In thinking about how I wanted to make this post without making it personal, I really came up with nothing. but a lot of rambling. My LJ entry looked/read a lot better than what I had before, so I had to scrap it. Instead, these are questions I gotta ask, partially for me, partially for everyone else who is making this statement… I don’t think I can come up with anything more coherent than this at the moment, and for that I apologize.
However, your thoughts/answers are MOST appreciated.
I gotta ask women out there…
Men as well…
Does sex really prove your worth?
Does waiting 1 day, or 100 days really make a difference in the type of person you are?
If you have sex on the first day, does that mean you’re worth nothing compared to the person who waited 100 days?
Does giving it up really destroy your image as a GOOD PERSON even though it’s one of our most basic internal instincts and denying it means insanity?
Does me not having sex make me better than you? Does you not having sex mane you better than me?
Are females insecure if they give it up so early? Can’t they just want it as badly as men without succumbing to the double standard?
For the moment, let’s leave out the terms “marriage,” “pregnancy,” and “disease,” and let’s assume we’re talking about safe sex here. If you’re not having safe sex or taking precautions, then you’re just being dumb.
I’m always an advocate of waiting, I waited until marriage, not really because of a sense of self worth, but just for the sake of getting to know a person that you are going to share something so intimate with.
