3. If it is fun, it is neither empty nor meaningless. |
|
As a "duty" or if there is nothing better to do, or if you have sex just to prove that you are "desirable"...
THAT is empty and meaningless sex.

I got divorced in '97. But it lost its shine quickly.
Without emotion, it just feels too mechanical and perfunctory to me, i.e. about as enjoyable as scrubbing the floor.

Plus, lots of people are just not very good in bed. Most often it seemed to be a big waste of time.

9. Why does sex have to have "meaning"? |
|
That's nothing more than a societal construct. If two people hook up, have their fun, go their separate ways, who the fuck cares if it's "meaningless"?
If only the Puritans had decided that Newfoundland would be a good place to settle down...
