I agree yet disagree with Batya and ramsickle.

First, yes, what distinguishes a really intense but platonic friendship between a man and a woman (or whatever is your sexual preference is) is sex. So, I see what your point is ramsickle.

On the other side of it is that a good relationship is founded on MUCH more than sex. In fact, a relationship can thrive and blossom without sex. (I would argue, however, that sex is present in the lust and infatuation that accompanies romantic interest.) I think Batya is trying to say something like that.

I can say that, once in a relationship, sex is important. Its intimacy is beyond friendship, and if it goes missing from a relationship, you will definitely feel it and know something is missing.

Okay, I will stop... discuss!

On edit: Nevermind.

Ghost,

Saw someone say that on this thread, I forget who. But it's true -- lots of people still think tattoos, in general, are trashy.

Oh please -- people still think others with tattoos are "trash"?

I love tattoos -- I think they are sexy. I don't like the "sleeve" ones that cover the whole arms though. I would never, however, judge someone as "trash" or uneducated just because they had tattoos.

I have two tattoos myself -- had them for years and I don't regret them yet.

Gosh, Jaded, you have guys writing poetry about you....

I liked it.
