What is your definition of free love?

Spill it.... :H

 

sex with multiple people not necessarily at the same time.

 

How about not being hung up on societal mores and "morality" and being free with your body and anyone who wants it (safely, of course).

 

I love this reply..... Marry me? lol ;-)

 

Get in line, darlin...

You only want me for my mad yurt building skillz anyhoo...

 

so its safe promiscuity?

 

but not indiscriminate

 

It's only promiscuity if you are bound by society's version of what is good and moral (i.e. no premarital sex, no oral sex, no anal sex, no multiple partners, no same sex partners, no anything but missionary with the lights out).

When you let go of the hang ups there's nothing left but enjoying the act.

 

but don't some of those hangups/the taboo nature of many things add to the enjoyment of them? :X


free love.... to give from your heart indescriminantly
doesn't necessarily mean the physical part of love.

 

Being able to separate love from sex, realizing that we are all different and have different sexual needs.

 

That sounds great but you really can't put yourself around everyone can you..? Getting involved with the wrong person can ruin your life.

 

I would like to hear your thoughts about it please folks...

 

Being around in the 60's, I remember hearing about the Summer of Love which was 1967. At the time I was 15 a bit too young to pack up and head to California. I had a friend who was a bit older than me, but lived in the Haight-Ashbury area at the time. He told me about all the free sex, and drugs. He said he had sex with women, who he never even knew their names. I would consider that a bit risky. He said he also seem his share of ODs. And bad trips.

To me free love would be, seeing someone and both deciding to have sex. Hopefully not alchol or drug induced. It might be called free love, but to me It's free sex. No hangups.

 

It's hard to describe but I believe free love is being able to love as many people as your heart desires, physically and emotionally.
Like, I'm sexually active with several people but I currently have only one deep emotional partner who I love completely, emotionally and physically. It's all different kinds of love.

 

well im free for any women that want it. simples so sick of masturbating

 

What is being spoken of here is free sex not free love.

Originally, free love meant to turn away from this world filled with hate and freely show love toward all and it had nothing to do with sex.

 

That's sanitized and inaccurate.
"Free Love" always had something to do with sex.

It about the freedom to love people and the freedom to express that love the way that the two (or more) of you want.
In humans, that includes sex. It always includes the possibility of sex.
Free love doesn't require sex, but it defiantly has something to do with sex.
Freeing one from the connection between love and sex.
Freeing one from limits on love as well as limits on sex.

Its always been about both.

 

Sex without expectations, just for the joy of sharing it.
Our culture/society clamps down on the above. We are taught from childhood that sex is only for those we "love".
As well as you can never-ever have sex outside of the marriage.
The result is most people simply cannot separate devotional love and sex. They tie the two as one, you cannot be devoted to someone and have sex with someone else. But there are those of us who can and do separate the two.
No one will ever take the place of my wife. She is my pair-mate. She is half of who I am, and I will care for her until the end of our lives.
However, having sex with someone else can actually strengthen the relationship. While everyone else is shocked, just SHOCKED that the mere thought of such a thing - meanwhile spending hours gorging themselves on pornography, cheating behind their pair-mates back en masse - getting caught and ruining their lives.
Pheh....they can keep their false outrage.
So who is in for some one on one play time?

 

To answer this question is stated in the quote. For 30 years my husband and I have built a good life. Loving family, nice home in the country, grandchildren. But our sexual adventures falls far beyond the confines of moral conduct and acceptance. Since our children have started their own lives it seems my husband and I restarted ours. Both my husband and I love each other deeply but both of us also know that we have accepted the fact that we love sharing our bodies with others. The way we approach this issue is sex is sex, no love involved. When I have sex with the hubby, we make love and it's fantastic. When I have sex with our fuck buddies is just that, fucking. When I have a male friend over, it's just to satisfy my desire to fuck. My husband feels the same, he has women that all they want is sex, nothing else just sex. Being able to separate the two is so very important in keeping the relationship strong.

 

I'd say a free lover is liberated in their sexuality and romanticism. Someone who regardless of society, relationship status, or general sexual identity is aware as well as joyous in how they approach both physical and emotional aspects of romantic love.
