Lust, sex, random thought

[Losty]

God gave us love, lust, sexual desire and feelings.  He also lays out a responsible and acceptable outlet for those emotions.

I have heard sex compared to fire.  Fire in the oven or fireplace will keep you warm or bake your cheesecake. Let it out and it will burn down your house.  

Sexual promiscuity and the like have led to all manner of death and destruction and social collapse.  If people kept sex monogamous and within the institution of marriage, the world would be much better off.

Before everyone jumps in and starts saying casual sex between consenting adults is perfectly ok and no harm comes from it.  I will raise the BS flag now. I doubt those people have daughters (and mothers, but even Hitler had a mom) and want them to be sexually promiscuous town sluts, with a dozen children from a dozen men.  Which can and would happen regardless of precautions or such.   You don't need me to say this is wrong and immoral.  

Was going to post this on anther thread but decided to make it one.

Apart from the god bit of the post, I sort of agree that the world might be better off in monogamous relationships and in 2 parent family house holds.

A lot of communities with 1 parent single mother house holds fail, not as a rule just an overall tendency.
Females tend to be more promiscuous without a father figure and men have no male role model.
Plus there's usually some dependence on welfare.

I've seen videos online that theorize that the root cause of events like the Milwaukee riots has nothing to do with race but everything to do with culture and single mothers trying to unsuccessfully raise bored, young jobless men who are in turn also not getting married or settling down.
Milwaukee is very very statistically high in the rates of births outside of marriage, I think possibly the highest in America or one of the highest.

I say all this as someone who has a daughter and I'm not with her mother anymore.
The situation just isn't ideal.
I give her money but I don't have enough money to save for my own house mortgage and buy her and my daughter a house aswell as my own, I think for most people that's the case in that they won't have that much money.
If we were together then we could pool our resources, easily buy a house and she would also get to spend more time with our child instead of going out to work herself.

I've resigned myself to thinking this is just the way my situation is now and all I can do is not be absent as much as possible despite long work hours and not living with my daughter.


Just to point something out though, it's totally understandable as to why people aren't completely monogamous through their life at least to a certain extent, it takes time to realise what makes you happy sexually, staying with the first person you have sex with forever might not necessarily be ideal either.

The problem is that it's not actually a feasible option. Human beings are all about convenience and being in monogamous marriages is super convenient for parents. If it was something that could work for everyone it'd already be happening.

The single parent thing is hard for me because, as a single parent, I know how difficult it is. I don't want to be judgemental. At the same time I work my ass off to give my kids what I consider to be a better life than what they'd have had had I stayed married. I work really hard to provide for my family, and I don't just mean at a job but also all the extra work that comes with being a good parent when I come home even if I'm too tired I just do it anyways. I feel like everyone should be doing this. I'm sure I lucked out with more opportunities than some single parents but some are also just too lazy and selfish to put forth the effort. It's very annoying.

Hmm...this probably became an OT rant. O_O

Back to the sinfulness people!!
