I only have time for a quick note on one point that jumped out at me.

why is it not possible for me to sleep with as many people as I see fit but STILL love them as bretheren?

God never meant for sex between 2 humans to be just for fun or to feel good. It's not like a back rub or foot massage. The Bible says the 2 become one flesh, and I believe that to be true. I've heard it described as the partner being able to see into your soul during the intimacy. Women especially seem to describe it that way. I think they may be more sensitive about that sort of thing. But when we just sleep around, that special bond is lost. It becomes just for fun or to feel good. And I don't think you can play around with sex for a while and then expect it to take on that special meaning all of a sudden when you feel you want to settle down.

Also, have you ever been friends with someone and then it became sexual? I have. Things are never the same. It's different. For good or bad, you will never be the same with each other ever again. If that person becomes your soulmate, cool. But if it doesn't work out, the friendship is pretty much lost, even if you are still friendly towards each other. That happens time and time again, and it tells me there is more to sex than what you suggest.
