Thank you.
I still have my pleasant memories.
Oh boy, do I have memories!
Well for starters…
Yeah, that’s like, way too long.
Maybe you should bring a book.
Touché.
I can’t have sex 5 or 6 times a week. I’ve never been able to have sex 5 or 6 times a week.
There was another thread recently on this very topic, and I am definitely an outlier in how long it takes me to “recharge” afterwards.
We’re all wired differently, of course. I’d rather have good sex once a month than routine sex 5 times a week. Again, this is just me and we’re all different. I know my preferences are different, for sure.
It depends on how you define “sex”. And that’s a much more complex question than it may first appear to be.
I think it depends on how sexuality compatible you are. I was married for 17 years and for the last three, maybe even longer, our sex life was practically non-existent. We were on opposite ends of the spectrum… everything I desired, he had hangups with. We drifted apart on many different levels, but the lack of it, and the differences between us were too much.
My guy now is adventurous and giving (like me) and although we both lead busy lives, we make a point to satisfy each other as often as we can. These days I walk around with a smile on my face instead of a frown. It took until my late forties to find him! No, right now, at this time in my life - sex is not overrated.
UGH! Hate it when I don’t notice mistakes and the editing time runs out. Meant to type “sexually compatible…” not “sexuality…”:smack:
Female. I was in a long-distance relationship for years, and the sex was definitely not the big part of our relationship (obviously). We’re still great friends now that there isn’t any sex.
That said, sex has been a big part of the short-distance relationships I’ve had, and I’d be upset if it weren’t. Definitely not overrated for me.
Well here you go. Male, 35, never had really great sex. Also been on antidepressants since I was 13, but I don’t think that’s the reason. (Though the underlying depression very well likely is.) Being stoned definitely makes it better though. I’ve had some fairly mind-blowing sexual experiences stoned, but unfortunately I was alone at the time. Sober, eh, take it or leave it.
Thanks for sharing!!
I’m not alone you guys! I’m not a stranger to getting stoned, (these days not so much), but doesn’t that ultimately impair one’s sexual prowess?
I could ask “Is food overrated?”
I like to eat, I have a few restaurants I go to often, I have tried a great number of different dishes. I cannot understand people who view eating as entertainment - the folks who will follow a celebrity chef or spend good money eat a meal made to hardly resemble food at all. I just don’t get the level of attention given to food, special restauants, or strange recipes.
BUT, I also recognize that literally de gustibus, and so I do not make a big deal out of my incomprehension, nor to I (publically) question the sanity of those who do enjoy eating to that level of obsession.
But you *NEED *food to live. I see your point though. Sex can differ.
Male, 55, married 23 years, essentially celibate the last 8.
Overrated.
You know how they say that evolution has made sex pleasurable to ensure the survival of the species? Well, it’s worse than that. Mother Nature obviously does not need you to enjoy sex. She only needs you to think you will.
I think people are treating the question as, “Could you live without sex or infrequent sex?”
Not the same thing.
Male. It’s not as great as some drugs are but it’s still pretty good. It would be hard for me to pick between sex and getting drunk and high and listening to good music. Ideally I would be able to do both at the same time, but if I had to decide between the two? Hard decision.
Bet I could make an educated guess…
Male. Yeah, it’s overrated once you feel as though you’ve had a good run of it. It would take someone really “special” (no, not a retarded chick) to be like yeah bitch! rather than well, let’s go, baby – show me what you got!
Making love is about the top of the list for me pleasure-wise, but intercourse itself is a little overrated. I’d much rather exchange oral and manual pleasure for an hour with a partner who knows what she’s doing than engage in more lackluster PIV.
