Hmmmm... cool. I have been celibate for a dozen years. I have known sex with someone I love... the sexual joy that makes you weep when you come. I have known the opposite when a partner trashes you by being manipualtive and just a shitty person. Fact is, I don't trust people anymore. If I knew I could have sex and nothing bad would happen, I'd fuck my brains out. If I knew I could fall in love and nothing bad would happen, I'd jump. I'd choose love over sex simply because of what I said above.

But, there is nothing wrong with sex, if you are willing to take the chanceSSS. Saying otherwise is against the basic premise of this thread IMO. And, I think at least one other poster who has attemted to say sex and love are different and need not be combined exclusively.
