I do feel the same, or at least hold the same reserve. Sucumbing to your inhibitions and simply having it with anyone is your choice, maybe these people don't believe you can find someone who can connect with perfectly (whatever that may be to you), perhaps they believe what they have is perfect, yet can't discern the difference between lust and what a perfect match could be. Maybe they don't want to? It could be peer presure, just the brief feeling of joy, or whatever else they feel is somehow making them better for sleeping around. Eitherway, I can't either agree or disagree about it, they are two people who want the sex and it is their lives, why should I condem something which is an attempt to improve a relationship? I can frown upon the circumstance & possible outcomes; are they cheating, is there a risk of an unplanned child (no protection or care to check a few days after?), was it for material gain or status (shagging the boss?). I can't condem it as a whole, but I can disagree upon the factors surrounding them.

Likewise, it's our choice to wait for someone who we think 'clicks' with us. Maybe it's yourself who is the 'hinderence' and stopping you from being outgoing or opening all possible doors in your life to meet as many people as you can. Maybe it is you who is stopping you from walking across the room and talking to that person who made you think "Wow..". If not then surely it's only time and the choices you make that can conspire against you meeting someone who does make you feel that way.
Whichever it may be (Maybe none of them at all), the matter of fact is that you have chosen to wait for that person, because you may want to prove giving yourself to them is a symbol of trust and confidence, understanding and companisonship. I will not use the word 'love'.

I dislike the term 'love'. I don't believe there is always someone out there for you, and at the same time I don't think your perfect partner is someone who you will never quarrel with, a person who will ALWAYS be there for you (okay, that's something I'll give reason to in a minute), or is based off physical appearences.
Love determines that there is ALWAYS someone out there for you, I don't think that is reasonable or even rationable. Maybe there is no one out there for you, maybe you will remain alone forever, or maybe you just find someone who just makes you feel happy for a short amount of time, unfulfilled. And even then, your outlook on life will change over your lifespan many times, moods will swing to-and-fro, objects or events you adore now could be lost or forgotten, eitherway your personality WILL change.
Perhaps you can get lucky, you find that person who you 'click' with, what relationship would you both lead? I think the fairytale lovey scenario is bull, I mean it would be nice to not ever have to debate about things, but God(s) how boring do you wish to live? Likewise with someone who will always be able to fall back on. We sometimes learn more when we are the ones watching our own backs & picking ourselves up, there will be conflicts you don't want to drag even your closest relations and friends in (maybe you don't want to or have little choice), it will be you, numero uno, and if you can't handle it then maybe it's your own problem?
If you go for just physical looks do I even need to give a point about that?

You can only maximise your chances at finding someone who who will 'click' with through going out, meeting people, saying yes to more things and generally enjoying life. I don't see how this couldn't effect your outlook on life and how you might spend your years, whilst giving you that extra chance of finding that person. Here's an example, say you are rang up by a group of friends at 8 of an evening, asking if you'd like to simply go to the cinema, saying yes gives you that extra chance of bumping into someone new and starts you chatting, maybe they ask you to go on a trip or a holiday with them or family, you could find yourself talking to anyone. What would you be doing if you said no, though?



I'm personally happy waiting as long as it may be, maybe I might not find anyone, inwhich I can't say I'm happy but at least I did in my life what I thought was for the best. If I just found any random girl I felt nothing but simple lust for, then surely it's only a problem for the both of us in the short & long term.

I spoke in general about everyone, so here's my view why I'd also like to just wait (Not relevant to anyone but myself, so it's spoilered)
I don't feel attracted to looks. I could see a model in a magazine or an attractive woman and I understand why people see her as attractice, but I don't feel aroused or that bothered by it. I have no interests in males, so I know I'm not gay or bi-sexual, and I have once felt an attachment to a single girl a few years ago in school, something I regretted dearly never owning upto before we simply got seperated into different classes, then different colleges. I found her interesting, we had similar tastes in everything, but with differences to make sure there was always something else we could add to one anothers point or view, we could play games and be at a similar skill level, both had similar values.
I remember being able to walk to her house, we ended up cooking together. The next day we could just sit and talk, just happy for one anothers company. We would do everything together two years, she became my best friend and I honestly never did feel the same around others from school or around me. I tried to venture out of the friend stage, I tried to get her a gift, make hints and subtly make conversation change in that angle.. I say tried (and succeeded) in getting her a gift, I was 11-12 at the time. I think she knew what I was doing, we knew each other that well I noticed subtle change in her attitude as well, or a brief smile she would make when I tried to add a layer to the topic about 'us'.

Well, it came to nothing, I still have the memories and I still know know how to contact her, but I don't want to. I don't want to find she's changed from what I knew, or that I've changed from what I was when we were together. I have good memories of events and how I felt, I don't want to add to it that I spoiled it by trying to talk to her again and doing something stupid. Some people will call that cowardly, I call it preservation.

I want to ask, does anyone else feel physical forms aren't important? I don't mean this idealogically (I.E. you don't choose) but biologically, do you not become bothered because of how a person looks? Are you only interested in the personality, their charisma and how you can interact with them even just as friends?
I don't know how awkwardly worded that is, but simply put, does anyone look at the person, not the body?

Sorry for this long as hell post, the spoiler could be interesting though?

Way to break down sex into an analysis ._.
If you think about it too hard then it's not going to work well.

I'd prefer to wait. I have a friend who's spent the last four years scheming and manipulating to get into the pants of every girl he possibly can, and then when he finally formed a meaningful relationship with somebody, it didn't last very long. He couldn't handle it, because he didn't know how to behave around someone he genuinely loved. I'd much rather wait until I find someone I actually care about. I have a feeling it'll be far more satisfying anyhow.

A question I've been dwelling over for some time now. I'm sure we all have noticed the growing promiscuity of teenagers and I'm just wondering, why? Why is sex something that is sought out so much after by any means? It seems like average teen just wants to have sex as soon as possible and doesn't matter who it's with.

Now I'm not saying everyone is like this, just it seems that a lot of people (at least where I live) are.

I've never really been one for the whole sex thing. It's not that I'm gay, don't care or asexual even, I just want to wait for someone I love before I have sex. After reading a few studies and surveys showing that the average person loses their virginity between 15 -17, I can't help wonder if I'm really the only one who wants to wait or if I'm just missing out on it by being so uptight.

Now I will admit that I had sex once in my life. It ended horribly and I deeply regret because I was in love with the girl and it turned out, she didn't even remotely feel the same about me and I'm wondering if I'm the only one who feels it would be best to wait.

Please note that my feelings towards sex has absolutely nothing to do with any religious beliefs. I'm also not saying there should be a certain age or you should wait till marriage. Just until you're actually in love. Not the bullshit that teenagers feel when they like someone, but actual love.

So, Escapist, what are your thoughts on this? Am I just being uptight when it comes to the subject or am I in the right for thinking this?
No your not the only one who thinks that. It's really best to wait till marriage for sex since by then the couple would be comfortable with each other and actually love each other for who they are; most of the time.

I've come to the conclusion that it will be well worth it to not get into the whole "Girl" thing until after high school. Not that my willpower has a perfect track record, but a relationship and or sex just isn't going to be worth it, because it's high school: It ain't gonna last.

Edit after reading more of the thread: Just waiting until I find the right one, as has been said numerous times.

I don't really get it, sex isn't that big a deal =/

My current partner is the one I lost my virginity to, and while it's special when it's between two people who love each other, it's hardly everything. I mean, honestly, hands are literally just as good, just not as intimate. For girls anyway.

Sex is special and emotional and everything else, but it's not EVERYTHING. That's not to say you should have it with anyone, I just mean it's not so awesomely fantastically mind blowing and toe numbing that you should do it with anyone and anything as soon as you can get your moist loins anywhere near other loins of similar lubrication.

The awesome part about sex is that BOTH people enjoy it, and BOTH people feel connected. Sleeping with everything doesn't give you that :p It's ridiculously emotional, for both parties involved,

So, tl;dr those that wait aren't missing out, 'cause if anything, those that give it away are skipping the emotional aspect of it, and thus aren't truly experiencing sex ^_^

Marik2, why is it best to wait until marriage for sex? What if you get married and find out that you're not sexually compatible? Way to lock yourself into a lifetime of unsatisfying sex.

People want to lose the "virgin" status as quickly as possible because its simply another word a complete lack of experience.

The idea the "first time" will be magical and amazing is crap. Its always disappointing and lame (especially if both are virgins), as someone simply doesn't know what they're doing.
Yeah, the virgin status has a pretty big stigma attached to it.

I don't think the first time is necessarily lame OR magical. What really matters is who you're with. I have only ever done sexual things with my current girlfriend, and I'm her first boyfriend ever, so we're both completely inexperienced. But we're laid back about that so I get great experiences like our first time making out, where we clicked teeth and laughed about it together. I think the important thing is that you're doing something that you both want to do, and pressure shouldn't come into it at all (other than physical pressure of course.) Then it won't matter how much you screw it up, it'll still be fun.

OT: I'm a virgin and a teenager, and I think having sex will be great, but I'm in no rush. But if you're in a committed relationship with someone you loveI believe love is subjective. One has to know for one's self whether they're in love. and you're both comfortable with it, I see no reason to wait.

Wait till your with some one you love. You don't have to be married. Just have a deep care for each other.

biology its as simple as that, teens are "meant" to be promiscuous its natural. love is irrelevant when it comes to mating, and you get down to the core of its purpose.

This is of course assuming that girls are the ones in control of everything - sleeping with someone quickly =/= promiscuity - I'd wager that most guys here(esp. the topic creator) would want to sleep with a girl ASAP, but they're hardly 'promiscuous' because they're not getting any.

Isn't there a good chance that a girl who wants sex more quickly might just be eager in the same way that the guy is?

You're doing what's right for you. It's not uptight if you feel that you need to have an emotional connection with someone before sleeping with them, that's just who you are whereas others choose to treat the act of physical love more like a sport... raquetball for instance, and they have to deal with the consequences. One argument though for the prevalence of sex as such a great goal is that it successfully sells people into buying products or into ideas by tapping into the physical urges we all have as mammals and thus is easily and commonly exploited for such reasons. To be honest though I am pretty much of the same mind as you, but I would suggest not wasting your energies by worrying too much about it or whether there's something wrong with you just because you seem to deviate from the mob.

It certainly seems that way. A lot of teens don't seem to care or they're pressured into it. At my sister's school a bunch of kids were saying that they don't blame someone if they cheated on their girlfriend because this guy's girlfriend had been dating him for a year and a half and didn't have sex with him. That kind of pressure can really push someone into making a hasty decision on a serious matter.

Personally, I'm like you. I'm waiting for the right person to come along before I even think about it.

I lost my virginity at an early age. When it comes to sex now, i'm like "meh". That doesn't mean I'd turn it down, just that it doesn't really interest me. I don't know why so many people are constantly trying to either lay or get laid. Seriously, it's nothing special.

Yea good point. This brings to mind how society seems to view things. A girl that has sex with anyone as soon as possible might be deemed a skank/slut/whore whereas a guy that has sex with anyone as soon as possible is a pimp/mac daddy.
I agree - it's a horrible double standard. I admit that I carry something of a 'man whore' label due to my past (check my profile photo for related lols) and I don't mind, because of how society sees this.

However, I have a female friend who just turned 17 and has had numerous sexual partners (one of which was me but it ended well so hey ha), and while she is labelled negatively she is one of the most intelligent and mature girls I know, so it's hard to make a standard here.

Bottom line; girls are just as eager as boys (in general) but boys are more easily led around by their reproductive organs.

I have never had sex because I haven't ever felt close enough to someone above the legal age.

That makes me sound kinda like a pedophile, but I am only 16 and my girlfriend is 15 so I am waiting for her birthday to pass before I have sex.

But some of the people at my school have had sex when they were only 13.

Who the hell would have sex when they are 13?!?!
