Sex without romance is tv porn.


You mean sex without romance or sex without love?

Good question. Without love. I have to admit, that there seems to be a bit of romance.

Both are quite entertaining an fulfilling but once you put them together artist and poets have to start translating it to the normal people ;)

No, sex is not romance. Any woman will tell you that. But for me without the romance,commitmet and love there is no sex. I don't do casual sex.

So stop b!tching and go get me another beer. And if you want sex, you are just going to have to wait for half time. No wait, I can go to the Golf channel and get the highlights.

Maybe you should give a clue to whomever you're upset at...directly.

I know the difference between sex and romance. One you pay an hour for and the other you pay eighteen years of child support for. LOL!

Romance, like foreplay, comes in varying colors and intensities. Serious romance, like 4 hour foreplay, doesn't happen every time; and many times may be absent all together. Romance requires thinking, planning, and effort, before the fact. It can be begun with foreplay, carry through to sex, and continue on after sex. Hiding a love note, somewhere she will find it through the day, is romantic. Sending a flower to where she works, for no occassion, is romantic. Hand dipping chocolate covered strawberries, to hand feed her, with champaigne, or a white wine, is romantic. Opening the sliding glass doors, and making love on the floor, during a violent thunder and lightening storm is romantic. Buying a box of rose petals, and writing her name, or writing I (heart) U, on the bed spread, or sheets in rose petals is bonus points romantic. I've got a lot more I'll share.

Romance without sex is sterile.


I agree, but as this is a dating site, I will go one step further. I think that true romance between two people who have not yet been intimate is the mutual desire and respect for one another to the point that sex does not have to be immediate, but eagerly anticipated, and acknowledging that your potential partner is worth getting to know first. Without this...its' just sex.

To me romance is better recieved when sex does not follow.That way i know it has been done for genuine reason and not just to get the obvious.

OK, I gotta get this off my chest. SOME of you guys out there consider yourselves romantic, then talk nothing but sex. When are you gonna realize that Romance is what leads up to Sex?? Yes, candlelight and wine is romantic, but you aren't gonna light a candle, Pop the cork on a bottle of wine, and get us into bed. You're gonna have to work a little harder than that!


that bottle of wine won't be the only thing that gets corked and popped ................

I agree with Bobbin. Romance is about the little things he does like leaves a note for you when he goes to work in the morning telling you he will miss you all day and can't wait to get home. I don't need a bunch of flowers but one freshly picked on the way home would be so romantic.............

I just have to say I don't get a lot of the posts here. When really in love the romance can be as little as a"hi sweetheart" when you get home from work or an impromptu weekend getaway to a cabin in the hills for dinner wine and look up at the stars to see the immenseness of your love for each other. And, sometimes, knock down drag em out Fvck your brains out, or the night spent intertwined in each other without even cuming or 'normal' intercourse. I admit I am lucky, my girl will put as much effort into romancing,loving me as I will her, now that is a relationship! love ya M

men are only looking for one thing whereas women looks for other things than jus sex... does it makes sense? yes but not completely... what i think is you ladies had too much bad experiences with men who just look for just sex cause you ladies look for the charming and irresistably hot guys and they're only trying to get you to bed... think bout it

Hahaha,

Its funny to see you say that some of the guys out there consider themselves Romantic, then talk nothing but sex (which I agree you are right)...

But it is also like SOME of the girls out there who post profile pictures with them either laying on a bed, or taking the picture from above in which you can pretty much see right down their shirt, and then put in their profile they are sick of guys messaging them looking for sex.

Im not saying they are asking for sex by posing that way, or looking for it, but really, what do they expect guys are going to think when they post pictures like that?

They're clearly demonstrating the fact they they do indeed have breasts. To feed the children that they want you to father, now, desperately, tick tock tick tock.

The ass pics are just to demonstrate the child-bearing hips.

Sex is the ultimate experience two humans can have together, the ultimate celebration of life, defiance of death! Is that romantic or not?


I hate to tell you that SEX is not the ultimate experience two humans can have together... Making LOVE is .......

You know what would be fun? If a woman who wanted romance, perhaps, put the first effort into being romantic? Yes, I mean the whole light the candles, set the mood and all that. It's not the bass-ackwards 50's where women were treated/considered helpless and blah blah blah (insert history lesson here). Hold the friggin' door open if you get to it first or even rush ahead to open it. That'd be nice too. Maybe more guys would be romantic if we weren't treated like male-prostitutes who , along with pick up the tab at dinner, is there to be the courteous one for your every need.

Men often don't even want to take women out on a few dates first ..
I have seen men thinking just talking...text...phone calls....emails..
for a while...is great foreplay....now lets hookup...he does not have to even take us out for a while dating first..
What happened to courtship??
I think I may blame a good handful of woman...we are creating this..
times are changing...
A lot of men do not know how to be romantic...and how to date first...
I wish times did not change as much as they did..
some change is good...but it went overboard..

Romantic sex or sexual romance?


Romantic sex: rose petals on the bed; deep, intense looking in your lover's eyes; soft lighting in the room; lots of caressing, soft, silky lingerie; the world stops moving and nothing matters but sharing the moment with your lover;

Sexual romance is all the good things that lead up to romantic sex: sensual flirting, soft touches; candlelight and soft music; he makes the woman feel like the most special woman in the world...and she does the same back....Sexual romance is the building of the slow-burning passion that takes place with romantic sex.

Of course, there is the heat-of the moment, rip your clothes off sex where there is no romance leading up to it.

PS: None of these things will be happening after one or two dates or a few IM sessions!! The things I mentioned are between two people who have already developed that connection. I think there are SOME men (and women) who have forgotten or do not have the patience for true romance. ...sad, they have no idea what they are missing!!
