How so?Monoochrom said:I'm just saying that the position of ''We will never have Sex for any other reason then having children.'' is unhealthy.
Where I live, it is considered taboo, and we get along just fine. I dont see how it could be bad.Also, if that's the plan, I wouldn't recommend actually having children, growing up in a enviroment in which sex is pretty much a taboo can't be good for a child's developement.
To be honest, I have no idea how to explain this kind of thing to someone with your condition.[/quote]Monoochrom said:snip.
its bad because depriving somone of a healthy sex and life and attitude to sex isnt good for themBOOM headshot65 said:Where I live, it is considered taboo, and we get along just fine. I dont see how it could be bad.

HOW is it bad? No one has said why other than the whole arbitrary "Repressed sex" and "sexual incompatability" that makes no sense. I dont see how being in a loving relationship with someone is any less loving because we kiss, cuddle, but dont have sex. And dont get me started on the whole "incompatable" thing, because to me that just says "Honey, I am breaking up with you. Dont get me wrong. I love your personality, we have so many similar interest, we rarely fight, and most other things are fine, but the sex is terrible. Goodby."Mortai Gravesend said:I think you'll need to convince him that what he's for right now isn't a healthy sex life and attitude. He probably thinks it is.Vault101 said:its bad because depriving somone of a healthy sex and life and attitude to sex isnt good for themBOOM headshot65 said:Where I live, it is considered taboo, and we get along just fine.

Soooo ... you are no longer twelve and see the error of your previous obsessions and have dedicated yourself to the life of a purely social/emotional individual, completely independent of non-critical physical urges???Patrick Buck said:I'm going to answer this question, with a very simple statement.
I'm 16.
S'all that needs to be said.
That's true... for all their plusses, there just aren't that many reactions that can be effectively enzyme catalysed... I think mainly because the rest of the compound not involved the reaction, for the most part, doesn't lend itself to binding well...Carbonyl said:It would be delightful to be able to use enzymes to bring up yields and stereocontrol, but it's just not feasible, aside from the difficulty in getting proteins, they are often not stable or soluble in reaction solutions. Seriously, protein precipitating out of solution is so friggin' annoying.
Mmmm... Wittig was what I used ylides in for several months trying to synthesise a pheromone, s'why it was the first thing that came to mind... still, we're getting onto metabolism, here, aren't we...? Starting to wrack my brains for the Krebs cycle...It's not a Wittig reaction, it's often used to transfer groups from one substrate to another: TPP (a cofactor for the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) is a sulfur and nitrogen-conatining ylid, and is quite lovely : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiamine_pyrophosphate
To be fair, I don't remember much about neurotransmitters either... 'tis a long time since I did that side of biology... though proton-pumps was an interesting aspect that seems quite synonymous with eukaryotic cells. I'll have to go look it up again, now, thanks...(!)Oh, I had forgotten about those. There is something really satisfying about using carbanions for things. I don't really know why.
Oh dear, I do not remember much about opioid receptors, I'm more familiar with hormone signaling and muscle excitation, at least in terms of neuron/sexual behavior biochemistry.
I could tell you about the effects of estrogenics? Or puberty onset?
Chemistry is sexy as hell though, does that count?

LOL I never pictured you to have that kind of sex drive XDGirl With One Eye said:Sex is very important for me. I don't have sex outside of relationships, but when I'm with someone I expect sex at least 4 times a week. But honestly if I had it my way we'd be doing it twice a day.
