This sounds like quite a jaded opinion towards 'love' and 'romance'.

I don't know what deep seated psycological issues have led toward this attitude, but I doubt that it can be too healthy. It's great that she can enjoy sex (some people don't), but in the end sex isn't meant to be a great thing on it's own. It is part of a package deal with 'love' and 'romance' and 'trust'. I just hope for her sake that at some point she can open her eyes and see men as something more than the other end of the penis.

Personal bashes aren't affectionate. They're commonly referred to as bitching and moaning.

Hint, hint.

Yep - she certainly has a peculiar attitude.

I don't think this should have been moved, as it was not inteded as a bash.

Yeah, it's not like you called her a cum guzzling gutter slut....

Sorry I'm with Pretty Pinay on this one. As a guy I enjoy casual sex as do many of my friends, women included. You need to drag your attitude into the 21st century. As for psychological issues, you wouldn't say that if a guy had made that statement would you?

Everyone is entitled to his/her opinion on stuff. If her "jaded" opinion works fine for her then let her keep her good thing going. Pretty Pinay is also entitled to share her opnion with others wherever she posts.

Oh suck it. Its not good for her, I believe thats the point of calling it a disorder.

And if a guy said that, Id just assume his home life sucks and his parents only taught him that relationships suck, and he is thus scarred and atrophied. Id pity him maybe, and mock him certainly.

Bullshit, think of all the people you've slept with. Were you truly in "love" with them? Or was it an infatuation, lust or merely the need to relieve yourself.
The word love is used so inappropriately these days.

Thanks Pikey_Jay and JustLanded. Also, I don't think the original poster, Prometheus, intended his post to flame me. I think his post was kind, that he posted with class, and that he did not intend it to flame me. Of course, I respect--though do not agree--with the statements of some of you.... But that's not a problem. Love, Venus

Wrong. As if the proliferation of STD's and a decaying value system aren't proof enough against "joining the 21st century". I wonder if Pol Pot tried that phrase to whip up the people around him into a frenzy.

I hate "Playa's" and sluts equally, so I'm not being sexist...

I just love the use of "Romanticism". This might sound pedantic, but it should be romance. If romanticism were fucking up relationships, we would have scenes of wordsworth and colerige smoking opium, writing poetry, admiring the english country side and beating the fuck out of married couples. Maybe the brothers grimm could start leaving abusive messages on each partner's answering machine, pretending to be the other... or even better, pretending to be some mysterious lover named "hansel" or "gretel".
