Catholics Beware...

Sex. I don't know about you, but I like it. A lot. It's interesting how it plays such a pivotal role in our relationships. Someone gets divorced and people remark, "Well at least they didn't have any children." Royal couples were frowned upon, even disowned for not consummating their marriages with children. Sex holds this odd fascination for most of the world. I mean in all seriousness, it is pretty fucking cool. It's satisfying, right, wrong, amazing, dirty, clean, appropriate, ravenous, wet, dry, loud, quiet, horrible, short, drawn out, and damn good. Sex can be so many things. The phrase "Sex like a man." has been thrown around more recently than not. What does it mean? Sex without emotions? Sex without the attachment? Maybe those are the things that make it so amazing for a woman. The deeper the connection with a person, the better the sex. Not always. Random hook ups can be hot as hell. But they aren't passionate. They aren't meaning full. Just hot sex. I want hot love. "Making love." An interesting phrase. Unlike the phrase "Fuck.", It implies that there is love between the two people. The term "fuck" implies something less human, more primal, less emotion, more act. Who's to say both people are in love. If someone loves me as much as I love them, laying next to them and feeling their heart beat is enough. Bad sex or not, love trumps all. And where the fuck did all this religious bullshit come into play? Seriously? "Marriage is between a man and a woman", "no sex before marriage", "sex is a sin" Again, Seriously? They are taking all the fun out of it. Next time I see a cow mount up I'm gonna pull over and scream "Your not married! Sinners!" out my fucking car window. All of God's creatures are equal in the eyes of God. Or so they say. It's the reason I can't smash a ladybug for the fuck of it. If we are all so equal then why do we have these fucked up rules about reproduction that no one else does? Oh yes, hello, AIDS? Poor African guy couldn't get his dick wet so he fucked a monkey. Society caused the biggest outbreak of transmital disease in the history of the world. It was wrong for him to do what his body was telling him was right with a woman due to societal norms, so he fucks an animal. Love it. Way to go Karma for fucking us all over on that one. On the bright side we never would have gotten to see all those funny Trojan Condom comercials... I guess I would like to know what is so wrong about it. The taboo of sex has created an entire industry. Porn is king. So is HIV. What are we doing wrong? Not wearing condoms? Having too much sex? Too many partners? "Teen pregnancy is this horrible thing." Babies are miracles no matter how they come to us. 100 years ago if a woman wasn't married with children by the time she was 18 she was a spinster. I realize times have changed. Then why can't our acceptance. Sex can be a beautiful thing. It's sposta be fun! All those fun positions and foreplay? Who decided this was bad? Ok. I don't wanna get a diseas as much as the next girl, however, birth control is $9.00 a month at Wal-Mart. Free at Planned Parenthood. They hand out condoms on college campuses. They are cheap! They sell them in vending machines at gas stations for christ sake! There is a vacine for HPV (which causes Cervical Cancer.) We now can tell you the 3 days everymonth that you are more likely to get knocked up. They made a comedy about accidental pregnancy for God's sake! If we would simply educate American's about sex, all of it, pregnancy, protections, disease, that's it's ok to like it, that it's only a sin if you believe it is, there is no "correct" age to start, it dosen't make you more or less of a man, and that it's part of life. All we are telling these kids is that sex is bad and don't do it. Show them how to put a condom on. Explain to them the signs of pregnancy. Make them comfortable enough to ask the questions they really want to know the answer to. Explain that sex is more than an act, it's a feeling, it's an emotion, it's a commitment. Sigh. I'm not sure that my opinon matters. I'm just sick of it being such a terrible thing. I'm not a slut for enjoying sex. Having children before you are married is fine, might be tough, but there are harder things in life. Like getting over the loss of a child. Blaming yourself. I don't think I would have been ready to deal with that at 16. I still wasn't ready at 18. I couldn't handle it today. That's what people don't realize. The set of risks that come with all this. How do you deal? How does anyone deal. I just don't want to see this get worse before it gets better.

Soo... basically we should just all have more and more sex but be careful and knowlegable about it? I'm OK with that.

You hit the nail on the head...why does sex have to be so wrong...it can be all of those things that you've described. And sex without emotion can be the best kind sometimes. No attachments, no strings. Sometimes people just need that.

Sex with love isn't always great. It gets complicated. Was it good?? was it bad?? Oh lord, it was short..etc...

My sister's 16 year old is 4 1/2 mos. pregnant. My sister who was a teen mom, was ranting about how disgusting it is that her daughter was having sex at 16. Uh, that's when I started. Insult much?? It's not when you start, it is how much information you are armed with.

I believe education is the way to go. My mother didn't talk sex with us (could be why I have four kids - someone should have told me after two what caused that) so I had to learn on my own. I was one of the lucky ones, but alot of kids who do not have guidance aren't so lucky.

I agree with both you and Samantha...lots of sex with education is a good thing
