Australia! A land of terrifying monsters and unbelievably conservative politicians. Kind of like a few parts of the states but with better beaches and more venomous squirrels.

You've gotta test the car before you buy it.

Haha I love this analogy, and I feel similar.
[sub][sub]This seems like something you would say judging from your previous posts.[/sub][/sub]

Testing the car?
Jeezy creezy, everyone thinks I'm a slag.
I'm no where near, just to throw that out there.

Ok I wasn't thinking that or saying that, I was just commenting most of your posts seemed to have a similar topic.
P.S you rhymed. Kind of.

So I did. In fact, sort of sounds like a crazy form of Haiku.
No offence or anything taken, haha, I never really noticed, but you're probably right.

O! Im sorry nevermind I thought you were someone else. But yes it did sound like a crazy haiku.

Except the bird-eating spiders the size of a house cat are allergic to politicians.

I would say be careful who you sleep with. But sex is ultimately your decision. I am sick of authority figures (religious or political) trying to pressure young people into their point of view about sex. And since I cannot marry my girlfriend (because we are both women AND she is in the military {don't ask don't tell is such bullshit}) it is completely up to us when we are ready to have sex for the first time.

 

[Flames66]

No. I do not feel that it should be as casual a thing as it is. I am still a virgin and not ashamed of it. I am waiting until I am in a loving relationship and it can be the culmination of it. I do not try to influence what other people do about it, but I will not have anyone tell me what to think. If people wan't to have sex outside of marriage then that's their business.

 

[Pimppeter2]

At least its better than losing it on camera.

No seriously, I hate how virginity is so sacred. Its fucking pointless. In a couple of generations virginity will barely exist due to the level of activity girls are getting into as well as the radiation they expose their ovaries to by placing their phone on their pants.

And no sex till marriage? Most ridiculous thing I've ever seen people do.

 

[Kimjira19]

As mentioned before, I find it aggrevating that people constently ask WOMEN to not have sex. Males have a virginity too.

But the biggest reason I think things like sex have changed is partially because women and their freedom has changed. Most women were virgins when they married but many were married before their 20s when their sexuallity kicked in.

Nowadays, many women wait and date to find Mr. Right, but they have emotional, pysical and biological needs that they may need to take care of with someone they are not married to.

I personally feel that what needs to be said is that it's your body, but respect it. Don't have sex for the first time for the sake of having sex. And use the appropriate contraceptives, for both of your sakes.

I'll step off my soapbox now.

(PS, I am a girl IRL and were this man to step onto Canadian soil and I find out about it, he will be fed to my pet huskies)

And don't forget those females like myself who prefer other females... At least where I live (Missouri) same-sex marriage is illegal...

Virginity has nothing to do with ovaries... That would be the hymen...

 

[maddawg IAJI]

Didn't Sarah Palin preach abstinence when one of her own daughters was pregnent with her grandchild? It is a good message, but it is a view of personal belif. Some people would rather just live with eachother and love one another then get married. I know one couple that does just that and they have 3 children. They are a happy family and marriage isn't required to make that happen.

Thanks I guess? I know that.

What I mean is that the radiation causes regular periods to become a thing of the past. The ovaries are getting more and more fucked up. A ton of the girls I know don't have regular periods. The radiation effects the ovaries production, thus making the monthly period a thing of the past.

I don't think sex is sacred. It's just a really nice thing.
Also, maybe it's just my own experience speakign here, but why is "the first time" cracked up to be something extraordinary?
For me, and most of teh people i've talked about this with, teh first time was awkward, clumsy, and not really that good compared to later stuff.
Seriously, sex gets a whole lot better when you and your partner knows what the fuck you're doing.
If your wedding night is gonna be something really special in a good way, you're prolly betetr off with someone who has tried sex before.

 

[Radelaide]

I felt insulted that we were only given these three sinful answers to choose from, and no 'I do not choose to ever be defiled' option. God certainly doesn't want us to be flogging our bodies around everyone, now does he? Thankfully I chose castration at a relatively young age, and will never have to go through these terrible sinful acts.

Sex isn't a sin. It's a completely natural act.

Now, I don't think God would want us 'flogging our bodies around' like you say, but is virginity sacred, and should sex be kept between a married couple?

 

[Lizmichi]

Damn well I guess I missed that memo. Kinda funny today marks one year after I lost mine well I was engaged when I lost it. Was being the key word but I don't feel like saying why I'm not any more.
Anyway OT, I don't agree with this for many reasons. One, if the girl waits then the wedding night is... messy and painful as hell. *thinks back, shivers and cringes* Two, sex isn't about being married, to me at least; it's about trust, love and affection. Three, this may sound crazy but sex can be a good way to see how much someone cares about you. It's hard to explain and I could be wrong. Four, why the hell wait? God come on. As for it being something god would want then why would he give us raging hormones at like age 13 then? if that was the case then there girls wouldn't bleed till around 25 or so. So I don't think god wants us to wait. He just doesn't want us to be whores.

 

[WlknCntrdiction]

Nope, it's not a big deal. Just let people lose it when they want. What about the women that don't want to get married? What about women that would maybe like a sex life.

In short-
You've gotta test the car before you buy it.

See, if I'd waited till marriage and got a complete dud, I would be so pissed that I lost my virginity to him. I'd feel a touch ripped off

This. It would kill me(not literally obviously)if I had to wait until marriage to sleep with someone and then they turn out shit. You have sex over the years, you learn new things, about yourself, about your partners, it's healthy, it's natural. No sex before mariiage is(like others have said)a stupid and outdated concept.
Luckily I don't ever plan to get married, but that's another story for another thread

He is either joking or a troll... just ignore him.

 

[faceless chick]

yeah..so a man is telling women not to have sex?
awesome..australia really is backwards!

..
not a chance...even though the idea appeals to me on the sense that it'd reduce teen pregancies, it can't be done in today's world.

it couldn't be done in the middle ages(and lots of parents married their daughters at 14 to avoid them getting pregnant!) so nowadays it's impossible.

 

[bob-2000]

HAHAHHAhAHA... No. I will not wait until marriage. I don't care what the Christian wackjobs say, its my body.

Incidentally, isn't it funny how he's targeting women voters, yet telling them to refrain from pleasure while the men can do whatever they want with sex?

If your intercourse impacts the ovaries, You're doin' it wrong. (The only physical symptom of virginity is a Hymen that lacks a penis-shaped hole. Occasionally, the hymen is opened from strenuous activity, but as our race descends further and further into sedentary-ness, that will happen less and less.)

OT: I would like to preface this by stating that I am a guy, and so nerdy (& creepy) that any woman who would consent to sleep with me would be the kind that would make Jack [http://www.gamespot.com/showcases/mass-effect2?sid=6230520] look positivly sane and well-adjusted. Furthermore, Sex does not sound all that appealing to me (in any combination)

I just don't understand the appeal of that gooey interfacing designed to produce children.

Thank you for that I guess. But maybe you should reread what I wrote. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that the radiation from the phone is fucking up young womenfolk's menstrual cycle. So the 'monthly firsd' period will be a thing of the past in a couple generations, and physical activity for girls is increasing and the strain causes lots of girls to break their hymen early on. Periods will be a thing of the past.
