here is a helpful tip: your virginity does not matter

sex will change very little in your life as long as you are not stupid and do it safely

fuck if you want
or dont

it doesnt matter

I Think it just depends on who you lose your virginity to and how often you just have occassional sex. man a virgin ladies if you are one of those you should stay one intill you find one thats worthy enough to take it away from you. because once its gone it doesnt come back and when you lose it to the wrong person you end up feeling real shitty i know i did. haveing sex is like magic makeing love is like a fairy tale. cant just any oh scrub be your prince charming. i wish i was still one Frown! The Topic Of Occasional sex ladies irs bad not attractive and can potienaly be harmful becareful like i said dont every random deserve whats in between them legs i know that now i wish i would have when i was 15! now im stable have i good relationship and only being intimate with him! Razz think before you let it go and be safe

I hate to revive such an old post but i beg to differ. some people actually do wait.

I'm sure some people do, but I am sure the percentage is small. I think people that wait to have sex until marriage to make it special don't really understand. Just because it's your first time doesn't mean it's special.

quote:
did not sleep around like a sleaze/slag and did not have more than a handful of partners
As long as your partner practiced safe sex and tested clean, it doesn't matter how many partners they had, be it 1 or 100. The number doesn't matter as long as you don't contract an STD.

quote:
I prefer the idea of waiting for someone you love before you do anything. Sex with someone you don't care about kind of sucks.
I think that's a matter of personal preference. Sex with someone you love is special, definitely, but that doesn't mean casual sex sucks. All a matter of what you're looking for.

it all depends on when you lose your virginity,
is it when you have consentual sex? or when you have sex whether it was consentual or it was raped? because in my case i was raped, does that mean i'm not a virgin anymore? i don't think so, i think i still am because i never did give consent so really i guess i would have two answers to this thread, depending on what you think is losing your virginity


Don't stand by the sidelines and wait for somebody else to do something, because that somebody else might never come

Virgin or not does not really matter as long as he/she had practice safe sex with his/her previous partners and did not sleep around like a sleaze/slag and did not have more than a handful of partners. Personally that is important to me.

There isn't any big deal about sex, you're right. I think it's more of a moral thing (like it should be with that one person and no one else) that is the reason people wait until they're married.

I heard on NPR that 25% of college students are virgins. I'm not sure if this was for entering college or after college though; they did not say.

I really see no big deal with sex as long as you use protection and are willing to deal with the emotional and sometimes physical consequences that can come with it.

I've met three people who are willing to wait. Who knows if they will (you are one of the 3 if I am assuming correctly that you are waiting.)

I prefer the idea of waiting for someone you love before you do anything. Sex with someone you don't care about kind of sucks.

why exactly are we having this discussion? as we've already established, it's really boiled down to choice, isn't it? as to the girl have to wait and guys don't thing, it's been that way since forever. it's the male being more important than female thing( which is kinda funny because all men are born from women, but i digress).

that is allSmile

There really is nothing wrong with sex if you use protection and you aren't stupid about it. If you want to have multiple partners or one partner or just wait, it's your decision.

I just think it's messed up the way girls are expected to wait while guys are allowed to mess around.

Society is screwed up.

Maybe you should review my posts before-hand.
Because you never seem to find the foulness nestled in my posts.

Oh. Allright then. (about the mod thing).

Well, I have a problem with what you say about the whole sex-marriage thing. Sex is not "just a biological means of production," or else we would not be having this conversation at all.

And- assuming that you believe humans are what we are today because of evolution- what would possess them to create a concept that would make it harder for them to have babies? (since marraige generally requires that two people "look" for each other, "find" each other, and THEN have babies.)

[QUOTE
And love can ALWAYS be a trick and a lie. Millions of people every day get divorced because they find out that what they thought was real, really wasn't. QUOTE]

And as for the millions of people who get divorced, I think that that has less to do with whether or not their love was "real," and more to do with how prepared they were to get married in the first place, and their commitment to hang on.

I'm not saying divorce is ALWAYS wrong, or anything. I just think that it's way overrated, and way oversimplified. Love isn't just a feeling. It's a choice, too.

the reason young men are so much against a girl hanging on to her virginity (which is a good thing, since it shows that she treats her body like a temple, and not an amusement park), is because a girl giving up her virginity benenfits the guys. let's face it, guys like sex a lot more than girls do. it's not just a random fact. it's a survival instinct that's still ingrained in the nature of the male species. that instinct tells the males that in order to ensure the survival of the species, the males must impregnate as many females as possible, to make sure that there are enough offsprings to "carry on." and although human have evolved and are now much more civilized and intelligent than their bestial species, that instinct still lingers, also partly due to the pleasure that is entailed with sex. so, even though men tries to be faithful to their spouses, it is in their nature to mate and impregnate as many female as possible. so, in short, when guys argue that it is naive and "old-fashioned" for a girl to hang on to her virginity, it's reallly the guy's hedonistic, as well as instinctive side, talking. as for my point of view on the issue, it's really depends on the girl's values. if she believes in freedom of the individual, then it is within her rights to have sex with as many partners as she likes (at the cost of being branded a prostitute, which is funny, since apparently, hanging on to your virginity makes you a "naive buttercup," but giving it up makes the girl a prostitute), and if the girl values her body, as well as sexual health, as well as her reputation (which really isn't as important as the other two, since who cares what people think of you anyway, but i digress), then by all means, she should hang on to her virginity. it is a good thing after all. but when everything is said and done, it really depends on opinion.

that is all Smile

I'm sorry. I've been a bit mouthy lately because there seem to be no more mods. I honestly thought they would have deleted this little bit. (sort of a test for the mods.)

Sex and marriage don't really work together. Marriage is just a concept that humans created and sex is just our biological means for reproduction.
