wetfishdesigns @recreate so our husband buys us a new washing machine
jan_lynn @recreate At core, the ultra-pleasure of sex is to bind 2 people together, to raise and protect their children.
hughdeburgh @recreate We have sex for the same reason we eat when we aren’t starving – to satisfy an instinctive drive and to achieve momentary pleasure
edwinwallace They keep trying the method of cutting off arms, but people just won’t grow from them. RT @DustyReins @recreate: “Why do we have sex?”
DustyReins Too much info 4 140 characters!
kjerstia @recreate RT @pansom: @kjerstia Because it is fun!
anonymous @recreate I *use to* to have sex because it gave me a feeling of being loved even if I knew in my heart that it wasnt authentic love. going with out for so long I do not even want or desire it (sex) anymore and find I feel the same about love…Prob not what ur looking for but it was my thought process after reading your tweet =8)
another anonymous DM “its the most intimate time when two souls mingle with 1 another;the closest we’ll get to the community God experiences in Himself”
and yet another anonymous DM “Because it feels good. And it’s the closest you’ll ever feel to someone.”
hughdeburgh @recreate Sex also is utilized to help us emotionally (and chemically) bond to our chosen mate.
codyboardman @recreate I’d say a) because we like it b) it’s the closest two people can get to each other physically, emotionally and spiritually.
Flyfatguy @recreate lust/attraction as to why we have sex..strictly for procreation is waaaaaay in the past
hughdeburgh @recreate Sex has a very complex relationship with our human psyche because it is essentially instinctive.
hughdeburgh @recreate Humans often have problems admitting that a great deal of what defines us is essentially our animal drives.
BobHolmes @recreate Animal Drive-Lust, Creative Drive- Love, Need, To end the feeling of seperation , Yes, Commitment.
BobHolmes @recreate Randy, It’s unique as the fingerprint and changes with time. It morfs. Then again, Habit, It’s Tuesday Night and it’s scheduled.
Anonymous DM @recreate Because it is all I have thought about since I was about 12 years old. Boobs and Vaginas are meserizing…. period.
Anonymous DM @recreate I had a counselor remind me that fight/flight mechanism has two others – freeze/fornicate: makes it a physical response to stress; pt 1
Anonymous DM @recreate Not sure cuz i’ve never had sex, but I think it’s to express and experience intimacy.
Anonymous DM @recreate “depends on the moment. power, satisfaction of known or unknown craving, desire for intimacy, etc”
Anonymous DM “Sex is also about forging deeper bonds. But, I admit it is often just for the “release” of endorphins. All in all it leads to better health”
smithwords @recreate for fun and profit.
LeeandBaz @recreate because we are designed too have it and we are designed to have fun too!!
SheilaWalsh RT @recreate: I’m really asking for your answers. “Why do we have sex?” Talk to me, O Tweets. Because there’s nothing good on TV
anonymous DM “to glorify God and have fun all at the same time!”
sensuouswife Why do we have sex? To bind our spirit soul and body all together with our mate’s spirit soul & body @recreate
Synoiz @recreate I think we have sex because we believe it’s the best way to show affection, to have something we only share with a select few
sensuouswife Why do we have sex? Because we are horny. @recreate
sensuouswife Why do we have sex? Because sometimes words fail us. @recreate
sensuouswife Why do we have sex? Because when our brain is exhausted, our skin can still speak. @recreate
Anonymous DM Why have sex? Best: to engage with lover in exceptionally intimate way that exposes equal vulnerability, but should yield equal pleasure
Anonymous DM Why have sex? Worst: to use a person for personal pleasure, either physical or, worst of all, mental (a pleasure of sexploitation=pure evil)
sensuouswife Why do we have sex? Because the sweaty unladylikeness of sex unlocks something in the feminine heart that needs to be loosed. @recreate
emmcd in a world where we communicate via texts and tweets, sex provides sorely lacking intimacy. Allows us 2 b “in the moment.”
wetfishdesigns RT @flowerscrap: @recreate To let my DH know how much i love him, and to make him feel good 
– oh yaeh and i rather enjoy it too!
reidklos I had sex as a means of payment 4 companionship, attention, affection, protection, and/or security @recreate
chrisrader615 @recreate pleasure, procreation, addiction, attention
Sheeve @recreate Sex enhances love. When two people truly love each other have a desire to give him or her pleasure.….
williamPriceIII @recreate read the books Brain Sex, Heaven’s Song and Man & Woman He Created Them. Lots of insight- theological, biological, sociological
Jessica9580 @recreate well, bec. its a part of our biological built, it makes you really feel good, like an exercise for your body and
Jessica9580 @recreate a good means to share yourself with someone you love or like….
BridgetArbonne @recreate RT @gemwat18: for me it feels good, takes large amounts of stress, its also loads of fun, makes u feel loved, n appreciated – 4u!
glennlavender @recreate my favorite response – “To end the feeling of separation” – this almost brings me to tears
larissakemp @recreate oneness – no matter my differences w/my husband, at the end of the day we are one mind one body with one goal.
anonymous DM @recreate I also think we have sex to please…most of the enjoyment of sex is from pleasing the lady.. If ya follow me.
anonymous DM @recreate Being in love, I now have sex to fully embrace intimacy. Before being in love, I had sex as a subtitute for intimacy.
LuanneIPC @recreate;Full intimacy,unity & satisfaction if we are blessed!!
JeffWofford @recreate Connection=relationship. Affirmation: self-esteem, self-identity are closely related to sex, thus porn’s self-abasing aspect.
Anonymous DM @recreate Sex is foremost a means of communication, independent of words, with a vocabulary all its own that stands as a sacred force of passion.
anonymous DM Why?” because it’s fun!! Procreation is just a common side effect. God knew we’d prociste if he made it a blast!
susiemanning @recreate Sex is for the absolute pleasure of enjoying and showing love of one’s or another’s body; but heard sex is 95% from the neck up.
Because it’s fun!
Why have sex? only because my husband needs it. Nothing in it for me. If I wasn’t married, wouldn’t miss it.
Thank you Randy for asking this question. It stirred me.
Anonymous, your comment broke my heart. Hugs to you darlin. You are not alone. I believe there are thousands of women who feel just like you in America. My passion is helping you and thousands of women like you connect to their sexual selves. It can get better. Really.
God made us, male and female, giver and receiver (as both should be), in His image. A “third person” of ecstasy is manifested in the union, the more so as both partners learn to give freely of themselves for the other’s pleasure, and receive of each other for the other’s sake. This is an extension of the “lower trinity” of the Creation itself, as God and both sexes of Adam give to and enjoy one another freely, so that human sexuality becomes, in this fallen world, a grasping after the unity and ecstasy which was once the birthright of all mankind. Maximos the Confessor wrote that mankind is created not for himself or for a merely rational existence but for ecstasy- to be beside, or outside oneself for Another. If we are ecstatic upwardly for God, then we become fully human, in His likeness. If we reach for a lower, selfish, ecstasy, then we become not less than human, but less than the animals who fulfill their own purpose by instinct, of which we have none. In this view, sex puts us on a narrow fence, whether to fall to the side of godly self-giving, or perverse self-seeking.
I’m not sure except that God created it. It was His idea. I’m sure glad I get to participate every now and then. It’s my favorite thing to do. You have to have a willing partner though. Sometimes I willing more than she is.
I think sex goes through phases in a marriage/relationship, especially when children are factored into the equation/bedroom. Procreation in itself will make or break your sex life. Scheduling times to have sex is not romantic. Nor is it romantic to rush through passion to avoid curious toddlers asking awkward questions in public. Having gone through years of infertility, being told I’d never have children (now I have two), also drains the passion, the sensuality and the closeness. A lot of women these days seem to be having children later in life and face feritlity issues. 5 years of that was enough for me to not want to have sex for the rest of my life. In this situation, the idea that sex is procreation becomes too much of the focus and the end result, unfortunately, is a woman seeing sex as a means of “bringing on the failure” every month when procreation does not occur. And no one wants to feel like a failure, especially at something they were created to do by God. So after going through 5 years of failed expensive infertility treatments if you had asked me this question I would say “I don’t have sex.” Now, with two little ones (miracles 1 &2 ) you ask me that question and I say “I don’t have sex. I have children.” It’s a vicious cycle. Hope this helps because I think the procreation aspect is a big issue.
I would say that most of the time sex is to fulfill a physical need, of course to produce more of Gods creation but when done in the right frame of mind is a form of worship.
