In a long term relationship I feel much more comfortable asking/taking/doing things that are a bit off the norm. It is much more fun to experiment with someone you are completely comfortable with and there is no fear of judgment.

I always assumed people enjoy the fear of judgment, thus the number of religious people in the world.

cpg, trust me the feeling is likewise. Nothing you have posted on here is anything but a recitation of societal standards, no original thoughts in the bunch, just here to toe the line I guess. *yawn*
Oh, how funny. Wet behind the ears, barely out of college, and you actually think you know anything about life. Tell, you what, why don't you actually live a few years without living off your daddy and then come back and lecture me?

Married, definitely, 100%

Probably because we're both depraved and finally "let loose" when we got married. After all, we're good ol' southerners and marriage is forever!

But even so, I think we have a unique perspective because we're in an open marriage. So it's funny to go wayward, taste the forbidden fruit, then come back to complain to each other and yearn for our "boring old married sex!"

We definitely have sex a lot less often now, 3x-4x a week vs the 3x a day it used to be (mostly due to medical issues). But considering on average it lasts about four hours, I think it makes up.

Alright, I'm gonna stop bragging... I'm just a big advocate for all the "perks" of marriage.

Stats prove that married couples have more sex and more satisfying sex.

In reality it depends on each couple. I've been in one marriage where sex was infrequent to non-existent and another where it was daily and always exciting. In my single years I was pretty active, but it wasn't a daily occurrence.

I'd take married sex any day with the right partner. They know what you like, and you know what they like -- no worries about STDs nor protection against them.

You have some strong opinions for someone with so little life experience. There is a famous quote to the effect that the accumulation of knowledge can actually unveil that you know less than you think as it expands your horizons....

If I think about it, I'm not sure who has more because I can think of times when I've been single and getting way less than many of my married friends and other times and other married friends that were having less than me.

As for better, well yeah, guess it depends on what you're looking for.

meh! I can't answer this question!! I'm going now!
Yes, quite a conundrum it is!

But not being married is by no means being single.
I purposely left it single and married to keep it simple. Single people in a relationship are still single. They're still theoretically in the "courting" stage. Truly single people should be having no sex (w/ others), unless it's just one-night stands.

Well, as a single person, I was always on the go and having fun. I did not have time for random hook ups with random guys and rarely had sex. When I did have sex I used the policy "Reduce, Reuse and Recycle".

...
I hope that wasn't your policy on condoms.
