I Luv the Chariot OH Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I hug my guy friends and link arms with them. I know lots of people that have no problem with their significant other kissing friends and aquaintances as a greeting. There are open relationships where the partners do have sex with other people (not that I condone this). Furthermore, people very often have sex OUTSIDE relationships. Does that mean every person you have casual sex with is automatically considered a relationship?

noclobber Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 I hug my guy friends and link arms with them. I know lots of people that have no problem with their significant other kissing friends and aquaintances as a greeting. There are open relationships where the partners do have sex with other people (not that I condone this). Furthermore, people very often have sex OUTSIDE relationships. Does that mean every person you have casual sex with is automatically considered a relationship? In my opinion if a couple has sex with others then that is cheating. Casual sex and one night stands are also a form of cheating. come on, tomorrow if my girlfriend says to me "hey guess what? i had a one night-stand with a guy yesterday" do you think i would feel happy? i don't know about others but i wouldn't be too pleased. hugging, kissing on the cheeks are totally acceptable.. i don't see any thing threatening there. teacooler has vey well listed out all the physical aspects that i am talking about..
noclobber Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 i edited that because i felt like i was being snarky, noclobber. sorry you had to see it first. its okay. this is a forum and people are free to express their opinions! just don't make it personal.
noclobber Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 okay Teacooler and I luv the chariot, i am done for the day and leaving! but please feel free to post your disagreements with me again, all that i am saying is that sex or physical intimacy is an essential ingredient in a relationship between a couple. i am not saying that sex is the only thing in a relationship. enjoy the rest of your weekend
I Luv the Chariot OH Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 noclobber: casual sex implies sex without a relationship. It's different from infidelity. There was a thread a few months ago arguing how essential sex was to a relationship, and I was among a minority saying it wasn't--maybe it is for some couples it is, as they rely on it to make up for other things--but I think the ideal relationship doesn't need it at all.
TeaCooler Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 again, all that i am saying is that sex or physical intimacy is an essential ingredient in a relationship between a couple. i agree with you there. i think the desire alone is enough. not all couples have sex. i was in a relationship at 14 or 15. we didn't have sex. but hoooooooooo boy did i want it. i didn't feel that way with my friends. i miss those days of pure, unbridled passion, even if you're not meant to have it at that age.
noclobber Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 okay ladies, now we got to apologize to the Original Poster for hijacking his thread :p
I Luv the Chariot OH Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 We're not hijacking it, we're...uh...testing the validity of his sentiments! Yeah! (Sorry, thread-starter.)
noclobber Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 We're not hijacking it, we're...uh...testing the validity of his sentiments! Yeah! (Sorry, thread-starter.) :lmao: Right on! Sorry OP
TeaCooler Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 i think all the things we talked about stayed on-topic. he can read our conversation and feel out how others perceive what a sexless relationship would be like, or what it even is. now, if we started talking about cheese, or carburetors or something, yeah, we'd be off-topic. but i think we're okay on this one.
