Now, this is all theoretical here, but, if men and women couldn't have sex, as if there was no such thing as intercourse, sex drives and sexual tension were non-existent, do you think that we would still hang out?
Do men and women really have THAT much in common that we would all still spend time together if sex was out of the equation?
For those couple of people that are just going to bypass the true purpose of this message to tell me that if it was true then I wouldn't exist and blabetty bla, you're missing the purpose of this!
Think about this whole idea, and how different the world would be today!
Now, I want to hear everyone's opinions on this. Do ya'll still think that people would still get married? Would everyone just live with the same sex or would everything be co-ed? Would that even eliminate the need to have separate bathrooms since we don't have interest in the opposite sex? (Privacy still a factor obviously) Would we still go to the bars to socialize or spend all of our time watching football or getting our hair done?

I know there are friends i have who are guys (I'm a girl) and we would hang out either way.
So what you're saying is, if nobody had sex, would we still spend time together as a couple?
I think most people would say yes.
Isn't that called marriage?
All joking aside, I hate these "If you didn't want to fuck, would men/women still hang?" questions. Duh. We would. I have plenty of male friends who I love hanging out with, who I have no desire to bone.
Even now with sex existing, some people have purely romantic relationships. Sex and romance aren't always synonymous so I do believe that even without sex, some people would still seek romantic relationships.
Also, I have friends, both male and female. Last time I checked, we haven't fucked, and we still hang around. There aren't even promises of sex and we still hang with each other. Sex isn't involved in every single relationship.
there's still cuddling
This is absurb. What is the point of a union if we cannot pro-create? Sure there are couples out there who don't want kids but I would think A LOT less people would get married if pro-creation was not possible. And no I surely would not hang out and do all the nice stuff coz we wouldn't get getting any. No sex = why should I attend pottery class with you? Go shopping? nah. Cook for you? Hell no. Do the laundry? What are you going to threaten me with? We already don't have sex. So I DO see some benefits of having no sex at all because women can't threaten us anymore like they always do when they get angry
if there is no physical attraction between opposite sexes, i think boys and girls would still hang out. sex is not everything. you could still develop emotional attachments with someone of either sex without physical attraction or sex.
Yes. Plenty of people fall in love without having sex first. People fall in love even if they aren't really physically attracted to the other person.
and I would still get my hair done. I don't do my hair so guys will like it, I do it so I think it looks good.
Sexuality is one thing, but at birth, (minus the presence of certain respective gonads), the female and male bodies really aren't that different before puberty.
If you're saying "If the sex hormones were all the same - there was no testosterone or estrogen, but a hybrid of sorts", then I think everyone would probably end up androgynous.
it would be boring to sit there with this on-going staring contest
because I don't have that much in common with guys since I like a lot of girly things. most of my friends are girls. I cannot relate to guys. I'd still doll myself up because I mainly doll myself up to make catty girls jealous, not just to attract guys. no sexual tension is good though because then some people might start to think logically instead of irrationally with their genitalia Lol
I think so, since both genders have a curiosity for those of the opposite gender through simple differences the other one has. It's the same way with friendship.
Uh...yes? Sex =/= Relationship/friendship with a member of the opposite sex.
Nope.
Three things are required in life. 1. Consumption. 2. Sleep. 3. Sex.
I have no idea! I do know that the world would be a hell of a lot more boring without sexual tension, intercourse, or anything like that, though!
sex isn't the first or last thing.
Wow, I don't think so...
Without intercourse how would we exist you gotta have sex to reproduce. Well i guess there IS the sperm bank...but wheres the fun in that ;)
The great thing about the internet is (mostly) that people won't know your gender unless you choose to reveal it.
But hmm. How would one be able to masturbate?
I think so. Sex isn't everything. Plus, there's cuddling :D
Sex drive is why we still exist as a species...so you can't ask us to imagine. :]
well, i probably wouldn't have a lot of the guy friends i have now that initially pursued me, but i really do like my platonic relationships i have.
Its called friendship! Men and women would hang out, they would call it friendship! Friends 4 Eva! Marriage should be a deeper sharing of your friendship and not a sexless, moping around of two people binded together forever...Friends find things to do together to spark the fire in their friendship again. You can't just look at one side. Anyway, thanks for letting me write on your board!
What kind of stupid question is this. Apart from tradition, there is no reason to see the sexes as opposites and no reason to suggest that they are not compatable in a vast number of ways, establishing a great many connections (physical-sexual removed). Genetic differences account for about 5-7% of the differences between the sexes and the rest is just cultural. If sex was removed from the equation, I argue we'd see more opposite-sex friendships. Partnerships... about the same as now, maybe a few less. There are other reasons for why one establishes a life-long bond with one other individual aside from sex.
"Do men and women really have THAT much in common that we would all still spend time together if sex was out of the equation?"
To be honest, this just makes me angry.
