Do you think sex is overated?
It causes murders to be committed (crimes of passion)
it causes rapes, and child abduction
it causes unwanted pregnancies, subsequent abortions and/or fartherless children
it causes conflict in the workplace as the sexes battle it out
and
it causes terrible infections and itchy rashes
and if you really think about it, its not actually that good
Yes I love sex (im not a religious nut) but when I look back at my life so far, all the mistakes I have made were caused by sex!
wouldn't the world be a better place if there was no sex, people would love each other for their companionship and not because of their stamina lol. what do you think?
Answer:
I'm still a virgin so I have never had sex... ( I am 18 so don't think I am 30 or anything...)
I think it is overrated.
I am okay with sex before marriage but I do think that people need to be a certain age.
People get too excited over sex, especially younger people and I think 16 and under is too young.
17 is maybe too young depending on your maturity level and how much you love the person.
And if you are 18, you are an adult and you can do adult things, like sex.
But yeah I agree with you.
Sex causes problems. It is human nature and it is required for the human race to continue.
I think it should be used with caution and not taken for granted.
Yes.but - we sure cant go too long without it..!! hoho!! .
re: seuxual offences - weirdos who commit sex related crimes - & cant control themselves should be exterminated..
A better place maybe, but a bl**dy lonely one - how would the human race carry on ?
Get a grip!
Without sex you would not be here.
...Only if it's with the wrong person.
idiot! go and join a muslim group!
I can see your point. However, a world without sex would be kind of boring, and people might find different reasons to murder (try pent up "frustrations"). If the sex drive were non-existent (and we didn't know to miss it) it might make life easier / safer, but far less fun!
you have a point
but then again
look at the benfits of sex!!!!!
It is stupid to thing "wouldnt world be a much better place if there was no such thing" because u c, once u put on the glassess of optimism, u will see a world potential.
Take a knife for eg. Knife used in the kitchen for cutting vegetables and meat is quite good useful u know. But if u use it to stap someone.. then would it be fair to say "it would be better if there were no knives".
Same goes for sex.
There is marriage. Have sex with ur partner. N if u feel the strong urge to sleep around wit others, y dont u go to ur partner... maybe ur needs are not being ... how should I say. satisfied properly.. yes it causes much crime. But a lot of other things also cause much crime.
Unwanted pregnancies, subsequent abortions... etc. etc... well, have sex with ur marriage partner, finish! I M not a religious nut either but if u have to look at it from this way, then u have the solution too.
Sex isn't overated. Just like walking isn't or eating mussels or reading a book aren't. They are just things we do. How we rate them determines what they are like for us. as you notice, this comes about (no pun there) by experiences and knowledge. Hopefully the more experience- the more accurate the knowledge gets which brings awareness then of its role and limits.
Maybe how you personifying sex i.e. describe it as something sentinent as if it had life itself, shows you don't emerse yourself in it as much as you maybe could. A bit like when you are working out and you end up in that Alpha state where you aren't cognitive anymore just fully involved in the activity.
Don't get me wrong, I am not debasing sex nor am I pedastalling it. It is truly a great thing to do in context. I am tradesman and can only get satisfaction when I do a best job for a customer. In the same way I engage in sex to the best of my ability. That is the only way it becomes the mere communication it is supposed to be that connects clearly to the partner it is used with.
Sex does not cause any of those things, its the people that do it and their lack of care. Also, without it life would not be worth living and the human race would cease to advance far as sex and the hormones this generates are a great driver of human endeavour. Sex only becomes a problem when its taken for granted by society instead of being treated as something special.
NO - i dont think its overated !
but i do think people have the occasion to make it seem more important when arguing than it is...
its a reflect action... emotions and passions, that get us whipped up.. and brings out the primal being..
there is no rational behind that...
its great... and its there for a reason...
but i do think that sometimes we think we need it more than we do... i am a hopeless fool who thinks i need it a lot and its very important !
ker-ching !
I don't think sex is at the root of all problems. Ignorance, anger management issues, and lack of respect, I think, lead to more divorces, murders, etc.
Are you having a laugh? Everybody makes mistakes, some more than others when it comes to sex.
But is sex overrated? Not a chance. Very few people these days would admit to being monogamous, and therefore fewer people get married - I now there has been a buck in that trend recently though.
The murders rapes and child abduction I would not be able to comment on as glibly as you have added it to your qualification of your question.
Unwanted pregnancies etc. Unfortunately they happen, but when you live in as repressive a society as we do and sex education is couched in generalities, what do you expect. We need more openness and not be embarrassed about explaining it to kids/ youths/ teenagers/ those with learning difficulties and even a fair majority of adults as well.
Infections can be avoided by using the proper protection, and taking care of personal hygiene (more male than female that one).
The office place is a battle of the sexes, cos if there is an office where everyone is getting it on as Marvin would say, I want the address now.
And thinking about it normally means I am smiling.
Are you sure you are not a nut of some kind.
yawnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn...
It sounds like you want to go back to 1950s Britain LoL! Seriously though, it prolly is overrated though isn't it?
Moderation and self control is important in all things and that includes sex. To answer your question - it can be overrated sometimes but there's no denying the fact that sex can also be a beautiful thing.
sex within a loving relationship is not over rated and fulfills many needs not just sexual.
depends who youre doing it with
That's like saying the car is responsible for an accident. Even if the brakes give out, the driver was responsible for maintenance, so its not about the car, its about the driver.
Sex doesn't "cause" any of the things you listed. Marriages end because two people don't meet each others needs and I don't mean just sex, murders are committed because people are selfish and want power over others, rape and child abduction are about power, not sex, pregnancy is caused by not practicing safe sex, conflict in the workplace is also about being responsible, not because people need sex, infections are caused by viruses and bacteria and again irresponsible action, not sex.
While sex is part of all your issues, the real causes in each case are lack of self-control, behavioral deviation, irresponsibility and in some cases, sheer laziness.
Oh boy, you've really thought this through, haven't you?
If there was no sex in the world, you'd have one generation of humans (although where they'd come from I'll leave you to work out) and that'd be it.
End of the human race.
you make a lot of good points, but you may not enjoy sex that much and cannot presume that other people are the same, sex can get boring with the same person after a while but the act itself is the best experience a person can have.
No, sex is not overrated.
Sex is good, but people are stupid, because they behave like animals instead of human beings. They go and have sex with everybody they can instead of controlling themselves.
When a male dog sees a female of course it can't help itself and wants to do it. But what (should) differ about human behavior is that humans should be able to control themselves and not act the same way as that dog would do.
The world wouldn't be a better place without sex, but if would be a better place if everybody wouldn't f**k everything that's walking and would only "make love" with people they REALLY LOVE (that's why it's called MAKING LOVE).
So not sex is to blame, but people who can't control themselves enough.
Sex organs are made for reproduction and not for pleasure. The thing we confuse is the misuse of of these organs.
If we can turn back and go to the original definition of it we will end up having a world free of HIV, unwantend pregnancy, rival for one untrustful love, and many more conflict. I think we have taken far beyond its meaning by just considering it to sign of love. In today's world the word I Love you means the desire of fulfilling emotional desire. It is destroying communication.
Sex, sex, sex!! Mhh sex!
We have gone far beyond the limit. Even doves laughs at us.
For most women (including myself), sex is definitely overrated. On the other hand, for most men, it is the best thing on the face of the earth.
