No. It's closer to a contract.

So, once they get married, then they are officially in 'wedlock'?

and that's when banging becomes inappropriate?

That's when the banging becomes "spiritually enhanced repetitive stress injury."

Wow I had no idea the guy I've been fucking for the last 10 years isn't done with love, because we have not paritcipated in an archaic ritual!

Phew and I thought I loved the father of my children! How silly of me!


Pardon me I have to go kiss my bastards, I mean children goodnight.



(Oh and for the saving yourself for marrage? Ya, glad I didn't, Mikey had no clue what he was doing when we got togeather. If it wasn't for my past experence I don't think we would have ever have been compatable togeather. But because I was experenced I was able to teach him both what I liked and things he liked. in the begining I would have perfered he had more experence.)

You say you love each other, but on the inside you are empty shells just using each other in vain in an attempt to fill a hole that can't possibly be filled by another human.

I suspect the waiting for marriage thing came from practical considerations. Before the proliferation of contraceptives, sex carried a significant risk of spawning a baby. One aspect of a marriage is that it can provide a stable environment for child rearing. So, thoughtful people who cared about children would be inclined to abstain from sex until the environment for child rearing was appropriate.

Of course, that logic is outdated.

According to you. Not according to everyone else's notions of relationships and marriage. People don't all need a piece of paper and the pomp and circumstance of a ceremony to obligate themselves... and successfully I might add.... to one another.

Whether it is true or not "I'm waiting for marriage" could be an effective way of scaring off users and guys just looking for sex. Of course, I guess there are guys out there sleazy enough to try to woo and seduce a virgin, only to take it and leave her.

It has made me think... how shallow am I really? Could I have a non-sexual relationship? Can I wait for months and even years without sex?
I think I've made it over the hump now (pun intended), I've gone for long enough now without sex that it no longer bothers me.

One thing about living in Kansas City is that it can provide a stable environment for child rearing. So, thoughtful people who care about children will be inclined to raise them in Kansas City.

Until very recently, the material consequences of fornication have pretty much been borne by women; but of course nowadays women can pretty much degrade as much as they are degraded.

Izzat progress or what? :)

You to realize that it was implicit in your prior statements, which is why everyone has been mocking you for 2 pages now, right?

No. What I realize is that everyone determined to find fault with my statements has inferred what I never came close to implying so as to aid them in their cowardly quest to evade the obvious.

I think this parody is a bit uncharitable.

There is something to be said for abstaining from sex until marriage (or other similar contractual/legal relationship). Having sex is conduct which carries a serious potential for life-changing consequences. In my view, sex should never be "casual." There is the possible child to consider, not only from the point of view of the parents, but also from the point of view of the child. Until relatively recently, it was almost always known who was the mother of a child, but much less certain who was the father of a child. In case of heterosexual intercourse, a woman is at much greater risk, certainly from the medical point of view, and likely from the social/financial responsibility point of view, than the man. Even if the risks/probabilities are equal (non-medically) between the man and the woman, it's a big responsibility to rear a child, whether as a custodial parent or in terms of non-custodial support. It makes sense for a person to refrain from conduct which places her/him at such great risk in the absence of a committed partner who has undertaken the legal, contractual, social, emotional, relational responsibility for caretaking entailed by the risks of sexual intercourse. While it's not everyone's choice, I don't find it unreasonable for either a woman or a man to abstain from sex until marriage.
