Have you seen the billboards these people put out?
Virgin is not a dirty word, but that does not mean I need to see it while driving down the road.
Amen.
Even so, too much focus can be made on avoiding something and not enough on wholesome, passionate productivity elsewhere.
The way to maintain it is to find a bunch of appropriate things about which one is passionate so as to not be dwelling on the physical passion. The pilot light will always be on, wait for the honeymoon to turn on the main burner and nobody gets burned that way.
Those who brag about their exploits seldom are honest about the pain of their relationships past and present—and there are many ways they medicate that pain.
I know there is a lady out there who I has lived her life in hope of meeting me—there are new virgins being born every day!
Nobody wants a used car if for the same price (lifetime commitment) a new one is available. Don’t be taken for a high-speed test drive by an insincere tire-kicker who’s not serious about buying.
For a lot of people, though, a decent used car makes perfect sense....
You know, (I for one); (AND BTW: I read your comments before seeing it was YOU Mtn Flower! ;)) I would rather have a connection with a girl, that leads to true love (and possibly marriage; in the Biblical context “love your wife as Christ does the church”)! I have not “done it yet”(trying to put this as “uncrudely” as possible) but I have seen enough examples of, in the world, that I don’t wanna do it their way!
Take Care,
Jeremy. ;)
There are new virgins being born every day... Interesting...
Meanwhile in realityville:
Yes, you have a new car that hasn’t been driven by anybody, but....
Was your new car built by people that haven’t built a car before? In all likelihood, no. If it was, it would be shoddy.
You have to have experience in the bedroom to become a perfect lover for your spouse. If you wait until marriage, your sex life will be dull because you put an emphasis on the sex than the marriage and pretty soon, the thrill of sex wears off.
LOL, this reminds me of a story I told my girlfriend’s dad at the time.
“So why are you having premarital sex with my daughter” I responded to him, as a snot nosed 22 year old kid “I’m not having premarital sex with your daughter, I’m not planning on getting married to her.”
I was thrown out of the house the next minute.
You obviously think this is cute. I think it's too bad he didn't kill you on the spot.

May you have a dozen children and they all be girls.
So you don’t have a problem if your wife had screwed every guy she could before marrying you? That’s essentially what you are saying.
How come you can only be a good lover by having sex with more than 1 individual, but you can’t by having sex with only one? That’s absurd.
Pretty much you described most of my girlfriends.
.
To expand on my earlier thought, plenty of people in a suitable age range are always waiting for someone else of appropriate age. Some wait forever and that’s sad. All accomplishment involves some risk—and that includes moving a great friendship to a marital state. I’ve developed some great friendships of integrity and will develop more and one of these days, will marry one of these and have to tell no lies to the rest.
The new car/new virgin metaphor stands up to your logic.
The car’s design is of universal function and so is the biological design of humans.
Nothing amateurish about the design of either—well considering the Yugo—at least not of the latter. ;^)
But considering the various fluids, I wouldn’t want to be a driveway under some cars.
I think that’s a great article, and it’s good to see there are some people out there that want to maintain a sense of modesty and purity. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one that is saving myself for my future husband. The culture push grows so overwhelming sometimes that I consider giving up. It is at this point that I begin to pray. Articles like this show me that I am not alone. I only hope I can be so fortunate as to perhaps find a guy like the guys mentioned in the article.
Leave it to Cornell professors to but a kibosh on purity. Good grief.
A young couple in our church, who have been going together for some time now, at 18 years of age have never kissed or been kissed by another person, not even each other. They are both waiting to be sure that this relationship is the one God wants, and I have no doubt that sex will never happen until they are both married. It’s refreshing in this day and age to see kids act like this. They’re great young people.
ME, TOO. Especially now that I have three beautiful (really beautiful—not just grandma’s bias) granddaughters (two of whom are teens). I’m a ‘grandma gap-stander’ when it comes to my grandchildren and I stand in the gap for all of them.
Same way with my first husband, although I do wish I’d waited until AFTER we got married. I still feel sad about that.
Hell,I didn’t”get any”till I was 20 and well into college.I got tired of the insinuations that I was a “fag”or a punk and I put an ad in an underground paper explaining my”problem”.
I got some,allright.With a grossly obese 18 year old white chick who was the daughter of a minister AND a Scientologist.
Made me wish I had STAYED a virgin!
