What has sex been to you?

Even though i enjoyed the sex when partaking in it, sex has never truly been a need in my book. At 15, i was pressured into it so i did it for his pleasure. At 23, i did it out of love/commitment but also honestly out of hope for reproduction. Sounds horrible but its true. Maybe when i marry, it’ll be out of a combination of self-pleasure and pleasing one another.

I’m probably the only one who did it out of rebellion. I hated having to hear my mom have sex as a kid. So when i started having sex, i’d do it in public places hoping she’d catch me. Sadly she never did but lots of family, friends and classmates did. They’d tell her and she’d shun them and call them liars. She stayed in denial until i turned 23. Thats when she thought i lost my virginity, but i wasn't even having sex during the month she assumed 🤣

  • Depends on the partner. Love and pleasure usually, but I’ve done it for pleasure when needed.

    • Yea i think most do it for self pleasure

    • Mhmm ❤️

  • I've never had sexual contact with a girl I wasn't 100% in love with. It's always been an expression of that for me

    • I fully agree. Me being 100% in love with their asses is why i was all about pleasing them

    • I'm pathological in needing us both to be "pleased". I couldn't do that with someone I wasn't fully committed to

  • A future event lol.

    • Lol well what do you think it’ll have meant to you based off the poll

    • Sex is what the Bible says it is. A gift from God wherein husband and wife become one flesh and enjoy the epitome of intimacy and fleshly pleasure, and a means of reproducing as it was one of the very first commands Yahweh gave to both animals and mankind.

  • The only point I would disagree with is an act of rebellion.

  • For me, it's about self-pleasure and to pleasure your partner needs too.

    • Sounds fair :)

  • All of the above. Also as a way to get more intimate with somebody. I also heard that it cuts the risk of prostate cancer so there is that as well.

    • Oh wow never heard that

    • it is true

  • B pretty much!

    • Same until i mary then its all about my needs 😂

  • It gave me a daughter. But I love doing sex..

    • I want a daughter 😭

    • Yes sex is great but when you get someone out of it, it makes it worth while.

  • As of right this moment it's something that has zero meaning or importance to me and isn't something I need or require.

    • Yea i just dont see it as a necessity

    • Yup.

  • I would say its been everything to me
    Pleasure for me n a way to please others n to give them comfort n to keep fit

  • Depending on my mood but mainly a stress reliever and fun.

    • Yea I don't know why i didn't make fun an option

    • I was thinking that, but it could still come under other but it's cool.

  • I will admit that the first time I had sex, I was basically pressured into it. I enjoyed the relationship nonetheless. These days, however, there's a sort of fear about it. Because I've been left right after doing it and it's something I try to avoid at almost all costs.

    • Ikr. A lot of these dudes, if they dont leavec they cheat because they got what they wanted. It makes me sick and part of why i dont see sex as a necessity

  • Im married.. And it has been a combination of all of the above. Literally every reason above has been used as a reason for us to have sex. Including boredom, and as an antidepressant. Its more effective than her pills. Granted she still takes em, i would never suggest someone replace a medication that the doctor provides with sex, but she's happier when we are having sex then when not.

    • Dang i didn't even realize people have sex out of boredom

    • Thats our most common reason..

  • To me sex is far more beyond then self satisfaction, in fact it is a two way system give and take as a social human being, results if that both get pleasure and Joy.
    Truly love is nothing to do with only sex, it's a compliment and part of package.
    Indeed no one can deny "sex" is
    unexchangeable pleasure for human being.
    It's my understanding.

    • Yea sex is a bonus to me

  • For me it has probably been all of the above I’ve had and wanted my children I enjoy sex but I’ve had it when I wasn’t in the mood out of a sense of obligation and I was definitely pressured into losing my virginity

    • Damn i can relate

  • The older I get, the more I've greatly preferred to give, than to receive !!

    • Well that shows growth :)

    • Hmmm... it's kinda strange in a way. I get really super turned on by making a woman excited. The more into she gets, the more I want to keep her on edge and I don't even think about anything else. I get soooo wrapped up in listening to her, watching her and LEARNING EXACTLY what's getting her off. I want to hear and see her lose herself and get to that place where she figuratively AND literally, can't take anymore and has to cum - has to !! For me, that's way better than my own orgasm, even if she does the same thing to me.

    • Ooooo

  • Let me ask do you enjoy sex?

    • I said above i enjoyed the sex but that its not long satisfaction feeling because i dont like having sex outside of marriage

    • My bad just read it... you need to meet the right one... and that is fine... wait it out

  • I've always seen it as an act of love. And also as a way for both partners to have fun and make each other feel good physically. It's a thrill ride as well as a bonding activity.

    • Very true

    • Thanks

  • A combination. It's pleasurable for my self, I very much enjoy giving pleasure to my partner, and do see it as an act of love

    • I like that :)

    • I think that's how it should be. From what my female friends tell me, most guys unfortunately are only interested in their own pleasure however, which is selfish, ridiculous, and not very loving.

  • For the most part it was an act of love and commitment. There was a few that were for my pleasure.

    • Nothing wrong with that

    • I always made sure the woman was satisfied though
