I modestly propose a ban on ALL sexual relationships.
No official straight sex. No official gay sex. No bi sex.

Also no falling in love and wanting to share your life with someone. No civil contracts between consulting cohabiting adults to share property enforceable with OUR TAX DOLLARS.

If there's no sex, then there can't be a question of marriage

1. Marriage is about money, not sex.

22. Civil unions should not be restricted solely to sexual relationships
Some people want to set up housekeeping together without necessarily having to register with church or state as sex partners.

9. That's the kind of short-sighted...
thinking that got us into the messes we are in now. No plan to withdraw from Iraq, no looking ahead about the economy.

I'm old, but I always think ahead... not behind. Today was nice, but the next time will be just as good or better.

You One-Shot-Wonders need to look to the future.

'Scuse me, I see the spouse bent over dusting... catch you later.

10. I didn't think through the unintended consequences, but maybe
that's not such a bad outcome.

Why do I think this thread is destined to be locked or sent to the Lounge?

13. Because a no sex thread is still a sex thread?
"Dear Forum,

I'm not having hot and crazy imaginative sex that couldn't have possibly happened to someone like me, but I'm writing anyway

signed,

Won't even happen in my wildest dreams"

14. No sheep, goats or "man on dog" Santurum either
Also the repug politician who talked about how all farmers screw their animals -- his behavior would be banned too.

18. If they want to stop gay sex, they should require gay marriage-if M/F marriage is any indication

20. I once read: "Unconditional love? I can't even get unconditional like"
It was in a letters to the editor column of Harpers or Atlantic, about some review or something about marriage, and how it is based on "unconditional love."

Some guy wrote in and said, "Marriage is about unconditional love? In my marriage, I can't even get unconditional like."

:rofl:

24. Works for me.
I've been celibate for the last 12 years and plan on staying that way. The amount of energy one saves for more valuable pursuits is very useful. Of course, I'm over 60 now; can the rest of you hack it?
