The purpose of my life is sex?

When I think about what would make my life the best, I find myself thinking that it's having sex regularly with someone I'm in love with. Somewhat confirming this, I used to have a girlfriend that I had amazing sex with regularly. I literally couldn't/can't believe it was actually real. I told her I felt like I was in a dream.

Yet, I don't think this goal, either unobtained or obtained, can withstand life's inevitable tragedy. If I never obtain it, then I will go through life feeling like I have missed the mark. If I do obtain it, I think it's likely, for a myriad of reasons, that it eventually won't satisfy me.

Some scenarios that I think are very likely: After some time, the liveliness of the sex will die down. If my partner is aware that my purpose in life is a relationship with them, they will likely feel a tremendous burden. What's even more frightening is that there's a great chance that the relationship could end in a real catastrophe, like divorce. In that case, the pain would very likely eclipse all the pleasure that came before.

People don't see me as an epicurean. I eat healthy, exercise, read books, am considered intelligent and kind, moral, etc. I truly care about bigger things. I want to see the world become a better place for everyone. I want to learn more about how things work and who we are as humans. I'm partly wholesome, and that part feels sick and worried about the fact that my ruling drive is for sex.

    I also like sex a lot. I like to talk about sex, think about sex and having sex. This is just part of you.

    I might have been half-ass in agreement with you a long time ago, but honestly I don't think that sex is everything, and, yes, divorce is HELL!

    For me the meaning of life is perhaps to do the next right thing.

      Sex is a nice and intimate thing though.

        With the right person, and under the right circumstances it is.

          Agreed.

          People nowadays, and especially degenerates on this site pretend to have sex on a daily basis with a different stranger every day. It's like everyone suddenly has gangbangs inbetween picking up kids and buying groceries.

          You know Jen right? Pretty sure it's a sex obsessed dude pretending to be a girl. No actual woman is so obsessed with sex.

          I like gossiping sometimes.

              And I appreciate that.

              I was hoping that on a site like this with complete anonymity based around people's stories and whether or not they are normal, they would drop the social media bragging and faking attitude and would just be honest about... well, everything.

              It's a shame that isn't the case, and more often than not IIN is more of an "Look at this cool story I wrote am I cool now?" site, or a site where people write their erotic fantasies than a site where people get to find out whether their experiences or feelings are abnormal or not.

    • How long ago? How old woudld you have been?

      Why is divorce hell?

      What do you mean: "next right thing"? Particularly, what do you mean "next"?

        I would say I might half-ass agree with you from early to mid 2008, and backward until maybe 1989 or 1990.

        Divorce is Hell, because no one enjoys paying a lawyer thousands of dollars to go through a legal process around ending a relationship, and still having to come out heartbroken, and broke ass on the other side.

        The next right thing for me is doing the next right thing whether that be jogging for a couple of miles, going to Mass at my local Catholic church, taking my cat to the vet when he needs it, helping my elderly parents with whatever they need help with, ect. Doing the next right thing is basically taking care of business, and trying to do so in a healthy, non-selfish way.

        • I see. What changed about you desiring sex with a romantic partner?

          Also, have you ever questioned what gives your life meaning as a whole? It sounds like you are thinking day to day

            I just don't need to have sex with a partner outside of a loving monogamous, long term, committed relationship. I'm currently single, and not in a hurry to find anyone. I don't think sex is the meaning of life. You're free to think what you want, but I'm not picking up what you're putting down.

            My relationship to God, quality time with a feline companion and reading words of the trolls who do it for the lols are what gives my life meaning. Some things in my life are carved into my bones, and other things are day by day.

            • Excuse me, I didn't put anything down in the manner you're implying. I never said that I thought sex was *the meaning of life*, which would be an objective claim about what would constitute meaning for everyone. I said I *found* myself *thinking* it was the best life could offer me (different from flat out believing and having justified reasons for), "my purpose" (posed as a question), and that I had serious reservations about those feelings.

              How does your relationship with God give your life meaning as a whole? Is your relationship from God related to: "doing the next right thing"?

        Oh, you're not Hans. My bad, I apologise.

        I did think the writing was a tad too coherent for him.
