Whatever floats your boat, bro. Though it's a pretty ignorant opinion.
I wouldn't say I'm exactly random, either~
Feel free to think it's an ignorant opinion or that you're not a random person to me.
On-topic:
"A person deeply in love has a brain activation pattern similar to someone hooked on cocaine. They simply work on the same mechanisms that surround dopamine, or the hormone of reward and motivation/ anticipation of reward." - Mama, so having a loving girlfriend (or boyfriend) is like doing cocaine without the bad side effects.

What a philosophical chat to wake up to~.
There are so many pregnant girls/girls with babies/whores at our school, that we have a daycare and an infant's school. How sad is that?
The Loli 100% agrees with Okami's POV. Especially with the morals she was raised with. She couldn't do what Okami described without feeling guilty, lost, depressed, and disappointed.
Basically, the Loli wants to live the typical "American Dream", she guesses. Loving husband, a son and two daughters, and a house on Manhattan Beach.~

I don't really want to just "settle down" when I'm somewhere in my 30s, and marriage isn't necessary to love someone to the fullest extent, but I might consider marriage and starting a family in the future. If I find someone great and I've been with them for a long time, I'm not gonna run and abandon her just because she says she wants children or something.
Mama always seem so wise.
I'm actually surprised by how many people actually have positive thoughts on relationships or even have negative ones about intimacy with no strings attached.
Makes me wonder why do I read and hear so much about promiscuity in men and women and hear and read people joking around about sexual things.
I hope I find that special someone. Even have my first time with someone else who's also...in my condition, if you know what I mean.

There's nothing wrong with being intimate with other people while having "no strings attached." For some people, that works. For others, it doesn't. The only negative of short-lived relationships like those are just STDs and STIs. And I'm not even trying to downplay those; those are huuuuuge negatives.
You don't ever want an STD.
People like that though, you wouldn't ever want as a significant other. Most of the times, they sleep around because they can't do commitment or are just really unstable, or just don't want/like relationships.
Being promiscuous has such a negative connotation to it. I just think that if you like to have multiple sexual partners, you should definitely keep quiet about it. Being public about how many people you've slept with just makes ya look bad.

Some like to boast about how they "hit that". I bet some find it sickening hearing about someone boasting about their successful "sexual conquest" with you.
But, it's not like people who don't like relationships and just like to have fun in that sort of sense are bad. Nobody's a complete saint. Not even those who call themselves saints or are given the title of one are saints. If anything, they're less holy than their more humble and less powerful follows and such.

Lol. Well when the school has all of its classes in
Portables with almost each teacher getting cut... A Daycare is pretty unnecessary.

[font="Tahoma"]I actually like the idea of independence. I like to visualize myself in a semi-organized, artsy flat working four different jobs (to shake up the boredom of a single full-time job), venturing into the depths of city culture, and getting a constant feed of inspiration in whatever I do, see, or feel. Independence is a live factor when it comes to adventure, and that's what I love about it.
But being in a relationship with someone else, who respects the way you are, shares or doesn't share common interests, and adds flavour to your life is always an optimistic bonus. "Adventure" is, by definition, "an exciting or very unusual experience; a bold, usually risky undertaking; hazardous action of uncertain outcome." In a broader sense, "love" fits this very definition.
That, I think, is ultimately why people seek relationships longing for the over-abused word called "love." I honestly confess that sometimes I think high school relationships are superficial and finicky. They don't always last long. People brag - they kiss and tell; they make sexual (and over-used) jokes. It is easy to make such an assumption when the society of high school has been dubbed as such. However, in retrospect, relationships are all meaningful. They may not last long - due to blind infatuation, perhaps - but the connection one feels is unmistakable and only describable in the words of he or she who has and reciprocates these feelings.[/font]

Oh?.
But really-- I don't see
why you shouldn't. If someone thinks of you badly for it; boohoo for them. It's an opinion, nobody cares.
Now if you go around sleeping with every single guy without protection? Sure, that's pretty bad. But there's nothin' wrong with enjoying (protected) sex with strangers.
The only people who get upset about people being so called "sluts" when they simply enjoy sex are typically either
1- prudes.
2- butthurt.
You have a right to your opinion, of course.. but you also have no right to tell people to shut up because you don't like it what they do.~

It's good to be honest to yourself sometimes. That's why I made that thread. No, wait, strike that. I made that thread as a tribute to Ithiliel and everything she had been going through at the time. Of course, I am not exempt from what I did say behind her back then, but it's only because I've always had certain morals and beliefs when it comes to sleeping around with people.
I didn't know her whole story and I made some silly judgments, and I apologized for those.
With that said, I still don't mind whoever else's sex life, as long as they don't boast about it, you know? That's why I say that being promiscuous has negative connotations to it. "You've slept with HOW many people?? Oh, you're definitely a slut." Of course, you never know how many relationships a person has been and etc., but I just think one's sex life should be a private thing.
Unless it's one of my close friends, I don't support anyone talking about the amazing threesome he or she had last night. It seems a little arrogant and rude, especially if saying this to a bunch of strangers. You should also be decent, even classy. Talking about how someone went down on you last night doesn't make you either.

I used to think the same way about relationships. I was all like, "you guys are all so lame, no matter how much you think you love this person the relationship is just going to go wrong in the end". Then I met someone totally awesome, who totally understood me, who I just wanted to see smile and hear her laugh every day. Now I don't know if people feel the same way as I feel about the person I like, heck, maybe even love but that is my reasoning towards having a relationship.

It makes people feel not alone in the world. It's also our instinctual drive to find a mate and procreate.
That, and well... it's nice to have someone to have sex with.
this sums it up pretty well and without long
paragraphs really
makes me wonder sometimes-
what exactly is the difference between sleeping around and just with your lover?
biologically speaking there shouldn't really be a difference from 1 body to another- in terms of sex
so yeah I can't see how "fun" it is
