You know when someone asks you a question and you want to say the furthest thing from the truth? Just so you don't sound stupid. Just for a little glimpse of acceptance and acknowledgment. I guess we come across situations like this almost everyday. To be completely honest I used to cross paths with this exact thing at least three times a week. With the fear of being different I conformed and said what was expected to be said.
Well that was four years ago. I will say the absolute truth about me and not care what anyone thinks of it. As I've grown up and started to notice the opposite sex, my life has changed - as it does with everyone. Suddenly the talk amongst my friends is sex.
Before I go into a relationship, I tell the guy that I'm not going to sleep with them. If he doesn't respect that he can leave, I couldn't care less. I was brought up to not have sex before I was married. Then again I was brought up to not do a lot of things I do now. This is almost the only moral I have stuck by. Not because I was brought up like that, but because it's what I choose to do and what I believe is right. Don't get me wrong, I have no problem with other people doing it, I mean, all my friends do. Good on 'em, they're enjoying life and I'm happy for them.
Its just every time someone asks me "whats the most you have done with a guy" I reply with "Nothing more than kissing" they give me this weird look like what I'm doing is wrong. How is it wrong? I don't understand. Since when is losing your virginity cool? Honestly, its like a new trend. Whatever happened to self respect? I can talk about sex with someone at ease and comfortably. I can never relate to it though. I don't actually like talking about it at all. I think it should be a personal thing between two people. But I guess everyone has their own opinion. Some people do it for fun, some people do it for love. Either way - there is no harm done.
I just want to know whats so un-cool with not having sex until your married. Its not like I'm a saint. I drink and I lie. I'm selfish and all that jazz. Its not because I think I'm going to go to hell. Its not because I want to be totally in love with the person. Its just because I think its right.
If not having sex makes me un-cool; so be it
