As Charles Foster Kane probably said in a private moment, it’s easy to have sex, if what you want to do is have sex. ---

> [@Robot\_Arm](#): > > Everything I know how, which seems to not be enough. > > Actually, that’s too flippant an answer to a sincere question. I kind of agree with **Leaffan** ’s post. If I just wanted sex, divorced from all sense of responsibility, companionship, and bonding, then I could go someplace where prostitution is legal. That doesn’t appeal to me. So you’re answering the wrong question; you don’t want sex, you want a relationship. Good. ---

If only I was smart enough to understand this, I’m sure I’d laugh, or maybe knowingly stroke my beard and nod, staring into the middle distance.☹ ---

That’s a pretty cynical view. How bout because you love having sex and being close to someone? Best feeling in the world. 100% ---

100%. 53, married and in love. Yeah, 100%. We are best friends, we both enjoy it, and we each enjoy enhancing the other’s pleasure. It’s a very intimate act of expression, but it’s not just about the physical act. Sex without intimacy is just getting laid, having a simple roll in the hay. But being friends, enjoying each other’s company and having good conversations, doing things together whether it’s traveling to new places, seeing and experiencing new things, or just grocery shopping; and then to have a good sex life on top of that (no pun intended), it enhances the intimacy in our relationship. ---

0%. I’m single now and extremely happy being that way. After a marriage and a couple of serious relationships hence, I’m blissing out being by myself. The mere thought of going through all the effort to meet someone, get through the smalltalk and the preliminaries to finally doing the sexy thing bores me to tears to be honest! Eternally celibate and grooving! kam! ---
