This.

Also, I will point out that just because I disapprove of homosexuality, it doesn't mean I hate gays, and it doesn't mean they're going to hell simply because they're gay. I will also add that abusing people because they're gay period solves nothing.

Gotten bored with them? Like, you go to clubs and parties and that sort of stuff when you're single, but when you're in a relationship you get bored with not having that to do all the time? Or do you mean that you get tired of when you want to do something, you have to run it by her first?

Loving someone doesn't mean there's hot, infatuous fawning over each other all the time. So just because the infatuation wears off after a time, it doesn't mean you don't love each other after that.

Yeah I think I'm still in the stage of figuring out that balance.

It's not often I say that, but I find myself hopelessly out of my league in this thread. What I know about romance could fill the Grand Canyon... and still have room left over for the entire population of China, a medium sized Brachiosaurus, and a tuba.

It's too cliche. I won't say I'm in love.

Well it was really about sexuality to begin with

I have a lot of trans friends and so it's a mildly important topic to me.

You could also replace romance with sexuality and it would still be accurate.

But still, that scene was still pretty... weird.

Allow me to add increasing acceptance of casual sex to my list of gripes. It probably goes hand-in-hand with my gripe about people having affairs left, right and center.


People don't seem to understand what sex does to a relationship. The media certainly doesn't help by making it seem totally cool and normal to have sex on the 3rd date.

I really don't see whats wrong with it. If 2 people wana fool around with no strings attached it don't hurt anyone else (if its safe sex that is).

Sure about that?

Bond was just playing along to not look intimidated. Silva was probably Bi though.

I got the impression that Silva would sleep with anything because the most important sexual partner was always himself anyway.

That's what I thought.

I'm not against it and I'm not for it. The happiness of people is always important.

It does if one of them is married, and teaching our kids that random, meaningless sex is fine totally screws up their perception of how to have a long-term relationship that isn't based on sex.

In other words, casual sex is shallow and is no where near as fantastic as being with someone you care deeply about. Take it from someone who speaks from personal experience and has been married for almost 8 years.

But that's just what we're talking about. Different strokes for different folks.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that society is fricken screwed up.

More than half the people who marry get divorced; casual sex is depicted (and perceived) as normal and cool; people are having affairs all over the place. It's like people think meaningful relationships are dumb and boring. Also, my additional rant on abuse of spouses and kids adds to my point.


I'll add that I'm not saying that gays are the bane of society or that they can't have meaningful, lasting relationships. To reiterate, I'm saying that society is fricken screwed up. And it's sad.

Because for some people, casual sex is normal and cool.

Now, I agree that the media could stand to be a little less sexualized and monogamous relationships could be given their due more often (though considering they're the happy ending of every romantic comedy/Disney movie ever, they're not exactly under-represented) but that doesn't mean casual sex is such a horrible thing. Again, if it's between consenting adults and nobody's getting hurt, who cares?
