Sex for Pleasure | Your Opinion

To stay on the topic of sex for pleasure, I'll ask that you approach the poll question with the following input:

John & Jane are consenting adults that engage in sexual relations with the use of birth control measures. They have agreed to engage in a monogamous sex life until one of them decides that the arrangement no longer suits (and have complied with the arrangement).

Question: Do you oppose this scenario?

Feel free to answer why you do or don't oppose. Thanks!

Note: This topic (per the offered scenario) has zero to do with abortion.

 

Do I oppose it? Why do I care?

What two consenting adults get up to in their own time is none of my concern.

 

I don't get the question.

 

who cares?

 

Since birth control is never 100% and eventually at some point it is forgotten during the height of the moment, John and Jane will find they will be a mom and dad.

Then...with this huge responsibility hanging over them...and no real committment between them.....they will split and decide they hate each other.

Little Janey or Little Johnny will see a mommy and daddy in constant conflict and custody battles and manipulation wars. Or...John will disappear and Janey will receive money from the government and will attempt to find a man she likes while little johnny starts with the flash mobs.

Yeah...I oppose it. But...its not me to decide.

 

"No, I don't oppose it".

Amazing.

You tell me... you did like the next post.

Gotta stop you there, because the given scenario was very specific. The two adults use birth control measures... I didn't offer any laziness when it came to that input. It's completely true that no method is 100% effective, but I must push the scenario as it was written (which doesn't include any "forgetting to use" stuff).

Great! There's no suggestion of legislation, here... so don't worry. I'm not asking you to decide for people.

 

Why else have sex?

Its not a chore like cutting the grass or doing the laundry.

 

What is the point of the post if it defies any sense of reality?

 

Well, for it's intended purpose: Procreation.

People have gotten so paranoid since "When news publications do you read?".

 

Because it doesn't defy. Monogamous sexual relationships can/do occur without pregnancies.

 

Sex is meant to be pleasurable and should be. I will never argue otherwise.

 

for a while Unless something is wrong with one of them.

 

for those that believe their god did not want people to have sex for pleasure, do you not believe god would not of made sex pleasurable if he did not want it to be pleasurable, obviously if it is by intelligent design, must be a reason for it... must of been how he wanted it..... right?

 

It's easy to argue that the pleasurable aspect is merely a by-product (for lack of a better term) of the intended purpose of sex... which is undeniably pro-creation.

conjecture, at best.

 

At its best sex is a bonding relationship.. shared affection, respect and trust that makes a home for offspring.

 

No argument from me. I misread the the OP.

I have no issue with "for pleasure only" sex, as long as the adults are responsible.

 

The story of Adam & Eve would tell us that God takes little issue with dangling forbidden temptations in our faces.

 

Entirely dependent on the mindset of the participants, no? I dig what you're saying, though. High five.

 

I am all for sex for pleasure. I am not for sex outside marriage as your scenario describes. Though I am all for minding my own business, anyone who asks for my approval is gonna be disappointed.

 

Great! I didn't structure a marriage scenario because there's really no difference... sex for pleasure is just that (in or out of a marriage).

 

Your wording gave me tired head.

I totally approve of a couple having sex, simply for the pleasure of having sex.

Interestingly enough, I don't have to consider birth control at all.

 

It's 2012 and people are still asking this question?

And let you me tell you something, birth control is always effective if you use it properly, believe me i've benefited from it quite a bit.

 

It's a really dumb idea, since the best result that can be expected is that each party will lose respect for the other. The vast majority of people would rather not know why.

 

Will? You mean may. It takes on average a couple trying to get pregnant almost a year to do so and that's with unprotected sex and doing everything possible to try and get pregnant. Getting pregnant isn't easy.

 

Reality proves your post untrue. Unplanned pregnancies are rampant in married couples and non-married couples a like. I am willing to bet...that for every planned pregnancy there are two unplanned ones.
