I just wanted to note that the condom is more apt to break if you use two, so double-wrapping really isn’t a good idea. Combining two different methods of protection _is_ a good idea.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread.

Oh, and **Anubis** , I apologize for laughing at you earlier; that was wrong of me. I’m glad you’ve gotten some more serious answers to your post.

My opinion? I don’t do it, but I see no harm in talkng about it. (First person to make a crack about practicing what I preach … :D)

**Geobabe** : Exactly. Sometimes it’s just sex. People forget that, on a basic level, humans are animals like any other. They have, well, animal needs. We can dress it up all we like with high-falutin’ ideals, but at bottom, we have a hard time ignoring our reptilian hindbrain.

**Turbo Dog** : Bwahahaha! Laugh of the week (even though the week has just begun; I’m sure this will last a while for me). “Dogs eating pork chops from human lips”?

Sorry, **Anubis** and **Dale the Bold** (snicker); you’re just a couple of prudes. And I don’t mean that in a good way. It’s stupefying to me that someone would (as **Anubis** has) open a thread to ask for some sex-related definitions, then demand the thread be closed almost immediately because she’s gotten the information she needs, and doesn’t want all that icky sex talk polluting her monitor (she’s possessed! She didn’t mean to read that stuff! Honest!). And then to further decry the preponderance of sex-related topics on this board. Get used to it, sweetie; people like sex, and most like to talk about it, at least in a (relatively) anonymous environment like this, where they can say things they wouldn’t necessarily say in person.

Gosh. Didn’t know I had it in me. Guess I’ll climb down now.

Well, that’s a half truth. Yes, double wrapping can lead to ONE of the two condoms to break. However, the odds that BOTH condoms break are… well, I haven’t calculated them, but they’re pretty fucking astronomical. I know of some people who use three. At that point, I wonder why they don’t just masturbate. It’d probably be more enjoyable.

One condom: prevents desise.

Two condoms: decrease sensitivity

Three condoms: make it bigger

This whole post is the funniest goddamn thing I’ve seen this week. **Turbo Dog** , you are on my list of heroes now, and your place of honor at the Virtual Orgy and **Fenris** -shaving Festival is guaranteed. Ask **Tequila** to come along!

And **Dale the Bold**. Dear, repressed, worried, **Dale.** I know it upsets you that many Dopers like sex, and would like to have it as much as possible. You may find it reassuring to remind yourself that a _much_ smaller percentage of us want to have sex that involves you in any capacity. Under any conditions. Ever.

**Dale** , I’m not sure if this is relevant at all, but here goes.

I believe love is neccesary for sex. For **me** anyway. I have premarital sex, with one person and one person only. And guess what? **It’s fun**. It’s fun because it is supposed to be, that is how we humans reproduce.

And I understand being uncomfortable with some sexual acts, and even sex talk. A lot of stuff on here makes me blush to read it. But you know what? I try not to impose my morals on anyone else. I’m a better person that way.

[parts have been translated into vulgar drunken oaf, so you all can understand]

This one’s to all the fuck-happy primates who can’t keep their dick in their pants.Why in the fuck do you have to become assholes who shit out psychobabble any time someone says that there is wisdom in treasuring one’s virginity? What the hell is wrong with someone saying that there should be love between people having sex? Now comes the knee-jerk reaction of “but you can’t judge who is in love.” You’re right I can’t, but you can never convince me that meeting a stranger and bringing him/her home for an all night fuckfest and then never seeing them again is “love.” My definition of love is that it is patient. Imagine if your trailer home was “tooken.” Your spouse was gone, too. Do you run to the back seat of one of your neighbor’s rusty yard-cars to “get some,” or do you wait and see if your spouse comes back? How long do you wait?

I have high standards of what love should be. So what? Does that mean I should be labeled “depressed” or somehow dysfunctional? Fuck that. I want to marry someone who wouldn’t fuck everything within her parameter that isn’t dead or on fire. Doesn’t “one and only” mean anything to you? Love between people means sacrifice, I want to spend my life with someone who carries herself with dignity and can resist the temptation of some horny asshole who is looking at her like a piece of meat.

Yes, sex can and should be a wonderful thing. It’s not disgusting, it’s not gross, but when it exists outside of love I find it sickening. Married people can use whatever weird-ass techniques, positions, culinary experiments, and other crazy shit that they want and that’s fine because they’ve sworn their commitment to one another. But then people insist that their girl/boyfriend of x years “loves” them, why don’t you prove it and fucking marry them you coward. Any man who can’t keep his dick in his pants is a complete wimp, not a man. Love is the greatest thing in the world, but I think people disgrace it by claiming that unloving sex is “making love.” Maybe we have different definitions of love, but you choose to belittle me rather than explain your perspective, let alone listen to mine. That perpetuates ignorance.

“Prude” comes from prudent, meaning “wise in handling practical matters.” You pride yourself on being unwise? Why does wisdom make me a freak? You fuckers (literally). “It feels good” is not a reason for doing something. It would “feel good” to kick your ass right now, but that would be assault and battery so wisdom steps in and keeps me from acting upon that impulse, as much as I would love to do it. The payoff is better for wisdom than it is for satisfying a simple urge.

Think of it this way, consider a person who chooses to be a vegetarian (abstaining from eating meat), then they seek a partner who also abstains from eating meat. You wouldn’t think they have psychological problems do you? So why the hell do people treat me like a freak because I think people should wait until marriage before having sex?

Yeah, that’s terrific and that’s fine. My morals would say wait until marriage, but I can understand you perfectly and I am not telling you what to do. Nor have I ever tried to “impose” morals on anyone. I have only asked questions and stated my observations and opinions. What I don’t like is when people think that I’m acting superior or telling them what to do, or when they treat me like some kind of mentally unstable deviant because I believe in waiting until marriage. It’s prejudice, plain and simple, and should not be tolerated. “Prude” is being tossed around like “fundie” and other terms that people get lumped into. So I want to wait until marriage and I think other people “should” as well, why does that mean I get judged like that? Just because my opinion is unpopular shouldn’t bring on a lynching, I never told people what to do, I simply told them how I feel about an issue. People ask questions here and hope for various perspectives. It’s terrible that the “different” one is silenced so quickly.

Oh, please - I’m a slut that’ll sleep with someone on the first date, and I’ve also been in long-term monogamous relationships. My best friends have been together for almost 10 years, two more are devout Christians who won’t have sex until at least six months into a dating relationship, and me and a friend are contemplating having a 3-way with some cute boy(s) should the opportunity arise.

Life is a continuum. I ain’t judging you for your sexual habits, don’t judge me for mine.

In a nutshell - my sex life affects you… how, exactly?

Dale,

In all seriousness, not that it’s worth that, I think what is the problem here is that you dan’t practice what you are preaching. You wanna know why people don’t respect your opinion that it’s best to wait til marriage for sex while at the same time you’re refering to those who disagree with your oh-so-holy writ handed from on high as “fuck-happy primates”,“Any man who can’t keep his dick in his pants is a complete wimp, not a man.”, "some horny asshole " and other garbage. You want respect, you give respect. NOBODY would have said word one if you’d posted “well, I don’t like sex threads because I think sex is special and am waiting for marriage” I dare say you might have gotten some props for making a hard choice. Instead you came in spewing filth and superiority, and this is what you get.

Finally, don’t you dare tell me how I can or can not use my sexuality. You have no right. It is mine, and mine alone. I can share it only with one special woman, fuck every skirt that wiggles by, masterbate a syphilitic badger, give the Pope a blow job, stick my dick in the pickle slicer, shove a 1948 Oldsmobile Rocket 88 tailpipe up my ass or masterbate until my dick bleeds. IT’S **MY** CHOICE, and not you, your friends, your mother, the President or Jesus Christ desended from on high\* has the right to tell me what to do with it. If you tried in real life, I’d rip your virginal dick off and beat you so badly that the only way you’d ever get laid is by a drunken, blind Basque shepphard who mistakes you for his favorite ewe. Get a (sex) life.

\*[sub]This is actually consistant with the Theological philosophy of free will, so don’t get all excited[/sub]

No, it isn’t just because your opinion is unpopular. It’s because you **are** trying to tell us what to do. You are saying that your moral code is the right one and should be applicable to everyone. As well, you are calling us “fuck-happy primates” and saying what we do is sickening. Oh yeah, really non-judgemental there.

And something else, your comments on marriage (my copy function is screwing up, sorry I can’t quote):

Again, you’re really not judging us here. And just for your information, there are people who, though are in love, are in situations where they cannot get married. **Esprix** can’t, yet. I’m only 19 and still living with my parents. I need to be at least partway through all the university I’m planning on before I can get married. That doesn’t mean my boyfriend and I love each other any less.

Gee, maybe I should have clarified my “judgmental” comments by starting my rant with something like the following:

> [@](#):

> \*\*[parts have been translated into vulgar drunken oaf, so you all can understand] \*\*

I ranted in defense. Notice I said “you all,” not implying that everyine is stupid, but that even those who are stupid can understand. There are a lot of people who approch sex like animals. If I comment on that, that’s my opinion and observation. Sex happens between animals. They have no wisdom or, heh heh, prudence to fall into what we call love. Love varies in definition from person to person, so who cares how one person defines it versus another. LaurAnge, I have no opposition against your relationship or anything you have said, so don’t be offended.

The reason I used the vegetarian analogy is that often times, a vegetarian chooses to be because he/she feels that eating meat is immoral. Does that mean I should be offended as a meat-eater? No, it’s their opinion and they can think I’m immoral, but they’re not telling me what to do simply by telling me what they find to be immoral or even disgusting. It’s their opinion and I respect it. I only get pissed when people resort to name calling and insults. My retaliation of insults was intended for them. Don’t try and force yourself to be included in those who I insulted.

For me, it sets unreasonably high standards, dammit. Do you know how much I wanna sleep around on the first date? **DO YOU?!**. But often…I must wait 'till the second, third or fourth.\<sob\>

But you, you stud-god, you get all those Asian studmuffins falling all over you, begging for your manly body. I keep expecting the same sort of reaction from my potential paramours, and yet, I fall short of the mark, the glory that is _ **Esprix** _

You have hundreds, thousands of fans. And what do I get? Nuthin’.

You, my friend, have set a hurdle I cannot leap.
