Poll: would you marry someone even if it meant giving up sex forever?

[BoberFett]

Sht, I've already given up sex forever. Marriage would just be a roommate with a legal contract.

 

[pkypkypky]

can we still fool around?

 

[lebe0024]

eeeee... tough question. Marriage, I believe, is when two flesh become one. This is obviously more than sex, but it's included in there. I don't know if I would marry someone who had an injury of some sort that would make it unable for us to have sex. But, then again, it all depends.

 

[compuwiz1]

Um, let me think....... No!

IMO, it is natural to be sexual, unless by some act of nature or disease it were not possible. If one were impaired, I think it would be considerate to let the other express
their sexual outlet in other ways.

i think you'd come to an understanding to get your needs met whether or not you have to pay for it if i got incapcitated i'd buy my wife a sybian... those things seem pretty damn effective no male equiv until those awesome sexbots from ai come out

<< Mookow, wow I'm surprised you remembered that...posted about that quite a while ago. >>



It wasnt exactly your everyday event. *shrugs* (about me remembering, not about the event) >>



True but I didn't even make a thread about it, I just mentioned it in someone else's thread. Unless you've got me confused w/someone else.



<< Yeah. The frustration might lead, eventually, to you getting bitter and transfering it to other aspects of your relationship. Which would make it an even less ideal marriage. >>



You're probably right.

 

[Cattlegod]

this poll doesn't work well here, i mean, how many guys have actually had sex on these boards

 

[jjones]

This is kind of a bizarre hypothetical question.

Would I marry someone I love and give up sex? No way.

Would I marry someone I loved and accept not having traditional sex and children? Sure, as long as she either gave good head or allowed me to take care of my sexual needs.

Life is too short and sex is too good to give it up.

 

[spaceman]

well, i guess i would...there is always "Handy Andy or "Rosie Palm" around:Q

 

[veryape]

Believe me, once most people are married that is pretty much what happens anyhow. I've seen it happen to many people and I truly hope it doesn't happen to me, but you never know, right?

On the original question, yes, i'd give up sex without hesitation if I really loved the woman and it was out of both of our control.

 

I was about to say, "you damn bet I would". However, I'm too scared to say it since you haven't been more forthcoming about your hypothetical situation. What if this person was some transsexual or homo. I'm not about to marry one even if I have "so much feelings" for ???. I'm sure there are some possibilities as scary as the forementioned that I have not thought about.

Anyway, so my answer now is 'inconclusive/contingent' until you respond to my implied objection. :Q

 

[Elledan]

Where's the option for 'single for life'?

 

[spankyj]

To deny sexuality is to deny a part of human nature I believe.
I am married, and I answered no. There is a reason that I have a wife, just like there is a reason that I have a male best friend. If I wanted to go without sex for life, I would have married him instead. It's unrealistic to believe that someone can subdue sexual feelings for life.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Sex is a perk, not the driving force, behind a marriage (or atleast that's the way it should be). Yes, I would easily marry someone if all forms of sexual relations were not ever available.

[Muadib]

In a word, NO!!!

Well for my hypothetical question I wasn't really taking that sort of thing into consideration, so let's say that it does not include homosexual or transexual people, if you really have something against them.

I think that's what the "So" category is for.

Cobalt - Until you are married, you can't possibly answer that question.

And until you know me, you can't possibly think I couldn't.

Edit: By all forms of sex I mean anything sexual would be out of the question.

damn, i was gonna pull a bill clinton on u too...

You're both full of it. This pseudo-romanticism can't transcend your desires.

Think what you wish. I am the exception to every rule. Ask eyecandy.

I am not a slave to sex, nor am I addicted. Come on... if sex has that much of a grip on your life, you got problems. Yes, it's human nature, but it's not a necessity and you should be able to live without it.

Yah, you keep telling yourself that...

Oh, damn, I forgot, you're better than most men.

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

Besides... sex is a way to show your love that you love them, but it isn't the only way. Why is this so hard to understand?
