<p>^Another point I forgot. Thanks.</p>

<p>I disagree. We all think of sex as something different. Sex is just an act, but it can mean to you whatever you want it to mean. Kissing is an act, too, but some people think of it differently than others. It doesn’t mean the same things for us, and that’s fine. I (personally) believe there are more intimate things to do as a couple (not always overtly sexual), but we just differ there. I don’t think of sex as the paramount of love, and I personally don’t see why it would be considered so.</p>
<p>^What other way can 2 become 1 and create life? CREATE LIFE!? It’s the most powerful gift we were given as humans.</p>
<p>As for the “2 become 1”, it’s like a puzzle. In a puzzle, all the pieces (in this case only 2 pieces) fit and create 1. There’s no other way a couple can do that.</p>
<p>Like I said, I just disagree with you. I don’t think it’s “the most powerful gift we’re given as humans” because I don’t think it’s a gift, and I don’t think we were given it. Reproduction is awesome, don’t get me wrong, but it’s also perfectly normal and very common. I’m not much for “two become one,” as in reality it’s still two separate people. It’s exactly like holding hands, really - two hands fit together really well (and depending on the couple, sometimes two sex organs don’t really fit together well - alas).</p>
<p>^^ The problem is that you are now arguing in emotional terms which, if applicannot has a different worldview, will not carry much weight with her. I entirely agree with you, but you have to find the common ground between you and applicannot before you can make much headway there.</p>
<p>There IS a middle ground between aplicannot and SLightManifesto:</p>
<p>Applicannot is right, that sex is normal, natural, and exists in every form of life, even bacteria. It isn’t necessarily this whole big deal that people make it up to be. However, in evolutionary sense, as living beings, our sole purpose in life is to have sex and reproduce. And because we are humans and have specially developed brains, we are aware that once we have sex, we (technically speaking) have no reason to live. So SLightManifesto is correct in saying that it is more important than other body functions because it results in procreation, our only reason to exist. However, the “2 become 1” argument has no weight to it.</p>
<p>Except if you’re religious.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>ZOMG!!! spice girrrrrrrls!!! hahahaahha</p>
<p>why does everyone have to overcomplicate things? You obviously shouldn’t be having sex if unless if you’re married–and if not it’s totally up to you (but perhaps w/ some consequences).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>10char.</p>
<p>^^ Excellent summary! :D</p>
<p>To all: With APs and family stuff coming up, I probably won’t be back on here for the next week or so.</p>
<p>Even if sex is the “paramount of love,” why must two people be married to have it? What if a very committed couple simply doesn’t believe in the institution of marriage…?</p>
<p>I don’t really care if other people do it (unless they’re hyper-religious and hypocritical), but it’s just not for me. I’m religious to some extent but I also don’t want to make any mistakes.</p>
<p>Plus the idea of my husband being my first time just sounds so special and romantic to me. <3</p>
