Do you get sex when you need it, or hold out for that perfect party doll or dude to come along and rescue you?

Is it best to "save it" and make it more "special"?
What if one never finds that "Someone out there for everyone" or that "Mr. Right" or "Ms. Right"???
What if one's "Right One" lived in China during the turn of the century?
How can you find that perfect person, that Right One, out of all the people on this earth? No...not Eharmony....no, not Match.com with Dr.Phil.
What if one waits and waits, and wakes up one day and is 60 and goes, "Darn, I waited all this time. Wasted all those years."

When does biological urge surplant being desired by someone special?
Is the concept of "someone special" sort of meaningless, or does true romance actually exist? Barbie and Ken?

Why is it considered selfish to indulge one's sexual urges? I am just curious about what others think, because I am hoping romance actually does exist.

Interesting questions,certainly some that I have thought of myself.

Well I guess the main thing to consider is there are no guarantees in life,and that security can only be temporary.Yeah,there is true romance out there,I see it with other people,makes me feel happy for them.

Me,I just do what I do knowing that if love strikes it will strike,I don't go out of my way worrying about it,because most of the time when you meet someone that clicks with you you weren't expecting it anyway.

Looking back on a couple past girlfriends,I sure should have tried harder,I just let them slip away,burned a few bridges,wish I could get another chance but I'll just take it as a learning experience.

You never know when love will strike but you never know if it will last either.My friend found true romance,or at least he thought.Then after 17 years marriage she just told him "I`don't love you anymore" and now they are divorced.He never saw it coming,but if we knew what the future was we never would take the chances we do would we?I don't think he regrets those 17 years,he now also is faced with (what do I do being alone?).

Can't tell you if you'll meet a Mr.right,all I can say is make yourself available,yet don't fret over it either.The guy or girl that sits in a corner of a bar or whereever won't be noticed,yet you may just be grocery shopping with love as the last thing in your mind and bam! you'll meet somebody.

Sex?...lol well there are people who's convictions say no sex till marriage,if that's what they believe then good for them,I think I'm Christian,they would say that I'm not... sex may be my downfall,personally I think some people are too high strung about it,well whatever.It may not sound very moral on my part but I have needs,and I'm not waiting to fall oggly in love to have those needs met,cause like you said by the time that happens I might need viagra!.I have a friend,she calls it being friends "with benefits".We bond on a certain level but we both know that we wouldn't work out if it got more commited.Or,which is often...I take matters into my own hands...lol,and sometimes that's better anyways.

Well there you go,open thoughts from the LK.

It is best to save it and make it more special. Because when it happens..OMG does it happen! And it happens when you least expect it. And it is good. Real good.

Sex should be with someone special... but I am a woman and women think diff than men..4 me I want a guy that is not just using me as a place to get his wang wet....I think about what happens if I am having sex with someone that I know if I got pregnate I would be all alone or he would not be very supportive...Someone who truly does not care about me as a person... he only cared about having sex with me.... me personally I need for a guy to have feelings for me.... and would care if I was sick and in the hospital... those that are just about arbitrary sex could careless if you are sick...

Any of you who've read my posts know what I think...
To put it bluntly (and to quote one who definately agreed RIP)
"Give it to me baby...!!!!!!!"
(What's your name again? Heh)
Oh, & I'm female - since most people seem to think that's a guy thing.
It's just a sex thing...

It definately should be something to share with a girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse, not just anyone who walks up to you and says 'hey baby'.
For those of us who dont have any of the above, you'll know when the right person comes along.

I used to run around CRAZY! Whew! But now that I am older and hopefully wiser I do think that sex can cloud the judgement and leave you in a mess if you chose wrong. It's been 2 years now and it's not a problem. I hang w/my kid, date a bit and it's just easier that way for me. I have had many chances and made a couple of men pretty mad but it's not on "the list" of priorities anymore. It's not really a romance thing for me, just more practical. I also have a child to think of and I should set a good example for him, not just lay it out for anyone to pick up ya know?

I fall into the category get it when I need it I came out of a serious relationship about 2yrs ago and enjoy being single at the minute and basically getting it when I need it . Is it special when its just sex no strings attached no not special more like fun but in a relationship then sex is more special it can also be the decider of how successful the relationship will be.
