wow... there is a LOT of talk about Virginity.

sheesh my first time, I didn't know what was going on.

I was molested at a young age and other things. I grew up with old men grabbing me and didn't know any better. I was not taught the truth about sex, just that it was dirty, for some reason or other I was told I was asking for it and always got in trouble for letting old men touch me.
When I was 13 a boy tried to have sex with me but I made him stop, I didn't know it was sex.
At 14 I was 'almost' raped. to this day I am happy I had a pant that was hard to take off. oh and plus the idiot was drunk and passed out in my mom's room. To this day my mom thinks he was my first.
At 17 I was almost raped again.... he was a friend, telling everyone I was his woman (I was really his sister's friend) out of nowhere he attacked me. Thru the years of dealing with dirty old men, boys, whatever... I had taken Karate an fought my way out of it (all through high school I was attacked a few times)
I never dated in school but I meant someone durning summer and we fell in love and I finally had my first love making experience.....of course it had to mature. too bad he never did.
We were married (with no paper) for 11 years ... again raped, I failed.

Now I am remarried (his parents wanted paper) and loving it.
I am safe, finally happy, I still have my sanity and pride.
but I guess it is true with once you are raped it follows you and keeps on happening.......because I attract all these losers.

I voted for wait for marriage---keep them legs closed

Only with someone you love.

Besides, the first time is so awkward...who wants a stranger knowning that about you!!!

We laugh all the time about that first time.

Kids today dont understand responsibility and priorities. At least in my area. I know some people who think they are mature enough to have a kid but not ready to get married ?!?!?! Maybe Im old fashioned but having a mother AND father, husband AND wife, for your kid is very important. And it is all sex sex sex. Who did who, who did it without a condom, who is bad in bed. It makes me crazy and that is one of the reasons I cant stand kids today. (And by kids I mean 15-25 year olds)

Red face some thoughts

I voted for 'if you're in love' but then again some folks fall in love as frequently as changing their underwear... I would hope for some level of committment before jumping in the sack, but that's one of those "do as I say, not as I do"--guilty as charged...anyway...I think it is good to have a 'test-drive' in any case. My ex and I were 18 when we married (divorced 3 years later). I found out the hard way (no pun intended) that he couldn't "get it up to get it in". That's a pretty awful thing to deal with... especially when you are so young and 'in love'. Love does not conquer all...and there was no viagra around at the time........

I don't think waiting for marriage is soooo important. When the fact of the matter is jumping the gun too soon. If young adults are mature enough to handle the responsibility of all cause and effects of having sex, then who's to say they should or shouldn't. I don't think there is a certain age to say when one is ready or not, but when the time comes one should realize the moment. If they're ready...go ahead, if not...wait. :dancing45

up until recently i thought this way, then i found out that my very young cousin was already sexually active. i thought about it for a while then i realized that she made her own decision, however silly that it seems to other people.

the boy that she was with is just as bad, he is her same age. i want to bring up both of them because i think that it is unfair to put the load on females, when males do it too.(obviously)
so now, for her i guess she did what she wanted.
for me though i just couldnt go there at the age that she is, i was still interested in cartoons and video games at that age.

I think that it is best to wait, but that is not an easy thing to do. However if one chooses to have sex before marriage they better be careful cuz they could be playin with fire!! People can fool ya :flaming:

As for "kids today" not understanding responsibility and priorities, that is true in a lot of cases, but not in my case. I'm 20 yrs old, and I've only loves 1 other person before my boyfriend now, and I didn't even sleep with him (my 1st love that is). My boyfriend (now) and I waited 9 months before even doing the deed:p. I fully understand my responsibilities and priorities. Yes having kids is on my list, but its not my #1 priority. I'm 20, I'm still young, and still in school. I'd rather finish school first and make a life for myself before I can even consider bringing a little one in this world.

Sorry not trying to start an argument or anything, just saying what I feel, and that "kids today" statement doesn't go for everyone that are in the age range 15-25.

I was brought up Catholic, never thought I'd have sex with a guy before marriage, but I did. Does that make me bad? No. Most of the responses here have been light-hearted. That's cool. I have to agree most with Superndngyrl, about finding out if one is compatible before being married. This isn't grandma's day when we were pretty much told who to marry. Because of birth control women were given the 'freedom' to 'do what feels good'. Responsibility has sort of gotten left out of the equation and now with all the STDs out there it is plain foolish to not be more particular and discerning.

Ideally I guess I think a guy and gal meet, hang out or maybe they hang out in a group and are friends first then realize there is a mutual attraction. Then, in either case, after determining whether you are both motivated by the same thing (lust, long term relationship, whatever) you end up in the sack. Here is a true story. I met this great looking guy through work. About six-three, had a good paying job, several cars, treated me nice--we dated for a couple of months, went to Church together and then went to the mountains one weekend. All we'd done to that point was some heavy necking on the couch fully clothed (I should add, I was 23 to his 31). There we are on this rug in front of the fire in this mountain cabin (bearskin, no kidding) and we end up naked as the day we were born and this super nice guy was blessed with a you know what smaller than my pinkie. Couldn't get it up, or in. OMG! The 'moral' of my story is. Test drive! I would've been one unhappy lady if I'd gotten to the altar. No amount of money, morals or character will compensate for a less than satisfying sex life.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly choaked to death laughing.... Too funny!!! :rofl2: :rofl2: Moral of the story: Try before you Buy...
