Do you have to inject testosterone? Is that a medical condition?tenaka2

You can control your testosterone by what you eat and how you exercise. And by being fat or skinny.

[QUOTE="Pffrbt"]

[QUOTE="tenaka2"]The part of the brain that controls your sex drive doesn't care about your desire to have children.

tenaka2

Yes it does. And technically it's my lack of desire to have children.

Think of it as the parts of your brain that control your automatic functions, you cannot control your sec drive in the same way that cannot control your heartbeat, pain response etc.

This guy is one of few people who get it.

Humans are animals, just like any other. Our biological and evolutionary needs are to kill and reproduce so that our species will reign supreme. The entire reason that we like sex in the first place is because it is vital to our growth as a species. Even though we may not want kids, we are driven by sex on a subconscious level that we're not entirely aware of.

Thats not the point he was making.

Then what was his point? That people have urges? That has nothing to do with importance.

I'm not denying that, but this has very little to do with the first post in this thread. It's simply off-topic.

It might not be entirely off-topic but it's not a direct link either.

if you are going to those sort of lenghts to reduce your sex drive then I suggest you have issues. If you feel that strongly about the issue then I'd think about getting yourself neutered.

There is a fine line between thinking that something is important because you truly believe so, and thinking that something is important because of a certain urge you feel. It's just not the same for everyone. Some people put sex as their top priority and brag about it, others simply don't.

Wow that is a strong way of stating the act of losing one's virginity. In fact I don't think I've ever heard of it being described in those terms until just now. That being said, have you ever had sex TC? It's pretty awesome stuff.

True, but there are parts of your brain that you do not control, your biological needs will drive you whether you want them to or not.

That's true enough. Some people have that kind of urge more than others, though, and others are attracted to their own gender.

Some people just love trying to convince themselves that they're better than others just because they had sex. It raises their self-esteem when they try to bring down others. It's pathetic but that's how it is.

bloodling
This sums it up pretty well. The people who love to brag in order to elevate their self-esteem will do so about pretty much anything, even if it's meaningless in the long run.

SUperbad is better than anything you will ever do with your life. Go make a better movie than superbad, then your life will be validated. Until then, continue to sulk like the fat virgin that you are. Sex feels good, u mad that you can't get some?

His statement was just as obvious as mine, yet you only have a problem with mine? It was indeed a very obvious statement, and it was really not necessary of me to type that, but I just wanted to complete his thought. Why would you insult people just because they say something obvious? That's really uncalled for.

his comment, albeit obvious, was relevant to progressing the discussion/debate. yours was unneeded and made you sound like an 12 year old schoolgirl talking to their teacher about human sexuality. i insult because I care.

If you actually read any of my previous posts, you would know that I was discussing the fact that some people give more or less importance to sex, and my statement, even though obvious, was in fact supporting my previous argument. Some people actually said that sex is the most important thing in everyone's life, so if I were you, I would be more shocked about statements that are obviously wrong rather than statements that are obviously right. And I don't care if you think my comment was unneeded.

It's because reproduction is the backbone of existence itself and sex is ingrained in our DNA as having succeeded in the ultimate goal of our species... Reproduction.

Nowadays it's mostly viewed as a measure of how socially competent you are. If you're able to sweet talk your way or pick up on subtle clues that lead to you getting your d!ck wet, then the idea is that you can effectively use those skills in other social settings. There's also the whole sex is fun and feels good thing going on.

tbh I couldn't care less about losing my virginity atm. Got other sh!t to worry about.

It doesn't make anyone less of a person, and honestly the first time isn't that great unless you're with someone special. It takes experience to get good. Though I don't think it's right to stay a virgin your whole life, you are missing out on one of God's great gifts if you do that.

As for the media, those movies are targeted towards kids, kids like to rebel against what their parents teach. I think if parents were more honest about sex and didn't hold it as a taboo subject, more kids wouldn't feel the need to rebel and do it.

No it's not. Organs, blood, flesh, those are not beauty. Beautiful things look nice, like flowers. The inside is personality, which of course flowers do not have.

Well having sex is important to us because it means a whole lot. For one, it means that someone find you desirable enough to let you bone them; which is a huge boost to the ego. It also means you are capable enough to pass on your genes. AND finally, it is a healthy way to lift your mood. I wouldn't go as far as saying it is a validation of someone's existence, but you are definitely missing out on an important aspect of being a human being if you don't have sex. Am I saying you should just go out an sleep with the first person you find? Yes.

Pffrbt
Thats because ito some having sex with a lot of females is a sign of an alpha dog. Someone might be insecure because they feel inadequate that they aren't having sex and becoming alphas. This in turn leads to anger, which leads to aggression.
