"yes, the friend trap is something a lot of young men go through at high school and university, liking a girl, getting close to her and hoping for a relationship to grow out of the friendship, a classic mistake that men make, you end up being the brother at best or maybe even typecast as the gay confidant!"

Oh. My. God. I thought I was the only one. Holy crap.

Yeah I'm a senior in high school and I have about 10 of these "friends," all of whom I find rather attractive. I hate my life lol.


Anyway, to that survey:
What role do you think sex fills in a relationship?
I think it fills and important role as a way to consumate affection for each other, as a sort of... officializer if you will, a bit like moving in but not as far out of reach.
How do you feel about sex without love?
I think it happens... and that it's enjoyable lol. I also think that it is dangerous territory and that you can end up making someone feel like total crap if you aren't nice about it. This I know from experience.
Favorite sexual experience?
Two sisters at once... I won't say any more. I don't think I'll ever top that.
How do you feel about the role sex plays in society? I'm in Houston, Texas, and maybe it's just because I'm a teenager but honestly I think a lot of people are rather open about sex. Granted there are those who seem totally asexual but it's not as bad as those overseas might think, I imagine, though I could be wrong, as I have lived here all my life.

Anyway, yeah, I have an odd, odd, situation myself and any of you older types feel free to tell me what to do here...

As I said most of my best friends are girls... and they see me as nothing but a friend. However, it is probably these girls that I feel the most opposite sex affection for out of anyone I know, because I care about them etc. etc. But of course they only see me as a friends whereas I see them as that and much more. So that's a classic problem I guess... but it's juxtaposed with this:

Outside of school, whenever I make acquaintances and others things with girls I end up having a short fling with them that almost always turns sexual... and though I kept a lid on this secret about me at school for a long time it has got out this year and I have a reputation as a man-whore, pimp, what have you. And yet, with no one at school. So.... now I don't know what to do because I seem incapable of a long-term relationship; all I have ever done is hook-up and break the girl's heart. And my female friends all know this about me...

Maybe just wait a few months to graduate or what?

>what role do you think sex fills in a relationship?

Depends on the relationship. I don't tend to have sex with my boss, but that is a 'relationship'. In a 'dating'-type relationship... again, depends on the relationship. It can be an important component, but woe unto you if that's *all* you have in common, because sooner or later it isn't going to be enough.

>how do you feel about sex without love?

Not worth it, frankly. The sex can be fun, the drama afterwards, less fun. It's also a moot point for me at this juncture, of course, since I'm married and monogomous

>favorite sexual experience?

Nothing I need to scar you all with. ;)

Seriously, I'm past the "look at how studly I am by this story of That Thing I Did" bragging; and that's inevitably what these types of questions lead to.

>how do you feel about the role sex plays in society

I think it's pretty much no one's business what consenting adults do with each other, and that I don't have any right to inflict my morality on someone else.

That means I don't give a rat if you're having a huge orgy next door (as long as you don't have nonconsentual or minor participation) - but I also have a right not to be *exposed* to it if I don't want to, so keep it off the deck so I can grill burgers with my kid.

@Thucydides: I'm immensely jealous of your lifestyle....

As to the survey:
what role do you think sex fills in a relationship?
It is the ultimate goal of any relationship I enter into. Maybe that's a little shallow, but that's how I view it.
how do you feel about sex without love?
Great. Loving relationships don't need sex, and sexual relationships don't need love. It's a matter of what you want from that particular person.
favorite sexual experience?
I'll pass on that one, I'm not a braggart.
how do you feel about the role sex plays in society?
It plays too much of one. Does eating play this sort of role? no. Sleeping? no. Why should sex? It's just like any other life function.

I suggest that, if it is what you want, you give it some thought and decide who is the person you'd like to have a serious relationship with. From what you've written, it is likely a friend.

Then, be honest with her. Tell her that you feel your life is stagnant because you keep having these meaningless relationships and you want something more, and you think that you won't get it if you keep acting the way you do, and specially, if you keep seeing the kind of girl you've been seeing. Tell her that you need to be with someone that means more to you that just some ass (you might want to rephrase that), and that she is the person who means the most to you.

Make no promises. You both should know that the transition from friends to something else is a harsh one, and there should be the least hurt feelings possible if things go wrong.

Anyway, you asked for an advice, and I love giving them out, so there you go.

Josef Fritzl, from Amstetten in Austria, who was today convicted of the imprisonment and rape of his daughter. He fathered seven children with her, and one of those died shortly after birth so he was also convicted of the child's murder due to denying him proper medical care. He was also sentenced to life imprisonment - although he is first going to a psychiatric hospital to be assessed to work out just where he should spend that time.

Oh, he kept her and 3 of the children in what was basically a cell in the basement of the family home. The daughter was there for (I think) 24 years. And I'm not sure how this worked, but the other 3 surviving children lived upstairs with him and his wife (who didn't know anything).

there is no way that the daughter is only 24 when one of the kids she had is now 20 unless his daughter is a freakin giant and he managed to induce puberty at 4 years old
