“Does love exist on the campus of Prairie View A&M? ” Well, you can’t rule out the thought, because there are some couples that have genuine feelings for each other and cherish the thought of being together. On the other hand, you also have to acknowledge the fact that we live in a day and age where an increasing number of people are just having sex “for the thrill of it”.Chris Smith, a graduate student from Galveston, Texas, offered his view on how sex and love differ but also go hand in hand. “Love is when you really care for someone and are willing to go that extra mile to please them”.
With the regularity that people are having sex, is it even possible to have a relationship that doesn’t include sex?
“Sex can complicate things, but it can also make things easier. It’s difficult because the reason most relationships fail is because of something relating to sex. Whether it’s lack of sex, cheating or ‘poor performance’, the reason for breaking up almost always revolves around sex. The grounds of the relationship need to be set early, so that both partners know if sex is high on their agenda when it comes to a relationship,” said Smith.
Sharise Washington, a sophomore nursing major from Houston, Texas gave her thoughts on love and sex.
“I would put the sex to lovemaking ratio at 70-30. 70 percent for the amount of people that have sex for fun and 30 for people actually making love and enjoying each other,” said Washington.
From a girl’s view, can a relationship last without sex?
“No, because sex is what keeps a relationship going. In a relationship, the feelings and passion involved with sex helps out a great deal,” said Washington.
True love isn’t dead. It takes a special person to be able to look their partner in the eye and confess their love for them and mean it. Guys tend to hide their feelings because they feel that they may have to rip their Players Card when they fall for a girl, while girls naturally show feelings and are more inclined to show emotion in a relationship. It may come as a surprise to many ladies on this campus, but there are some quality gentlemen on “The Yard” who know how to treat a women and know what it means to be loyal.
