But I do believe we have to keep hope

Just wanted to say I've always loved the British use of the word 'shag.' It always makes me want to fire up my Roomba and vacuum, before I let the real connotation sink in.

To the guy who said I confused him so bad that he is considering going celebate, let me explain. Yes, I have had sex with someone before and I did not love him. We had a relationship without love for quite a while and the sex was always very good. So yes, I am good at sex even if I do not love the person...if we are sexually compatible. But since I did not love the man, the relationship was not satisfying on other levels, emotionally, intellectualy, no spiritual connection or attempt at understanding. But it is not something I do on a regular basis and now I won't have sex with someone if I don't have feelings for them or wish to have a caring, meaningful relationship. and I do prefer to call it making love.
Because it is true, sex does only satisfy the physical desire but it is much more enjoyable to be with someone you enjoy and love and in my experience making love is better than sex. Sex can be satisfying but a bad relationship can be depleting so it is not worth it to me.

In my experience and many people I have known, I have witnessed that love and sex are often based on fantasy and illusion. Becoming honest and true to ourselves is the first step to knowing real love. It can be a more positive experience when intimacy is shared between two people who value, appreciate and seek to understand and accept each other.
And it can't be forced or can it be one way...it must be recipricated to feel good. I hope someday to share a real love.

The word "shag" is a word that denotes just sex, not making love. Its often used in a derogatory fashion, akin to "bonk",
"bang", "screw", "f**k", etc in a sort of "wham-bam-thankyou-ma'am" kinda way.

how many times am I going to say amen to this woman's words....

SS. you are amazing..... bowing:
Ever considered puplic speaking and or a career in talkshow? you would be a sensation.....:

This works both ways --that is for both a man and a woman.

to get back to the orginal question

Difference between love and sex

"two hours of pillow talk and cuddling afterwards"

Lust involves the body while love involves the heart. Lust is Hershey's while love is Godiva, it's all good, but quality speaks for itself.

Chocolate forever and ever, amen...

When you are in love with someone, making love is the most wonderful experience two people can share with one another. You take off into another world and the only reality that exsists at the time is what is being shared by the two whom are in love. Because it is the giving of one's self to one another which is the most precious thing a person can do for someone for the one they love. And then there is the after glow you have when it is over, knowing you did your all to satisfy the one you love, and letting her know just how special she is and how much she means to you.
There was one that I used to do that for, but she is gone out of my life now. But I will always remember what we shared during the time we were together..
