Likewise, wouldn't it also depend on how good you are at sex whether or not you're willing to give it up? ;-)

i think so . people with the condition that causes sex to end very quickly probably would not miss it as much as those without that condition :)

This is a tough question and I really don't know what I would choose to give up. Both sex and Tennis are very important to a lot of people's lives on these boards so it would be very difficult for me to decide what to give up. (disregard what I said in my previous post) I think sex is important if done at the right time when two people are committed which is after marriage.

Sex can be tough to come by for some people. Some people might be lucky and have the opportunity to have sex all the time with different partners while some people end up like the 40 year old virgin, so in essence sex is more important to some people then others and that can also be said about Tennis.

Yeah there are plenty of people out there (mainly women) who have no desire for sex at all. And then you have alot of guys who might be in bad marriages or whatever where they grow apart from their partner and choose to do their own thing using porn. So they aren't missing out either. So everyone is different so I am certainly not surprised to see either answer.

i have to assume those who choose tennis have a very either sad or completely dead sex life because i just dont see anyway anybody with a healthy sex life would give that up for tennis, tennis can be more easily replaced by lets say watching a movie, running, eating, sleeping, etc, where as there is no substitute for good sex

^ Pretty much nail on the head.

More and more, BP's posts read like those of a desperate adolescent.
Even his response to you is incredibly juvenile.

This is a remarkable and (thankfully) rare accomplishment for a man in his 40s.

There's no substitute for a great day of tennis, either.

I am a conscientious objector to this ultimatum.

Ditto here.

For those of you youngsters out there, getting married and having kids will make the decision for you, TENNIS! You won't have a choice.

It would have been an easy answer but then he threw in relations by yourself didn't count.

My wife is VERY pregnant and due to the saturday and sunday morning diversion of tennis I barely notice how crappy that fact is.

So I love both but I choose tennis since I never think about tennis during sex, but I think of sex plenty when playing tennis. If you came to the courts I play at Sat morning you wouldn't have to ask why.

I rest my case.
This is precisely the type of retort heard in junior high schools throughout North America.
A 14 year old could not come up with a more adolescent response even if he tried really hard.

For those of you yongsters out there, you need to make sure you find the right woman. I'm 42, been married for 15 years and still going at it like rabbits! Ohh bee-have.

I'd give up tennis in a second. Like many have said, I would take up table tennis, badmitton, squash, etc to substitute for tennis.

And what is your excuse for participating in what you consider such an "adolescent" thread? :confused:

There are plenty of adolescent threads on this board which I don't bother with. Obviously, these are the kinds of threads you relish since you're here. :oops:

Hey, kairo, I've "known" you for quite some time on this board. Didn't know you were actually Michael Douglas (reference to Basic Instinct). Anyway your response reminded me of the line from the movie, don't know whether you were referring to it, or this is a common US term. Last I heard, MD got himself checked into some kind of sex addiction clinic, lol.

And you aren't rabbitting with Sharon Stone are you :-D

It is a common term used here in the States. Presumably because rabbits procreate often!

Apparently, you've yet to learn the definition of a hypocrite - despite actually being one yourself. That's quite an accomplishment.

I saw that you had created the thread - you're closing in on 20,000 posts now - and so I entered the thread simply to see if anyone had bothered to point out your ongoing immaturity and obvious need for attention.
When I saw that this had been done, I typed out a brief post of my own, knowing it would bother you to the point of responding, and thus further prove your immaturity.

Thanks for your co-operation.

This is obviously your favorite thread on the entire message board. You just can't help but keep coming back to it since you just love it so much. :oops:
