I’m still a virgin at 33. Not by choice, I just haven’t been successful at attracting a husband. I’ve never had a boyfriend, either. I just don’t get asked out on dates.
The world can be cruel to some of us. I wish you luck.
But my wife's sardonic comment covered it best:
"He liked a lot to love."
Cheers!
But...but...hou could y’all go and do that! They’re so obviously freaks! /MUCHO SARCASMO
Thanks. It’s not the worst thing in the world, but it can get frustrating in a society that treats people like us as weirdos or like we don’t exist.
YUK!!! I HATED so-called French kissing. I went steady with a boy at 16 who French kissed, and I was stupid enough to allow it. (No excuse; but I was green as a gourd and thought it was just how you kissed.)
It turned out to be degrading to both of us and we ended up breaking up disgusted with each other. I think a lot of people are sickend by it and it becomes not a long term thing that people do into marriage after the excitement wears off. In fact, I’m not really sure than I didn’t contract mononeucleosis from French kissing. It is just a horrid memory to me.
Someone who is disgusted by french kissing would be even more disgusted by some other very normal sexual activities.
Exactly my point.
There are a lot of depressed people who need antidepressants.
For a number of guys, they don't get married before 40 either because they have no problem attracting female companionship and prefer having a series of long-term relationships, or because they preferred working on building up their careers or business.
Then they get to be 40, and decide it's time to get married and have some kids while they still have the energy to deal with them.
Your 40 year old female friends don't have to worry about what to do with such, though, because this segment is looking for a 30 year old woman who is still able to easily have multiple children before her fertility runs out.
For 40 year old single women, it's a different story. For the most part unless they look like Michelle Pfeiffer or Cate Blanchett, they're either going to need to settle for what they can get, or be resigned to living without male companionship.
I think fr_freak was taking SeaHawkFan’s remark in #10 about not bothering with middle-aged never-married men, and throwing it back in her face.
“NORMAL” is in the eye of the beholder.
Read Song of Solomon. Bet there is lots of references to things you would probably not consider “normal”, but are perfectly Biblical.
I am not a “her”.
thanks for your kind words. it’s hard to be single. so many people want to judge you...
Have read Song of Solomon. Don’t recall “French Kissing” being mentioned. - Clinton’s favorite pasttime either, nor sodomy. Sodomy was mentioned earlier in the Bible; where Sodom & Gomorrah got destroyed with fire and flaming sulfur missiles. - Do as you please, or as the Bible says, “him who is filthy, let him be filthy STILL . . .”.
Maybe those partners of yours aren’t as crazy about “French Kissing” as you think. - Oh, I consider it “filthy” because I contracted MONONEUCLEOSIS from it and ended up in the hospital. - Technically, I doubt the Lord made a specific law against it.
A friend recently celebrated his 69th wedding anniversary. I asked him what it takes to stay together that long and be as happy as him and his wife are. He replied, “Two people who are good at saying, “I’m sorry and/or I forgive you.”
My wife and I are past our 30th anniversary and we never argue. Seriously, never. If I want her not to do something, I’ll think about it for a few hours and figure out how to ask her without insulting her. It may take a couple of days before I decide that she is in the ‘right’ mood to accept to my suggestion. Or I’ll decide that I am being selfish or whatever by asking her to change and just forget it.
Why Some Men Have Dogs And Not Wives:
1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
2. Dogs don’t notice if you call them by another dog’s name.
3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
4. A dog’s parents never visit.
5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
6. You never have to wait for a dog; they’re ready to go 24 hours a day.
7. Dogs find you amusing when you’re drunk..
8. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
9. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, “If I died, would you get another dog?”
10. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
11. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert..
12. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don’t get mad. They just think it’s interesting.
13. Dogs like to ride in the back of a pickup truck.
And last, but not least:
14. If a dog leaves, it won’t take half of your stuff.
To test this theory: Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who’s happy to see you.
You need to read a good book on Song of Solomon. Tommy Nelson’s “The Book of Romance” or the Penners “The Gift of Sex”.
Do what you want, but don’t try to argue that SoS makes no reference to OS.
Just because you are opposed to certain activities doesn’t make you an authority on God’s permissive will about sex within marriage.
And BTW, I have not had sex outside of marriage.
I’m NOT trying to tell anyone ANYTHING. I’m merely stating MY experience, which was not pleasant (mono from French Kissing is NOT pleasant). - Neither are YOU an authority just because you are pushing an agenda or have an “opinion”. - What anyone else does is between themselves and the Lord.
