Just thinking about a buddy of mine, who lost his virginity around 15 - his girl became pregnant, now they have a baby and he cries that this is not the way of life he'd choose (he's younger than me actually).
The poll is kinda anonymous, you're not forced to worn everything inside out. Me - 18 |

Frankly, I don't remember at all. I said 18, could have been 17, but I'm very bad at counting back summers. I remember how and why and where it happened, but 2 years, it feels like I was a virgin again, or would if I didn't have someone to make that right

That's precisely why I never wanted to have a daughter. I know exactly how I was. 
But, it still didn't happen until I was 17 (not to imply that it's not still young). Now, after almost five years of celibacy, when (and if) it happens again, it will probably be a lot like the first time. ------------- a.k.a.

I wouldn't say I WANT to wait until marriage, but if that turns out to be the case it wouldn't bother me.
However, I do think it should be with someone you care about. Not like, someone you love and want to spend your life with, but you should at least care for them, (and vice versa). From what I've seen, it dosn't seem worth it to get someone just to have sex with. IMO of course...

had a couple chances but I'm not very attracted to intoxicated girls and I seem to have trouble with actual relationships so I'm a virgin at 21.
Does it bother me, well I can't say not entirely since I have a lot of 16-17 year old friends that are far from being virgins and they act like I'm a total loser for still being one. I think I'm more interested in women intellectual/conversationally than physically though, if I get into a relationship I wouldn't want it to be for sexual reasons, but someone who can carry a good conversation is much more appealing. ------------- "The rock and roll business is pretty absurd, but the world of serious music is much worse." - Zappa |

I was born and raised as a Catholic but now I can't get far enough away from it. But I'll agree with Equality that I'm glad there are practicing Catholics. There are far too many people with my beliefs who use them as an excuse to have a bad moral code. But fairly recently, I've come to my own realizations that there is nothing sacred about sex or marriage. I just turned 18 and I'm planning on losing it as soon as I can. |

Without a widespread belief in the sanctity of marriage(not necessarily in a religious sense) there will be a breakdown of the family unit. The family is the basic building block of society as generally noted by socialogists and historians. You'll be hard pressed to find a society without strong family units, or similar extended units such as clans. They just don't exist. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Girls and sex were the end of my (potentially) brilliant education results. I totally lost focus on my future needs as I focussed on the dangling appendage. Take heed, young ones! There is plenty of time for sex and all its wonders when the time is right ...and this is a message I am trying to get through to my own kids.

Those are just personal beliefs at the moment, very likely due to the fact I suffered a bitter rejection recently that I'm still strongly feeling the effects of. And by recently I mean over two months ago, by someone religious who I very much respected as a person. I'm not incapable of love, I just seriously believe now that there are better ways of finding it than the way I was going about it (the pathetic way that brought me to this bitter state in the first place). Doing a lot of thinking (in this bitter state of mind) just leads me to question the value of an age old ritual that our society so adamantly continues to advocate. I'm hoping that that special someone, should I ever meet them, shares the same belief. Though if not I certainly have no problem with marriage and subsequently loving and respecting my wife, till death do us part, etc. Just wanted to clear that up.
I absolutely agree. I still like the idea of having a family, despite the religious falling out. And I seriously doubt that's the religious upbringing talking (though I could be wrong).
If what you speak is true, consider me to be your humble servant. *bows* |
