This is my first stamp. Here's the base. [link]

Okay, I'm sure a lot of you are already aware of this stamp's message, but this is something I've been wanting to say for quite a while: There is more to love than just sex!

It really makes me sick how some people put too much emphasis on the sexual side of love. Love is more than just sex hormone-induced feelings. It's also about caring for other people besides yourself, no matter how ugly, beautiful, dumb, smart, etc. they are. True love is unconditional. Sex really doesn't have that much to do with it.

Just FYI, this isn't supposed to be one of those "love is love" stamps supporting gay marriage (there are plenty of those out there already). Instead, this stamp is meant to raise an awareness of how the amount of emphasis on sex in our culture today affects the way many people view love.

As always, mean or rude comments will not be tolerated. If I get too many of those, I'm disabling comments.

Awesome stamp, really. ^^
It's rare that you find someone with this viewpoint. I'm honestly sick and tired of people saying sex is NEEDED to make a relationship work because of our "animal instincts" or my personal favorite, "sexual NEEDS". BLEH.

To be honest, i'm in a relationship right now, and it's the least of our worries since we're abstinent. Doesn't mean our relationship is boring or we don't love each other. I've never been happier! I just think doing it before we're reading would just muck the whole thing up!

Love is good without sex, sex is good without love. Love and sex together is good. Likewise, it can be very bad.

All depends on the person doing it.

Actually, sex without love is pointless and even harmful.

Uhh, no. Sex was created before love as an emotion existed. And the only sex that's harmful is sex done without consent. Any other sex is perfectly healthy.

Unless it's sex with someone with an STI.

Just putting it out there. :p
