Hee hee... boulders...

nice to see that caught on.... PM me if you want the backstory.

Anywho, I've sorta been thinking about this lately, and for me it's a double sided coin. On the one hand, if you have sex, you *might* end up regretting it later. On the other hand, if you don't have sex, you *might* be insanely sexually incompatable when you get married. I think that, in some cases, the sexual incompatability comes from ignorance and not because one is a virgin. I think that if people were educated about ALL aspects of sex once they "came of age" (could be from school, parents, church, whatever) then they'd be more likely to make a sane, rational decision and have real REASONS to back that decision up.

Now, I'm not saying that "because the Bible says so" isn't a valid reason, it's just that... well, I'd like to think when your'e talking about something as important as your sex life (and I mean important in the scope of the happiness of the marriage/relationship) you'd make the decision to stay a virgin until you were married because you KNEW what you'd be "missing out on" and KNEW you didn't want to do all that stuff with anyone but your spouse. Personally, if my parents had been more forthcoming about sex, why it's so great, why it's such a bond, why it's so special etc etc etc I totally WOULDN'T have lost my virginity just to lose my virginity.
