Armenians and sex: what's your opinion?

Re: Armenians and sex: what's your opinion?

So now sex isn't that important but you need to test drive because you don't want to get stuck with it for the rest of your life. The reason North American men cheat is because their wives don't want to engage in sex anymore but some how they were eager up until marriage and during their youth. So the American guy that busts his butt for a career gets stuck marrying a cold fish which ends up in divorce. Nice reward.

There are many things in life that are not horribly important to me yet I still pick the good ones. Like I go to the supermarket and buy apples. Each individual apple is fairly irrelevant in the big picture of my life but I still look at them, examine them, and pick the good ones. Whey buying juice, I read the labels. My life wont be devastated if I got the wrong juice but I still like to make informed decisions. Again, just to stress I am not comparing women to apples and juice or cars. I am saying ANY decision you make in life should be an informed one. ESPECIALLY if you are deciding on a mate for life!

Sip's original message dates back to 2008.
Since then, he has expanded his garage and, as a result, his philosophical horizons
(still not to a point of reaching transcendence)
now he can afford to be sentimental about his vintage cars (which have have failed to keep all their promises) and keep them alongside the newer, better performing "rides".

That is pretty insightful!

It is surreal to me

well you should be grateful to be able to live such an experience.
this forum is in itself a surrealist piece of art.
it could be part of a contemporary installment.
i see much narrow-mindedness (in fact almost reactionary inspiration) in your approach to such avant-garde.
maybe the enlightened westerner is not ready for that yet despite his/her ability to marvel at the following type of creations.




the work of art has to be put in the proper setting for everyone to appreciate it.

and speaking of garage, who knows, Daria Zhukova's Гараж ( http://www.garageccc.com/eng/ ) might be more receptive.



let me add some quote to make me sound deeper...

Those who wish to take the world and control it
I see that they cannot succeed
The world is a sacred instrument
One cannot control it
The one who controls it will fail
The one who grasps it will lose



Those who know do not talk
Those who talk do not know

Re: Armenians and sex: what's your opinion?

It is surreal to me that any man living in a western country at this stage in history still feels that they are in the right when it comes to making judgments and pronouncements on what any woman (or any other man, for that matter) is allowed to do with their own bodies and sexuality.

You can do what you want with your body, just don't expect me to pay for it with universal health insurance. In fact, the quicker they make people pay outrageous health care costs, the quicker society will heal itself from the poor life choices and decisions people make because they are taken care of by nanny states.

Re: Armenians and sex: what's your opinion?

I feel again I need to clarify something about the car statement. For the record, I personally don't think sex is really that important in long term committed relationships..

Are you sure? I think it's important in a long-term relationship. But you kind of contradict yourself here, you first stressed on the importance of one's sexual performance (so you don't get stuck with a lifetime…) before establishing a long life relationship then here you say it's not that important in long-term committed relationship?

I would hope so too but unfortunately he showed many times that he couldn't keep himself from personally insulting people over and over and that just takes away from the quality of discussion no matter what the topic.

I feel again I need to clarify something about the car statement. For the record, I personally don't think sex is really that important in long term committed relationships. I think traditional views place far far faaaar too much emphasis on sex. They make sex be the central issue. They command you not to have sex until marriage and they make it seem like this holy ridiculously overvalued thing to be cherished, worshiped, feared, etc. My personal views on sex are far more relaxed. I do not advocate humping like animals at random occasions but I also think artificially holding out or abstaining from this natural part of human behavior or placing too much emphasis on sex is not very healthy for young adults.

That's why I don't think marriage should be centered around virginity. That just glorifies sex and makes it appear to be the most important issue in life and it just really ain't that important really if you ask me.

I hope Levon would be unbanned to respond to Sip's comments, the two represent the very opposite sides (regarding this issue) and it's interesting.
