You’ve been reading her blog for months now. You’ve been writing virtual novels in her comments section for weeks. And you are still completely oblivious to the correct spelling of her name.

Amazing.

False. People were just more discreet then. Premarital sex has always been rampant. See the following quote from a report published by The Guttmacher Institute (www.guttmacher.org/media/nr/2006/12/19/index.html)

“Contrary to the public perception that premarital sex is much more common now than in the past, the

i think telling women the use of refraining as a tool to ensure the man’s fidelity/devotion is as dangerous as the notion that a man must trick a woman into sleeping with him under false pretenses.

But it’s ABSURD to suggest that this is what she’s doing.

She’s NOT becoming a monk.
She’s HAD sex.
It was obviously AWFUL, otherwise why would she be making this choice?

LOL!!!

(Sorry Erica, that was too easy.)

You said re: celibacy vs. commitment:

“Cuz I want to go deeper, and I want the stability of a committed relationship in order to do that.

I also want to build something WITH someone. It’s more fun as a shared pursuit.

Why do people enter into partnerships of any kind? Because they

I’ve changed my posting name. Apparently here on the internet it is possible to change your name identity at the touch of a button.

Who knew? I sure didn’t.

It’s witchcraft, I tell you.

Sorry for the confusion.

Looks like you’re receiving them.

And there are so, so many. How much pain is there? How much more pain is created, floating and clinging inside us as we shrink the possibilities of what is okay for us and for others to be allowed to do and explore, or is it more an expression of the pain that was already there that came from

Thanks for commenting. Yeah, I’ve thought about that too.

If I were coaching the women, I’d probably challenge them to get really intimate with themselves about whether ONS feels good to them. Some women may be okay with it. I’m not okay with it but I take responsibility for my own happiness and don’t do it.

A lot of guys need to learn to walk before

“In my view, this is the way the business should be run. A bunch of the guys ended up having success with women THAT night. Including a few lays.”

And in this post, you wrote:
“I can assure you that the two choices now for me are abstinence or full commitment.”

How are these two views reconciled? Rejoicing that some guys in

Theyre pretty much formulated to support an idealistic world view. Thinking of things in terms of “winning” or “losing” is wrong in its very core.
