I think Armok claims to be asexual.

More power to him then. A friend of mine is completely asexual, but it took him about eight years and a lot of confusion to finally work it out. He thought he was gay for at least three of those and tried to make himself attracted to men. I think that if someone claims to be asexual based off about a year of soul searching then they're making a massive mistake and really should consider their lives carefully.

Sex apparently involves biting off Elisa Wood's finger and then hurling yourself into a pit of magma deep in a wasteland realm of evil. You heard it here first!

This entire metaphor is laden with innuendo.

Especially the bit where you stick a ring on your finger before every part of your body is incinerated and you die in horrible agony.

My God. It's almost exactly like sex! I'll never look at Mount Doom the same way again.

Does this make Gollum a mohel?

At least we know what Tolkien's thoughts on the topic of Mount Doom being the mons veneris of Mordor although the size of it is enough to scare me. I think Tolkien had a thing for bigger women.

Gollum sounds a lot like something you'd cough when trying to get flem out of your throat. Consider it well.

Sex goes much better with love. Just like cake goes better with birthdays and weddings. Personally, I think the build up is really the fun part, after that, it's like, meh... boobs are nicer when you want to see them rather than after you see them.

You're not really missing out on anything, any more than say, you'd miss out on life without coffee. Or video games. Or other nice things in life. If you want it to be a special moment, then go ahead. You only lose your virginity once. Some people don't care much who they lose it with, some people really, really care and become like mad stalkers of their ex.

Just don't be one of those people who have sex because of peer pressure.

Unless it's group sex.

Then just seize the chance whilst you have it.

[Rilder]

Make sure you find the correct walk-through before you have sex. _[/xkcd]

[Armok]

3. it is in Armok's time-frame (when he's online, before he sleeps) and I dont know the account name....Armok if thats you quit fucking around.

Pretty sure it isn't Armok, Armok is more in the group of "I am celibate like Nikola Tesla." If I remember correctly.

This is correct.

This is hilarius.

I think Armok claims to be asexual.

I dont claim it, but I suspect it. Or atleast that my sex drive is significantly weaker than average. I dont really know or care, because regardles of what it turns out to be it dosnt mater because of above points.

You probably don't get enough exercise, fresh fruit or play the bagpipes enough, then. All are important to maintaining a decent sex drive.

Either that or severe depression.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Having no sex drive just makes celibacy easier to maintain and prevents a bunch of internal strife in my opinion.

[Jackrabbit]

Yeah, not having a sex drive isn't a bad thing. It's abnormal, but abnormal is not bad.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Having no sex drive just makes celibacy easier to maintain and prevents a bunch of internal strife in my opinion.

There's a reason that celibacy is considered such an important thing, and that's because sex is such a nice thing. If there was no reason to be tempted, then what's the point in denial? How can you claim to be immune to temptation if you've never tasted the forbidden fruit?

Surely you cannot claim to be TRULY celibate (or straight edge, or anything else) unless you have taken a bite of that delicious apple.

TL;DR: Don't knock it until you've tried it.

Yeah, not having a sex drive isn't a bad thing. It's abnormal, but abnormal is not bad.

I disagree, dude's missing out on a lot of fun times.

[Armok]

That argument is good if you do it for religious reasons, mine are biological, and I wont miss what I don't know.

[Jackrabbit]

I don't think that not having sex is something he needs to work on if he doesn't want to. It's not like you can't survive without it.

What was that about peer pressure again?

[Ephemeriis]

I'm sure we al have noticed the growing promiscuity of teenagers

What you've noticed is the growing publicity and relative puritanism of the media - not an actual increase in sexual interest on the part of teenagers.

Historically, we're (at least here in the US) very prudish right now.

Not all that long ago you would have been married and popping out children before 18...  But now we consider 18 to be the threshold of adulthood, and folks popping out children before then is frowned upon.  Hell, we tell most people to wait until after college to get married.

Pornography used to be considered fairly mainstream - remember "Deep Throat"?

We are simultaneously portraying a hyper-sexualized image of anything female, and acting as if sex is the most horrible thing ever.  We've got tiny little children wearing mini-skirts, and we're freaking out because teenagers are acting like teenagers have always acted.

I'm just wondering, why? Why is sex something that is sought out so much after by any means?

Because it feels good.

Not just the physical sensations of orgasm...  But being that close/intimate to someone.  Feeling the warmth of their body next to you, feeling their skin against you.  Feeling wanted, accepted, desired.

It's nice.

It seems like average teen just wants to have sex as soon as possible and doesn't matter who it's with.

That's actually no more or less true of modern teenagers than it has been of any human from any point in history.

Yes, teenagers are full of raging hormones.  They're horny.  They want to have sex.  But so does just about everyone else.  And this isn't a new thing.

Some folks have been jumping anything with the appropriate genitalia since the dawn of time.  Other folks are more selective.

The difference is that these days we hear about it constantly thanks to our media industry.

I've never really been one for the whole sex thing. It's not that I'm gay, don't care or asexual even, I just want to wait for someone I love before I have sex.

That isn't nearly as atypical as the popular media would lead one to believe.

After reading a few studies and surveys showing that the average person loses their virginity between 15 -17, I can't help wonder if I'm really the only one who wants to wait or if I'm just missing out on it by being so uptight

You kind of have to consider the phrasing of the questions...  And the age-group of the respondents...  Whether they're actually being honest or trying to sound cool...  What they considered "sex" or "losing their virginity"...

Now I wil admit that I had sex once in my life. It ended horribly and I deeply regret because I was in love with the girl and it turned out, she didn't even remotely fel the same about me

You need to differentiate more between sex and relationships.  While they frequently go together, and they're a lot of fun to have at the same time, they are two separate things.

Having a relationship does not necessarily lead to sex.  Nor does having sex necessarily mean you've got a relationship.

Im wondering if Im the only one who feels it would be best to wait

No, you aren't.  Although I wold suggest that you try to figure out what you're waiting for.

Some folks get this idea that they ought to save themselves for marriage...  But marriage is just a public ceremony - not necessarily some kind of magical transformation into a committed relationship.  I take my marriage very seriously, but lots of folks don't.

I don't think I'd suggest you wait for marriage (although, if that's your thing, go right ahead).  Although I also wouldn't suggest jumping anything with the appropriate genitalia (sex is fun, intimate, important - don't waste that).  Wait for the right person.  Someone you're close to.  Someone you can enjoy yourself with.  Not necessarily the love of your life...  But someone who you genuinely want to share something as important as sex with.

Just until you're actually in love. Not the bulshit that teenagers feel when they like someone, but actual love.

If you wait until you're genuinely in love, you'll probably be waiting a very long time.  Love isn't what most folks think it is.  What most folks think of as love is actually infatuation.

Love doesn't actually kick in until you've known the person for a good couple of years.

Genuinely speaking, most human beings have sex long before they're actually in love.  Hell, most folks these days get married before they're actually in love...  (hence the high divorce rate, because they don't actually love the person they're married to)

Am I just being uptight wen it comes to the subject or am I in the right for thinking this?

No.  To both your questions.

You aren't just being uptight...  But there isn't a right way either.  Different strokes for different folks.  And it'd be a very boring world if we were all the same.
