  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Okay, I'm bored, so...

Say you meet the perfect mate. Like, you made a list of everything you want in the ideal spouse and you found that person and they meet your every standard perfectly. They also want to spend their life with you. BUT they don't want to have sex, ever.

Would you marry them?

Personally... I would.

I'm on the fence about it. If we were absolutely, madly in the love with each other and she had a condition that prevented her from having sex, yes I would marry her. There are still other things that quell sexual desire. I wouldn't NOT marry someone just because of sex. But to me, fulfilling sexual desire and having children are the big reasons for marry. Even Paul said it's better not to marry unless your sexual desire becomes so strong you cannot handle it to avoid sin.

As bad as I want kids, if she had a condition that prevented her from sex/kids, I would still consider it. If it was just because she was asexual, had no interest or just didn't want to, then I probably wouldn't. She'd make a good best friend to hang out with.

There's still kissing and cuddling, all that good stuff...

Well if there is kissing and cuddling the sex would naturally follow.

I for one have had a sexy young girl and had my passion filled days and nights full of rampant sex.

I think I could live with someone and not have sex with them. I am forty years old now, sex is not as big of a thing to me as it once was when I was a young man.

I would say no. Am I sex crazy? Maybe, but it is very important as Saucy said. This is part of love and intimacy. I could respect if there sex drive was less than mine, might not like it, but respect it. I heard a recent survey that happy married couples have sex an average of 3 or 4 times a week. I'm down with that.

I mean this in no judgement or condemnation of that person or people like that person, but no, I don't think I would. While sex isn't the most important thing, it is something I do want and would value in a marriage. Also, while not at all against adoption, I would like to try to have kids the good ol fashioned way. So, yeah.

I'd also def be down with the above survey results. Just sayin.

No. One of the reasons I want to get married is to have intimate physical affection with someone. I already have friendships with everything else. I don't understand why she would want to marry me in the first place if she didn't want that.
