(16,191 posts)But I've always found that half the fun of sex is the joy of giving them to others. Making people happy is a lot of fun.
My wife and I have had an open marriage for a decade, so neither of us has any hangups about sex. Some people get a thrill out of having fun with new people. Others don't. People should live their lives in whatever way makes them happy.
Life is fraught with risk. I spent a good chunk of my 20's climbing mountains, one slipped finger away from death or serious injury. I fly fish, often spending my days waist deep in fast flowing water that can sweep me away with one misstep. I still kayak when time allows, where I whiz past countless thousands of boulders...each hoping beyond hope for an opportunity to bash my brains in. I ride a bicycle in San Francisco, where many drivers see screwing with bicyclists as a sport.
Life is full of risks. There's nothing wrong with choosing to avoid them, but some of us are willing to accept a bit of risk in order to live the lives we want. My perspectives on sex are simply an extension of that same mindset.
