Or the thought that they actually have sex. *yuck* |
Actually, my landlady is 60-ish, and she and her sweetie have an active, happy sex life. I think it's wonderful! I wish my folks had that. Sex into the golden years can be rewarding and wonderful and healthy.

Agreed. I had this discussion with my ex, who in the end, harped he was disappointed with me. IRL, I get the occasional zit and have stretchmarks because I don't put on stage makeup on my body.
Why do we forgive flaws in person, or why should we? We shouldn't unless we can be really sexually free with a person. And I don't think we can really be uninhibited and have fun until we like ourselves. I'd argue that an addiction to porn and preferring it over a real partner is a self-esteem issue.

In my experience, most girls (mine included) don't like to be exposed to any more semen than they really have to.

Biggest laugh of the day! OMG! Seriously, sperm is affected by diet and a number of other things, but if the guy's eating well and in good shape, it's fun stuff. I'll never sleep with someone who eats a lot of processed food ever again. Ew. Ew. Ew.

I also agree completely that spending time with a partner offers a MUCH larger reward than a computer screen ever could. Even if you have to put up with "Sex and the City" every once in a while.   |
I'm not huge into the concept of finding a life partner (might happen, might not for me). But it's that real human connection with the physical and emotional I think we crave. I'm lucky to have found a couple of those in a lifetime.
