If sex is a gift, how come it's only a gift for us and not for other species of life on the planet? Some creatures mate for life but many others do not. Are those abusing this gift?
Sex is a biological function. It's a fantastically entertaining and fun biological function but that is what it is. Assigning it some positive or negative merit in and of itself is ridiculous. It can only be assigned merit, either positive or negative, due to the nature of the interactions of the people participating in it.
That era had no contraception, knowledge of STDs was naught, and there were no vaccinations. Soap didn't become the norm in upper-class Western civilization until the mid-to-late 1800s, thus there was no sanitation. Your point is moot.
No it's not..it's completely relevant as it indicates how promiscuous people were despite their moral code and how many had those attitudes towards sex. You're implying that lack of hygiene automatically equals STDs.
You know, I first had sex (back then they called it losing your virginity) when I was younger than I should have been, and now I rather regret that it happened, because sex lost its mystery, its excitement, and became another biological function.
I've been monogamous for ages -- or at least nearly monogamous -- my partner and I shared a few flings, and I think this may be partly because I too young learned that sex promises the world and generally only delivers problems.
Is this possible? I mean is it such that people who have sex too young become jaded -- well, not really "jaded," but just less excited than if they had to wait a little longer?
I think the only thing that matters is that you are smart and safe about it. If you are looking for love - then don't hop into bed with every person you meet thinking they will fall in love with you on the first date if you put out. And if you don't want a baby or one of those lovely STD's - be safe. But if you are looking for casual sex, and you know what you are getting into, and you are safe - I don't see a problem.
I've had sex in relationships and out of relationships. It was better in relationships but I don't regret any of the decisions I made.
I say it's OK. My wife and I had sex before we started a relationship. Sex was a vital part of the process of sharing ourselves with each other. Been happily married to this angel for nearly 24 years.
When we first met, I could hardly wait to see the gorgeous woman in all her naked glory, and when I did, yeeeeee haaaah! Wait until we start a relationship to experience that? You're nuts. The feeling was mutual I discovered. In fact, the relationship was started while in the act.
Thank God for the passage of time and the elimination of these stupid conservative ways of looking at topics like this.
Boy, I sure hope I find someone like you!
