Reply #10: Depends on the relationship. Some center totally around sex. [View All]

They don't usually last longer than a few months. The other kind, which include friendship, compassion, dog walking, putting down toilet seats, ignoring underoos and socks all over the floor, don't center around sex, although it's often still a nice big part of it. There is no difference there, either way, between gay or straight relationships.

The odd thing is, the average orgasm last anywhere between 3-9 seconds. So if you take 5 as the average, at an average of 4 times a week, over a period of say, between 16 and 80, the end result of time spent on attaining the little death, is less than ONE DAY out of a lifetime. I realize that the getting there is a big part of it, so even if you tack on time for that, total time spent on having sex probably accounts for about a year out of a person's long life. And THIS is what fundies obsess over endlessly. Because a book tells them to. Some, of course, have their own homosexual fantasies, which incites fear and projection of self-loathing.
