it is that persons problem, right? But, I suppose I'd be taking advantage her her addiction.
If she was addicted to giving away money, I don't think I'd take it. |

I actually don't know anyone with this problem, I'm just asking because I think it's an interesting topic to discuss.

I'm talking about people that have a real problem with sexual addiction. Addiction is defined by how it affects the other parts of a person's life. Their job may suffer because of their addiction for example.

Just say, "If I am going to be your therapist, I get paid $100 per hour CASH up front". YES! |

Would it be unethical to continue having sex with a person that has a problem with sexual addiction once you know about it?

I think what RainbowTrout is saying is sometimes a man can become captivated by a woman that isn't good for him. His friends told him she wasn't good for him, but he was blinded by the awesome sex. After a while, he may begin to see that this woman really isn't good for him and his friends were right all along.

Love is a thing not of mind

Love is an emotion. All of our emotions are there to help us survive or guide us to finding a suitable mate. I do not think love is permanent. I think it's there to bond two people to one another long enough to raise their children to an age where they can survive mostly on their own (I'm talking about surviving in the world we lived in 50,000 years ago in a tribal community). Then the partners break up and find new partners. This mixes up the gene pool and that's a good thing.

Handsome or Character

IMHO it's a balancing act. What you may lack in looks can be made up for in character. At least in the short term.

Meeting someone isn't that difficult. It's all about you. If you lead an interesting life, people will want to join you in it.
I met a man that was in an accident and paralyzed from the waist down. When he couldn't drive, he designed a truck that he could drive. In fact, he designed a number products for himself to make his life easier and then started selling them to others with similar problems. He became wealthy because he had the right attitude and didn't allow his disability to slow him down. He's a dynamic person and people love being around him because he gives off a positive vibe. Being around him makes others feel good. And what woman wouldn't be attracted to that? So, be happy! Be a positive and dynamic person! Make your life exciting and women will come to you because most men are dull. |

It's not the sex that complicates things. It's trying to figure out what the sex means. We grow up with our parents telling us sex is something special only shared between two people that love each other. This is nonsense. Sex isn't special. People do it everyday all over the world. Our parents only told us that so we wouldn't have children too early to be able to support them.

I did not come from a broken home. My mom and dad stayed married for 60 years. However, I have learned that kind of relationship just isn't realistic anymore. Today (at least in my country) men and women are equal and can take care of themselves. If a woman has a child, a man should give at least his financial support to that child. But, if he doesn't want to be involved beyond that, it's his option. After all, she had the option of abortion and he doesn't have any say in her choice. She can end an unwanted pregnancy even if he is willing to take on full responsibility for the child. Men should have the same option.

We meet by chance… fall in-like at first glance… can’t wait for romance… we unbuckle our pants... during foreplay we arouse our senses and curiosity… our passion controls us with its intensity… together in-lust our bodies are on fire… our minds are on the brink… and… we don’t stop to think… we react to our impulses… tearing at our clothes… we’re naked and exposed… craving and maintaining caresses… entangled and breathless… we can’t get enough of this… we two are now one… in-love and having fun… A lot of us test the waters(sex) before we jump in the pool(relationship) feet first. So… can awesome sex be what brings two people together at the beginning of an emotional connection? Is it possible to have nothing else in common except great sex, and yet still be able to make the relationship work to our equal advantage, if while staying together for the sex we learn to grow in other areas too? If we go our separate ways, then meet up again, and the old sparks reignite, is it acceptable to have one more tryst? I think most people today have unrealistic expectations about relationships. We want someone to be our best friend, our lover, our caretaker. We want them to calm us when angry, make us smile when sad, have the right answer when we don't what to do, keep our secrets and grab us before we fall off a cliff. Just one person to be a whole village for us. If you have a person that gives you awesome sex, why isn't that enough? You can find other people that give you the other things you need. I have friends with knowledge I don't have and I know things they don't. We exchange ideas on many topics. But, we don't have sex. But, good sex can become an addiction. The other person can get you hooked and take advantage of you if you allow it. Sex feels good for both partners and no one should use sex as a tool to gain the upper hand. You must keep it in perspective. Sex is like air. It only becomes important when you can't get any. |

What exactly does "settle down" mean?
When I was about 30 I was in a pretty good place. I had a steady job with a good income, owned my house outright and the future looked bright. I was living my dream. But, I thought something was wrong. I thought by time I was supposed to have a family. So, I decided it was time to get married. It was probably the biggest mistake of my life. I've been divorced for about 20 years now and I'm back to living my dream life. If I want a woman, I go out and find one. If she becomes a bother, I break up with her and find another. No one nags me. I'm not responsible for anyone's happiness but my own and I'm very happy with very little. One thing is sure, I'll NEVER get married again. But, does that mean I'm not settled down? I don't think so. |

Dreams are just your brain entertaining itself while the rest of you is asleep. Sometimes it's pleasant, sometimes not so much. Occasionally, you can gain some insight into something in a valuable way. But, that doesn't mean they forecast the future.

I can think of one advantage to being immortal. I could win that bet over the return of Jesus.

I suppose I'm unusual because I'm an OTR truck driver. But, even if I lived in a house, I still wouldn't have a land line. I'd have a voit phone.

Almost all elderly in nursing homes or their next of kin are asked to sign a living will that states whether or not extraordinary means are to be used. If that nursing home had such a policy, then residents should all have been informed of that. You have to ask yourself, is CPR "extraordinary means"? It was unheard of years ago, so maybe. Nursing homes in my opinion is are warehouses for people to go and be taken care of until they die. Most of the residents are not going to be getting better. This is true. I can also see that many of you simply didn't listen to the podcast I linked to or even bother to read the information. Okay, assume they had preformed CPR on her and "saved her life." How long would she have lived after that? Two months? That's about how long the average person lives after CPR is performed on them. What would have been the quality of of those final days? Medicine has reached a point where they can keep a body alive indefinitely. CPR, feeding tubes, ventilation, IV hydration and so on. But, at what cost? Should you spend your life's savings keeping your spouse alive just so they can lay in a hospital bed and watch TV assuming they are even conscious? Many doctors wear a DOR (do not resuscitate) tag around their necks because they know the truth. That these life saving tricks aren't like TV shows. People simply do not get any better after they're done and allowing them to die is often the kinder option. |

Did you know that most of the time giving someone CPR breaks a their rib cage? I wouldn't want it done to me, as well as all that other "life saving" nonsense. If I cannot be saved with drugs, just pump me up with pain meds and let me die.
And you know what? Most doctors feel the same way. So, before you judge them too harshly, listen to this podcast. http://www.radiolab.org/blogs/radiolab-blog/2013/jan/15/bitter-end/ |

I have a smart phone and I don't think I could do without it. I use it for GPS, banking, gaming, internet radio, TV, a flash light, mapping, calculator, translations, tuning my guitar, a calendar/date book, camera, shopping, dictionary, alarm clock and I'm using it now as a WiFi hotspot to connect my laptop to the web. All for just $78.00 a month. And it works all over the USA. Who needs landlines?

That film wasn't "Flatline." It was "Brainstorm" and starred a VERY young Christopher Walken. It's the first thing I thought about too.
