Oh they do? You just happen to know this? Hmmm, I must have hallucinated not feeling "empty" back when I'd sleep around. Who knew? 
It might not bother you, sure, what would it mean to a loved one.
You were referring to yourself. I think love is more real when the individual is thinking about the other.
If it is just as casual as a handshake, I would say it is difficult to find meaning.

Whoever said that sex without the context of a relationship has to be casual like a handshake, or that during the intercourse one doesn't think about the other? Jeez, you must have had some bad strange.

Give you an example:
Let's say two Enlightened Beings are in love and they live in Paradise; then they both decide to examine each other's Life Reviews...
They were in love and then they examined their last incarnation and they wonder what the difference is between any of the individuals they knew before and perhaps something is lost upon the examination...

A relationship can be special to the individuals involved because of the uniqueness of their shared experience.
Those who have "been around" seem jaded...

i'm not proud to be a virgin, i'm not upset being a virgin.
i think there is some ups to it though, such as... i don't crave intimacy or sex, because i've gone so long without sex that it doesn't really cross my mind that i "should be" lookin' out to get laid.
it does, however, cross my mind that it'd ultimately be a good thing for me to get laid though, but not enough so that i strive to look towards sex as some kind of means to an end. i'd just simply feel good to be intimate with another, otherwise, what'd be the point?
but though that is true, i don't feel compelled to make a big deal out of it for myself, because i have alot of other interests that i can indulge in.

I consider it commendable and even Virtuous to abstain. It shows much discipline in a world that is often wantonly hedonistic.

I look very Jewish sometimes when I grin, I have my suspicions. Definitely something non-Caucasian wandered into the mix at some stage in my family tree.

This is somewhat a respectable position but if you're a healthy person with lots of vitality then you see hot chicks and feel amazing feelings, and you sort of understand why the culture gives people who don't dive into that a hard time.

Looking Jewish does not mean non-Caucasian (from Caucasus region) since Caucasian means 'white or European.' My parents were culturally Jewish, and 3/4 of my grandparents came from Romanian (and probably, but denied), Germany. Eastern European peasant stock has resulted in non-Semitic 'Jewish looks' in the US an elsewhere.

Uh, no. In fact, phenomenologically speaking, YHVH and the Father of the NT don't even look related! Hence the Gnostic Demiurge idea. But Yeshua (Joshua, Iesous, Isa) was a man for whom the author John was 'God clothed with flesh,' in a Hellenistic, demigod kind of way. For Mark, and Matthew and Luke who borrowed from Mark, thought of Jesus as 'a man anointed by God.' HUGE difference in Reality here. The Talmud says that Jesus was a magician (and a mamser [bastard]), the Qur'an says that Jesus was a prophet, certain Hindus think Jesus was an avatar, and some Buddhists see Jesus as a Bodhisattva. Meanwhile, some Gnostic thinkers like Tim Freke and Peter Gandy (along with theologian-physician Albert Schweitzer) think Jesus was never a single historical man but a literary composite of different wisdom teachers.

I suppose copulation supported by our biological drives makes it seem emotional and special.
I hope with the limited energy and economic system inter grated with human reproductive emotional necessity is met by exceptional anal technological advances.

Penelope_Tree said: Some philosophical dude once said something like, "If monkeys drank beer and experienced a hangover, they'd never touch beer again. Humans, on the other hand..." If it had only happened one time, I could chalk it up to bad luck, bad person, etc.. but the repeat offenses make it seem as if the problem was primarily my behavior. IDK. I get it - that still doesn't excuse the other party. I just feel stupid and like I contributed to the situation. Glad to be out of that period in my life.
Usually there are at least two aspects to what happens to us, and to how we are formed as people. Our environments and ourselves. My wife thinks I am very lazy with housework, and she is probably right. As a child I never had to do any housework, because my dad always did everything for me. Because of that I think I developed to become a rather lazy person myself. But should I really blame my kind dad for my current laziness? I could, but I think it is better to blame myself. When we blame ourselves we have the possibility to improve ourselves. If we always blame other people, we see no reason to improve ourselves.
Rape is a horrible thing, but getting super drunk might also be somewhat irresponsible, especially if you can't take care of yourself in that state. The world if full of stupid and/or evil people. There is nothing we can do about that. We can however act more responsible ourselves, so that we don't get ourselves into trouble with all these stupid and/or evil people.
