Originally posted by a1hsauceThat depends on the individual. Some can live life fine without romantic love.. I don't wanna say without love in general cause everyone has people they love, just not everyone has people they are in love with. It depends on your emotional needs on whether you need love to feel happy, so it varies from person to person.
okay but on the flip side to that, u if u dont have love, ur life could quite possibly end up miserable and unhealthy if not worse than it would without sex there are many people who go through life without sex and are just fine. old people (sorry for this example) go years without sex and are fine, but they always bring up the loves of their lives not the hot steamy sex in the back of a cadillac
Sex is less important to old people then it is to younger people because (I would imagine) they don't have as big of a sex drive. If I had to guess why they may not have as much sex I'd go with that reason. Of course they remember love instead of sex because love is something more meaningful then sex, that doesn't make it more important in everyday life.
As far as I know most prostitutes aren't doing what they are doing for love they do it for easy money, usually to support some sort of unhealthy habbit (drugs, etc).
But yea we do need love to feel emotionally healthy, I never said it isn't important at all. I just feel we need sex more then we need love. If we are going to list our needs, physical needs and safety will always come first, then emotional needs. Sex is a basic physical desire. It is supposed to be our method of reproduction actually, not an expression of love. But as humans with emotions we have tied love in there with it. It was always sex first love second, and always will be.

The Aids virus can go through condoms because the virus is smaller than the molecules of the condom, So I would think twice...Most people don't even know they have a STD and pass it along. 📖
I suspect you're outright lying because of a religiously-derived abstinence-only agenda, and you believe misinformation, as the means, would serve the end. I can't imagine any other cause for this post...
__HIV is the correct term- NOT the "AIDS virus."
__The only condoms through which HIV can pass are the "natural" kind made with lamb-intestine. Other, much larger, pathogens can also pass through this naturally porous material.
__"Molecules" have f~ck all to do with it.
__The latex condoms do NOT have pores through which viral or bacterial pathogens can pass, although genital herpes and human papilloma virus can still be spread by contact with the skin adjacent to the area covered by the condom. For safer sex, use latex condoms for intercourse and male-recipient oral sex. Use saran-wrap or dental dams for femake-recipient oral sex. Although not tested for this purpose, the female condom MIGHT provide additional protection against herpes and H. papilloma virus SIMPLY because it covers a larger area (the vagina and much of the associated structures).
__Read a lot of Carnage comic books; he rocks.

It's not some religious thing that I say this, but the info I got from a pregnancy center.

HPV can be transmitted through condoms. In fact, condom use only decreases the risk of HPV transmission by 1/5.
Also, saran wrap should not be used for oral sex because it is porous and does not provide any protection whatsoever.
id definately have to go with love, ofcourse sex is very important but to me its important as long as it means something, but when i say love, i mean true love is very important, the kinda love that u would give ur life for just so that the person u r in love with doesnt even feel a hairpluck of pain, actually when u r truly in love, at its highest level, u forget about sex, but if it ever happens its likely that ull never foregt it.
__Thanks, Adam- I checked that out today on the CDC. I had never heard Human Papilloma virus (HPV) could be transmitted THROUGH a condom as opposed to contact with surrounding skin. Based on my reading of CDC material, it still seems VERY doubtful:
“Genital ulcer diseases include genital herpes, syphilis, and chancroid. These diseases are transmitted primarily through “skin-to-skin” contact from sores/ulcers or infected skin that looks normal. HPV infections are transmitted through contact with infected genital skin or mucosal surfaces/fluids. Genital ulcer diseases and HPV infection can occur in male or female genital areas that are, or are not, covered (protected by the condom).
Laboratory studies have demonstrated that latex condoms provide an essentially impermeable barrier to particles the size of STD pathogens.
Theoretical basis for protection. Protection against genital ulcer diseases and HPV depends on the site of the sore/ulcer or infection. Latex condoms can only protect against transmission when the ulcers or infections are in genital areas that are covered or protected by the condom. Thus, consistent and correct use of latex condoms would be expected to protect against transmission of genital ulcer diseases and HPV in some, but not all, instances.”
It’s pretty hard to tell from this info whether transmission to a protected site (covered by condom) is after the fact transference from the primary transmission site (uncovered by condom). Two contradictory passages here! Please refer me to the source of your information. I feel this is relevant to discussion of HIV transmission, which the CDC states does NOT occur THROUGH a condom. It seems logical that HPV would not be transmitted THROUGH the condom, either, but via unprotected surfaces. Then, the infection is transferred to the previously protected site after the condom is removed.
About the saran wrap, I did think it afforded SOME protection, but I knew it wasn't so hot. So, kiddos, if you can't find a dental dam, and you want to give female-recipient oral sex, cut up the side of a non-lube condom (carefully), open it flat (as much as you can) and pray to your Gods that you haven't nicked the licking surface.
__Debbie Jo- if your info is accurate, and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can be transmitted through condoms, why NOT post a link showing us exactly where the National Centor for Disease Control has confirmed that info on their web site? Because the CDC, even under the direction of a conservative Republican administration, states that:
"HIV, the virus that causes AIDS
Latex condoms, when used consistently and correctly, are highly effective in preventing the sexual transmission of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
AIDS is, by far, the most deadly sexually transmitted disease, and considerably more scientific evidence exists regarding condom effectiveness for prevention of HIV infection than for other STDs. The body of research on the effectiveness of latex condoms in preventing sexual transmission of HIV is both comprehensive and conclusive. In fact, the ability of latex condoms to prevent transmission of HIV has been scientifically established in “real-life” studies of sexually active couples as well as in laboratory studies."
__My point- and the most important thing- is that you still use safer sex tactics, even with people like DebbieJo trying to disparage the value of condoms.
