I also think that it's quite a stretch to say that it's in our nature to abstain. The only time since puberty that I was totally disengaged from sex was when I was nursing - and I do think there is something to that. It's like nature's way of birth control. Other than that, it's our minds that like to put limits on our bodies. Add me to the club of single parents who are not getting some, and are very jealous of-I mean happy for-those who are! LOL!

I have to say I don't understand how anyone can draw the conclusion that it's in our nature to abstain. We're animals, and whether they pair bond or not, NO OTHER animal makes a conscious decision to abstain from the procreative act. I love sex with my boyfriend! Woot!

Cathouse Teri makes an excellent point that somehow casts doubt on LMU's entire premise. "Sex isn't the prize in marriage." Hell, sometimes it's not even the door-prize. ;-) As a Single Dad who's dating, marriage is the-very-last thing on my mind, but -to be totally honest- sex is always on my mind. No big surprise there, I know...I'm a guy. That isn't to say it's my dating quest, but it's there. Dadshouse wrote: "I think the LMU author is too focused on the physical act of sex, and on his own perspective for what is morally right." Agree. I think he needs to get laid.

I think David has a point in his second paragraph. Once you've been married, it's all "post-marital" sex from here on out. Even if you saved yourself for marriage the first time around, you can't unbreak the egg. SDMktg´s last blog post..Gift Ideas for Tailgaters

I have been thinking about this a bit of late… in the end, it is a decision that each needs to make for themselves. Even in the Victorian era, sex was everywhere. If you think about it… sex under lies so much of life as we know it. I am not sure that it is natural to “wait” until marriage… it is a choice that each makes. It is interesting that some like to overlook sex as the predominant character in culture and life that it is… as if it is something that is to be contained and controlled as it once was (wasn’t).

“we are all one spirit – one verse, one song, universe – connected by love”

Very nice. Yeah, I think you’ve either transferred or matriculated into a graduate program in spiritual psychology, maybe with a minor in tantra? <–not a flirt, just sayin’

I grew up going to the Oregon Shakespearean Festival every summer and spent a year in Ashland as a college freshman a very long time ago. Fond memories, those. Ashland is a pretty, fun little town well worth a visit. I especially love running the trails in Lithia Park in autumn after the leaves have changed color and are beginning to fall.
