Ok when did I say I was religious? You need to stop thinking you can put words in my mouth. I happen to believe that sex and love should be connected. Sure I could change my opinion but so could you. And what about my motives? My motives to do what? You either need to be clearer about what you are posting or think you arguments through since a lot of your posts aren't making sense.

The reason you can't understand my posts is because you aren't reading them. I was addressing your possible counterpoints before you made them. I never claimed you were religious. I simply acknowledged that as a possibility then proceded to explain why it was wrong.

As for you claiming I'm being vague about what motives I think you have, I'll reiterate the exact text of a post I assumed you read.

Besides, women have this habit of coming up with every excuse to avoid having sex. They think their commodity will appreciate in the eyes of their potential lover by withholding it. They wish to get concessions before they give up their v****a for use, concessions such as committed relationships.


I have explained point by point how your excuses don't hold up in the previous posts, and the explaination I have proposed of your discriminating sexual behavior is the one that makes sense in light of these facts.

I think you should consider some introspection. Do you want to continue being someone who exchanges the time, labor and money that a boyfriend gives you for sex? (Without using the harsh term, you must know what this makes you akin to.) Or do you want to step into the enlightenment of sexual hedonism?

You see the problem with all of your arguments is that you don't understand love and relationships. To you life is all about gain for you. You can't understand actually wanting to give something without anything in return. I'm working two jobs every day of the week to support us while he goes to school. Does it sounds like I'm trying to get his money? For the fact that I'm working so much he does do a lot of the chores but I help as well. We have sex because we both enjoy it. Not for manipulation or any other reason. I don't think this is something you can understand.

"You don't understand [rest of sentance here]" or "I happen to believe [rest of sentance here]" are really non-arguements to begin with. Not explaining your reasoning means I can't address your points.

You may have some notions about how some human behaviors are mystical and can't be explained. This notion is ridiculous. We're not talking about subatomic physics.

While my statement was general, and there are admittedly outliers, I'll now explain why my initial assesment of your specific sexual situation is still valid.

Your putting your boyfriend through school would only mean that you're trying to get in at the ground level with your boyfriend, and not that you're somehow benevolent and therefore exhibiting some mystical behavior.

You hope that he will someday make something of himself and you're there when it happens. School is a way to establish financial security for those who attend it.

Not all women who subscribe to "relationship only sex" are able to attract a man who already has financial security. There are those with limited assests who are left to buying junk bonds and penny stocks in hopes that they will appreciate later.


As for getting into this whole arguement with you, maybe I'm not wrong. Maybe what I'm saying is correct and you're entitled to live as an indirect prostitute. I'm certainly not forcing you to do anything.

Maybe you could forge a better plan with this knowledge, or maybe you could reconsider and look at sex as recreation rather than commoditiy. (Which is my way of looking at it.)

I don't see sex as a commodity and I don't think I ever did. And I still don't think that I could be seen as a prostitute in any light and I have yet to understand your reasoning on this.

Sex is plain and simple a physical activity. The who, what, when, where, why may complicate it but it doesn't change the fact that it's just a physical activity.

When I have sex it's because I feel the physical urge and my fiance does too and we decide we would like to. There isn't anything else attached to it. If he never wanted sex I would be ok with that. He has said the same. It's a bonus in a relationship but I don't think it's ever a required part of life.

So since our relationship may include sex but is not limited to sex no other aspect can be co-related.

I don't think any of this 'knowledge' will cause me to 'forge a better plan' as nothing you have said has change any of my opinions or views on this subject.

So maybe I'm not wrong. Maybe we have a healthy relationship that involves consentual sex that is satisfying for both of us. Maybe this form of sex is just as valid as any unattached sex that could be had with any sex toy picked up in a club.

It's analogy time boys and girls.

Suppose there was a shoe-salesman, and he really liked selling shoes. It was his life's passion, and he really loved to fit people and recommend the best looking shoes for them. He loved the smell of rubber soles, and he admired the exquisite craftsmenship of the footwear makers. He thought the contours and curves of the inside of a shoe were something to behold. He loved the smooth feel, and he felt that he could hear the shine of some of the finer black shoes. He would love nothing more than to help people get shoes for the rest of his life.

But he still would charge his customers full price for every pair he sold. He had commoditized his passion.

Now you say that you love sex, and it's only a physical, but the moment you said that you only want "relationship sex," you commoditized it right there. The fact is in your life, you've tied sex to relationships.

I've already gratuitously stated that your life is yours. And I suppose the right to be in denial about your own machinations is too.

The fact that you say you won't change your opinions seems arrogant and shows denial. You've offered no counterpoints to my rebutals, but rather restated yourself or taken the discourse in completely other directions.

Chalda
Anyway I enjoy the committed relationship sex that is available when ever I want it.

With this one phrase you immediately disregard any possibility of casual sex. With a few strokes of the keyboard, you immediately discriminate against a vast population. It must offer great insight into your psychology, or you're exagerating for effect (not likely).

It very definately commoditizes it. It's like saying "I'll sell you these shoes and I love selling shoes, but give me $80."

Okay guys, I was just wondering... How dense can people be? I mean, seriously?! I can't believe that people are taking me seriously!
PostPosted: Thu Oct 20, 2005 9:50 pm


The problem with you statements is that you also take the discourse in a different direction then my statements and you offer little if any rebuttals to my statements. You also seem to be in denial about your own machinations and are unable to be open minded enough to see that your life style, while it works for you, is not necessarily correct by anyone else's terms.

I disregard the possibility of casual sex and the vast population because it doesn't interest me. That's my choice. If I wanted those things then this wouldn't be my view point. But it is an I see no loss in disregarding those things as they would not bring me any enjoyment.

Your analogy seems so faulty to me. If the shoe salesman could live a happy life by giving the shoes away he probably would. But if he did that he would lose his home, his business and all his worldly possessions and end up living in a box. Obviously this would not be a happy life. He only charges for the shoes to maintain the life he loves.

Sex may make my life happier but a lack of it wouldn't make me any sadder. I value the closeness that it brings to my fiance and I. Causal sex would not bring me that outcome which is why it has no value to me.

So since you seem to need to berate me in an attempt to provoke me into an irrational back lash I assume that your arguments are running dry.

You and I put different value in sex. That is easy for anyone to see. You seem to see only the physical pleasure that it may provide for you and not the fulfillment that the emotional connection can give.

If you put no value in emotional connection then of course this view point makes sense and I am not narrow minded enough to not be able to understand this. But I do know that the majority of people who travel through life in this fashion are unhappy and alone. You may deny your emotions if it suits you but you are human and will never be able to rid yourself of them completely.

My only beef with that posting is that right in your signature, you say you're a councilman for the LIH guild. I believe everyone here wants this to be a reputable place, not some joke. I don't think its unreasonable to ask that either you remove the claim from your signature, or stop making joke threads/postings. You represent us, so don't make us all look like asses.

I think the mods let me do as I please because I tend to report an enormous amount of troll/rant/validation/stupid threads in Life Issues. I do more benefit than damage.

Also, it may have something to do with the fact that the current mods of LI are all tolerant of the Peabody Pirates, with the exception of ShyRomance, but he's just a stupid b*****d anyway.

Or it may have something to do with the fact that I've gotten so good at trolling that I can now violate the TOS without having people actually realize it. ninja

It is somewhat of an anomaly that Sipid is "allowed" to troll around. However, he has been banned numerous times by the mods. So, it's not really that he's being "allowed" to troll, he just hasn't been banned yet (again).

Yeah, well, I haven't gotten any mod hate on this acct yet. So I think I'm doing pretty well, actually.

Maybe it's just because I'm an outstanding member of Life Issues, despite the fact that no one likes to acknowledge it. I tend to report a good deal of threads in fact, like the one where I made up the story about being an abused child. I reported the thread, and than proceeded to troll. The thread was moved to the Recycle Bin, and I got off scott free.
