I never trusted the Abstinance Only programs. This report simply validates my pessimism.

You see, Christian kids are expected to not engage in premarital sex because it is a “sin.” However, they also know that all they need to do is pray for forgivness afterward and magically they are off the hook with God (it’s like jailing criminals, but only until they say they are sorry). How absurd!

The bigger problem with these programs is that since the kids are simply expected to not have sex because they promised they wouldn’t, they won’t have condoms with them when they “sin.”

In my opinion, the religious right is perpetuating a serious health problem because they refuse to recognize the facts. All Teens Have Sex (or desperately want to). We are genetically designed to have rampant hormonal shifts during puberty. Denying that is as ridiculous as denying global warming or evolution…

Wait! What?... oh nevermind.

The male version of the cherry would be the banana-kumquat hybrid. As for hiding the sprout, pruning shears work the best to keep it under control. That is why it is sometimes referred to as a “Bush”.

Yes, this virginity thing can be troublesome. As in the movie, “Addams Family Values” when Fester got married to the serial killer, when he asked about having sex, Debbie, the bride/killer snapped back and asked if he had ever had sex before and he said no, so she said to him, how do you know we are not having sex right now it and just he appeared dumbfounded and said nothing else.

Besides, when 2 virgins-can you call a male a virgin?, first engage in that activity, it must be a big let down, leaving they to wonder what all the hoopla is about when both are inexperienced. The most repeated line in history after having sex for the first time is, “Is that it?” My grandmother, in the 70’s when the sexual revolution was popular, said that a lot of people are going to be highly disappointed when they get married, as sex plays such a small part in the whole relationship of marriage.

Another thing, what if one is hypnotized to think they are a virgin when they no longer are, and they truly believe they still are a virgin, does this make it so?

Now onto the other article about virginity pledges on TD.

I’m so sorry for your misfortune.  I’m lucky I never had a cherry.  BTW, just what is the male equivalent of the female cherry?  Prune, perhaps?

The one thing I’m in therapy about now is, I’m searching for the answer to the question “why is it that a liberal would go to such lengths to save his virginity?”  It just doesn’t add up. I mean, the only thing now left for a die-hard conservative to save is something sexual.  Why am I so protective of my virginity?  First of all, my sense of reason tells me it probably hasn’t been worth the angst.  Then, there’s the built-in cognative dissonance.  And, what is so valuable about your virginity.  Or, what’s so damned important about the first time?  Could you go ahead and have the first sex and then, afterwards, deny you had it.  You actually could convince yourself of that, perhaps with a little outside help.  Then you’d be back to square one again.  I mean, kids do all kinds of things with their parts—as Bill Clinton did—and deny to themselves and the rest of the world that they “had sex.”  So it is possible. 

The problem is, it seems to me, are you lying to yourself or are you lying to the rest of the world?  This is a subject worthy of this great website’s consideration—TRUTHDIG.  Let’s get to the real truth.  WHEN IS SEX SEX?  WHAT IS A VIRGIN?  WHAT IS A LIE?  DOES TIME FIGURE IN?  THE MEMORY?  ONE’S PERCEPTION OF IT ALL?  “I don’t recall,” or “I don’t seem to have any recollection…”  This is it, purplewolf.  I think we’re on to something. 

Happy New Year to you, and I hope your cherry is none the worse for sprouting.  BTW, how do you hide that?  Or do you bother to try.  I mean, do people look the other way when they see you coming?  Isn’t that a hard way of life?  Boy, I thought I had a lot of problems.  That must be the pits. My best to you!

I waited so long saving myself until the I married that my cherry sprouted!

Happy New Year.

I pledged back in 1946, when I was five years old, that I’d remain a virgin until I got married.  I’ve been married 8 times, going on 9, and, I’m very proud to say, I’m still a virgin. 

I’m writing a book about it. 

It’s a very compelling, riviting story.

Dont’ blame Christianity for what people do in the
name of Christianity!

Anyone thinking a christian would keep a vow or an oath hasn’t watched Bush, Hagee, Cheney, or any of the other purported “values” people.

christianity is a method of shearing the sheep while looking sincere.
