Get used to it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not a Torah perspective on love and intimacy.<\/p>\n<p>Kishke writes: &quot;Better question would be if there&rsquo;s more to sex than sex. Let&rsquo;s face it, w\/o a relationship that matters, it ain&rsquo;t much.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>As this site published a few months ago:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonion.com\/content\/news\/study_casual_sex_only_rewarding\">From The Jewish Press<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>ARLINGTON, VA&mdash;An alarming new study published in <em>Jewish Action<\/em> reveals that casual sex, the practice of engaging in frequent, spontaneous sexual encounters with new and exciting partners, may only provide unimaginable pleasure and heart-pounding exhilaration for, at most, 25 to 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;People who choose to participate in random, no-strings-attached lovemaking sessions with sexually adventurous strangers should be advised that this type of behavior is only incredibly liberating for the first quarter-century or so,&quot; said Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, executive vice-president of the Orthodox Union, who coauthored the study on the long-term side effects of living out one&rsquo;s wildest fantasies on a semi-weekly basis. &quot;Though sometimes it can be longer.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The study observed 100 sexually active volunteers who were not tied down by dull, passionless relationships and were therefore able to have sex with whomever they wanted, whenever they wanted. A control group of individuals who were married or had otherwise allowed their erogenous zones to fall into complete and utter numbness was also monitored for comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers found that those who regularly achieved mind-blowing orgasms without the expectation of commitment often experienced mild feelings of loneliness and a passing regret after as little as three decades of pure physical bliss free of emotional complication.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;There&rsquo;s a troubling number of adults who spend their prime sexual years in complete coital abandon, then have nothing to show for it but dozens upon dozens of highly detailed erotic memories,&quot; Rabbi Weinreb said. &quot;They must be so empty inside, one would think.&quot;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ByBNykpyTMo\">Here&#8217;s another cool interview I did on dating<\/a>. DeadBeatDad responds: &quot;Wow! This woman is SO articulate. I think she puts this better than anyone else I have ever heard. She isn&#8217;t just focused on what she wants but truly what it seems most women want in general and the frustrations and feelings both sexes deal with. Wish I could find her now, but she&#8217;s probably married with three kids. Great catch!&quot;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tRuUYepuPwA\">Ripley responds to my video on Shalhevet<\/a>: &quot;First of all mister&#8230;.we have structured lessons and learn about morals that will help guide us throughout life which in the end is a truly important factor. Secondly, who are you to talk about a school like this??? We can&#8217;t get away with whatever we want! The kids love the school because it creates a warm environment to learn in where you feel safe to express your opinions. Shalhevet is the best thing that happened to me and I love my school so who are you to say this???!!! GET A LIFE.  I go to Shalhevet and its not chaotic &#8230;.it&#8217;s actually a very well run school thank you very much!&quot;<\/p>\n<p><!--adsense--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A beautiful young virgin I interviewed in 1995 says on my video: &quot;I hate when guys are so into sex and can&#8217;t live without it.&quot; RabidDawg responds: Yeah well, I hate when a women isn&#8217;t into sex and can live &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/?p=2079\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[592,210],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2079","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles","category-dating"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2079","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2079"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2079\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2079"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2079"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lukeford.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2079"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
