That the only sex I have. I don't want kids, never have, fixed that problem. Love... Well that doesn't seem to be in my cards and that's fine with me. So all I'm left with is option 3 or become celibate... O.o I'll stick with recreation.

It was called the 70's and 80's! I was there! It was wonderful!

If I ever have sex again, it'll only be for recreation.
I'm not interested in the other two.

Have you heard this one? *"Three engineers are having lunch and discussing what kind of engineer God is. The mechanical engineer says, "God must be a mechanical engineer, look at the complex structures of the body!" The electrical engineer says, "No, look at the electrical processes of the body, which the brain could not operate without, he must be an electrical engineer." The civil engineer says, "You're both wrong, he had to be a civil engineer. Who else would run a waste line through a recreational area?"

I have to say cerebral intercourse is stimulating.

When I had a vasectomy in 1998, my friend, who was also my GP, Clapped me on the back and said, "My friend, you are now a Recreational Vehicle." I laughed really hard, and I'm sure that made it hurt more when the anesthesia wore off.

I have to at least like the person before I have sex with them. Haven't and won't procreate. This planet already has too many people and too many kids that need parents. Trying to figure out what love is.

adventure sex

No. I cannot.

I've enjoyed sex, of course. But I could never simply equate it to recreation. It has to be an expression of love, affection, or intimacy for me.

I could laugh at the silliness of it. I could cry because of the passion of it. But I personally cannot treat it as simple exercise or fun. It was, and always has been special to me. An exercise of trust and caring and empathy.

Honestly I'm a little envious of those that could treat it more casually. But then again, I like that it's more of a spiritual connection for me. I so rarely have that kinda feeling from other things.

At my age no .I have been happily married for 60 years .How much sex and recreation do people my age desire .But as far as a cerebral connection (love ) This is far more desirable

yes, home entertainment

absolutely, & i reckon that's the aspect of sex i'm actually missing most. i find the wish to procreate rather lame in this day & age, & love is available on so many other levels... but the recreational part, hmmm, that's quite irreplaceable.

Oh, yeah, totally.

Logically, I would say of course. But emotionally I guess I'm old fashioned. I like it to mean something between the participants other than just sex. My heart gets involved. I had some one-night stands when I was a young man, and they just weren't satisfying like sex with someone you love.

Yes. Like anything in nature, sex serves multiple purposes. I'm always amazed at people who call sex a sin, even when it's with one person for your whole life. Yes, some catholics actually still believe that sex with your husband or wife is a sin.

Sex can be for procreation, or it can be for bonding as a couple, or it can simply be a fleeting moment of pleasure and release shared between two people who really don't want or need anything else from each other.

That's like asking what is the difference between naked and nekkid. Bwahahaha

I'm good with sex in Parks & Recreation ~

Yes! That sounds wonderful!

Uses about 300 calories, and aerobic if you do it properly......

Sex as recreation is pleasurable alright. It is like self-pleasuring with (mutual in best of events) assistance and/or use of someone else. It even passes for a 'sex life' for many people. Nothing evil or harmful about it; save as being a detour that never ends on the way to an unknown destination. At least one is traveling.

Procreation is out for me because I'm beyond that and didn't want to be a parent, anyway. I would combine love and recreation -- or at least like and recreation: I have to be with someone I know and like -- doesn't have to be a relationship, but if I enjoyed being with them it could be recreational, because I still need to feel a connection with them beyond just physical. Because sex with someone I don't know or don't like would just be a chore.

I have procreate as a result of having sex. I have had sex with people I love. And I have had sex just fur fun.so yes I have had sex for recreation . Isn't that what drives us to sex in the first place?

We can and we do. The trick is to emotionally separate the activities that you share at home with the activities that you share with others at parties and events. Frankly I love seeing Mrs Flettie being entertained by other gents. As long as its all safe and consensual - its all good.
