No! Wait! I'm divining noodle's response to my post (my mean, UNchristian-like post...measured as it is...)



There. That's what he thinks.

noodle thinks we are all lost until we embrace his own very specific version of morality.

If by "just now" you mean since I got married and had kids, then, yeah.

In fact, any bloke here who doesn't think he's a 'sally' is 'deluded'.

Is that a 'boat' to put your 'se[a]men' in?

I never implied that sex was immoral unless people where married. However, sex for sex sake is intemperate. It’s irresponsible. It cheapens the intimacy that is supposedly the purpose of sex.
It isn't about adult choice its about honesty. Would you engage in sexual intercourse if it was stated right up front that the episode was pure recreational and the pairing will dissolve immediately afterwards?

I think nobody would honestly say yes given those terms because you cannot abstract sex. The risk of pregnancy and the responsibility that comes with it, no matter how slight, plays in the background of your thoughts. I never met a person that engaged in sex without SOME emotional component, unless they where buying a hooker.

Its that emotional component that seeds the moral question.
No, I don't see the contradiction in my statements, but its been an off day for me around the Cellar, today, so feel free to enlighten me.

I don't have to worry about pregnancy, anymore, but I still don't say "yes" to a man whom I've just met. In my younger days I had a couple of one night stands out of curiosity as much as anything else, and I decided the experience was not for me. When I get into a relationship with someone, it usually lasts for a while. I was married for 20 years, but before that I was engaged for two years, so I wasn't a virgin when I married.

If some people want to have sex just to have sex, and both parties know beforehand and agree, I have no problem with that as long as they are both consenting adults. Live and let live is my motto.

By the way, to answer the thread title, yes, yes I would. I dont like the thought of my girlfriend having sex with other people, nor do i like the thought of other people watching, but if she were to decide thats what she wants to do then I would support her, because I love her and it would still be worth it, because I love her for who she IS, not who she does.

ok...now I'm confused about you Ibram. First you're gay but now you have a g/f. Are you batting for both teams???

Not gay, bi. You've got it there. I'm more on the gay side of it when it comes to personality, and in fact I would be unbelievably gay if I didnt love the womenfolk so much.

Well geez...I was just joking with that post, but thanks for your honesty Ibram. Sorry if I seemed to be prying. It definitely wasn't my intent.

Hmmm...if I told people I was bi I wonder if it'd have the same effect. Mind you, hubby keeps telling me I'm too expensive, so maybe I should try it.
