you crack me up!

Seriously though, i can kind of identify with that statment... my biological timeclock is ticking (ladies 30+ uknowhadimean) and sometimes waiting for Mr.right-for-me makes me think the timeclock is more like a timebomb :explode: - lol - and since my very first car was a Pinto (literally) I know the value of doing a lot of research even before the test drive phase. :rofl2:

There's been some great posts for both points of view - both the hold-outs and the give-it-outs and everything inbetween...

It reminds me of a joke I heard when I was in college - Sex is like Pizza... when it's good, it's reeeallly good. And when it's bad... it's still pretty darn good!

(I dunno about that one - I'm from Chicago and lemme tell ya that there's big difference between Gino's deep dish and grocery brand cardboard with mozzerella topping! :blushing: )

I saw somethin' recently on the History Channel...about the history of fast food and they highlighted Chicago Deep Dish pizza! Darn did that look good! I've NEVER had pizza that looked that good. I may have to fly to the Windy City just for dinner....:6:

I think it's important to wait until marriage. There's always that chance that you will become pregnant (my mom was on birth control when she became pregnant w/ me If I was pregnant, I would want to know that my child would have a father, and that both of our families recognized us being together.

My dad just said...in every decision you make...think about how it will affect your future children....So that's the lil' bit of wisdom i stick with.

oh yeah and...just a thought

I listened to this elderly native woman once...she said "the first man you make love with is your husband. Even if you marry someone else....he will always be your husband."

Smaller than you pinky? Couldn't get it up or in? To damn funny.

Now how about this situation. You know somebody, spend lots of time with them, take week long trips with them outta town,sleep in the same bed with them, but yet don't touch me like that. It either :
1. I to stressed out
2.I got a headache
3.I to tired
4.I don't like to be woke up like that in the morning
5.My ex was like that,and that annoyed me
6. My ex was well built but I had to fake it all the time
7. My ex blah,blah,blah
She sure did like to get her feet rubbed, and her back, and her face,but don't do nothing else. And she couldn't figure why things went sour in that relationship?

Ill vote no. What is 'marriage'? To me,marriage has ZERO to do with the government,or any pieces of paper. Im married when i and my elders say I am. Vv? To be a virgin when officially married (as in the ceremony,or if u choose,church wedding) i dont think is a blanket answer. I personally think its up to the individual,but there is a lack of understanding amongst young people especially,as to what lovemaking or sex is,and the repurcussions from it.

I also believe your body is your temple, you decide if you want it to come crashing down on you. I'm glad I waited until I was in my late 20's. I was more educated about it and I was fortunate not to contract a disease. That's the scary part. I can't say if it would be better to wait until you are married, because if you know what you are doing, it shouldn't be a problem for your marriage. Just be more educated and read up, that's the only way you become more knowledgeable.

Oh my! I don't know weather to laugh, or to be serious... I know a certain elder in my area bugs me all the time about someone I used to have the hots for.....

I always had the idea that I would keep my virginity until I was married. This idea or more like a belief was held until I was in love with my first love. I loved him so much and I still waited a year and a half after I realized I was in love. It wasn't until I thought I was going to marry him that I finally gave it to him. I have no regrets. I am no longer with him for many reasons...but I am very happy to say that I have no regrets.

I have a crazy aunt who is about two years older than me told some young girls from our community that it has been so long, her cherry grew back. She also said she found cobwebs on her diaphram. Those young girls who were all 18-20 were totally horrified that a "dignified woman" was talking like that. What made it really funny was that my aunt is usually very straightlaced and no nonsensed.

Good thread though. If I could go back I would try to learn a lot more first. We are raised differently. Men are taught that it is just sex and most women are raised to believe it should be something meaningful. For me I believe that a healthy sex life is important but that it should be with somebody who is important to you in your life cause it is a personal event, regardless of what we are taught.
