Is sex worth the effort? Discuss.

[PSU84]

I mean, don't you ever find yourself thinking "I wonder how the (insert your favorite team's name here) did today?" while in the middle (beginning or end) of if?

[NC_Nurse]

1. NO, never.

But then again, I never think that anyway. I hate sports. :-)

[Demeter]

2. Love Is Worth the Effort

Sex is a pale imitation. With artificial sweeteners, which cause cancer.

[JohnKleeb]

3. I hear it's a nice experience

but what do I know, I am a 17 virgin.

[eyesroll]

4. If I simply discounted all sex for my ability to be distracted during it..

I'd never, ever have any, ever.

Doesn't mean it's not worth the effort.

Just means I lack focus. I don't mind wondering if I remembered to take the ground beef out of the freezer for dinner if, well, I'm having sex too.

[tjdee]

5. Never think that. But, I'm not in a long term relationship.

I always wonder if that happens inevitably when you've been with someone for years and years.

[Spinzonner]

6. That's why its important to make sure

that your partner makes all the effort.

[PSU84]

7. LOL!

Now THAT's funny!

[Magrittes Pipe]

8. No.

That's why I prefer masturbation.

[ofrfxsk]

9. Absolutely

I hope you're joking. I've been with my SO for over 12 years. We love each other more now than ever and the sex? I don't want to make anyone blush. It gets better and better when you're with the right person.

[PVnRT]

10. I remember having sex

If I ever got it, I would probably not be thinking about the Wolverines.

[WindRavenX]

11. Sex is the most spiritual thing known to me

Whenever I make love with my boyfriend, it's like an out of body experience.
It is truly knowing another's heart. It's terrifying, in a way.
But nirvana.

[PSU84]

14. OK, you can have my phone #.

But your B/F has got to go! ;-)

[WindRavenX]

15. LOL

I don't want him to go though ;)

[UpsideDownFlag]

12. effort?

what is this effort you speak of?

ah, to be young and virile.

[IronLionZion]

13. Hey, it's worth it even when free!

:evilgrin:

[Berserker]

17. Sex is a wonderful thing

but I wish we could all switch partners once a week. I bet Viagra sales would plumit!:evilgrin:

[IronLionZion]

23. I'd be up for switching partners

since mine is imaginary! :P

[ldf]

16. well, it would be best

if after it's over all you had to do was say:

"Computer, end program".

:-)

[MrSlayer]

18. When I'm gettin busy sports are the furthest thing from my mind.

Nothing is better than dealing out the pleasure.

[NightTrain]

19. You mean, with a partner?

In my case, the answer is no. There's way too much aggravation involved!

[radwriter0555]

20. Then yer DOIN' it wrong.

A little romance and real lovin' goes a long way.

[catzies]

21. I have actually said that exact statement aloud in flagrante delicto

The team being the Lakers.

It was during the playoffs.

Priorities.

[mark414]

22. the effort

that goes into trying to get sex is not worth it.

however, after all that hard work, you need to get your frustration and stress out somehow, wherein it becomes definitely worth it

[fortyfeetunder]

24. No way would I be distracted.

Only one game at a time :)

[tigereye]

25. yes definitely worth the effort

sometimes one is distracted, sometimes not. Just seems to get better, too, the older one gets... which is a nice thought.

[Endangered Specie]

26. Locking...

In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.... ;)

[JackDragna]

27. Nope.

Here's how sex breaks down:

1. Meet a person you might be interested in having sex with, all the while awkwardly trying to break the ice due to either the other person's or your own social imcompetence.
2. Get to know said person. Pretend to like things they like, like boy bands, little ceramic figurines, NASCAR, golf, jerk chicken..you get the idea.
3. Give gifts to the person, buy them dinner, take them out and do many other things for a long while that cost money. Lots of money. Gobs of stinking, stinking money.
4. Have sex. Sex, in America, is defined as a five-minute act with someone who acts like an epileptic walrus because said person doesn't do a damn thing to ever improve their lovemaking skills.

Time investment to get to sex: A week, minimum, most of the time.
Time investment having sex: Five minutes.

Worth it? Hell no. Catch up on some reading. Watch paint dry. Brush your teeth. Always remember that, in a relationship, you spend FAR more time doing degrading, stupid, self-abusive things to make your partner "happy" than you spend doing fun things like sex or watching "Cops." Sex is fleeting, but emotionally-hurt exes fuck with you forever.

[PSU84]

28. A very thoughtful reply.

I admit that sex is necessary (at present) for procreation.

But otherwise?

Let's just cuddle.

I get better orgasms on my own....

[barb162]

29. but sex isn't necessary for procreation any more

what with petri dishes and all, frozen embryos, etc

[Nikia]

35. If it were only 5 minutes I wouldn't get distracted

Sometimes I get distracted, sometimes not. I am less likely to get distracted if it lasts under a half hour because I don't have a long attention span.
My husband and I aren't very demanding of each other. Of course sex is worth it.

[Spinzonner]

36. Aside from your cynicism

I do wonder how you are so familiar with Epileptic Walruses.

[Dastard Stepchild]

30. Not really...

It just falls too low on the list of priorities lately. Perhaps not permanently, but definitely in the interim.

[Ron Green]

31. I can't resist a joke here....n/t

[Ron Green]

32. Why do women fake orgasm?

....They think men care.

[Kat45]

33. Yes.

And when the sex is good, it can distract you from other shit going on in your life.

[Pale Blue Dot]

34. I miss it very much.

I NEVER thought about sports in the middle of it.
