Psychology Sex: A Discussion

Ah, but who says God didn't want evil?

But porn has existed for a long, long, long, long, long time... in fact the two buildings ALWAYS found in ancient cities were a brewery and a brothel.

 

It's called playing Devil's Advocate. What good are beliefs if they are not questioned and defended well?

Edit: It's not like I ever said he was wrong or had to believe what I do. However, there were a couple weak points in his argument, and I simply highlighted them. Note that I didn't even touch the majority of his argument.

Secondary Edit: Look at my first post and you see my views have some bits in common with his.

Tertiary Edit: If I really wanted to be a prick I could always bring up the study that showed the religious as having the highest divorce rate and ask about what was -really- degrading marriage...

 

Sex is always good (unless it's rape,obviously).People just need to chill the hell out sometimes,they let it get to them too much.

 

good point, i agree with you on that.

i think that sex is something that should be shared only by those who are inlove. but in our time people just talk too much about sex. u can hear the word "sex" anywhere: on tv, in the park, in the shopping mall etc... i dont know why out of all the things in the world people choose to talk about sex, espacially teenagers. about 50 years ago no one ever talked about it, but now its like a coolest thing to talk about.

 

weeeell. sex really doesn't matter to everyone...what i mean is that some people don't care HOW or WHY you have sex...just don't announce it to the whole fricken world!!>.<....,like neph said....dolphins and bonobos use sex as a means of stress relief and bonding......so why does HUMAN sex have to be ONLY about love?

 

Heheh, yes, sex has proven health benefits. The chemicals released by your brain at orgasm are "feel-good" chemicals, which has a lot to do with the stress-relief part - they're good for depression too. Sex burns lots of calories, so it can help you lose weight. XD And in women, because the uterus contracts during orgasm (in a different way than it does during birth contractions, mind you), it can even help with (pre)menstrual cramping.

>_> I know way too much about sex for someone who's still a virgin... *LOL*

 

if sex isnt sinfull for animals then why should it be for people? sheesh my friends rabbits were doing it for six hours straight, and god didnt send his angels to pull them into hell :anime: now people usualy divide sex in 2 different ways of looking at it, good and bad, like adults usualy say that its bad, but i dont even want to know how many times theyve done it, and teenagers usualy say its cool.

 

Well, I think the standard argument would be that animals (excluding dolphins and bonobos) have sex only for reproductive purposes, without conscious lust, love, or desire tied into the act in the same way that they would be for us. There are very few animals that could be said to have a concept of morality or social taboo; it's when a human consciously violates a societal taboo that what they've done is "wrong" or "sinful." (After all, I believe that most people would delegate ignorance as unfortunate but not sinful - i.e., if you don't understand that what you've done is wrong, you should not be punished, but taught.)

As I see it, sex is bad when it harms one or more parties involved physically, emotionally, spiritually, or financially, either through carelessness or through deliberate action. But the same can be said of ANY act. I don't think that sex in itself is inherently any better or worse than anything else that two+ people can do together - it's just that it's one of those things where, if you're irresponsible, the consequences are a lot greater.

For the record, I'm 21 - does that put me in your "adults" group or your "teenagers" group, jakotsu chan? XD

 

what i mean is like parents, or people in mid/late thirties or early forties and up, sorry for being unclear.
