I cannot fight the urge to say that I am sickened by these results. Maybe Lady Gaga and Ke$ha are reflections of society after all.
Gags and Rectangle Body are new. People have been sex-crazed loonies for some time now. Look at the STD stats and keep in mind it's probably higher for some groups..and that many people just got lucky. It's just the mentality -people want what they want whenever they want it, and how often they like, and 'saying no' or 'resisting' or 'controlling one's behaviour' is for Jesus-loving prudes who aren't 'comfortable with their sexuality'.
Of course, as with my other beliefs about social issues, I am conservative here and believe that sex before marriage, even in a committed relationship, is wrong.
absolute twaddle!
God gave man a penis and woman a vagina - to be used!
do animals bother with this nonsense? - of course not , and humans are animals after all.
Sex is just a bodily function, the same as eating, washing or urinating.

I think perhaps you go to far. Marriage and commitment within marriage are the norm in human societies, probably for good biological reasons -- which, I will concede, probably do not apply as much now as in the past.
Sex can be much more than just a bodily function; indeed, the same applies to dining and even the other things you mention. If you approach it as a form of love rather than a form of getting one's rocks off, one can really have a tremendously happy and fulfilling life.
I'm glad you stipulate what you deem as "committed" in terms of a relationship. The next question might be; how long does it take for two people to meet that criteria? I generally feel I am committed after about a month or so of solid, exclusive dating. In fact, I think I have generally expressed that sentiment verbally to my partner, if nothing else, to get a like-minded response.
By my count I've been in five committed relationships in my life. I have had nine sex partners, total. I have confided to my close friends that I enjoy sex, but I choose to be intimate only in a committed relationship. So going strictly by the math, I guess that is mostly true.
Just for the record, I knew the other four sex partners before the day of our consensual "union". I still remember their names, and in a couple of cases, where they are today.
I have a girlfriend who says that she does not need a committed relationship for sex. She has said that she needs to like her sex partner, respect him, and trust him. I respect her views on the matter, therefore in answer to your question, Should you be in a relationship before you have sex?, my answer is; not necessarily.
For me, personally, yes. I've had FWB situations before and it just doesn't do it for me. I'd imagine one-night stands being even more shallow. However, I couldn't care less what others do.
I believe there are people who view sex as completely a genuine act of "fun", and not necessarily one with emotional consequences attached. I don't believe this makes these people "filthy" or not deserving of respect. I lose respect for men/women who prey on the emotions of others to get their giddies.
