First, I want to tell you something before you read this topic.
After you read, if you think I'm crazy, please don't say anything mad and go out without any disappointing comments biggrin.gif .. It will be good for me more...
The problem you must think about......

Hey everyone!
Have you heard something like " A true love doesn't mean sex"?? dry.gif ... My friend - she let me know about this sentence.
A true love doesn't mean sex???
What do you think about it? Let me know about your opinion, unless you think I'm damn..

In my opinion, it may be right in some positions... For example, my idol is my dream... biggrin.gif:Dhihi

...i don't get your statement...or the question really...

you're asking, does true love mean having sex or does true love involve sex?

sex doesn't involve love, but love involves sex if you get me?...
that's how *in a long term relationship* you show that you're progressing, and that you love each other too.

i duno...i don't get what you're asking. when it becomes a little more clear, i'll come back and answer it again.

I don't think true love requires sex.

I mean, if it does, we'd need a new word for love: the notion to be there for someone despite all odds, despite the situation (sex or not) and despite changes.

I was going to give an example of an elderly couple. How does their relationship last without sex? Is it true love? Well, maybe - but it could also be because of society's expectations (that they remain together) or because at that age, they are unattractive in the romantic love-sense (just like a baby isn't romantically appealing).

I don't know, it's tough to determine true love. A lot of the time, there's no such thing. We're all humans who have desires and preferences. Would you love your partner if he wasn't the way he was, if he was different? Probably not. These days, and perhaps since a very long, long time ago, we love someone 'because of the way they are'. Not really because they just are... if you get what I mean?

In other words, you might totally be willing to love a guy (no sex involved) because he was cute, funny and gorgeous. But if he suddenly wasn't cute, funny and gorgeous any more - would you still love him? Would you have the 'true love' in you to continue to love him?

Are you asking, Is love all about Sex?

If that's your question then i can tell you NO. Love is not all about Sex.
Love is between two people who care for each other at all times. biggrin.gif

It depends on the individuals.

And that's really all there is to it.

agreed. true love does not mean sex. they obviously mean very different things in the dictionary tongue.gif
but yeh besides that, i'm sure love does not need to revolve around sex.

(One of the) only reasons this statement would come up is when someone says true love leads to sex (which may or may not be true, and even that's not important).

In any other context, it would still mean nothing.

I agree the opposite.



Sex leads to true love.

a part of being loved also means that your husband/boyfriend or the other way around finds you attractive and wants you in that way (sex) and not just being there for you when you need it. someone can argue this and say it's shallow blah blah based on pleasures blah blah but it's true. that's why everyone says that a relationship needs to be balanced on both the physical and emotional level. Otherwise if you say love is just having someone be there in hard times, you've got your family why need a man. I did a project once for school and was surprised to find out how many married woman were unhappy when sometime during the marriage their husband just didn't want to do it anymore or lost his drive are whatever. They weren't unhappy b/c their husband wasn't there for them emotionally but they feel less loved because it seems he is not attracted to them anymore. This then leads to divorce and surprisingly because the women didn't get sex not because the man didn't get sex like how most people would think since society makes men the more likely to want sex. So I guess it changes when you are married.

That's why true love involves sex. It just means that when you are in true love, you don't just do it solely for the pleasure but because you are glad to be with this other person, share an intimate time with this other person. tongue.gif

me too.
I didn't really understand what she said, especially this "my idol is my dream."
OP, are you talking about your "love" for a celebrity?....uhhhh.....if that's what you mean...no comment. -______-

Anyway, here's my opinion on the topic. Sex is part of a relationship, but a relationship (before marriage) can survive and stay strong without sex. Also, I know some couples who really didn't do it before marriage, but if YOU and your bf/gf want to do it, then why not? About old people, I'm sure some still do it, but I don't want to think about it. tongue.gif

I'm just saying there's no such thing as true love between humans in the world. wink.gif

It's sad, but I think it's true.

D: you don't have a penis?! then you're not my true love!

_ as much as i'd love to leave you with the thought,
i thought i'd say this.

true love, as a concept, is an implied differentiation from 'lust' and physical urges.
true love, as a concept, is more of a spiritual thing.
not necessarily romantic, not necessarily w/e. just some vague concept that happens to be the golden fleece of romanticists.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. You don't think your idol is having sex? They probably are. If you're trying to say your true love is your idol, I hope not. You don't even know your idol, either that or you're in love with your fantasy.
