At What Age Did You Begin To Understand Love Is Not All About Sex And Marriage?

[anon1903]

Me? I'd say sixteen. I'd slightly vulgar view towards relationships until my cousin got married.

[Ianto]

Love is a polyvalent term in English. I love my kids. I love my grandkids so much I feel like I'll burst. That is a different love from that for a partner, although some aspects are similar (e. g. the profound awe of their beauty). With a partner, love is probably about sex, but not only sex, as that would just be lust. Marriage is a social contract to formalize cooperation, it needn't have anything to do with love.

I'd say at about 19 when I found out the woman I married at 18 had been cheating on me and doing drugs since we were about 17. That kind of soured things.

Come around to marriage two, you figure out love is hard work, marriage can be part of that, but sex definitely is.

If it's not about sex or marriage what is it about then? Love typically leads to marriage so I'm a bit baffled.

[anon1903]

I'm not an expert on the topic but relatinships mainly highlights mutual trust and faith, compatibility and companionship and imao marriage is optional.

[jeemm]

I trust my sister and my friends but it doesn't mean I'm in a relationship with them. Relationships are about sharing lives together that includes intimacy. Trust is a part of it sure but relationships can't be purely trust.

[anon1903]

I'm talking about romantic relationships here. Sorry for the confusion.

[beebella]

I still don't understand what love is all about. 💁

[JackSmy]

Really? Seems that most don't really 'get it' until after at least a few bad relationships, and at least one divorce.
Maybe you are asking a different question. . .

[WarningWarning]

Still learning

[WhiteShoulder]

Still haven’t gotten there lol

[anon1903]

Hahahaha : D

[ItsTheNephilim]

Around 12-13. Seen a lot of bad examples. Marriage is such a nightmare.

[Agape93]

Actually understand, around 17

[Dargil]

Never. It IS about sex, marriage and family. Everything else is a constantly changing mirage.

[Aiasis]

At 1 years old.

[Kezzz]

At about 15 I began to become curious and then I learnt all about it in the following years.

[VisibleMan]

17 maybe 15

[Physics-Man]

Since I was 9 or so.

[GreenGold1992]

age 18

[bklynbadboy1]

About 17

[JackLatin]

I'd say 17 which is probably surprising for a guy. Oftentimes, like all the others I still find myself having to resist tempting thoughts when I have those horny moments and staying more focused on the long term love that binds people together because it would definitely make me feel guilty if I just used someone for the personal pleasure of it.

[Exorcist_Rampage]

I'll say around 14 or 15. That's when I had a more mature understanding of love.

[manmeat]
