Although I'm told fear can produce a similar response. I've not tested it, of course. But I presume consent isn't necessary - a woman can not consent to sex and still be aroused/have an orgasm, so I don't know that the same can't be true of a man. Not to mention things like Viagra. You can't change the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails. | ||

Mind you, a good friend of wanted to wait with sex until her wedding night. On one side, you'd say 'foolish' but on the other hand - I doubt she and her husband are using any contraceptives (for religious reasons) other than the 'natural' methods. Conceiving kids out of wedlock and all that.

However lovely the person was, I simply couldn't be with someone I wasn't sexually compatible with. I've done it before, and it ends in tears. | ||

See, I've felt that connection for sure. No doubt. However, sometimes that's with people I love, and sometimes with a fuck buddy. And I've felt it fairly easily, though it's a small percentage of the partners I've had. One of the things I've noticed is that sometimes that incredible connection is there for a few times, but not others. Ot sometimes, everything will fall into place just right and bam, that spark ignites. For me that means it's not just about the person, it's about the circumstances surrounding the play that enable me to make that bond happen. To address the question- if I was monogamous, yes, sexual chemistry consistantly would be very important, and the lack of it would be a dealbreaker. However, I'm not, so I can enjoy the sexual energy of multiple people, and together, they make... Captaiin Planet! Wait, no. But they do make me happy and a satisfied kitten.

I've been in love a few times with people with whom the sex was very tender, very meaningful, but still not as the Inner Whore describes in a great post. This was all a good long while ago when I had more hang-ups than a puppet theatre, so it says more about me than anything else, perhaps. | ||

personally, if i'm in love with someone, the sex isn't that important, as long as there is lots of physical affection.
i don't think this perspective is too common... maybe because i'm so gosh darn good at masturbating!!

Absolutely, agreed. My current GF was a bit of a kink virgin but with a promising sadistic streak and quite a dominant personality. She's taken to it like a duck to water and we haven't looked back. Does she enjoy tying me up and whipping my ass? Is the sex great? Hell yeah! Edited 5 May 09, 4:03 AM by Trussedworthy | ||

Another fan of The_Inner_Whore's posting. I think we yearn for intimacy, for closeness, self disclosure, and for mutuality; and in sexual and BDSM interactions we find and express these desires in a most intense and personal way. Even in asymmetrical BDSM interactions I think it's still about mutual giving. There are other kinds of intimacy and commitment which are equally valid as part of a rich and varied life. Like Scribbles I don't think we need necessarily to depend on a single partner to satuisfy all our varied and varying needs and desires.

Great sex, is the responsibility of both parties. Sometimes some, just need a little guidance, to what makes you tick
I look at the bigger picture, and believe many that do not match in sexual style/technique etc, have had very bad sexual partners or people that have just put up and shut up lol. So nothing wrong with a lil education
I also agree, that being in love, and being loved, usually outweighs everything
