When you get down to it, I like sex. I don't feel that having sex or not reflects on my relationship to a higher power, reflects on the amount of respect people should or should not give me, or to any cultural/social norms about how a woman or man should act. I have sex with my partner when I feel comfortable with them, and it is an important part of our relationship, a part of our intimacy and bonding. I don't think everyone has to feel the way I do, but that's just how I feel.
A man who I had an emotional connection to who wanted to deny a sense of physical intimacy would not be someone I would get involved with. It's like men who don't kiss- very offputting. I would think that they were hiding some part of themselves from me or involved elsewhere.

I like you Lovelyivy!! You keeps it real. Because you don't believe in God (I'm right, am I?) I can understand why you have that stance.
To the Christians, like sister soror Abaici said, you can be intimate without having sex. And I know a lot of people who believe that sex confuses everything. So not having it, makes it less complicated.
Summerchild, do you mind if we open this up to the fellas? I want to know how the men feel about the subject matter.
