Now call it what you will. Be it sex, "the nasty", "the horizontal monster mash", or "getting on the good foot to do the bad thing", sex has become an essential part of being a teenager, and some people are doing it at younger ages. To think that it takes a little girl to make someone a big man.
What makes the topic of sex worse is that you first hear about it from your parents, and to make them feel younger, there's a good chance they're still doing it. To make things worse, there are shows on television that feature old ladies talking about sex. Talk about a turnoff.
Now after my ex-girlfriend, as well as hearing about it from various friends, I have learned a few things about sex and having sex.
1. Sex can easily ruin a relationship. After sex, one of you will want to keep on doing it, but the other will not be able to put out, causing the relationship to turn sour.
2. Don't rush into things. Sex is a very magical thing, and it is not something to be taken lightly. You never know what could result from sex. It's like flipping a coin. The end result could be good or bad, and I don't mean RIGHT after sex.
3. You may hear people preaching about what happens if you have sex before getting married, and that may be true, but I will rebut that by saying that you don't buy a car without test-driving it. You want to know what you're going to do before you do it.
Now I'm not preaching abstinence. I'm saying that you should only have sex with someone that you feel comfortable with. Don't have sex just to have sex. Sex is kind of like marraige, except without the wedding. Sex is kind of a consumation of your love, not something that makes you a man or a woman (I'd feel pretty bad if it made some boy a woman.). Sex should not be done just to prove something to someone. So you're a virgin. Big deal. I was a virgin for a long time, and I am currently practicing abstinence (I'm single.), and I see no shame in not having sex. It's something that should be cherished, not something to tell the guys or the girls about.
Lastly, the really big thing is protection. Guys, don't let a girl talk you into not wearing a condom because they are on the pill. Neither prevent pregnancies completely, and the pill doesn't prevent the transmision of STDs. Girls, if you are not, and even if you are on the pill, don't let a guy talk you into doing it unprotected with him. It's just plain stupid. You never know what could happen. Let's just put it this way. You ever remember the proverb, "Accidents happen."? Any questions?
