Yes. Yes, i..."Sex itself is important."<br /><br />Yes. Yes, it is.

It's more likely that the real culprit in the "sex screwed it all up" situations could've been solved with more realistic expectations and better self-awareness in the first place.IveyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752315896121837812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-16193536740837001842010-01-28T15:24:32.987-05:002010-01-28T15:24:32.987-05:00Huh.

Whatever our individual "things" may be, we tend to get more motivated to write by the stuff that pisses us off about that subject, and it can drown out the _love_ behind it.elmo iscariothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14710846725911318970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-21662351168235350522010-01-28T10:48:27.636-05:002010-01-28T10:48:27.636-05:00Ivey - I don't know your friends, but unfortun...Ivey - I don't know your friends, but unfortunately, sex sometimes does mess up friendships. (And sometimes it doesn't. I'm still friends with lots of people I've had sex with.) But people sometimes get weird about it.<br /><br />I think <a href="http://www.xkcd.com/592/" rel="nofollow">this comic</a> explains.Cliff Pervocracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02080142422250604406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-41633246983167386962010-01-28T08:21:26.912-05:002010-01-28T08:21:26.912-05:00"it could also lead to less good sex and [ ] ..."it could also lead to less good sex and [ ] that is wrong."<br /><br />I couldn't agree more. In addition to the simple "sex is sinful" mantra I also internalized "sex ruins friendships." I now have friends in my circle that I've known for over 20 years. At gatherings and whatnot we often laugh about our "missed opportunities." But would really have destroyed these friendships? Really? Or would they have been closer for the shared intimacy? Or have more fun or funny memories of a shared moment of exploration and discovery? Or, as you put it, a shared joy?<br /><br />People's interests and circumstance change as time moves forward and some chances just don't come back for a variety of good and not-so-good reasons. C'est la vie. But seriously, we were robbed.IveyLanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752315896121837812noreply@blogger.com
