I am sorry to hear that anyone needs viagra. I am talking about the making love experience, not just having random intercourse with any ???person
So, I guess you are sorry for yourself? With those beliefs of yours, I seriously doubt you can get anything up.
rmfr
I am female.
Still applicable.
rmfr
I doubt it.
I fall in love with every random person I bone, er.... um.... make love to.... for a night. Intercourse is never random. I have to unzip and unbutton my pants, take off my underwear, find a comfortable place on the ground, find a way to stop the screaming .... Nothing Random about it.
Classy
Simples
We "all" do not.
Are you talking about priests and nuns?
How does it come about? It usually starts with flirting.
Nope.
The human experience is much more varied than your limited view. There are celibates, both voluntary and involuntary, those with deformed or non existent, damaged, genetically different sexual organs. Those that are psychologically incapable of intimacy to name but a few.
Your choice of an absolute is flawed.
Have it your way. You know I believe this is hell for some people. So why do most of us have the making love experience?
@ Santa
Now you are trying a presuppositionalist argument.
Most humans have a sexual experience of some kind even if it is only with themselves.
The sexual drive is hard wired into our psyche, indeed into almost every binary (sexual) species on earth.
Humans are not unique, it is how we all procreate.
In humans that is now changing , as is the process of giving birth with many women in "advanced' countries opting for cesareans or surrogate parenthood for cosmetic or emotional reasons. Many women (and I have no doubt, men) will be able to artificially inseminate as partners are no longer physically necessary.
And back to your OP many women and girls do not have that 'making love' experience as they are thrust into arranged marriages and (though not legally by definition) raped throughout their lives.
If you have had "the making love experience" then you are lucky in comparison to many, many women in most religions.
Please do not equate having loving sex therefore god. It's ridiculous.
Did you go to a Christian College?
Heck no, I was raised by atheists and I am not even a Christian. I think everyone who is not in hell here has the making love experience, and my question is why do we have that amazing experience and what is causing it?
@ Senta
I think everyone who is not in hell here has the making love experience, and my question is why do we have that amazing experience and what is causing it?
Ok. So everyone who has NOT had the "lovemaking experience" (as yet undefined) but not including loveless sex, rape or masturbation, physical or psychological barriers to having that experience, is (according to your unevidenced assertion) in hell.
Well...we have had some looney tunes posting here but ...really....I am undecided to laugh or cry at sheer idiocy of this statement.
I guess it was worded awkwardly. For the purposes of this, lets limit it to people living in the United States since that is the country I am in and I am not discussing third world problems. So- to be more specific, I think it is fair to say most people in the U.S, and on this thread have probably been in love and while in love, probably experienced an amazing love making experience that was almost spiritual (remember that I did say MOST, not all)and I am truly sorry if you don't know what I am referring to.
@ Santa
I would love to get your stats for "most", especially in the US, which in parts of the country are the most repressed outside of Pakistan. Child marriage is still legal in some States, which can hardly be described as the union of soulmates. .
I for one am well aware of what you are referring to when you say " amazing love making experience". It is a shame that you cannot express yourself clearly.
You have been misled. No one in the United States is repressed and child marriage is not legal in any state.
You're wrong on both counts. https://www.watchdog.org/national/analysis-child-marriage-is-legal-in-u-...
That is not child marriage. People can get married at 16 in the US if they have permission from their parents. 16 years old is not a child.
Back in the 1960s, Jerry Lee Lewis (Great Balls of Fire) came to New Zealand on tour with his 13-year-old wife in tow. We were all pretty disgusted, because having sex with a 13yo was (and is) completely illegal. The government wanted to deport the swine, but in the end they compromised by putting her in a different hotel. They were legally married in Tennessee.
[EDIT]
When I said "swine", I was referring to Jerry, not his child-bride.
And if I remember correctly, and may not due me failing memory, the State of Delaware still has a law where it is legal for marriage to a 12 or 13 or 14 year old. And there are other state laws that allow for children to be married. I am going off to research this...
rmfr
EDIT: was right about memory, it ain't Delaware, but 18 have no age floor limit...
Found it.
https://www.tahirih.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/FINAL-Oct-2018-State-Statutory-Compilation.pdf
18 states have no minimum age, meaning you can get married to a new born baby. YUCK!
rmfr
EDIT: Between 2000 and 2015, over 200,000 minors were legally married in the United States (Wikipedia).
In case you're still lurking, go back and reread the article for comprehension this time. There are children under 16 who have been married. Just denying everything you don't like doesn't make it less true.
@Senta Re: "No one in the United States is repressed..."
Pray tell, what exactly is the name of the delusional little world in which you exist? Just wanting to know so that I avoid accidently straying into it.
You are living in a fantasy world. Ever hear of Warren Jeffs?
Did it ever hit your brain that people outside of the USA can enjoy sex and have orgasms?
@ David
You're kidding, right? You know no one can have as enjoyable sex as us Americans. After all, we have the Christian deity watching our every move. The knowledge of that voyeurism is just so... so... thrilling and magnifies the sensation. People in an atheist country, like Canada, just don't get that same... same... effect. Thus, they cannot enjoy sex as much as us Americans...
>:P

But we compensate by having hockey.
