I am talking about girls who were at least a 9, if not a 10. Ok well, some were 8s also, but just a few. A few times, I would have 2 of these girls call me just because they wanted me so bad. I would always say no, because my mind was clear and my conscious was alive. I was saving myself for the special someone I would marry, and I considered "hanging out" cheating on her. Even though I had never met her before, I knew I would meet her some day. And after all those years, I am glad I did it. Just to be clear though, most calls were on the weekends, with a few on weekdays.

But college days were rediculous. I was the envy of all my friends that girls would call me for "hanging out", rather than the opposite. This not only made my male friends envious, but also my female friends, some of whom flat out asked me to have sex with them because the attraction of other girls attracted them to me. Again, I would say no.

Good man. Plenty of young men have litterally ruined their lives because they end up with kids before they turned 20 or had a chance to live at all or choose a path in life.

Yeah...good luck with that.

Worked out quite well for my brother. And two of my friends. And my cousins. And my parents too. And some other friends. And some other people I know. Need me to go on?

Worked for me too. I left the God part out, but either way it's the smart thing to do - doesn't matter if God told you to wait or you waited on your own.

I think its interesting. My previous relationship lasted about 17 months or so, it might be true!


"Love" as we know it modernly in the west is a cute institution of some religions and western society.

Everything in our nature speaks to other tendencies that don't revolve around monogamous relationships. Now that people are getting those pesky fake morals from the god damned Dark Ages out of the way these days, we're seeing these traits displayed more and more openly. This is why traditional institutions like waiting til marriage for sex, and never getting divorced, are crumbling with gusto. People are more or less tired of pretending these concepts have some logical basis in reality and have realized they no longer have to to keep the powers that be happy.

This has pissed off the old guard of "morality" (read: Falwell/Limbaugh type assholes), because they MUCH preferred the old system where you kept your cheating on your spouse secret and then looked down your nose at people who were exposed as doing so, and only the rich were allowed to do it. But that's just because people with this mindset like to control people and generally be holier-than-thou without actually taking any action to make themselves more impressive people. After all, raising your stock in the world takes work...it's a lot easier just to yell a lot about your beliefs and work Jesus and/or the Bible in there somehow.

What I'm getting at, in a roundabout fashion, is that we were never intended as nature's creatures to engage in this monogamous HORSE. SHIT., and the concept of "love = commitment" was pretty much cooked up back in the day by the church and social elites as a way of controlling the lower classes.

Thus, is it any wonder we get into a relationship and then find ourselves 12 months later wanting to fuck someone else? Of course not! The biological imperative to reproduce is designed that way. You get married to raise kids, but sexual attraction is just about making kids. One's a social institution, the other comes from biology.

It hardly seems strange that they're at odds with one another.

To put it nicely, that whole post is utterly full of crap. You go to my parents, my grandparents, or friends, etc, and try and tell them that. It won't fly.

Your words mean nothing. Don't envy those who actually have a plan for their life.

Yeah that's the 'story' people that didn't really do anything in college like to tell. I like at reunions the guys that everyone knew didn't tap crap start talking about back in the day how many girls they were tapping.

Most guys outside celebrity like ones (President, Quarterback, actor, etc) will have at most 2-3 chicks that have just been gagging for it and they said no. I have been there, when I was younger and just starting to study biology + having my mom in OB/GYN nursing at the time, I would make out and stuff but I was afraid to have sex...that passed pretty quick around 17ish.

Looking back it's a bit embarrassing and I have ran in to a few of those chicks out and about. We were friendly, but I know in the back of their mind they were wondering 'when the fuck did he figure out a woman?'.

I feel that it is somewhat unfair, I don't deserve her as much...I don't really how to explain it, but I wish I was a virgin for her... but again that sex from 16-24 was great stuff man ...lol
Now I know I am not getting any until we're married, if we do.

WHo the F is Shakespeare.

I am sorry, but I have a huge problem with Christians (and any zealot) that spews the I am better than thou doctrine and they don't even know WTF they are regurgitating.

I personally feel a child should not be able to pick a religion or be influenced by one until they are 12/13.

The majority of the followers out there in any religion have Santa Claus syndrome.

I think sexuality in the Bible was skewed by wanting taxes/tithes/virgins/etc.


anyway...if you really want to understand the bible read the history of the day at the same time. Contrast and compare what was happening in history vs the 'story'. Think about the financial reach of each character vs the 'story'. Think about the rules given and then what each character did in the 'story'.

I have found there is tons of contradictions. Also I have come to a conclusion that the islamic, christian, jewish, buddist, etc faiths are all very intertwined and probably sprang out of egyptian beliefs...but such discussion is not suited for general forums as too many of the brainwashed just barf dogma.

You can bash or mock it but with the US rate of divorce <over 50%>, maybe we could learn something there.

what about the men in those countries?

I'm pretty sure he broke down when he was 28, though. I don't know for sure, because I don't talk about sex with my breeder friends, it's just weird and awkward on both sides of the conversation, but if I had to guess, I'm near positive that he hooked up with a mutual friend's sister.

Quoted for ban-age.

That's a bit messed up...most are not considering breeding when having straight sex.

ok...just a word to the wise...until you have been there and done it, you are just working on hearsay.

Unless of course your virgin ass was running the video.

I am sure those dudes could also run down every name and description of each chick they banged too.

probably not really looking to have him banned but if that thread read 'my ass riding friends' or 'corn holing friends' etc it'd be a disaster.
