Virginity: Thread 1 of the TR Sewer, as built by Jaqui ?? ]:)
Ok, oddball thread, but you should know me by now?.. This is accidentally in response to Jaq?s suggestion of controversial topics, so it?s all his fault. :D
Having had a recent conversation with a colleague about loss of virginity (its all to do with kids; let?s not go there) it started me thinking. (Bad sign)
What do you think is the right age to lose your virginity? Is there a right age? Does it depend on actual or physical age? Does it depend on emotional maturity? Does religion influence this to any extent these days? Does marriage have anything to do with sex any more, and if so why or why not?
I only ask because on thinking back (no, you don?t get to know how long!) I think I did the right thing, at the right time, both physically and emotionally, but not necessarily with the right person; but hey, that?s hindsight for you.
I lost my virginity at 14. A bit young, some may say, but it was part of a rebellion in a way. I?d been seeing the same guy since I was 11 ? we actually didn?t split up till I was 16. Emotionally ? where my feelings for him were concerned ? I was quite mature. No one around me had any of the slightest intentions of marrying while still a virgin; it was more ?trendy? to have some experience: it got the fumbling out of the way (for the most part) and it was supposed to educate people on how to love their partners better, i.e. to gain more satisfaction for both parties.
Way back then, everyone had intentions of marrying. Some of us even went to church till we were in our teens. Although from a staunch Methodist family, I must admit I went the rebellious route, and ended up having stand up arguments with my mother on church attendance, sexual morality and goodness knows what. I suppose that?s also the reason for marrying at age 20; not because I was pregnant, but because it was the only way I could a) get out of my parents house and b) live with someone of the opposite sex.
Being girls, and being educated in a Grammar School for Girls, we didn?t brag about loss of virginity; unfortunately some of the boyfriends did, so it was really common knowledge regarding who and who hadn?t ?done it?. Again, the education I was in stifled me too, I think. Between the church rules and the school rules, there was bound to be a rebellion.
So ? thinking back, would I have done the same again? Probably, but I think I would have left losing my virginity for a couple more years. Till about 16, I think. Although the guy was five years older than me ? and that caused problems, too! ? I think I was the more mature of the pair of us. Having said that, I don?t think he would have been around when I?d been 16 if we hadn?t had sex. But I don?t regret it.
I don?t regret it because there has only been one person in my life for whom I would have saved my virginity, but had I stayed a virgin for that length of time, I know I would have been a completely different person, with a completely different outlook.
You know, the smutty remarks, the impure thoughts, knowing all about designer underwear, basques, stockings, suspenders, crotchless nix and all??.. nah, wouldn?t be me, would it??
For all the TR girls out there - What I am curious to know is: that plastic surgery which doesn?t ?replace? your virginity, but does ?repair? it ? would any of you ever do it? That?s a no from me, you know the health reasons why. But would any of you? Why? Or why not?
Guys: does it really make THAT much difference if a woman is a virgin or not?
Ok ? on your marks.
Get set.
Go!
