You seem to feel that love and sex are interconnected.
As someone with extensive experience in both, I can attest that that is an un-true idea.

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.

People who are romantically in love with one another are completely capable of not having sex. It's not like romantic love has to involve sex. Otherwise, people would be incapable of waiting until marriage to have sex with their romantic partner, which obviously isn't true.

Not necessarily. We frequently do connect them, but that doesnt mean they are inherently connected.
Again, any form of love can be connected to sex if the participants wish. There is no set formula.
As an aside, I'm curious where your expertise on this subject was gathered.
I have been through the trenches of love many times in my life and my sexual experiences started at 14. I have something of a basis for my conclusions. You are, by your own admissions, completely abstinent and I've not seen you mention any female companions so....I dont know how seriously I can take your conclusions on the subject.
A person with no experience in sex and little in love giving his views on the subjects is rather like a life-long vegetarian giving his thoughts on the best way to cook fillet mignon

We don't typically combine them in that fashion but thats not to say it cant be done.
You didnt answer my question. How do I take what you say seriously when you dont seem to have any real experience on the subject?

oh well. I guess it was too much to ask to back up your ideas. In the future we will just let you say whatever pops into your head without contesting it or challenging it.

I HAVE explained myself, repeatedly. You have not answered my questions and not responded to almost everything I've said.

Yes, because it's on the internet, it MUST be true.
As someone who's actually BEEN in romantic relationships AND had sex, I can attest that romance does not have to involve sex. We often package the two, but there is no necessity for them to be together.
Now you are splitting hairs.
For the third time, why should I take what you have to say on this subject seriously? You have no apparent practical experience to speak of whereas I've been dancing Ovid's steps since I was 14. Love isn't something you can study in a clinical fashion, if you aren't in the trenches taking the shells, you cant really have an idea of what it's like. Love is a singular experience that I could compare to nothing else on earth. You cant learn about it by searching the internet.

Things are not as cut and dried as they appear to be in the text book.
Fine if we want to play it that way, you still miss it. The dictionary definition of romance is love that focuses more on emotion than on sexuality, so romantic love is love that holds the emotional side higher than the sexual side. I personally think that's a crap definition but there it is.

I So Hate Consequences!!!!
So hundreds of studies, numerous doctorates, and intelectual disscussion hold nothing to your mighty power? Is it not more plausible that you mean something else? Perhaps Companionate, Liking, or Empty Love?
No it does not, romance is defined as the actions and feelings of people who are in love. It is not a love. Romantic Love, as a term in itself, means love that is passionate and intimate. Passion being the sexual drive, where as intimacy is the feelings of closeness.

Show me these studies on romantic love.
You are attempting to sidetrack the discussion to hide the fact that you have no idea what you are talking about.
