I'm the only one on this thread, (all I find is a few leftover bearns!!) so this is just "thinking out loud" but I'd like to ask a question and the answer might get NC-17 rated, so I'll do it here. The question is, why don't young people have sex any more? It seems like all the young women I work with don't even date, the young hot men are just slaving over their drafting boards at all hours of the day and night, even on weekends, and the men who seem to be gay are basically sexless. In movies like Pride and Prejudice you have to wait until the very end of the movie just to get a small glimpse of a kiss! And even BBM is pretty tame, the short story was more graphic. Fortunately I'm married and can get it anytime I want, and I hurt for all the Ennises who are letting their lives go by without enjoying what is a very primal source of joy. Are you youngsters afraid of getting hurt, too anxious to take a risk, or do you just not know what you're missing? It baffles me.
You're going to wait forever to get a response from Randy Mandy cause I don't think she can identify with this one!!
Well, I ain't that young anymore, so all I can offer is an explanation for my own situation. I'm 32 years old and I have a nearly-7-year-old son. I haven't dated anybody for nearly 3 years and I don't plan on changing that. I'm the kind of person who doesn't desire sex unless I "have" somebody. If I'm in a relationship and I love the person, I'm a tiger who occasionally has to be caged up, if only so my partner can get some sleep
, but if I'm not with anybody, the thought doesn't enthuse me whatsoever.
As for why I have no intention of dating... Two reasons. One: its a conscious decision I made because of my son. He's very impressionable and he's just at that age where he's bonding with everybody, especially men because he's now learning how to "become" a man himself. So I'm only having him around men who will always be a part of his life: my dad, my brother, close male friends who I've known for a long time. And the second reason: I'm just not good at relationships. Never have been. And lets face it, if you had perservered with something like piano lessons for about 18 years and STILL sucked at it, would you keep doing it??? Nope, neither would I.
Just my $0.02.
Anyways, I got an Ennis drawing to finish.. I might jump on from time to time and say g'day...
