VoodooChild sez:
given what passes for "normal" in modern society, "abnormal" is a title I wear with pride already.
My LTR of almost 1.5 years and I are both 20-year-old virgins, mostly for religious reasons (the whole not-before-marriage thing). Now, obviously some of you have trouble understanding our little belief that we will burn in Hell forever if we don't restrain ourselves a little.
Now, we both are horny as hell and would bang each other in a second if we weren't religious. As it is, we come pretty damn close at times. However, these aren't the most pleasant times of my life. The most pleasan times are those when I'm simply lying there, holding her in my arms, feeling our hearts beating together as we rest. Sex is a simple physical act, hardly worth bothering with, while lovemaking is the most profound experience two people can share. Sex without an emotional connection is not far above masturbation, and I'd much rather spend the rest of my life with a woman that I love, even if I stayed a virgin, than run around banging every skank that tickled my fancy. Eventually you get old, and the machinery breaks down, and the chicks won't touch you with a ten-foot pole unless you've got a lot of $$$, but if you have love it doesn't matter how old or gimpy you get, you'll still be just as happy, cuz you'll be banging a woman that still looks hot to you. I've got a couple of friends that are fat, nerdy, ugly, and just got married cuz they're madly in love. Single, neither one of them would ever get to get laid, but b/c they're in love, they probably do things I don't want to imagine them doing with great frequency and vigor.
Yes, humans are sexual creatures. Yes, we have desires. However, it is not this that makes us human. It is our ability to resist our desires, to think with our heads instead of our stomachs or our balls, that separates us from the stupid animals.
I apologize if this sounds preachy, but this happens to be one of the subjects I feel most strongly about.
