I do agree, that sex can be addictive. God knows I was once under its spell, way back in my younger days... :P In my case, though, my sex addiction was solved when I one day realized after the act that it was no longer exciting or stimulating. I realized that something had shifted inside me and I no longer craved casual no strings attached sex.
I suddenly saw sex as this divine act of spiritual vulnerability and unity between two people who love each other enough to let everything down in each other's presence. Ever since then I don't really hook up anymore and I certainly don't have sex as much as I used to haha. Perhaps it's just a matter of perspective, and how one feels about sex.
Well said @rodeo670, I was under this spell too and so were and are a lot of youths today. Am happy you don't have sex as much as you used to, that's really plenty steps in the right direction. Thanks for your comment I appreciate.
I agree completely! I think that this culture we have today of rampant sexuality where everyone is just trying to get a bone in is hurting our relationships as a whole. Especially when people who intend to be together or are looking into that possibility for a relationship end up having sex on the first date. It has this weird subconscious effect on their minds, where they end up not being vulnerable and intimate with each other because in their mind they've already shed all the physical walls and they equate that to intimacy and vulnerability. Sex on the first date is one of the most telling signs of a relationship most likely doomed to fail, in my opinion.
I totally agree with you. For me, I actually stand with abstainance, that's sex only after marriage. I personally feel it's the best for a relationship, so that sex no longer becomes only for pleasure, but a means for both parties to bond with each other. Then the sex will mean a lot to them.
Exactly! I'm 100% behind the sex after marriage thing. Partially because I'm LDS lol but also partially because I've seen and experienced myself firsthand how empty it becomes if you don't do it with the right person and you aren't on that same level of understanding about what sex is supposed to mean and how significant that real connection of two souls who truly love each other that much.
Ooh that's really good, am glad you are on the side of abstainance. Exactly, it becomes an empty sex when you are not with the right person. I don't really know the meaning of LDS. Actually the reason why I am for abstainance is because it is the reasonable thing to do, and also, my faith as a Christian teaches abstainance.
Ahhhh haha...LDS = The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I'm Christian as well :P
Ooh,thats really great to know. Thank God you are a christian as well. Let's try as much as we can to let people know sex can be addictive.
