That's totally untrue. I'll readily get the pubic dental floss going on the first date if I feel like it, but it'll take quite some time before I start loving a partner.
I don't think Jealous fits to waht I'm thinking in my head. If I'm just in love with the girl and nothing else then it wouldn't be so bad, but if i'm in a physical relationship with her and she's "openly" seeing another man in the same way, that's just wrong.
"Open Relationship" is just a kinder way to say **** buddies.
You love your parents and relatives right? You don't go shagging them (Unless your... uhh.. different.)
Your friends, you love them in some way, there's a special bond between you both.
If you go and shag a hooker - She doesn't love you, you don't love her. She's doing it for cash to feed a drug habit (usually) and you're doing it because you're desperate and can't be arsed to do the work to find a partner.
If you have a partner and have sex, that's fine so long as that's not the only reason you got a partner in the first place.
And what would be classed as "cheating" since, unless you are married, there was no signing of contracts?
Sex has as much to do with love as eating or sleeping. It's all about having pleasure, it's not - fundamentally - about showing to your partner how much you love them - throwing yourself under a bus to save them from death does the job.
That's only my opinion, and (having been widely criticised by my friends before) I do not expect you to agree with me, but, in the way I see it, love is the natural extention of an intense relationship (regardless of sex). That's why you love your parents and your friends.
Choosing only one partner to have sex with is much more practical in financial and admistrative terms - not to mention it's far easier to control diseases that way - and, as animals, we tend to pick the best partner available to copulate with because that will enhance the chances of our kids being at least as 'evolved' as we are.Its also obvious that having sex with someone you care about is usually nice because you know exactly what to do and what to expect from him/her, and they'll always be there when you feel the need for it, but I do not believe that of almost seven billion people in the universe, we can "love" and committ our lives to only one person.
Furthermore, I do not understand why some people are against polygamy, having been involved in several relationships in their youth. Makes adolescence sound like an open-source demo to the proprietary software of adult life. You can date, kiss and have sex with as many people as possible, but in order to activate "lovecode" you need to purchase an individual license.
Not to mention there is, currently, only one truly monogomous species on the planet (a really ugly bird) and it's nearing extinction as a result of that monogomy.
That being said, when I'm in a relationship that person is the only person I'm "with." Though, if I'm not in a relationship, I'll be "with" whoever I please.
What you're referring to would be a **** buddy of some sort.
A friend, who you don't have feelings for, but root because you both can and enjoy it.
An open relationship is nothing like that. You're in a relationship, ie, you DO dedicate your lives to each other and spend time with each other as often as possible, but the only difference is you aren't exclusively ****ing, you can **** whoever the hell you feel like.
As i've said, sex does not equal love. If you've had it drilled into your head that sex = love, then what are you doing ****ing before marriage anyway? Wouldn't you want to save it for that "Special someone" ? lol
And whats sick and disgusting about it? Its no different than a guy or girl sleeping around with different people once in a while, the only difference is you're in a relationship and your other half is okay with it..
So we can assume you didn't love having it drilled into your head? I don't think I'd enjoy that either. Unlucky dude. Be careful who you accept drinks from.
It depends on the sex. If you're having sex solely for physical pleasure, then it's not love. If you're having sex because you feel intensely sexually attracted to someone, then that is, in my opinion, a type of love. Love can mean many different things.
