Okay, so it's a very common thing in LiveJournalLand -- new community created, lots of interest in the first month or two, lots of activity, and then it quickly starts to slide away and before long there's no activity at all. So it's been no different here, and I've certainly neglected my duties as mod by not coming to the table with more ( Read more... )

Virginity, or the lack thereof

Last year I flirted with the idea that premarital sex is okay, and my own religious views have changed a lot, but I ( Read more... )

Given how the purity craze loves to convince girls how their virginity is the only virtue they should worry about let alone the only one that will matter to your future husband, I wonder how does this effect the women who bought into it after they finally lose their virginity on their wedding night? After being so convinced it's the only thing they ( Read more... )

Intro (Thanks for reading) and some ranting

Thanks for creating a place like this. Although I thankfully dodged the bullet of purity balls and silver rings because I was too old, but I also had my share of nightmare stories of sex. It was always some nightmare scenario about how premarital sex would either lead to pregnancy, disease, and\or the person ending up miserable or their lives ( Read more... )
