I don't know, I kind of like the term "Vegansexuals"! And the study does have some truth to it, meat-eaters smell like meat just like alcoholics smell like alcohol and smokers smell like smoke!

In younger years when I was already a vegetarian I knew some non-vegetarian men but sooner or later they turned veg! Today I would choose a vegetarian directly!

PETA is full of queers.

Tucker Carlson is so funny. At one time he was all pro-PETA, now he's flip flopped? Odd. Maybe too much pressure from the right wing.

Anyway, I think vegans "being" with meat eaters is a good thing. My boyfriend is a meat eater, but in the past 5 years he has cut way back on meat, and his son is now completely vegetarian.

He says it's mostly because of the veggie meals we cook together. So how will meat eaters change if they don't have someone by their side, being a good influence on them?

Oh well, freedom of choice, anyway.

It's all those fat guys that eat meat that are popping the Viagra!

I too think that vegans being with meat eaters is a good thing... after all - I have less inhibitions when it comes to all the S&M games - knowing full well how much animals lovers enjoy Slaughter&Meat...
We vegans usually prefer (s)Laughter&(m)Eat..?

Anyway - what I routinely do when i get more intimate with flesh lovers is:

*Tie them up so that they cannot move anymore - then i leave them like that for hours, days...
*I beat them until they bleed but do not take care of their wounds..
*I fist them deep...
*I peel their skin off and wear it as "leather"
*One of my favorites, sleeping in your own shit and piss - that really gets them going..
*if all fails and they do not show an re-er-action - pump them up with hormones and drugs... yeah baby!!!! YEAH!!!

I love it - they love it - it's all about the numbing pleasure... I recommend it at least a few times a week - you know - a "balanced, natural" life I call it!!! As God wanted it to be... but not before marriage - mind you.

Again - I still do not get those vegans who refuse to screw a meat eater... what is next - no more sex with child molesters or racists??? Keep it real folks! Stay liberal or you are no better than those fundamentalists...

PS:

I love single mothers who eat meat the most - cause then i can involve their children...

I call it veal-sex.. you know what I mean... oh so tender!

You should see the emotions.. the climax!!

Wow, Hugo, you could not have said it better! Posts like yours are why I still even bother to read the PETA files, and I'm not being sarcastic! You're quite a character, and you're not ashamed of it, I really like that! Keep up the good work, I can't wait to read more about your opinions!

Posted by: Brianna Fritchey | August 4, 2007 12:09 AM

Well, i think dating someone that has the same eating habbits as you is a great idea. But i'm 14 so it's hard to find a guy my age that's vegetarian...

Posted by: Abby | August 4, 2007 01:45 AM

I personally prefer non-meat eaters merely because animal rights is such a huge part of my life, and I cannot see spending the rest of my life with someone who has an opposite view on that. I have a lot of friends that are meat eaters, but as far as being intimate...I'll stick to the compassionate ones!! :) Besides, some things do smell rather bad out of a meat eater!!

Posted by: Veg Girl | August 4, 2007 12:46 PM

My husband went vegan about 6 months after we started dating. He might have never stopped eating meat at all if we had never gotten together and been exposed to a more compassionate lifestyle. I like what the above article says "being vegan isn't about being in a club." I would however never have married a meat eater.

Posted by: Kaye | August 4, 2007 01:51 PM

For a number of years I would not allow any meat or meat products in my house. Trying to find a roomate was difficult. I then concluded that it could be a positive situation, in that it could really give me an opportunity to go to work on someone, turn them into a veg. However kissing someone who is not a veg. grosses me out. I tried with someone and began to crave dairy products. when prior to that the smell alone, yes even in whole foods was very offensive. Don't recommend it. To all you meat eaters out there keep your tongue in your mouth when kissing veg.

Posted by: Kimberly Smith | August 4, 2007 03:22 PM

I was planning on going with a guy then he confessed he had dined out on veal and/or foie gras that evening. Ick. Much prefer a friend with compassion . . . . Guy's no longer in my life, good riddance!!!

Posted by: Anne | August 4, 2007 06:44 PM

It seems silly to me. Of course, people are going to want to screw people they share interests with over people of opposite views. Sometimes, you can hit it off with someone who eats meat, but it takes a lot of agreement in other areas, and a lot of willingness from them to agree that you have a valid viewpoint. Same goes for political, religious, world, environmental, and fiscal stances/beliefs.

Posted by: Jessica | August 5, 2007 01:03 PM

Abby, you have a wonderful opportunity to show those non-vegetarian guy friends of yours all of the great food they could be eating if they just stopped eating meat. Just bring a bit extra to share (at school or wherever), and maybe you will convert someone someday. Also, you could tell the guys about all of the cool celebrity vegetarians out there (like Alicia Silverstone, Prince, JD Fortune, Jorja Fox (you know, the CSI character "Sarah Sidle"), etc, etc). Just look on websites that name celebrity vegetarians, and you would have a lot of conversation material. Good luck, and have fun too!

Zinc deficiency can be a cause of impotence so vegetarians need to make sure they get enough zinc.

Posted by: Sue | August 6, 2007 12:52 AM

Ok, i'm all for animal rights, and respect to wishes of people who dont eat meat. BUT saying eating meat causes impotence? Puh-lease! I fathered 3 children during the height of my meat eating days. Back then, there wasnt a meal i had that didn't have some type of meat. I do have to admit, i do eat less(compared to back then), but i also eat less of everything else, i dont descriminate ;).
Back to the original story: i went to school with a girl whose mother was a strict vegatarian and a die hard animal rights protester. The husband? And avid hunter, with several trophies in the house; their marriage couldnt be better.

Posted by: Rik | August 6, 2007 03:45 AM

grow up--- i am a vegetarian; prac a vegan.... my boyfriend is a board certified meat-eater and you know what? I love him just the way he is....a relationship is about mutural respect.... not trying to convert people to your ideas!!

Posted by: ms | August 6, 2007 08:38 AM

I think I do agree with the idea of going out with a non-vegetarian guy. I don't see the point why not? Get to know him better and it would be an opportunity for me to share with him the benefits of being a vegetarian. You'll never know. Maybe you are the person who can influence him.

Posted by: Amihan | August 6, 2007 11:17 AM

Veganism is a lifestyle. It makes sense for people to want to be in a relationship with others of their same lifestyle.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with dating a meat-eater, Jack makes a great point with this, I'm just saying that it would make sense to be with someone who shares your same, beliefs, values, lifestyle, etc. My girlfriend ate meat when I met her, and now she is vegan.

Posted by: Jason Levy | August 6, 2007 12:13 PM

Looking at the title, I thought this story was about people having sex with vegetables. eeewwwww!!!

Posted by: Oobeedoobee | August 6, 2007 01:25 PM

There was a similar situation on a TV show that I saw this weekend called The Two Coreys, where the PETA rep (who was vegan) was asked by one of the Coreys that if they got married would he have to quit eating meat and she said, yes. In my opinion that's a little extreme. What is wrong with eating meat? Not one vegan could answer that question for me with something that actually makes sense. Not even my own wife, who is vegan. Because I eat meat and she does not doesn't mean that I lack compassion. For dinner I cook my wife an all vegetable meal, but for breakfast and lunch I EAT MEAT. What makes our relationship work is that we respect each others conscience.

Posted by: Chris | August 6, 2007 05:54 PM

This topic seems silly. If we turned it the other way around wouldn't it?
"Meat-eaters" only wanting to be with "meat-eaters"
"Oh yeah, I dated this Veggie chick and she tasted too much like cucumber, so I dumped her ass."
And thoes of you wanting to try to convert people to what you think. Why try and conform all these unique and wonderful people? That's like telling a vegetarian to eat a steak, rare, so you can taste the blood, honey.
No, let people be. And if some of you think it's weird to date someone who's different. I suppose that's your problem.
I'm a vegetarian, have been for years. I could never go back. I'm basically dating a carnivore. I love him all the same though. But I would never change who he is. That's all up to him.
We're strong and I think we balance eachother out.
Balance is the key.

Posted by: Alex | August 7, 2007 02:57 AM

OK sorry Hugo, I took it in the wrong way. Oops. Do you actually live in your own shit and piss? lol. Anyways,
Yeah maybe Vegans should do it with vegans. Cause meat eaters want it more and have energy cuz they eat meat. But PETA is trying to take control. Anyways I dunt know I mean whatever the girl or boy feels like doing it with and they are comfortable with their partner, that's what really matters.

Posted by: Veg Girl | August 7, 2007 07:59 PM

i had a "fake' vegetarian girlfriend once........

she condoned my lifestyle, was indecisive (sp?) and, worse of all, cursed my dog.

i will never date a girl again that promotes a veg or semi-veg diet. there are probably hundreds of honet, hardworking vegs out there, but she left a bad taste in my mouth

Posted by: Steve | August 8, 2007 01:36 AM

I love those Ice-T lyrics – I think they are very fitting to the discussion?:

KKK Bitch

Aw yeah, what's up out there? BC's in the house. Right
about now, I wanna tell you a little love story, you know
what I'm sayin', this is a Body Count love story check out
the lyrics, you know, I'm a tell you 'bout what happened
when we went down South last year on tour.

Out on tour yo, I been all around the world
went to Georgia, met this fine-assed white girl,
blonde hair, blue eyes, big tits and thighs,
the kinda girl that would knock out most guys.
She got wild in the backstage bathroom,
sucked my dick like a muthafuckin' vacuum,
said "I love you, but my daddy don't play,
he's the fuckin' grand wizard of the KKK."

I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she sucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she fucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, she loves it when I treat her bad,
I I I love my KKK bitch, mutha fuck her dear old dad.

You know what I'm sayin'. So we was down South fallin' in
love, you know, D-Roc had this Nazi girl, my man
Mooseman had a skinhead, I fell in love with Tipper Gore's
two twelve year old nieces.
It was wild,
you know what I'm sayin',
it got even worse, you know.

So one night they took us to a meetin'
white sheets, white hoods, no room for seatin'
there was Skinheads, Nazi's and crazies,
talkin' 'bout black people pushin' up daisies.
They hated Blacks, Jews, Puerto Ricans,
Mexicans, Chinese, even the Indians.
We had our hoods on,
we were slick
she pushed her butt up hard against my dick.
Then her daddy jumped on the stage
talkin' 'bout killin' in a goddamn rage.
I got mad, my dick got hard
entered in her ass
she said, "Oh my God!"

I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she fucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she sucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, she loves it when I treat her bad,
I I I love my KKK bitch, mutha fuck her dear old dad.

So what we really tryin' to say is Body Count loves
everybody. We love Mexican girls, Black girls, Oriental girls,
it really don't matter. If you from Mars, and you got a pussy,
we will fuck you. You know, that's all we're sayin', word.

So every year when Body Count comes around
we throw an orgy in every little Southern town.
KKK's, Skinheads, and Nazi
girls break their necks
to get to the party.
It ain't like their men can't nut,
their dick's too little
and they just can't fuck.
So we get buck wild with the white freaks
we show them how to really work the white sheets.
I know her daddy'll really be after me,
when his grandson's named little Ice-T.

I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she fucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she sucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, she loves it when I treat her bad,
I I I love my KKK bitch, mutha fuck her dear old dad.

Veg Boy: "Cause meat eaters want it more and have energy cuz they eat meat. PETA is trying to take control..."

Most meat eaters can't see their own feet - let alone their penis if they are male! Many females who practice meatism further can't masturbate for the only reason that their belly and arms are so fat that they cannot reach down properly anymore... it is a sad story... Of course they "want it more" because as one of the projectors has stated - they are starved for sex and compensate with the energy draining meat and milk products... and if meat eaters have more energy then smokers have healthier lungs! Clint Eastwood, Orlando Bloom, Leonardo di Caprio, Carl Lewis, Joaquin Phoenix, ... , Gorillas, what do you mean?

How is PETA trying to take control? Have they forced Clint Eastwood to eat vegan? Have they forced any of us to do anything? Or are WE forcing someBODY to do stuff for US - and PETA is merely against US forcing those WE have control over to say.. live in their own shit and piss for all their life? Please elaborate!

Regarding the argument to respect ones partner - of course one should. Unconditionally that is...!!! Scares me to think that only because your partner supports the beating of children, the raping and fisting of children, the forcing of children to sleep in shit and piss - that one should not respect and love his/her partner...

Jokes aside - of course I have sex with meat eaters - what else are they good for other than that?! If only they were better looking..!!! They spend most of their time and money on torturing, killing and destroying what nature (God) has grown and what our children need for their survival?

But I would not call a sex-buddy a partner as long as he does not prove that he/she can be trusted. If taste is more important than ethics and the avoidance of tremendous suffering and needless killings, if convenience and misguided variety is more important than the survival of our children - I would not enter ANY form of relationship other than a purely sexual and materialistic..

I can understand the problem when you are young and the first sex also means that you have reinvented love and that your love will last for ever and is oh so different and powerful than everybody else’s, etc. But if you are past your teens you must have learned what to look for in a partner better? Everybody thinks of him or herself as “good” or deserving “justice”… this diluted self-image leads us to identify with the good guys in Hollywood movies – when we all clearly are the bad guys every day… Basically – you DON’T want to be in a relationship that is build on vital lies!!! Actually - you don't wanna live in a culture which is build on vital-lies? This is why people get active for animal rights..

GoVeg.com to all of you! Hugo

Posted by: hugo pottisch | August 8, 2007 01:23 PM

The original post mentioned a study showing that meat-eaters stink. Indeed, they do. There is a foul exudate emanating from their pores that I, unfortunately, must inhale every time I ride the bus. It is even left behind on the seats!

It isn't only meat that makes one smell like rancid lard; it's any animal product. Years ago, a Viet Nam war vet told me that an indigenous people in Viet Nam, called the "Montagnards", informed him that they could smell Americans hundreds of yards away. They told him that the peculiar stench was caused by drinking milk!

Posted by: Basilisk | August 10, 2007 01:56 PM

I dunno!! I've been vegan for about 4 years now and my boyfriend of 2 years is a meat eater - we're really happy and have a pretty good sex life!! Though I'm not happy about him eating meat, it's his decision, just like mine is about being vegan.

I find vegetarian lovers to be more adventursome than meat eaters.

Posted by: MOONCHILD | August 19, 2007 11:52 AM

body fluids smell different when spiced with animal. I remember when I first went veg I noticed right away my body odor and number 2's smelled a lot milder. Granted, I still smell, but it's veg smell. I can't stand it when someone sits down next to you in class and you know what they had for their last meal.

Posted by: Leah | August 19, 2007 01:13 PM

i'm 12 (vegan), & its hard to find a good veggie guy my age... but i still can't stomach the thought of making out with a meat-eater... i mean, what would it taste like! ew.

Posted by: veg-head | August 19, 2007 01:32 PM

Okay, as a vegan I can honestly say that the only thing that has ever lowered my sex drive has been being pregnant and due to having hereditary complications being told by the doctor that I was NOT ALLOWED to have sex...I must say, it felt like the two longest months of my life! I would once a day if I could, but my husband only seems to be interested about twice a week...but news flash, most of my married friends when discussing this subject seem to be interacting once every two weeks, I think this Tucker person has it backwards (my husband is vegan as well, whereas about half of our friends are meat eaters and the other half vegetarian). Tucker's research needs some serious improvement!

Posted by: Heavy | August 19, 2007 02:33 PM

I appreciate this discussion. I broke up with a meat eater about a year ago. We had been together for almost 2 years. I was vegan; he was not. That was an issue, but the bigger issue was the lack of mutual respect. I really tried not to force any of my ethics onto him. I tried to accept him for who he is and live my vegan life. But--I didn't really see that we had a future. I couldn't even talk about vegan issues that really inspired me because he would take that as me trying to change him. I think we both knew that we'd have more of a future if we had more similar lifestyles, so under the surface we were harboring the hope that the other person might change. That tension will manifest. I'm a naturally expressive person. I felt like I couldn't even engage in a real discussion with him about the pro's and con's of veganism. I was open to his perspective. I think that he was afraid of mine. While I'm open to dating a meat eater again, it's not my preference. I dream of finding a nice vegan man. :-) But, I've had two dates in the past year--both with meat-eaters. I kissed one of them and he had milk breath. It was disgusting. He also said something like, "but the meat tastes so much better when the animals suffer..." Ok, that was a no go. Then, the other guy was really open to learning about my lifestyle, but there was just no chemistry on other levels. I've tried some veg dating services. Slim pickin's in my area. So I don't know what's next. I just know that--if it's with another meat eater--I'll proceed with caution. I'll be clear about my ethical standards and my passion for animal rights. I won't force it down their throat, but I certainly won't hide it. I'm interested in a partner. I do think I'd be happiest with finding someone like-minded. But, as far as casual dating goes, I think I need to be open. Who knows?

I was a meat eater when I met my wife in college, she was a vegetarian, ,now we are both vegetarian, she showed me the light so to speak, and I am grateful for that. At first I wouldnt listen or think about it, then I started listening, and then I started thinking, that was about 15 years ago, if either of us had decided to date only meat eters/vegetarians, we never would have been found each other.

Posted by: Stagger Lee | August 19, 2007 08:21 PM

I agree with Stagger Lee, why would I want to extremely narrow my possible sexual partners, simply because they eat meat. I could always convirt partners to vegetarism; but only covert them to Veganism if I was losing them. The unhealthy look has down enough of that already.
I also would like to point out that if I was to go by my deep belief in protecting animals through Veganism (or lesser vegetarnism) to determine people I was attracted to, then it would come in conflict with my attraction to . I love to have the best of both worlds- a real Vegan women (not plastic) that have big breasts and asses; however, since we know that those areas of the human body is made up of fat cells and vegetarians lose a lot of fat, let alone Vegans, I would lose my attraction.

Posted by: Jason 'Great White' | August 20, 2007 01:00 PM

Rik,
It medical fact that more fat one has on his or her body causes greater sexual impotency. I would like to point out that other practices like total stress and bike seats do the same thing.

Oobeedoobee,
To be honest I thought that right away; until I remember it is a PETA E-Mail, not those Spamming Porn E-Mails-I Hate so much.

I am not an expert on on people smelling like what they consume and during sex turning off or on their mates; but I know that when one eats-
A whole lot of carrots one's skins turns orange (actually Allies' WW2 fighters were colored orange-'Good Eats' Alton Brown)
And
A whole lot of garlic one's skins smells of garlic (I assume a lot of garlic and all the time told I smell like garlic).
The point is if it is possible, then one has to consume a ton of meat to smell like meat (Akins Diet anyone?).
Plus, I know this is crazy, but there are interesting people out there, one could buy a purfume that smells like meat to attract men, since men eat the most meat.

Posted by: Jason 'Great White' | August 20, 2007 01:16 PM

Maya,

I was in sports media and have degree in media entertianment
Just remember a huge percentage of all media out there is owned and strictly controlled by small amount of companies taht are owned by supporters of The Conversative Right Wing of The Republican Party, thanks to Ex-President Cliniton's actions. What you are saying has happened many times over, even with supposedly unreachable private and non-profit regulated media (only supported throught advertising or public donations). I guess you understand why private regulated media supported by advertisers can be controlled by one side or the other (like HBO's Bill Maher's Real Time political comedy show switching from bashing the war to saying was a must). Now all the non-profit media that receives funding from The USA Gov or really opur tax money is biased towards the current political party in control (Bush Administration) because our current dictator Bush appointed a member of The Conversative Right Wing of The Republican Party at the top job.

oh gawd that is one of the most halarious things i have heard. But of course it is just another idiotic idea that comes out of people that are too naive to understand what the reasons/beliefs that apply to being veg.

Posted by: Diana | August 20, 2007 05:17 PM

I've been a Vegetarian since I was 10 (26 now) and am just making the transition to Vegan this year. My sex drive is definitely fine, my carnivorous boyfriend can't keep up with me! Oh and he has decided to go Vegetarian after less than a year of being with me, and by his own choice, not by me nagging him!

Posted by: Shana | August 20, 2007 05:52 PM

I'm vegan since '92 and veg since '75. About seven years ago, at a "tantra" mixer, I ended up in a clinch with the most attractive guy in the room. That is, until I smelled the dead animal exudate which filled his pores...! 'Nuff said.

Posted by: Jason 'Great White' | August 20, 2007 10:40 PM

I have meat-eating friends, I definitely don't just befriend and am around only vegans - so in that way, I can influence others into vegetarianism (and I have successfully done this with a few already). For DATING and SLEEPING purposes, I choose vegan. Meat eating is a turn off to me, and if you want me to give it up, then you need to give it up. It's like how a person who puts in a personal ad for someone they want to date and potentially sleep with says "must be non-smoker" because they just find it gross. I am not about to kiss a dood if he just ate a box of Cheez-its and I shouldn't have to "wait" to kiss my dood. Meat-eating FRIENDS, that's totally different. I'm all about that.

Posted by: Jason 'Great White' | August 21, 2007 04:11 PM
