I think your screen name kinda gives it away

This whole thread makes me roll my eyes but this one post makes it worth it. I’m giggling like a little girl over here.
Yes. They just scream, “Read me!”
Perhaps if one really felt the need to trumpet one’s sexual status, it could go like this:
location: in a state of bliss
Or something.
Not that I’m totally justifying the OP, but I just think that the (mostly female) posters that have come in to suggest that, “it’s all just 'cause you aren’t getting any,” don’t really understand what a major concept sex can be to people that aren’t involved in the type of relationships they like. I certainly have felt that before in high-school, and it’s not just some minor, “get over it, bucko,” deal. All of our genes have been organized and programmed towards reproduction, and I’m not the first person with a biology background to say that all behavior is oriented towards repoduction.
It may not be valid for a modern society in which we have, “higher, nobler goals,” but it’s not much of a stretch to say that sex is our number one purpose in life.
I guess the best comparison I might be able to make is to take whatever you have the most insecurities about and amplify it ten times with the fact that it isn’t just about your own actions, but the decisions that others make about you. Like your weight. If someone came into MPSIMS and said, “I’m not fat anymore!” and procedded to share, “I thought that it would take years of dieting, exercise, and discipline, but I was wrong, all it took was under an hour in the flourescent light on a dorm couch, and now I’m no longer like all of you other fat, ugly, overeating losers!” Only your weight is something you control and your virginity is something that other people have a role in deciding to.
Again, not saying that the thread was pit-worthy, but try to understand where he’s coming from before coming back with replies that can truly be very hurtful. In essence, “The only reason you’re pitting this weight-loser is because you’re still a fat, ugly, worthless piece of trash who just can’t get it off!”
For the record, IMHO, the thread was kind of stupid, but I don’t think it deserved closing and I think it was okay for MPSIMS. Maybe I’m being colored here by my own sexual experiences. When I lost my virginity, it was like, WTF was all of that attention over? Maybe I was masturbating too much, because, what can I say? Vaginas don’t feel as good as I though they did. I’ve made some decisions in life that put less emphasis on sex after that.
Yes, but as I said upthread, guys who post that they get laid get slapped on the back. Women who post that they got laid are more likely to get, “Ew! TMI!” I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a male OP’ed I-got-laid thread being closed.
threemae, it’s been just a little over 23 years for me, i.e., I’m a virgin, and I think the OP is completely unjustified even though I agree the thread that prompted it was just as unnecessary. He’s not getting any… who the fuck cares? That’s no more of our business than it was that Tracy Lords is.
With that being said, I’m glad your first time was so successful as that seems rare for women, Tracy.
I don’t know, I’m not familiar with any of those threads, and I don’t know if the OP is either. Maybe you’re on to something, or maybe this was just the straw that broke the camels back. I will add to by first post, that yes, it’s good to hear that the experience was a positive one rather than a negative one.
Now, on to a more worthy pitting: moi. WHY THE FUCK CAN’T I STOP READING THE DOPE AND DO MY FRICKEN’ BIOCHEM HOMEWORK?
–We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread–
This thread is about bio-chemistry at it’s most literal finest.
I think if it happens under certain circumstances, people will feel compelled to gush. My first time was under such a bizarre chain of events I couldn’t help but talk about it. Of course, the situation for me was also a bit more complicated, and when I shared I also adressed some person concerns/misgivings I had about it but was chipper about the whole thing. After all I literally experienced a first time worthy of a Penthouse letter (was on a cruise with my family, picked up a woman at the bar, literally had sex an HOUR after meeting her) and I knew a lot of people wouldn’t believe me, thought I’d be full of it. Maybe their doubt made everything that much more gratifying.
Can you see my house from up there? :dubious:
I laughed my ass off for a few minutes just reading the words “prehensile rectum.” Did a search, but many threads came up. Got a link?

Well that sounds ominous! You make it sound like you made yourself a eunich. :o
No, just realized that what people were saying all along about sex not being the most important thing in the world was actually true. Trust me, everything’s still intact.
Why didn’t you report the thread at the time?
You provide a link to such a (reasonably recent) thread, in MPSIMS, and I assure you I’ll take care of it.

That’s what she said!
…well, that didn’t work out in this case.
Because I didn’t think the OP, or any of the other posts, was in violation of board rules. I just didn’t agree with the opinions stated. Are we supposed to report posts just because we don’t agree with them?
I don’t want anyone to be censored for talking about their sex life within board guidelines. I just didn’t think Tracy Lord’s OP was outside of board guidelines. I didn’t see it as any different from similar OPs posted by males. And those threads weren’t closed, so why should hers have been?
mental note: buy chess set.
wait, what about those old guys who always play chess in the parks?

Rilchiam, you’re maintaining that there’s a double standard with regard to these types of threads, yet you’ve shown me no evidence of such. This leaves me no choice but to consider you assertion baseless.
If you think Tracy Lord’s OP was within board guidelines, you should reread said guidelines.
I don’t make moderating decisions based on the gender of the poster. If I see a thread that violates board guidelines, (or one is brought to my attention) I deal with it accordingly.
