<p>what if the package was delivered upside down and it was one of the fragile packages that should only be delivered facing a certain way? what if the goods were delivered without a package? ok I can't really think of any good questions</p>
<p>what if the package is made of cardboard?</p>
<p>what if the package had a protrusion like a cone inside :D</p>
<p>What if the package didn't have enough postage?</p>
<p>What if the mailman took the package for himself?</p>
<p>What if the package was sent to the wrong address?</p>
<p>What if the package was tampered with?</p>
<p>What if the package only contained styrofoam chips and bubble wrap?</p>
<p>What would the bubble wrap and packing peanuts even represent? 0.o
What if the package fell off of the mail truck?</p>

2 people who enjoy spending time together and love each other can be friends or family. Physical, sexual attraction is what turns it into a romantic relationship. If you enjoy spending time with someone but hate having sex with them and have no sex life as a result, then sounds like you two are meant to be friends, not married.

But friends don't spend their life together. When one moves the other is left behind, and even when together they don't spend as much time together like couples do, nor sleep in the same bed. And family is just a group of people to whom you happen to be related.</p>
<p>Sexual attraction is not necessarily what turns it into a romantic relationship... it is possible to feel romance from the actions of someone whose mind and personality appeal to you. Nothing is "meant" to be; people who docilely take what happens despite their dislike and justify it as being just the way things are are weak. If two people are in love despite not enjoying the sex, they don't have th be friends, they can still be a couple and be married.</p>

Maybe you have no sexual desire, but most people do.

A few people are born with no sexual desires, are these people incapable of love because of it? What if someone is castrated, is he unable to love anyone ever again because he no longer produces the hormones of sexual lust? Are old people who are incapable of feeling sexual desire anymore also incapable of loving their partners anymore? Or what of people who have sexual desires, but these desires cannot be satisfied by the person they love, for some reason? Does everyone need sex so much they will give up a chance at life with someone they love because that particular need won't be satisfied? People do not die for lack of sex, and I would like to think that for some people the comforts of the mind and heart that the company of a loved one can bring outweight the comforts of the body that might have to be given up, but then again maybe I shouldn't expect much from human beings anyways... most of them are disgusting creatures.</p>

If you're married and hate the sex, you're gonna look for it somewhere else. Divorce is better than cheating.
[/quote]
Some people have "open" marriages where they can look for sex beyond their spouses. Or just freaking masturbate, Jesus Christ.</p>

Luckily, people who have pre-marital sex can avoid this little issue by sampling the goods before buying the package.

People are not god damn packages. Even as a misanthrope I find that degrading. Though I suppose if you are just getting married for the sex, the analogy holds.</p>
<p>Look, no offense Jaime, let's just agree to disagree...I mean, you just keep coming up with "what ifs" like what if he's castrated? what if he no longer produces hormones? what if he loses it with age? All can happen, sure, but I think you're going a little overboard. If you end up with a husband you can't stand to have sex with and choose to masturbate by yourself for the rest of your life instead, more power to ya. Most people couldn't stand that. You think it's "disgusting", but sex is a vital part of marriage, and physical attraction plays a big role in relationships for most people. Most of us would prefer to have a partner we could have sex with, instead of jacking off alone in our bathrooms for the rest of our lives...just personal preference, I guess. </p>
<p>The package analogy was not meant to be degrading...it was meant to be a funny joke. Everyone seems to have gotten it but you :)</p>
<p>I somehow disbelieve most Americans would be okay with an "open marriage." We established that marriage is an action of love, so how is it okay for your husband/wife to go "make love" to someone else just for pleasure. </p>
<p>If you are one of the 1/10 of 1% of Americans who do not want sex in their relationship, you should find someone else who does not want sex in the relationship. Normal people want a sexual relationship with their spouse, and the marriage would likely not go very far without at least occasional sex to let each other become intimate with one another.</p>
<p>depends on what you believe.</p>
<p>i believe i should be able to go for a ride so i know what i'm getting into. Sex is a huge part of a relationship. if its bad..... that might not be good. i'm young, i like to have sex, its fun, relieves stress etc. I have dated girls who were bad at making love... how can that be? well... some talked too much, some were like a mummie with legs in the air, and others were total freaks. you needa know what your significant other likes to do in bed...</p>
<p>but then again, its all on your beliefs. if you don't think sex is an integral part of a relationship, then date someone who feels the same. i on the other hand would see myself having sex with my partner atleast 3 times a week.</p>
<p>brilliant idea! couldn't agree more!!</p>
<p>Personally, I will wait until marriage to do it with ‘the one’. Preferably, first kiss too ;D
and, no, I’m not even religious,</p>
<p>I’m OK with pre-marital sex. </p>
<p>The problem is, pre-marital shouldn’t be the definition of the kind of sleeping around that occurs today in modern societies. It’s non-marital sex that happens. Pre-marital sex implies that you are considering marrying the person. That’s not even part of the equation for the majority of sexual decisions these days.</p>
<p>I recommend Mark Regnersus’s book, Forbidden Fruit, if you want to know more…</p>
