Hate people discussing sex

Yeah, absolutely. People ranking themselves by who they've slept with, and more than not lying about it to exaggerate their supposed sexual skills, is really annoying!

Yes. They call it "true love".

Sex is not a necessary condition for love, but when two people who are in love--the long-term commitment sort rather than just the "I'm hot for you" sort--they care about each other so much that they tend to forget about themselves, or to simply equate their own happiness with that of their partner. There's not very much room for ego where love is concerned, and that's true even in non-sexual relationships. Ego gets in the way of love, whether it's love for a friend, a partner, or a family member. It can become unhealthy--such as when people stop taking care of themselves and their own needs, or stay with a partner who is hurting them--but if you think about it, taking care of yourself is actually part of loving someone else, because if you don't take care of yourself, you can't care for them as well as you otherwise could; and if you let them hurt you, then you're teaching them that hurting people is okay, which won't benefit them in the long run.

I completely agree! I honestly think it's kinda pathetic when a group of guys tell each other their sex stories and try to one-up each other by saying how much sex they have or how many people they've had sex with or how young they were when they first had sex.

I guess I should mention that I'm asexual, so I don't really understand the overall interest in sex.

Maybe the subject about sex in general is annoying and depressing to anyone on the spectrum. Considering the fact that over 99% of people on the spectrum will never have sex in there entire life (Except maybe for masturbation, if that counts.). If you think about. I think that people on the spectrum treat or think that sex is some kind of reward for good social behavior which of course is not a strength for most people on the spectrum have. Another thing to consider is that since most people on the spectrum are asexual. Talking about sex in front of someone on the spectrum would be like talking about light and color in front of a blind person. They have no comprehension of it.

I also find it vulgar and disgusting, you can't even get away from it in books either. I usually skip those bits as I find it revolting, surely they would be embarrassed at putting that stuff in.

I posted a topic in here a while ago about "High Sex Drive". I can tell you in the past I used to be 100% agreeance with this post. But since I have a wife, married for 10 years and had two children. Sex is something I enjoy and love to talk about. I don't make it a center of a conversation and start a topic about sex with random people....

I think that's the only thing that's really NT about me, I love sex. However, I view it purely as biological and pleasurable. Reproduction/or breeding is the last thing I think about when it comes to sex.

I worked in blue collar industries for a few years, and the most popular reading material of those guys was porn. Ok, we all like to look at porn, but there have been periods when the working class took pride in their intellectual development. What the f*** happened?

I totally agree there is an absolutely ridiculous, mind-numbing obsession with sex and sexuality in our culture.

I particularly despise those damn ED commercials that lately are omnipresent on (American) tv. They blather on that (insert prescription name) will make you "ready for sex" on a moment's notice. Not that I don't think it's great there are meds to help people with their various biological dysfunctions, but do I have to hear about it every 10 minutes??

For some reason, like the OP, I cringe whenever the dialogue on tv, radio, or wherever takes that seemingly inevitable turn toward sex, mostly because it happens WAY TOO OFTEN.

Unfortunately, there is rarely a responsible discussion about things such as birth control and STI's; rather, the focus with sex is typically rude, crude, juvenile, and totally irresponsible, wastes time and resources, and accomplishes nothing. Are we all really just a bunch of f---ing animals??? I'd like to think not.

I have nothing against sex (I have it, I like it), but can't we use more of our short time on this fragile earth to talk about something besides our most basic functions, ones that require relatively no thinking at all, and should be mostly private anyway?

It won't happen in my lifetime, but a girl (on the spectrum, as it were) can dream.

Although I think of it quite frequently, I feel the same way. To me it's similar to talking about one's bowel movements. Very tasteless and primitive. I did have a friend who was a complete pervert and it annoyed the hell out of me. He never had a real girlfriend in his life and prided himself on all the dirty sluts he was with and all the positions they did it in. Couldn't even pass a semi attractive women on the street without looking back and commenting on how he wanted.to lick her #$%%&. It was super annoying and vulger.
