Default Peace versus sex.

This is bound to come out backwards but I was reading Steve's blog today about polyamory and was a little shocked at his outrageousness but thats only in my eyes and I do think,fair play , that if thats what he wants to explore ....Anyway. My point is ...is sex not all excitement/funk anyway.You have this massive rush and then whooosh..its gone and your left with the aftermath..emotional connections etc..with somebody you may not want to get close to etc. I'm not really talking about relationships here, just casual sex...so if your kind of happy by yourself , are you better off living a simplier , perhaps boring / peaceful(not that peace is boring) way of life or should you get out there and experience some intimacy?

Why not do both? What's the point of cutting oneself, short?
Our society has condemed sex, to the point, that we, don't even know how to experience it, anymore.

I also agree you can do both.

A relationship with the right person can be very peaceful, reassuring, and secure. I suppose it all depends if you're ready for that level of relationship and in how you feel with your current partner.
