You can’t argue with the research…
The possible health benefits of sex are spelled out in a soon-to-be-published article in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. The editor-in-chief of that journal, Dr. Irwin Goldstein, says that when you read about the physical benefits of sex, “you can’t help but say, ‘Holy God! Sexual activity is a very important thing to do. Human beings were really meant to do this.’ ” Goldstein is also the director of sexual medicine at Alvarado Hospital in San Diego, California.
In the article, which reviews several decades’ worth of studies on sex and health, researcher Stuart Brody concludes that penile-vaginal intercourse — and not other types of sexual activity — confer the most health benefits. For example, five years ago, Brody, now a professor of psychology at the University of the West of Scotland, asked 46 people to give a stressful speech to a nasty audience. . . . . The same wasn’t true for people who’d participated in other forms of sexual activities. Brody says “evolution strongly rewards behaviors that increase the likelihood of successful gene propagation, and only one behavior — penile-vaginal intercourse — is potentially reproductive.”

Yes I do and you just do not realize what a really good women wants! Of course most of them are not going to say that they resent the sex after a certain time. Women are naturally not as sexually driven as men. If you don’t see that then you need to go to fhu.com and try the free Be still exercise asap!
And no...I am not misreading the scriptures...that is what they say...plain and simple. Matter of fact...nobody is this stupid...so I think you are putting us on and having a good laugh.
Have a good day.
You wrote...on Christmas:
"Hello and happy Holy Days to all! I hope it is okay to post this today, as I am sitting here in my room in Rowland Heights, a good looking never been married man of 49, by myself on Christmas day. Although I am perfectly happy by myself, it would be so nice to share this and many other days with a bright and cute woman of the same conservative ideals that I have! Maybe this thread can be a beginning point for other FR sinlges to someday meet and get to know each other?
You do NOT KNOW the love of having a wife and the JOY of making LOVE to her. AND YOU DARE LECTURE THOSE OF US WHO DO?
How PRETENTIOUS of you.
Well, for giggles I called my wife (who happens to be past child bearing age)into my office and let her read this exchange. She’s a better person than I am, and lacks my mocking nature. Her only reply was, “That’s so sad that he actually believes that. Someone needs to let him know that women still have (sexual) needs as long as they’re healthy.”
She also suggested that if you don’t think older women enjoy sex, that you might want to check out the Sun City personals. I did, and it’s an eye opener.
It is your ego that takes my honest insight as a lecture. I know for a fact that really conservative and decent woman really would love a man who no longer needs her body. As per the other response, of course many women list for sex after a late age and that is because the men have corrupter her ealier and now she is living a sort of manly type of life. Not good!
So I’m curious. As you’re of the age, where women of your age are past their child bearing years, and apparently looking for a mate, do you expect to enter a sexless relationship?
it’s not really an issue for me as I no longer need sex. If I were to have a little bit in marriage that is ok. There can also be some physical warmth and closeness without having to culminate in the sex act. Men in their ego need make it far too important and to be honest, that is a core reason why we are losing our nation to the left. Real power and non hateful strength like Jesus had is being wasted away and drained right out of many men by having too much and unneeeded sex.
But you have no way of understanding that. Yet you still act as if you have insight. Trust me...you don't. I pray one day you will.
no actually I do have insight and you have misreading of scripture in order to cover your selfisness. That is the worst type of hypocracy and I do pray daily in silence. It has blessed me tremendously. You need to make excuses for really what becomes a weakness if we men continue on beyond where we should. You really are to lost in yourhead to see this.
When Proverbs 5:19 says "A loving doe, a graceful deer--may her breasts satisfy you always, may you ever be captivated by her love"...I know what that means from experience. There ain't NO misreading.
"I am my LOVER's...and SHE is mine." (SofS 6:3). Lover. Not mere companion.
"I said, "I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit." (SofS 7:8). Do you even know what that means? It isn't procreation that's for sure.
God created pleasure in sex and when its part of emotional love and spiritual love...its the perfect trifecta.
There is no selfishness here...because my wife DESIRES me as much as I desire her. That is part of being in a healthy relationship. No body is forcing sex on anyone in THIS household. We chase each OTHER around (making our kids sick). But they know we LOVE each other and want to be with each other...and not just sexually.
As the other FReeper did...I told my wife about this thread. Her reaction was "WHAT!" And then felt sorry for whoever you marry...if you ever do. There is NO WAY you can understand...so stop trying.
Maybe I will go climb the palm tree...
...”God created pleasure in sex and when its part of emotional love and spiritual love...its the perfect trifecta”...baholney....even wicked people get plenty of pleasure out of sex. Ever wonder why most , if not all, criminals are into porn? Because sex in it nature is intertwinned with emotional anger. The only way it is not is with a very mature couple who moderates the sex and after a season. let’s it go. Since you used animals as an example...do you see elederly lions or giraffes still humping away after their season and time for producing offspring? No. When they are done, that is it. only us humans get sin/sex addicted and then get tricked into thinking that sex need is love. Sorry my friend, I do have a good frame of reference as I am a man with some degree of sexaul drive. You don’t have to be a woman and be pregnant to know about preganancy or when a woman is being used.
Chickens? I thought it was cattle.
It was, according to every source I found - chickens.
A bull doesn’t do it that many times a day - I can tell you that much right up front as a country boy.
Squeeze it so hard I'm gonna fall right out of bed.
Wont you squeeze my lemon, till the juice runs down my legs?
How many of you here know what I'm talkin’ about?”
The Lemon Song (aka Killing Floor Blues) by Led Zeppelin
Climb that palm tree and take hold of its fruit!
Chickens it is, then.
A woman is not being used in a healthy sexual relationship. One of the main reasons for divorce is a lack and or loss of intimacy and sex. And it's not the men who are saying this. Women are saying this. And it is not the young women but older women in their 50 and 60's. A marriage counselor is in my office building and we have become friends. Women in their later years are frustrated beyond belief that their husbands have lost interest in them sexually and intimacy has been lost in their marriage.
A marriage without sex even in the twilight years is nothing but a pairing of roomates with a glorified tax deduction.
You mentioned you were single and I would resume you don't believe in premarital sex. If you do find a woman, please discuss this with her in detail before you get married so she knows exactly where you stand on sex. It will save you a divorce.
Well said. Every word true.
Just stay single Fabian. It’s truly the best answer in your situation.
You...a SINGLE guy...a NEVER MARRIED GUY...REALLY have no idea what you are talking about...you have no knowledge of the subject matter...and my wife thinks you are crazy (thank God). You are sitting here telling a bunch of married folks about their sex lives...and in some instances...telling WOMEN what they should be feeling...and in NO CASE do they feel that way...lol.
It's like this: I have played ONE...yes ONE...game of golf in my entire life. You telling me about sex in marriage would be like me telling Tiger Woods how to Golf.
I could show you scripture after scripture...but until you hold the love of your life in your arms...the Song of Solomon will be just empty words to you...you will see through a glass dimly.
I never said what women should be feeling...you are mischaracterizing my points. And you are wrong, many right thinking women don’t care much at all about sex in latter years and wish their men were the same way instead of being hord dogs forever! Do you think they have sex in heaven? No! No need for it just as the constant light and love their means no need for sleep either.
