Give Me Love, or Give Me Death?
In today's oversexualized culture, it's not unusual for people to know Victoria's Secret popular slogan "Give Me Sexy". But since when has "Give Me Sexy" become more important to us than "Give Me Love"?
The phrase has got me thinking, where did the love go? Since when has our vision become so clouded that we are unable to see what's really important? Love. Has our generation, in fact, become (dare I say it?) romance intolerant?
Realistically, are most people more interested in sex or love?

I'd take love over sex anyday.
I think it's not too different from what it's always been... Just that nowadays, the people who are only interested in sex are more open about it than they used to be.
Worry not, I know plenty of people who are still more interested in love than sex.
I think it's an even split, especially since someone can be interested in both at the same time. There are people who're interested in love, then there are people who're interested in sex (sexiness?) -- then, after that, there are people who like both. Most people who're in love do have sex at some point, after all.
i love love. and i love sex. but when there's no sex from love, then i'm not happy.
I think VS slogan were meant for the kind of clothing line that they sell.. sexy lingerie, sexy bras, sexy panties, sexy thongs, etc. Of course there are a lot of people who's interested in love yet some are just interested in having sex or random one night stands. I think without love, our world would be pretty shitty.
Having both is the ideal! ^^
As of 2009, obviously more people are having casual sex than let's say 20-30 years ago and prior. However, I do think that you can be sexy while being in love and romantic. There's a fine line between sleazy and sexy, if you ask me.
I'm all for love over sex, though I probably blog like all I care about is sex. Honestly I only do it when I'm in love with somebody... and there is always one person I can't get over for years that I talk about sex with constantly. Does that make sense?
But sadly I think most of the world is hung up on sex. The hopeless romantics of xanga give me faith on a daily basis in the other side of the spectrum.
I'm a guy and I'd take love over sex any day as well... hopefully there will be some sex with the love. I'm not interested in sex without love.
It's more acceptable now to have sex without romance, but sex doesn't really replace romance. They're two different categories, and people choose which one they want depending on the stage they're in. Ew, I used a preposition at the end of a sentence... Haha, anyway. As for my personal choice, I'd take romance, but not hard-core, dramatic romance. Just something light, fun, and full of chemistry. =] Whoo.
I can live my life without sex, but I can never live a day without love.
Our culture is becoming more open and comfortable with sex. It doesn't mean we value love any less- most people have just learned how to differentiate between the two.
Personally, I can't and won't have sex without love- which is a major reason why I'm still a virgin. Yea, sex is awesome and I know I'm gonna love it- but to me love is even more important.
@Olyachka@xanga - Agreed.
@brokenheartedboi@xanga - Also agreed. Except I'm a girl. But I was just having a conversation about that with a friend of mine. Sex would be nice, but I'd rather have the love.
I can't have both? I like sexy love :) I really enjoy sex when I'm really truly in love with my guy.
I'd prefer Love..
but sex is what's good now a days..
I'm abstinent so really..I don't care
personally, I am suuuch a romantic. I love romance! :D
hahaha, love over sex. most people I know (we're teenagers) would prefer love over sex as well.
plus, I think that no matter how much sex a person has, and it makes them feel 'loved' because of their body or whatever, they still crave real love inside.
We all know what sex is, but none of us can pretend to know what Love is. So that's why sex always wins.
I like love and I like sex, but there has to be love for sex to be good.
So definitely love is more important.
It depends..both are cool..both are necessary but men usually connotate or can fall for that person more with the physical aspect of it.
im ok with both but to me reality kills love. love is nice, it makes us happy and giddy but when reality kicks in it kicks in. people who are "in love" get married and often times that love can end up in divorce (while sex can end up in having a baby or worse) ok maybe that was a bad metaphor...
if love happens it happens if not it doesnt but you can always have sexy :)
i think people go for sex 'cause there's no committing. ie. one night stands?
i prefer love :)
I think it's not uncommon for young people to love sex more, moving from partner to partner, but eventually everyone just wants that one person who will always be there.
Both but, I honestly think guys are more into sex. I preferred love and everything that goes with falling romantically in love.
