Tom Cruise: "Sex is about the connection." "Meaningless sex sucks."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

In the upcoming issue of GQ, Tom Cruise discusses how great his sex life is, saying:

"Sex is about the connection. Great sex is a by-product, for me, of a great relationship, where you have communication and it's an extension of that. Where it's just free. And that's how it should be. It's spectacular. If you're not in good communication with your partner, it sucks. (Meaningless sex outside of a relationship) is really horrible and pathetic and lonely."

It's about time Tom Cruise gave us advice on how to have great sex.

1. Ew. And I just ate.

[DS1]

2. And like everything else dealing with Tom Cruise and sex, the women

don't make a sound.

[Elidor]

17. BWA!!!!

:rofl:

[SOteric]

34. Women?

Oh.

You mean, like, Ryan Seacrest.

[DS1]

35. Oh right right!

They're perfect for each other :thumbsup:

[Beaverhausen]

3. Sorry, but I agree with him

:hide:

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

5. Not a problem...the reason for the post:

...NOT to agree or disagree with Tom Cruise about what sex should be.

To make it known that I respect the rights of other people to have the sex that they WANT to have, whether I think it's "pathetic" or not.

This little shit has an opinion on EVERYTHING.

That's the reason for the post.

:toast:

[Blue_Tires]

8. yeah, he's (overly)opinionated

but then again, so are most other rich and famous people...why? because people from GQ and Esquire and People and Entertainment Tonight and Rolling Stone are constantly begging people like Cruise or Paris Hilton for interviews just to ask him what he/she thinks about everything....

[Beaverhausen]

9. Well, I have an opinion on everything too

I don't see where he said anything about "other people."

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

13. It's "implied"...

...and it's part of an overall trend. I'm guessing that you missed the Today show that featured his rant on psychology.

This boy likes to give "advice."

[Beaverhausen]

15. Well, it's an interview and someone asked him his opinion

If you don't agree then what is the big deal?

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

16. I didn't say that there's a big deal.

I think Tom's a fuckin' TOOL, but there's no big deal. Big deals aren't allowed in The Lounge. If I thought it was a big deal I would have posted it in LBN and sat back while I waited for the mods to lock it.

Catch my drift?

:patriot:

[blondeatlast]

10. "Opinion on everything" That's the problem there.

My friend and I were discussing the upcoming birth today and she posited a frightening thought--what if Ms. Holmes ends up with post-natal depression?

He'd be tolerable if he'd just keep his damn mouth shut.

Well, and his feet on the floor (Oprah reference).

Well, and maybe his schlong in his pants--if it ever really gets out anyway...

[Wapsie B]

7. I do too.

Meaningless sex does suck big time. To feel the touch of a true love would be one of the joys of life.

[Blue_Tires]

4. hey, i actually agree with that statement

and have said similar things in the past...so sue me

[blondeatlast]

6. He's right, but TC and sex I could have happily spent

the rest of my days NOT thinking about.

Ick. Just ick. Ick ick ick.

[azmouse]

11. Cruise is a clown.

[REDKING]

12. meaningless Tom sucks....

[dysfunctional press]

14. meaningless sex may suck in some people's opinion...

but it's a WHOLE LOT better than NO sex.

[ghostsofgiants]

22. QuestionAll wins the thread.

[smirkymonkey]

26. I think he just means meaningless sex with WOMEN.

[Flying Dream Blues]

30. You're assuming he knows about meaningless sex with women, arent you?

[Elidor]

18. OT: Pete Towshend just gets weirder looking all the time

[caty]

19. Gee!

What would we do without Tom's meaningful insight.:sarcasm:

What's that Tom??!! F*ck ME!!!!!!:wow:

[terrya]

20. Oh, my god...I agree with Tom Cruise.

I'll say this...sex with that special partner IS the best. If you don't have an emotional attachment to that person, the sex is better. Experiencing both sides of the fence, so to speak, convinced me of that.

It's just sort of disconcerting that I find myself agreeing with him on anything.

[TK421]

21. How's this, Tom? Sex is just overrated....period. So get the hell over it!

:beer:

[BlueIris]

29. Sigh. A poster after my own heart.

[Deja Q]

23. So is merely being lonely.

Agreed; meaningless sex isn't much. But surely it is better than none, for some people?

[LaraMN]

24. BUT- does it suck as much as being stuck in pseudo-relationships

for lengthy periods of years, in order to sustain a guise of heterosexuality? That's we'd like to know, Tom. :P

[mongo]

38. HA!

Great question

[Nikia]

25. I agree

I'm married now, but I think that if that changed, I don't think that I'd have sex unless I was in a relationship. You (or at least I) can get the same thing from masterbating and don't have the risks of unwanted pregnancy, disease, or social/emotional consequences of casual sex.

[tuvor]

27. I'm alerting the mods.

This post has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

[sleipnir]

41. Thanks for telling us your moral decision.

Great behavior.

[tuvor]

44. I was joking.

I thought it was obvious.

[imperialismispasse]

51. Where does the "joke" part come in?

[philosophie_en_rose]

28. This statement is full of scientology-speak.

Being "in communication" with your partner means complying with Scientology rules about relationships.

Thus, good sex is only meaningful in context of scientology. ???

[SofaKingLiberal]

31. Okay, now he has completely lost it. n/t

[maveric]

32. Was Tom's turkey baster sex with Katie "Meaningful"? n/t

[0007]

33. What a guy! Now Tom must be known as "Mr. Wonderful"

[NNadir]

36. I have no idea if he's right.

I can't recall having meaningless sex.

[sendero]

37. Cruise is an idiot..

... but he's right about that. I know, I've tried all kinds :)

[eauclaireliberal]

39. NNDB's take on TC...funny

40. The Superficial is a guilty pleasure of mine...mental Haagen Dasz

:P Their writing is the snarkiest!

[laheina]

42. Mine too. :) nt

[pitohui]

43. tom, tom, tom, you're doing something wrong

if you have to have some deep meaningful connection w. a person to enjoy the sex...then you don't really know wtf you're doing, there are buttons you can push and levers you can lever and even if you don't even like the person all that much the sex can be mind-blowing, this is how people end up in relationships with effwads, it's the great sex

all that comment tells me is that either you're a liar or you've never had great oceanic overwhelming sex that completely blots out the importance of your tiny individuality or the tiny individuality of your partner

if i have a good steak, it don't have to be meaningful, it just has to taste good

[peekaloo]

45. He's reenacting that scene from 'A Christmas Story' in that pic.

Seeing if his tongue would stick to a frozen pole.

[mikeytherat]

46. Sex without love is an empty experience,

but, as empty experiences go, its one of the best!

mikey_the_rat

[Puglover]

47. Hey Tommie

[Coventina]

48. The worst sex I ever had was terrific!

Apologies to Woody Allen.

[DrGonzoLives]

49. Meaningless sex is great

Too bad I never get any.

[xchrom]

50. lol -- i agree i love meaningless sex.

it's good to be on the other side of the fence from tom.

there's more imagery there but that would lock the thread.

and bigmclargehuge would humiliate me in rhyme.

[Lilith Velkor]

52. That's partly because of attitudes like Tom's

If meaningless sex were not so routinely condemned, people would indulge in it as a hobby instead of having shitty relationships poisoned by resentment.

JMFO

[DS1]

53. and if people could cure themselves of all sorts of ailments

by holding on to two tin cups, then meaningless sex would be really meaningless - as people would be fucking each other all the time just for the hell of it.

[Lilith Velkor]

54. People do that now

...even with the physical potential consequences being what they are. I'm thinking more of social consequences.

What if people could cure their neighbors of being judgemental shitheads?
