing anymore, although I never used a word like 'poontang' because only gaylords say 'poontang', except during this sentence.

Good luck with your intercourse. Let us know how it went.

Yeah, I know; and that is at least a nicely consistent opinion - most people wouldn't want to "go there", though.
Personally, I think that Freud is both overrated and overly maligned. At any rate, I would speculate that Freud is not entirely wrong to suppose that different "forms" of affection all draw on the same (number of) "internal springs" for their fuel; but that is neither here nor there. - Except to say, that in this case (as well) there is a dissolution of the (seeming) contradiction between the feelings of affection and the absence of sexual expression; a lot of people have perfectly well-functioning relationships with parents, children, siblings and friends without ever having to "stick it in", and without experiencing any frustration over these "restrictions". Not saying anything about ideal(s), just trying to contemplate the implications of the possible assumptions.
The biggest problem with any and all of Freuds works is that he bases it on assumptions and wishful thinking instead of empirical data.

I tried porn, but it really does nothing to me. I can usually get off by just focusing my energy on my organ and of course doing as most guys do, shut off my mind and stimulate my body. As for sex with my past girlfriends, the romantic attachment for them fueled me plus wanting to make them enjoy it, I really can't say I lusted after them.

No. Asexual is actually rare, but it is not something dangerous. Most people just hide it and don't admit to it. In real life I don't let others no I'm asexual. I come off as a normal, albeit sexually reserved, heterosexual man.

By its very nature this is a psychological error. Humans have a fundamental desire to satisfy our basic urges, of which sex is one. Even homosexuals do, even though they choose a somewhat abnormal way to do it. So asexuality is, at some level, a flaw. I would still encourage you to get yourself checked. Not because you have a low sex drive (which, though I would call it an error, isn't really a bad thing), but because it's entirely possible that you have some other latent flaw that you don't know about.

Coming off as something you're not is actually just one example of this; this is the first of a long list of steps to reaching sociopathy.

Actually asexuality has been observed in animals. There is nothing flawed about it. It just recently has become even known with people stepping out and admitting to it, until now most people either ignored it or concluded it didn't exist.

Observation in animals doesn't make it normal. Animals have the same sorts of congenital problems that we do, it's just that they usually die before reaching adulthood if they do.

Regarding your edit: no I don't think you're a sociopath, but pretending to be someone you're not is by its very nature the first step to sociopathy. I thought my post made it pretty clear that there were a lot more steps to cross, but evidently you missed that. And I don't think you "must" be sick in the head. I think there's a decent chance that you are (since this could very well be caused by an issue in your limbic system that could have other, much worse repercussions), but that more likely than not you've just got a minor abnormality.

So I'm on the way to becoming a sociopath because I hide the fact I'm asexual? I do it to avoid people giving me strange looks and discriminating against me, I already told a few people in RL and they reacted just like you.

We were all drunk, nothing happened according to all, I don't talk to the shithead anymore after that and she says she's still interested. Hell, why not give it a try?

Because they just told you that you are a mark. And you know it.

"According" to all means that they fucked like rabits and she doesnt want to admit that to you because you are a pussy and easy mark. Even thinking of getting back together with someone who left you to nail the bigger stud means you are shit. Grow up, grow a pair, and realize that there are a dozen women you pass by and meet every week who are willing to spread em for you, you just need to act.

She is not all that great, nothing you said sounds like she is even worth thinking about at this point. And its rather obvious that YOU know what is up, you are just not quite confident enough to tell yourself the truth. Don't be that guy that is pussy whipped, your former 'friend' sure as hell isnt. Or else she would still be with him because she wanted him, and he didnt want her as a steady lay.

BTW, don't listen to me, get back together with her so that in six months or a year you can come back and cry on the forums and we can get a good laugh at your expense. Your woman is not disinterested in sex, she just isnt into it with you.

Fuck that, be bitter, it is a lot more fun. Especially if you use it as a great excuse to never get married again, just hide it untill after you nailed em a few times.

Edit: Am i the ONLY one here who noticed that the op was asking us for permission to get back together with this chick? I could read the 'Should I get back together to have sex(once in a long while)?' Or 'Should I get back together and pretend to be in-love because I am insecure and lonely?'

Maybe I am imagining it. But he needs to find some other girl and nail her all night long. I can guarantee he wouldn't ask this question the next day.

You have men going out to hunt and dying in the process at times, lowering the male: female ratio, and you have women bearing children and gathering to yield the majority of the food. A situation like this is conducive to a small number of men who impregnate a large number of women.
2. Humans don't follow our evolutionary ideal. We're about the only species that doesn't.

Men aren't hunting tigers and dinosaurs, they generally hunted large plant eating animals (mostly, depends exactly where and when I guess). Dangerous? Sometimes. Child birth is a fucking bitch though and claimed many more lives.

There were more men than woman in pre-civilized times. The scales changed a bit when war became popular, as it was significantly more dangerous than hunting animals.

Wow. You masturbate to nothing? That's madness!

I usually only masterbate twice a month or so, but I did eight times in one day once... I actually did about 45 minutes ago while reading about the $700 billion dollar bailout plan being rejected. It didn't turn me on or anything, I just felt like multitasking... I'm not kidding btw, anyone else do this?

I put love, but why limit yourself? If you have one but not the other...than think outside the box...get lotion, an artifical vagina, or just stick with the one you love, but stick the one that'll let you, like most other dudes.

You won't get anything lasting out of sex

Herpes is the gift that keeps on giving.

I'd take the sex... You can always buy love!

I'm surprised by the results.

I can love myself... And do.

I can't really have sex w/ myself. Sure I can slide the celery a bit, but that's not really the same as sex.
