so if I had a very successful vasectomy 25 years ago, and there is no potential to procreate then I am not having sex for the past 25 years.

What exactly does having anal s e x have to do be with being only g a y?

My wife enjoys anal sex, and she/we are not g a y.

RE: toldyouso

So, according to your definition of s e x and gametes, since I had a vasectomy I cannot have sex?

No wonder I run around so h0rny all the time, I haven't had s e x since my vasectomy, 25 years ago. And I was worried that I may be a s e x addict.

Forget the question 'What is Sex', lets ask 'What is Infidelity'. There was a MSN story on what the connotation of cheating entailed and I was amAzed at the laxity in the moral beliefs people hold.

To go back to the questions above, just because someone does not consummate the act, does not mean they are not cheating on their significant other. If I kiss another woman, or hold them in an embrace while we are smooching on a beach somewhere out of the eyesight of my spouse, I haven't cheated now have I? Not according to the people surveyed in the MSN article.

Come on people, would you want your spouse kissing or holding hands with someone other than yourself? Would you want your spouse going to bed with someone else in their thoughts and dreams and longing for them instead of you?

It is all semantics. If you are not committed to a relationship now and don't want to give it your best shot, get out of it before you have children. If you can't give your husband or wife 100% of you, then find a way together to make it work. If you are only offering 50% of yourself into a relationship, that is all you are going to get out of it.

We have the lost our way because we have lost our sense of commitment and dedication to the thing that is supposed to have the highest degree of sanctity for a man and woman; marriage. There is no other bond or contract that is more precious that that of marriage. But yet we throw it, and others, away as though it is insignificant. And with it, we toss out all the belief systems we have taught our children as well. Aren't you all proud, they are going to grow up just like you. Good job guys. (This is for Republicans and Democrats, because we are all guilty).

NO ONE IS GUILTY, THAT IS RELIGIOUS HOGWASH,

Don't think she was using her mouth if she had 12 kids.

From the above article, "The study, based on 1991 survey of 599 college students, found something odd considering the parsing of male politicians. Women in general were less likely than men to consider oral sex or mutual masturbation as having 'had sex.'...A second survey in 1996, asked "Is oral sex 'real' sex?"
About 52 percent of the men said yes, but only 46 percent of women did."

Cool, there are several women out there that I could see/consider not "having sex" with. Sure would be nice to be able to tell my spouse we didn't have sex, just like Slick Willie told us.

I know I may be a sick puppy, but what happened to the cigar, smoked or just gnawed on?

I'd say sex is taking place when the nipple makes its first appearance.

So that's your answer - if a Republican is doing it, it's wrong?
. . . thanks for such a clear, and unbiased opinion.

Good call about the Reps hiding out, not like the Dems who do it in the Whitehouse. Good ol' Bill and the Kennedys, ain't they a hoot!
