How important is sex to you?

Speaking as a virgin with little guided morals beside my own, I don't think it's important. If I ever do the nasty, it's probably because my partner wants it more than me.

Well, I've gone 16 years with only my hand for such activities. It's not that important to me. I respect and endorse the idea of free love, but for me personally, I'm gonna wait for someone special. Call me old fashioned.

I'm just saying that the position of ''We will never have Sex for any other reason then having children.'' is unhealthy.
How so?

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.
Where I live, it is considered taboo, and we get along just fine. I dont see how it could be bad.

Sex really isn't as cut out as people think it is. People will say things like "Dude! Sex is so awesome! I totally banged that one chick at that one party that one night!" but in truth, it really isn't. And If I had to guess, a lot of the people who claim to have had sex, never have. Things like rumors, stories, peers, porn, and all that stuff will bring up your expectations for sex so high, when you actually have it you'll probably be disappointed. Now, I'm not being some hypocritical abstinence enforcer, but I'm just saying, there is nothing wrong with being a virgin. In my opinion it's better to be.

I'm still a virgin, but considering the fact that I don't seem to go 2 or 3 days without at least having a few sexual thoughts probably says something about how important it might be to me. Or it's just the whole "being a teenager" thing.

However, I want it to be an experience that I can share with someone I love deeply as well. Not just a one night stand or something. Just how I feel on the matter.

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.
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."

Like most things in my life I have never really achieved a balance, I tend to be a hedonist and I often do far to much of something. Drink, drugs and sex are a constant cycle for me and I often overdo them. Sex wise I often tumble from terrible relationship to terrible relationship and stuff the good ones up by wanting a lot more than that relationship provided.

So sex is pretty important to me in the way that its a big part of my life and the way it plays out.

I dont know what your relationship is like...if it works for both of you then thats great

what I mean is...having the attitude of "sex is wrong..except under very strict arbitrairy conditions" I dont think is correct or healthy

as in to bash into somones head that they shouldnt even THINK about sex or god forbid masturbation....THAT isnt healthy

I'm going to answer this question, with a very simple statement.

I'm 16.
S'all that needs to be said.
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???
...

Yeah, I don't believe it either, but a guy can hope can't he?

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.
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...

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
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...

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?
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...(!)

And yes, it is sexy! Arrow pushing! XD

***WARNING, FRANKNESS AND HONESTY AHEAD.***

After a late start, and initial elation, sex has become an increasingly stressful experience for me, over the last few years.

This stems, I would imagine, from the development of an ever-worsening problem with premature ejaculation, after the failure of my first relationships in which sex was an integral part, never mind that my relationships tend to be few and far between, offering little opportunity to acclimate to new partners.

Even so, I was never particularly bowled over by the experience, as it goes; even when I was entirely comfortable (or as comfortable as I've ever been) with sex. Far from insatiable, I tended to focus more on my partner's pleasure than my own... that's how I gain enjoyment from the experience, nowadays.

If only I could find women comfortable enough with receiving copious amounts of oral sex; as it is, those I've been with have tended to be relcutant to accept too much, which may result from poor body image. Hopefully, with that as a basis for sexual experience, I'd be able to become more comfortable in my own skin, without feeling that I was dissapointing my partner.

As it is, I'm well aware that my own problems stem from a lack of confidence and poor body image, but there's no simple solution to that, other than my continual efforts at improving my lifestyle and diet. Hopefully that would also result in libido comparable to that of my partners; I've already given up smoking, and am attempting to give up alcohol at present, as well as building on my exercise regimen, which should have a beneficial effect on my mindset.

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.
LOL I never pictured you to have that kind of sex drive XD
