feelgood

I've been watching all thoes documentaries on TV all about the latest sex and relationship trends. Here some I've heard

1. Back in the 60s, there were tupperware parties where women would get together and show off their tupperware. But now, I read couple of news articles online that the latest "Tupperware" parties are all about sex and the objects that is involved in sex (didlo, fetish objects, etc). Any of you ladies really do those kinds of things? I mentioned the article to one of my female friend and she says that she did it once but I thought she was just fucking with me.

2. 200 years ago, people at the age of 10-16 would get married and have babies at that early age. 100 years ago, people at the age of 16-22 get married and have babies. Nowaday, its all 22-30 age group. I just graduated from high school in 2002 and already, I counted about 5 friends or people I knew are already getting married. I broke up with my girlfriend b/c of the fact that she wanted to get married soon and have kids just kinda urked me among other reason (I'm not that shadow). What makes people get married at such a young age (18-22) or older age (25-30)? I would think that having a career and going to school is a factor in getting married at a older age.

3. There are so many godddam sexual trends out there that I can hardly keep up with the latest ones. Group sex, threesome, female domination over male, etc etc. When you're meeting a member of the opposite sex, how can you tell what they're into? I mean, I'm the kind of guy that likes to figure out who people really is rather than just take a gun and fire it blindly in the dark

4. My parent's divorce just made me rethink the whole concept of marriage. Not the "Women are evil and are out to get men" kind of thinking but the sheer amount of commitment, finanical and emotional support that is involved and can go fucking hell within seconds is something I'd rather avoid in relationships. Has anybody feel this way? I don't think what I said made sense but to reclaify Has a married couple that you knew closely break up affected your views on marriage?

Just my random thoughts and question while I'm sitting here in the library on my laptop and wondering what's of my future.

1. i don't know about this but it sounds fun. an added twist to the tupperware party.

2. people are finding that they'd rather be financially stable and able to stand on their own two feet BEFORE entering a relationship where everything is shared. it's not about finding the rich man to support you anymore.. or anyone to support you. it's about supporting yourself on your own, then joining your partner for added support.

3. i suggest you worry about your own trends than the people around you. find out your pattern. who do you tend to date? what are you drawn to?

4. my views on marriage are already cynical regardless of who breaks up with who. i think collectively, as a society, i'm aware of the trends to make me stop to think about marriage in general. i think if you can find what works for you, then you shouldn't be concerned with societies lackluster marriages/divorces. but in the mean time, remain skeptical.

Porn is getting sillier and sillier. Coming from a guy on the inside.

People are no longer satisfied with the 15 minute bang in 3 diff positions and a pop in the face. Now it's all about how many dicks you can fit in a chick's ass at one time.

tupperware sex parties. hmmm that is just hard to believe but who knows.

Well im 23 and not married,, no plans on being so i must be out of the trend.

Well, on number 3 I do have some unusual likes, but please the worst male line nowadays is "So what are you into?

As far as the last one I have to think of two old quotes the first "Men chase women until she catches him." It has som truth in it. But the second "Hell has no fury than a woman scorned." Now that one is true.. Perhaps if you think women are out to get men then take a look at the guy first...

Actually I think you should stop listening and watching the news... They like to make a small minority seem like the majority..

Number one is completely true, take that as you will don't have an opinion on the others...

There are so many different interests out there nowadays. I think people are in general more open about their turn ons and things. I think that perhaps some of the stranger kinds of fetishes might just be a little one-up-man-ship going on since people are more aware of what others have tried or are interested in.

As far as marriage. I haven't had a close friend or family member break up but our marriage has come close. It has helped me re-evaluate our commitment and we've both realized the VAST amount of Commitment that one has to have in a relationship. A couple, to survive has to be so open and communicate so many things without fear of criticism for the relationship to go through the difficult times. Marriage is work. I believe it's worth it but I can easily see how some might not see the worth in it.

yep the sex parties are for real... one of my friends sisters had one this summer, a lady came over ans presented us with allkinds of new toys and such and you were able to buy/order them... i guess its to make women more comfortable with them and have them not to have to go to any store to get them... kinda cool i think!

1. Sex toy and sexual technique "parties" (classes to showcase/sell toys) held at people's houses are quite common.

2. In my opinion, it's 2 things- many people want to be more financially stable and out of school before worrying about a permanent partner and children, and people can live long, healthy lives and have a little more time available to them in which to raise said family. Many (again, IMO) of the early conception ages are due to pressure or desire from the female partner- but in today's society, women have careers more and more and don't want to leave that to raise the family, so some simply put it aside for a while. But don't you worry, there are plenty of 16-year-olds getting knocked up to balance out the numbers.

3. Get to know them. It usually becomes very obvious quite quickly.

4. I think people see marriage as a piece of paper, and not an actual emotional and psychological bond more and more... hence the over 50% divorce rate in the first 5 years of marriage (note: here in the US, don't know about elsewhere, sorry). The things people divorce over are sometimes so crazy... you think to yourself, "why the fuck did you two ever marry for anyway?"

For you, just take care of yourself, and make sure you're SURE it's meant to be, and not because it's convenient or "the next step". I think a lot of people marry just because they date, then move on to spending the night, and then on to moving in with each other, and soon they figure they might as well get married, because it's "the next step", and that is such a horrible reason.

4. I definitely don't think marriage is for everyone. Having said that, if you truly find the RIGHT one at the RIGHT time in your life, it can be wonderful. I disagree with what you said about the whole thing (marriage) going to hell in a second. It really doesn't happen that way. It's dramatic when a marriage flames out and finally collapses, but it doesn't get that way overnight. There's usually a whole bunch of stuff that has occured under and on the surface, and it culminates in a collapse. Things that were happening in your parents marriage may not have been apparent to you as their child.

I used to make some extra cash in college throwing sex toy parties with my uncle. That guys got a million hustles. It was also a GREAT way to meet women.

As far as marriage ive pretty much ruled it out at this point. I refuse to get married because its on a to-do list and im beginning to think that what im looking for in a woman is not humanly possible. If I do get married ill be 35+ and decidedly settling but Im much too young to settle at 24.

I can see a saleswoman coming over to the house and showing a circle of women toys they could purchase. In high school, the girls in my drama class had to show everyone if they got a cute new pair of panties.

200 years ago, people didn't regularly live much longer than forty or fifty years. If you were over the hill, the odds were good that you were buried in a plot on the other side.

Unless the person that you meet is wearing colored bandanas in their jeans pockets, you can't tell what they're into. If they are wearing colored bandanas in their pockets, be prepared to hear things you might not want to.

Marriage doesn't end in a second. Mine ended because my wife was too critical. Once I was trying to avoid having an argument with her and unleashing all of the nasty comments I had saved up, and I screamed. She came rushing in, thinking I had been mortally wounded. All that had really happened was that I had been mentally crushed under the weight of not wanting to comment on her attitudes and hear her rebuke me. Do you think that a moment like that can come about without a set pattern of behavior beforehand?
