• Why is being a Virgin shameful?
    607 replies, posted
Being a virgin after about 16 or so is shamed in our society because of how we've increasingly come to idolize and sexualize youth, therefore where society once wouldn't have cared if you're a virgin at 20, you're now considered a complete failure at life because society starts viewing people as sexually active and viable starting at 15 or 16.

I'm a lover of sex, don't get me wrong. If I could have sex every day for the rest of my life, I'd totally go for that. However if someone decides that they want to stay a virgin until they get married or something of that nature you guys should learn to respect that.
"Contemporary Western society uses shame as one modality of control, but its primary dependence rests on guilt, and, when that does not work, on the criminal justice system." Fuck all the haters.

I have sex with my girlfriend. I love her. We're not trying to have kids. It just feels good and we both enjoy it. I'm lucky enough to have a girlfriend that loves sex just as much as me. Hell, half the time we have sex, she is the one that initiates it. If someone feels different about sex, who gives a fuck. As long as someone isn't trying to push their beliefs on me, I'm fine with them. It's a personal choice, and some people need to learn to get over the fact that other people have DIFFERENT opinions about intercourse.

Times change is all, back in the old days (way old), having pure white skin was a sign of good living, and generally, royalty. (Not white as in race, having like, pale, colored white skin, like most red-head females seem to have) Now it's all about the tans. Today being a virgin is seen as being less of a man, and that's due to people on the internet making it seem so, which trickles down to schools and so on. In the end it comes down to your own view, if you really don't like being a virgin, then do what needs to be done to remedy it.
A lot of people think that your sex life determines who you are and what you always will be, because they have never grown out of the "BOOBS ARE AWESOME" stage of puberty, the typical middle school mindset. And the whole argument that sex is natural is pretty fucking stupid. You could also argue that murder is natural, but you don't see people going around killing people whenever they get the chance, do you?

In Denmark, for example, it's 15 and 16.

Who the fuck cares if it doesn't further the species? Are we even talking about the same thing? I'm making the argument that justifying the ridiculing of virgins based on natural instinct or other bullshit is completely stupid. We're not primitive apes who do everything based on instinct; everything we do is learned. If we all caved in to instinct, then we wouldn't have science, language, or even a society. Everyone would just go around fucking each other senseless and killing. The only real reason for sex is procreation and humans just happen to find it pleasurable. And just because some people don't take pleasure in it or seek to feel that pleasure, doesn't mean they should be shunned and thrown in the freak bin. And to say sex is the best thing in the world and the hugest accomplishment is completely fucking stupid and brings us back to the "boobs are awesome" thing. Plus, other people's sex lives are none of your business. I don't see why people feel the need to ask about it. It's creepy and rude.
Sucker.
It's really not, I only mock people for being virgins if they parade around on facepunch being complete tossers acting awesome. Best thing I've got anymore anyway.
Rarely do other species murder each other. It's mainly the humans that accomplish this. Murder isn't natural. Hunting, however, is.
[QUOTE=IceCKryss;15819639]Rarely do other species murder each other. It's mainly the humans that accomplish this. Murder isn't natural. Hunting, however, is.[/QUOTE] It's essentially the same thing; killing and otherwise violent acts.
[QUOTE=Wolf_Marine;15812487]Lets see, Sex today, unwanted pregnancies and STDs tomorrow. If you're dumb enough to have sex without being married or even mature, then have the brains to test for STDs before going out. I've never gotten into the love game, not when I was young and going to a Catholic school, not now in college. One of the older ladies I work with said she never went to any parties in college, and I'm ending up in the same situation and I don't really give a damn about parties. I'm no party animal; I like the quieter, simpler life. My idea of a good time is a soccer game or a hike in the woods or a ride on a train or a fishing/camping trip or even going out to the local range to fire off my einfield, I even enjoy working on the landscape around the house. Haven't met any women with my taste for fun yet.[/QUOTE] You are an idiot. Ever heard of a condom?
I don't understand peoples hangup with sex before marriage. You're still fucking a girl either way.
[QUOTE=Doriol;15819655]It's essentially the same thing; killing and otherwise violent acts.[/QUOTE] But do humans eat the other humans they've killed? Not usually. That's why we have different terms for "murder" and "hunting". Animals kill to survive. We don't have to.

Due to our extreme overpopulation on such a small planet that won't be able to sustain us for much longer, murder helps the human race. Not that I condone it.
A more important point we need to discuss is that everyone acts like if a woman enjoys sex she= slut. Why do people act like that?
[QUOTE=Bile demon;15819868]A more important point we need to discuss is that everyone acts like if a woman enjoys sex she= slut. Why do people act like that?[/QUOTE] Because that's the way society works?
[QUOTE=Bile demon;15819868]A more important point we need to discuss is that everyone acts like if a woman enjoys sex she= slut. Why do people act like that?[/QUOTE] Revenge for the fact that women always win full custody, all the assets, and decades of alimony in divorce court.
But seriously, sex is enjoyable and woman get criticized for enjoying it, or even having it, and I find that is completely unjustified
[QUOTE=Bile demon;15820016]But seriously, sex is enjoyable and woman get criticized for enjoying it, or even having it, and I find that is completely unjustified[/QUOTE] I don't really care. They have so many double standards in their favor that I'm going to exploit the one or two that men get to their furthest extent.
