<p>Guess I'm lucky my own kids aren't into exploration, then. I have just been practical with them, pointing out the dangers of premarital sex, and they are thoughtful and smart. I don't take credit for it, I think it is their personalities or whatever. They see beyond the temptation.</p>
<p>No, they aren't lying to me because I'm repressive, either! I can just anticipate the way you fellows (?) think. You would be surprised to know that there actually are plenty of teens and young adults who are not experimenting with premarital sex. Not in the world you know, but they are out there.</p>
<p>Diesel was the one who called me a 'religious type'. Maybe he was fishing.</p>
<p>I wanna be brown, you strike me as a thoughtful and sincere person. Thanks for providing me with info. I have already heard these stats before. And I gotta say that while the world may be changing in some places, thanks to the ever-present sex scenes in movies and tv shows, there really are pockets of resistance. I can tell you my own kids aren't weird and warped just because they don't participate in what appears to be everyone 'doing their thing'. </p>
<p>Sorry to the OP, that this has gotten to be a side tangent. Guys, whaddaya say we stop this? After you have the last word?</p>
<p>i'm the one who called you a "religious type?" i'm pretty sure you're the one who posted :

Well, guess I have been shunted to my side of the room, where the 'religious types' go, right?

<p>I doubt you really know what they're doing when they're with the opposite sex or significant other. Of course they're not going to tell their mom, "Hey, me and my girlfriend were making out. Things got a bit hot and heavy, next thing you know she's going down on me. But don't worry, mom, I used a condom!" </p>
<p>I'm sure they are smart and thoughtful, but being smart and thoughtful does not equal not having premarital sex. You can be and do both, they are not related.</p>
<p>There is nothing wrong with getting laid.. I mean, if you ppl are so suspicious of your partner and can't put your faith into them, then what is the point of marriage or love affair?
Having sex is a choice, it comes with consequences; as lovers, sex is the epitome of the loving affair. To have sex means to procreate, we can avoid it by having condom and adopting other preventive measures. But once we do that, we no longer are creating anything. In fact, we are acting on our egos for the sake of pleasure. I don't see anything wrong with having sex just for the heck of it.
If your lover gets pregnant, then take the responsibility for it. Either do an abortion or marriage if you still love your woman.
The skeptical attitudes held by women against men are really insecurity. Since we men no longer have the responsibilities of courting a woman(because we are equal, courting women nowadays has became an offense to female indepedence), women have started to have those insecure mentalities of not belonging to someone due to the expansion of freedom of choice(you always have a choice, you don't need to commit). I blame it all on feminism, the biased ideology which defies traditions without paying the bloody price for it.
As feminism progresses, it is less likely that male will behave in their gentlemen way, because the very phrase of gentleman, commitment, or having sex after marriage comes with chauvinist,sexist, or fundamentalist price tags. See my point here? Having sex after marriage has hitherto became religious fundamentalism, and ppl like that should be burned on the stake! lol</p>
