Re: An EDF Introspective: S.R.E.A.M.
Hey gonores. Cool, I like the direction you're going with this. I'm going to take it one step at a time though.
[ QUOTE ] 1. Many people have sex for bad reasons and for reasons they don't understand. [/ QUOTE ] Um, what's a bad reason for having sex?

[ QUOTE ]
Money, guilt, boredom [/ QUOTE ] As long as its not coerced in any way I see nothing wrong with having sex for money. Yes, i know the law disagrees with me. Alleviating boredom would seem to be a good reason to have sex to me. And frankly, I don't even understand saving sex because of guilt. Like you feel bad about something you did so you have sex to feel better? Like that? [ QUOTE ] You're [censored] a sheep. [/ QUOTE ] That's a bad /way/ to have sex, not a bad reason, more akin to sexual abuse or sexual violence. Kinda like rape, as the sheep is not a person it cannot consent to having sex with you, so the sex is non-consensual. The act of sex is bad, not the reason.

[ QUOTE ]
Is there a logical argument to suggest that fueling the sex drive can ultimately lead to fulfillment or happiness? [/ QUOTE ] Sex is more of a temporary fulfillment of what the majority precieve as happiness. (We get the impression early on that the more sex we have the happier we will be.) However, I think that as we get older and began to have some stability in our lives that sex (for the sake of happiness) isn't much of an issue.

I agree with your sentiment. What are the chances you could expound upon what exactly it is that creates that temporary perception of fulfillment?

Um, what's a bad reason for having sex? [/ QUOTE ] This is really, really broad, but I guess the main "bad reason" I had in mind would be when you have sex for the sake of validation or acceptance even though your partner either cannot or will not validate you as a person. Another big one would be to distract you from some negative feeling or situation.

Lots of people might find these perfectly acceptable under some circumstances.

Why does our society think this line of rationale is acceptable? It is my contention that having sex for these "bad reasons" is detrimental to one's overall happiness and well-being. Seeking validation from someone who knows very little about you can wreak havoc on one's overall psyche.
