I need to vent this out there. Sex does not mean love. Sex isn't everything. It is nice and should be seen as a bonus. Making a lasting connection with one person and CHOOSING to love someone. Yes, love is a choice. Not just a choice to be with that person, but a choice to make yourself venerable. Opening yourself to someone and letting them in is all you need.

If all you want is sex or if that is a quality you look for then you are not ready for a relationship.

I've never been able to understand why males and females don't figure this out by the time they're 20. And why would anyone ever think a one-night stand is "love?" It's absurd.

But the dilemma here is that most Men have to FAKE like they want a relationship to get SEX.

By definition, if all someone wants is sex, then they do not want a relationship.

There are stages to a relationship. To have love, you have to first have a relationship with someone, and to have a relationship with someone, you have to have sex. Try to find love without being sexually attracted to someone.

Unless we all find love at age 70 when are sex drive is quite diminished, sex is a big part of a healthy relationship and finding love.

It depends. Different people have different levels of sex drive, readiness for sex and valuing of sex in a relationship and vice versa. It can be as individual as our fingerprints.

You will have men fake they want a relationship to have sex just like you'll have women fake they will have sex just to get inside a guy's wallet. You will also have men and women who truly love each other and find sex not only as something fun and pleasurable but a loving and bonding experience.

Sex is an important foundation for a vast majority of enjoyable relationships. No way around it. Why is it always the couples who let themselves go, have weird personalities, and don't enjoy their SO's presence who say otherwise?

I agree if someone only wants sex, then they're not ready for a relationship. But the same holds true for someone who doesn't want sex on a regular basis.

I disagree. Love is an addiction. Sex is a choice. And you can have one without the other, but it's best when you have both!

That is a lie. Most men want a relationship. But society has gotten it into peoples heads what a man should be like. Societies view on what a man should be is wrong.
