Love, Sex, Marriage?

Which order would you choose?

I'll say #1 and/or #2

I want to know how good you are in bed before marriage, because if not then we'll have to work on that... BEFORE we reach that far...


Plus, I want to know if you are a receptive individual... some people don't think their sex is wack/bad even after you tell them and aren't down with learning new techniques, etc etc....

I don't see it being vital to my happiness. Unless we are having kids (also don't see this in my future) or for tax reasons. Real marriage would be joint ownership of property for me.

Life would be less complicated without love and marriage
????? It had to be a person from Jupiter to pick #6...

In the order of the topic
The reason I prefer this order is simple. This isn't meant for any person here but I usually hear that sex should come first for compatibility. From what I've seen that comes at the cost of clear judgement. People end up staying with a person they know they shouldn't be with because they didn't get to know the person first.


Also, for me personally, I need an emotional connection with a woman first. That comes with me discovering my own sexuality over the years.

Was there

Sex, love, marriage?


Or next time

Sex, money, marriage (pretend love is there in between wherever)
Love, marriage, sex
Love, love and sex. I've never thought of myself being married in my lifetime. Same with children - can't see myself having my own. Also, sex isn't as important to me as love because to me I'd rather know who you are on a deep/soul level, not just the physical level. Idk I'm prob odd, whatevs smile

No, there's no such thing as odd and weird or whatever.... that's your perspective!!!


Do you think you never pictured yourself married or as a parent because those things are overrated?
Love, sex, marriage.


#2


Sex provokes emotions in me that confuses and complicates the relationship (from my personal experience)


My husband was my friend for years before I fell in love with him. It wasn't a conscious decision to not have sex with him, he just took things real slow and during that time we fell in love. The physical act when we eventually done it was volcanic. There was no way I was not going to marry him after that! ?
At the moment just love


Sex and marriage to someone else would be too much of a feck up for me as i have a son at home...who wants their mother doing that?


I don't intend to get married again...too restricting, i am a free spirit


Sex....i have an open mind about later on down the line, when it's more appropriate



People are single for all kinds of reasons

Sex is after everything because it simply does not concern me how experienced or inexperienced he is. I am also not deathly afraid of a man being terrible in bed. Like anything else in communication, I'm okay with it taking practice, even if we never quite reach perfection.


I simply believe that, regardless of his past, we have our own sexual journey together where we must learn each other's bodies, rhythms, signals, scents, sounds, sensitivities...So, his level or experience or inexperience is also not a real concern of mine.


I am also a believer that marriage will bring with it a security that enables awkward sex and mistakes in bed with little judgement and lots of support and willingness to communicate - not to embarrass or train, but to better please one another. It's much less a prerequisite to marriage, in my personal opinion, but more like a lifelong requisite to maintaining our healthy relationship and building our lives together. smile If we have love for one another, then the chemistry is there - and everything else will fall into place - including the more pragmatic side of love (marriage and responsibility.) So that's part of my reasoning for choosing the order I did.

Marriage is overrated - yes. Kids? Nah, I don't think they're necessarily overrated. I just know I'm not responsible enough to have em. I do enjoy kids and seeing them learn new things and the funny stuff they say and whatnot - I like being an aunt. I just don't want any for myself. smile
