Masturbation and porn ruins families, and also makes people not able to have a normal relationship with the opposite sex.

And this is a good thing...why?
You really want a baby? Adopt one. There are PLENTY of children out there who need homes. You don't need to go producing your own spawn. There are far too many kids who don't get adopted as it is.
And I find it quite pigheaded of you to only blame the woman for it. It takes two to make a baby, idiot. If you're even going to be bringing it up you should also tell the males to keep it in their damn pants.

I'm sorry about that, and i know now that i taken it a little too far with that. I claim responsibility and i apologize.IF YOU DON'T WANT A KID, PUT THE ONE IN YOUR BELLY UP FOR ADOPTION, AND KEEP YOUR LEGS CLOSED, YOU STUPID B***H!!
If the relationship can not last without sex, then it is not love ... only lust and passion.Set wrote:Babies, babies, babies. It's always about babies.
There's no mention of how it makes people's bonds stronger. And it does. Granted, you can do that with something like snuggling, but a relationship isn't going to last if the people in it are bored. Some people will be if there's no sex.
also noticed during this paticular quote that money, Sex problems(cheating) and lack of comminment are causes for divorces, so just have a good sex life dosnt prove true loveNFI Releases Report on National Marriage Survey"

"National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) has released With This Ring...A National Survey on Marriage in America, a report on one of the largest and most comprehensive surveys ever conducted on Americans' attitudes towards the institution of marriage.
Norval D. Glenn, the Ashbel Smith Professor and Stiles Professor in American Studies at the University of Texas at Austin, headed the research project and wrote the report. The Office of Survey Research at the University interviewed, via telephone, a representative sample of 1,503 Americans over the age of 18.
...
According to the findings of the survey, it appears that for both men and women there may be a "peak marriage age" in the mid-twenties. People who get married between the ages of 23-27 are much less likely to get divorced than those who marry as teens; they are also much more likely to be in high-quality marriages than people who marry in their late twenties or later.
...
69% of respondents said their marriages were very happy.
88% said they were completely or very satisfied with their marriages.
...
So, why do people get divorced? The conventional wisdom on divorce is that it only happens after both parties have tried their hardest for a long period of time to save their marriage. But the findings of this survey suggest that this may not be true, in many cases. When asked the questions, "do you wish you had worked harder to save the marriage?" and "do you wish your ex-spouse had worked harder to save the marriage?" only a third of respondents answered "no." Also, 62% of ex-wives and ex-husbands answered "yes" to the question, " do you wish your ex-spouse had worked harder to save the marriage?" These findings (along with "lack of commitment" being the number one reason given for divorce) run counter to the conventional wisdom that most divorces only happen after both spouses have done their best to save the marriage.
...
There is additional hope in these finding, because the most common reasons given for divorce are preventable. The top reasons given by ex-husbands and ex-wives were: (1) "lack of commitment," (2) "too much conflict and arguing," and (3) "infidelity" -- reasons that can be addressed by counseling and interventions included in various healthy marriage initiatives.
...
In terms of both divorce and marital happiness, marriages that were preceded by cohabitation are less successful than those that were not.
Which leads back to my Football example. By that logic, ban that sport, no? I mean, the lives lost due to the overly passionate fans can't be worth the fun of the game, right?Vuldari wrote: The excuse "It CAN be good" just isn't good enough if it is causing more agony and suffering than positive benefit.

Funny you should bring up marriage. I honestly think it does nothing but cause problems, but that's an entirely different topic.

I never said that I hated gays, I have two friends that are gay! White Paw can vouge for that, we're friends!
I just stated what my religion views homosexuality, not my own. I don't hate any one over superficial a stupid reasons, like race, religion, and sexual orientation.
I have been to and participated in Football games (both AM Football and Soccer), and no one I know personally has died from it, and those that broke bones laughed about it later. The number of people positively affected by the sport significantly outweighs those that are hurt where I live. Banning is not at all called for here... however, if some other aria is abusing it more than usual, regional bans can make sense.Aki wrote:Which leads back to my Football example.

Frankly, I think when it comes to "recreational sex", people should be educated on the potential dangers - physical and emotional - and the potential benefits, and left to their own devices.
Should they experience agony, suffering, etc. after that, well. Sorry. As cold-hearted as it sounds, you have to own up to your choices.
Actually, I'd have to agree with that to some degree. An semi-active marital sex life makes a marrage more emotionally healthy. However, too much sex could feel too ruteine, and lose it's emotional purpose. I don't imagine that is too common though. So... not to little, not too much. The Bible never said marital sex is wrong in any way shape or form. Just pre-marital, and adultry are the big Biblical sex no-no's.Set wrote:Babies, babies, babies. It's always about babies.

You don't see mass riots about Football games here in the us like is common overseas. ...not even 1/100 as often, at least.
Same with "recreational sex" or driving. Cars are great used properly. Improperly they're rolling death machines capable of snuffing out a number of lives in a short period with the most minimal of mistakes, causing more agony and suffering via the emotional pain of loss and anger.It all depends on how it is being used.
