You would think love for one another would be the defining factor, unfortunately
no amount of connection can transform meaningless to meaningful when they're
terribly boring in bed.

Meaningful is when you connect on many levels, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
Meaningless is just to do it because its there.

For all of you who say it's loving someone or being in love with them - You do realize that was only temporary or not genuine? Because you are here it's proof that it didn't last.

Many seem to think it is all a matter of "involvement", yes?
I agree....sort of.
Meaningless sex = when i hear about other peoples sexual acts.

Meaningful sex = when I am involved as a participant.

I am old and i suddenly realize that I never did the "Classic One Night Stand
What Did You Say Your Name Was the Next Morning Sex"
Even when sex was with a person i had known for only a short while, i
genuinely, at the very least, LIKED them as a Human Being or
i wouldn't have had sex with them. Weird huh ?

Oh well. No Regrets. Maybe in my Next Life.

i see the absence of this thread "MAKING LOVE " innately sex is just that "SEX " like most replies i read here absent of true emotion , a true exploration of the true essence of one's partner , tthier chemistry, sensuality, erotic sides, thier true libido one doesn't discover over night !!rump of Meaningless sex !!selfish empty emotionless action of a shallow minded individual !! self for filled pleasure !! define 'SEX "
"MAKING LOVE " the patience of more foreplay, romance the exploration of her body , not just to enter , but to intertwine with her mind body and soul a discovery of all that one misses with just sex.
a sincerity of true passion and affection to allow her to communicate to you her joys and intrique places of her pleasure zones PATIENCE !!to know when and when not to !! diversity and a variety an array sensuality, eroctism to explore her deep libido that defines her sexuality, your spirit join, one motion one mind and soul captured by romance unselfishly !! yes !!it flows free , without limitation of just lust , heart to heart !! endless heat of increditable passion !! a bond mentally as well as physically , equally given the quest just not for satisfaction but a reaction of two different souls that have intertwine in time !!that seems endless !!
you actually speak aferwards give her respect !!she's not just a object but a woman you've explore her endless treasures yet to unfold again and again !!
SEX IS SEX !!LOVE MAKING LAST A LIFETIME OF MEMORIES !! ummmmm!!!!!
which would be your choice ???

No care or feelings for the other person, simply using sex as a release is meaningless. You can get the same gratification alone. I can't see it being as fulfilling.

Meaningful sex is one of many ways of expressing yourself and feelings to your partner. There has to be an emotional connection (for me, anyway) for sex to be meaningful.

Thank you Marlayna.

Honestly do we have to have this discussion?

Meaningful sex is when you connect with someone on a different level. It could be a passionate one night stand or with someone you have been dating.

I can't even recall throughout my history of lovers, even when they were one night stands, having meaningless sex. You decide what kind of intimacy and what level you have with someone, every intimacy situation is different and its definitely in the eye of the beholder.

Honestly, nobody has to discuss anything they don't want to on here.

But then you went ahead and discussed it. Apparently it's an acceptable topic since it hasn't been deleted, like some of the other threads I've taken the time to post on here have.

I agree with Mike below, it's a meaningful discussion! :laugh:

The point Marlayna and Stevie Alice should be taking away from this is that people's definitions of this -- as with everything else related to relationships -- vary. Keeping that in sight when talking with people that they'd like to have long-term relationships is very important. Your assumptions will cause as many problems as other people's actions.

Cheers,
Mike (define your terms, don't assume common definitions)

Meaningful vs Meaningless Cheeseburger.

There is no such thing as a meaningless Cheeseburger. It can provide sustenance, or raise your cholesterol. If you rarely indulge, having one can be euphoric! If you eat them every day, you may get bored and all it means is that you've eaten another cheeseburger, but are no longer hungry.

Likewise, there is no meaningless sex. However, like a cheeseburger, your experience may vary, along with the personal value you assign to it at any particular time. Sex is usually a little more intense than a cheeseburger (at least I think so!), and can range from an exquisitely positive mind-altering experience to a truly horrific traumatic experience (never been there, thank goodness!). Even if you're unconscious, the consequences may be meaningful!

The main difference is that if you have a more than casual relationship with cheeseburgers, you may need professional help. Or Weight Watchers.

It's all relative, a matter of degree and your own perception.

meaningful: -passionate love making between two connected souls embraced in captivation, intrigue, desire and curiosity
meaningless: -how much tequila did we drink, and who are you again?

For me, there's no such thing as meaningless sex.

The fact that I've had sex with someone doesn't automatically mean that a relationship is forthcoming, though that I generally the goal. Any number of things can transpire afterward that lead nowhere.

Msg: 1 -- What makes sex "Meaningful" to you? And what would make sex "Meaningless" to you?


Why make it complicated? "Meaningless" is a one-night stand. "Meaningful" says she wants me all the time. Tell me, how DIFFICULT is that to understand?

It means whatever you want it to mean.

I don't watch tv for any purpose other than entertainment and I don't need a deeper reason, so why would I have sex for any other reason? What's wrong with sex for recreation? Making babies or just plain ol' feeling good.

Why does everything have to have meaning?

This is like when people are religious just because they want life to have meaning. Who says it does?

Sex for meaning is a modern invention... probably just to get women to not feel like sluts.


exactly funk..i dont understand either, why people have to have a meaning for everything or a "title' for everything..my gosh..people like to "label" things too flippin much....i only have sex because i like it..period...and if i like it it s "meaningful" to me..why?..because i got what i wanted which is to feel pleasure!..plain and simple..

feeling a need to discuss it would pretty much qualify it as "meaningless"

(in avoidance of "messages this short... blah, blah, blah edit, must really I say more? how much more?) :modhammer:

I need to at least like and be attracted to the person I'm about to sleep with.. but yeah. Which is why I never see any sex as meaningless.

I really enjoyed your cheeseburger analogy/comparison zentral. The same cheeseburger can be just so-so or exquisite depending on how much we are craving it as well.

Hummm,is this like the eating"Pizza Question?"

For most men getting laid is always meaningful.

For many woman it can be as meaningful just as well.

For many men they enjoy their ffff theory. find,feel,fuvk,forget.
For many but not all women who enjoy this ffff theory as well.

And for those who know sex with their s/o is about as meaningful as it gets.....Why??
It all the same,right?? Not.

Cuz for those who are in love the act is mulitplied and pleasure is many times over...

for those who been there, know this,and the only ones who understand this.

Some like there pizza any why they can get it,

and some like the pizza with all the trimings,

so take your pick!

I'll take all the trimings!
