Would you let Eli in?

Would you would give up sex to be with Eli? More correctly, would you give up sex to be with your true love?

This raises a completely different question, I'd only 'be' with Eli if i was also 12, and could be perpetually so. I'm not sure you could really truly be in love with someone as an adult without the physical bond of sex, or making love if you wanna put it that way, you need that physical, as well as mental, connection. i hope that doesn't make me sound shallow, or chauvinistic.

If I would be able to become 12 once again, yes. Or at least having all sexual urges removed. Otherwise that could be a problem, but I am not really giving up much. I have not really been that succesful so far. As a follow-up question, who would expose themselves to the same crimes that was commited against Eli to be with her? I would because I am apparently a total Eli-fanatic .

Let the Right One In and this forum has caused me to think quite a bit about this question. I have asked myself what do I want most in life? I have come to the conclusion that what I want more than anything else is a real friend. Sex is perhaps inescapable (one way or another), but it is a very selfish and self-centered hobby. I really need something more than that.

Is it though? It's a natural instinct to breed, and maybe we should see it as a gift that we can derive (and give) so much pleasure from it. I mean a lot of bad things can happen from deprivation of sex, people degrading to rape and sexual abuse, or even murder. Evidence seems to suggest that we need it.

Damn those Hormones.
Theres actualy a manga/anime thats based on this exactly. Its called Chobits and the entire thing is about the fact that this guy has his Perfect True Love, but they can never have sex because if they do all her memories will disappear.
Id love to say yes id give it up for a perfect love, but I know such a thing couldnt really exist and the hormones would win out in the end. Though I dont really think Eli would mind if it with Oscar, and we can probably assume she would know some things from her past. Also she might be able to change her body like she does for other things to be more "Acomodating" for the act. The fact still is Oskar and Eli were pubescent at the time of events and so those hormornes are still there at least in Oskars case.

Shouldn't prove a problem. Over the past years I pretty much lost any sexual interest. Having been a self-medicating wreck certainly helped.

There was a show called "pushing daisies" that was similar to this vain. Ned (the main protagonist) has a gift. If he touches a dead thing, once, it comes back to life. If he touches it twice, it goes back to being dead. Also, after one minute, if he hasn't touched it again, something else off equal value will die to pay back that life. He had a childhood sweetheart who died, and he revived her. Unfortunately, Ned can never touch her because if he did that, she'll die instantly. And they are in love...

It was a cute show.

Gving up sex is tough. Still, it does get a bit repetitive at times (no pun intended. Well, maybe just a little.). True love.. That doesn't come by very often. Hmmm..

My wife and I absolutely loved that show! I loved the innovative ways they came up with to get close to each other.

I don't think rape and sexual abuse are really about sex. I also think people can have sex with each other and still be perfectly miserable.

Damn those Hormones.

I am not going to disagree with that statement.

Try being financially raped by the German equivalent of the Child Support Agency* mate - that's enough to put anyone off procreating again...

*I speak from personal experience here as a loving and responsible parent who has never shirked my financial obigations to my daughter. It certainly drives you to the edge...
