Some lads and obsession with sex

    What’s the story here? Talking to a mate of mine last night and he and his girlfriend had to break up a few months back. Since then he said the only thing keeping him sane is porn. Is this actually a thing? Is sex really that fundamental for some people. I feel we are thought to see sex as this amazingly epic thing and I just don’t get it, this lad gets with all sorts just to have sex. I don’t know how he does it. Some lads are more randy than others. Makes me feel weird sometimes that I don’t have the same sort of need to have sex. Would kinda like to have it because would act as a more of a driving force I’d imagine.

    Sex is pretty good to be fair.

    Yeah but how good, like a rollercoaster good, a good cup of coffee?

    I get that it’s good but in isolation, I’d never think I’d love to be having sex now. It’s not at the forefront of my thoughts or something I’m always honking about.

    I had sex once, it was awful.

    People have different Libidos. I wouldn't worry about it. Sex is great fun all the same

    I generally think that the lads who are more desperate for sex, are the ones with the lower self esteems.

    They are deeply unhappy by themselves, so they can only feel happy when they're in another person.

    One lad talked to me about it - he said hat he felt so bad about himself , that he only felt good if he was having sex or drugs.

    It is all about an attitude to sex. Many people who have fulfilling lives, are not desperate for sex. They enjoy it when they have it, but they are not desperately unhappy without it.

    For who? I know alot of women who have terrible sex stories:

    Men pushing them into doing things they didnt want to do
    Men being selfish
    Men hitting them during sex.

    I have heard women say that they have had really awful, scary sex.

    I’m a woman and I have amazing sex.

    You're probably the most transparent WUM on this site, give a break would you and spend your time doing something worthwhile.

    It’s sad tbh. I don’t know if it’s a self-esteem thing. I’ve a friend and his whole life just revolves around endless Tinder dates and talking about girls and getting with girls and just I don’t get it. He’s a smart guy, handsome, he’s an extrovert though and think he just genuinely enjoys the buzz of getting to know people and dating and sex is how he gets to know random birds.

    Obviously not what OP is referring to when mentioning his friend but I would say sex is a very important life of men and women equally. The difference might be on the sex drives of each individual rather than their gender.

    I'd be quite unhappy if I didn't have it and I'm sure there are plenty of women who would feel the same. Doesn't make you desperate though.

    And in terms of good Vs bad sex, you could have the same experience with anything in life but it doesn't make the subject bad per se. I love chocolate and I've tried great tasty ones and disgusting ones...but ultimately I still love it.

    Eastern and northern (everything north of France) europeans hate sex. They should live in some mediterranean or latin american country for a while if they think people here have obsession with sex.

    That’s another thing, can easily go 2 months without fapping and other times could do it all day, but the urge isn’t down to blue balls or something which I’m convinced is a myth

    Yeah but is the itnamacy, the bond, the feeling someone knows you’re attractive or the act itself?

    So what! That is your story.

    Does that discount the stories of the other women that I was talking about? No it doesn't.

    You have amazing sex.
    Many women I have talked to have experienced sexual violence.

    They can both exist

    Emmm, aren't you doing the exact same thing as me? Lol. So you are insulting yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 427 ✭✭izzyflusky

    Probably a mix of everything mentioned and at different levels depending on the situation or mood. Sometimes the intimacy/bond is a huge part, while others it's the animal urge... I don't see it as something static or black and white but definitely a very important part of my life at least.

    I'd be the same - I could go without it for ages.

    Then - if I meet some one that I really like - I want it alot with them.

    So it is more about the person for me.

    think 'Blue Balls happens when ----let's say you don't finish the game.:rolleyes::eek:

    I'm flattered that you remember me. I don't remember you at all. Are you following me on different threads?

    You have a little too much time on your hands

    The act for you is probably so intertwined with the former it’s hard to separate them, for me though, sex for most of my life was just an idea, I think my mind got used to the idea that sex was something other people did, not me. Things changed, actually enjoy it when I’m turned on but even though my girlfriend is super attractive, I’m not always the one that wants to go

    Haven't we had this thread already? All these anecdotes of others?

    Good sex with the right person is amazing.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 181 ✭✭Sarahdunners


    I love amazing sex, like everyone else.

    I hate sex where I am pushed into doing things that I don't want to do.

    There are many different layers of sex.

    There is respectful sex.

    There is abusive sex.

    No Kaiser, it is a different thread. There is usually a thread about sex on here every week.
