I really don’t think people who call LoveLine are representative of people who have pre-marital sex. After all, anyone in a in healthy relationships wouldn’t be calling, would they?

Can I shove my virginity up your ass?

(JFTR, although I’m still virginal myself I’m do understand what the OP is complaining about - those who look down their nose sneeringly at someone who’s had sexual experience outside of marriage.)

Just to even this survey out, I don’t have a big dick. And I’d prefer a non-virgin just the same.

I don’t think this OP means what you think it means. Ya wanna keep it your pants until you get married? More power to you. But the fact that I got my groove thing on before I was married doesn’t make me any less of a person. Taking a moral stand for something you believe in is great. Climbing on top of that hill to denounce anything else as wrong, well then you can kiss my little white butt. 🙂

Well, I asked _my_ big dick about whether he prefers the unspoiled or not, but it was busy playing video games and ignored me.

I understand that there are all kinds of reasons for putting off sex until marriage, and plenty of them are good ones. But the fact that somebody lets the cherry go unplucked alone doesn’t have a fucking (har) thing to do with whether they’re a better person than me or not, or whether they lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. My girlfriend and I were positively slutty before we met eachother, yet we built a loving and comitted relationship with no problem, thankyouverymuch.

If my dick weren’t setting off NORAD every time it leaves the house, I’d use it to beat the those virgins with the holier-than-thou complex about the head and bottom.

I’ve had a few virgins. The training of virgins really takes a lot of time, patience, and energy.

I do prefer someone who’s been around the block.

I don’t for a moment think that it is representative. It is, however, informative, particularly to teenagers. My point was, and is, that maintaining virginity is a laudable goal. Not necessarily for each and every person, but a goal to be admired nonetheless.

And yes, it is preferable to pre-marital activity. The sheer facts are this: virginity does not result in any of these situations:

HIV/AIDS transmission  
all the STD’s,  
pre-marital pregnancy/abortion

The first two are life-threatening conditions. Only a fool insistent on his or her own viewpoint would then continue to equate risky behavior with non-risky behavior. Like it or lump it, sexual activity is NOT risk free. Sometimes the wisest course is to do nothing. A horny teenage boy is not entitled to ‘dis’ those who choose not to take the risks associated with sexual activity. The costs are shared by all, not just that over-eager hyper-hormonal boy.

</div>

I’ll go you one better, **Tuck**. I think people who stay virginal long after they are sexually mature are unnatural. In my opinion, the whole concept of virginity until marriage was thought up by men 2000 years ago (give or take) so they could be sure that _they_ were the father of the children their mate had. Oh, btw, that’s _female_ virginity, of course. Traditionally, nobody really cares what the guys are doing.

Catholic. Not a virgin. Not married, never have been. Also, not one of my not-yet-married Catholic friends is a virgin (or, they are lying to us all. Possible, but doubtful).  
My friends who have decided not to have sex before they married are usually the born again/fundamentalist types.

Just to clarify.

Hmmm, I’ve had sex with about fifteen Catholic guys. Only one of them was married to me. Apparently they weren’t reluctant to engage in premarital sex.

[pedant mode]It’s quite possible to be a virgin with AIDS/HIV. And most, but not all, STDs are not life-threatening.[/pedant mode]

Okay, be a nerfherder. The point stands: virginity does NOT result in sexually transmitted disease, some of which most assuredly are life-threatening. Sexual behavior, while not the exclusive mode, can and does transmit potentially life-threatening disease. As the parent of three teens, two boys and one girl, I sincerely pray they remain virginal until marriage. A hopelessly unreasonable attitude, to judge by what seems to be mostly male responses to this thread, but there you have it. Sex is risky. Unfortunately not everyone who indulges is practicing safe-enough sex.

So, again, more power to the virgins.

actually, the 2nd post was supportive of the OP. in any event, the rant in the OP, who made the original claim, which was unsubstantiated. they inferred the ‘air of superiority’ (paraphrased) based on ‘tone’ of the voice from NPR. objection stands.

The last time I had sex with a virgin she disappeared in the morning, along with my wallet, credit cards, stereo, and my penis. I’ve been using my spare penis ever since, but it’s smaller and the ride is pretty bumpy. If anyone finds my original penis, please contact me! I miss it.
