what if sex were out of the equation? well, it is for me–i’m one of those “sex within marriage only” people–and i can have a wonderful friendship with a man. in fact, i find that it is easier for me to approach a guy just to talk, than it is for me to talk to fellow females anymore. and i dont like sports. usually we end up talking about music or current events and even about controversial things.

i’m a red-blooded female, so of course i think about sex. but if i wont even date a guy, i’m not going to imagine romance with him. i can meet any guy at college and talk to him just to talk to him. in fact i have a “chatting buddy” with whom i talk every time i see him. we honestly enjoy each other’s company.

one of my guyfriends is very outgoing, and expresses concern where concern is due, whether or not he likes the girl. it’s impossible for him to like all the girls with whom he interacts regularly, since we all have different personalities.

so yes i think men and women can interact without even thinking about sex.

but marriage without sex? hmmm you try total abstinence until you’re in your 20s or 30s, get married to someone you’re crazy about, and try not to light the fireworks it’s like shaking a soda can, opening it, then expecting not to get soaked with carbonated sugar water.

In this whole thing there would be no fear of approach so guys wouldn’t have a problem talking to women,
But with that I don’t think guys would have a reason to , other than being friends

The comments on here are all interesting but world without sex would mean that there is no 2 gender either.

So for one, a world without sex would probalby imply that there wouldn’t be as much differentiation in body types… as well as fashion. There won’t be a man/woman section… there wouldn’t be a lot of things that governs the way our society works currently.

I know that there is some species of animal that mutates between male and female to have kids… but I don’t know.

I guess the closest thing I can imagine is a society of one gender… just pick one… man OR woman… and put all people of the various colors togethers.

That’s the closest thing I can think of when David asks if men and women would hang out together without sex.

So yes, I’d hang out with them… just like I hang out with someone of a different color. But the emotional and physical attachment would be different.

The meaning of hanging out with a woman would mean something different.

Being with a woman (in a sexual manner) makes me feel greater as a “man”… but if i was to hang out with a woman in a non-sexual manner, I guess it’d be the normal.. sharing of functions and experiences…. but it loses some of the more intricate meanings.

I’m just living the Law of Giving where it says: “Give and it shall be given unto thee. Giving equals receiving.”

The same thing that draws the sexes together trough sexuality drives them apart trough the inner workings of desire; mainly that there is a never ending uneasyness brought on by desire both fulfilled and unfulfilled that stifle many an attempt at connecting directly with persons and alleviating some of the loneliness so pervasive in modern society.

Perhaps, on the flipside, it would make it much more difficult for people to relate to the same sex. Validation from same-sex interactions might well become much more important to people’s images, and thus the need for validation could make same sex realationships lose exactly that easy. An ease that comes from not needing to own the other person.

Most of the negative feelings about sex that people have finally come from this need for validation. It is not about sex really. It is about “Can my (same-sex) friend get getter mates then I?”

why wast your time on someone who is “taken” and flirts with you. It’s a character flaw and just let her know it’s not accepted. Similar with men I have been around them flirting with me and having a steady. It’s a turnoff and in the long run they will most likely do it again.

Yes this is my last year, and i really like what i am studying but the last year seems routine.
