In my post I make it clear what I stand for, I encourage everyone here to make good decisions that they will not live to regret, to be the best they can be and to respect themselves and demand respect from others.
I believe the people that post here deserve to have all sides of the spectrum of opinions shared and then they can decide for themselves which path to travel. The consequences for bad decisions can have life long negative effects that if at all possible, it is better to avoid. Thoughts?
My thoughts are you don't encourage people by calling them or what they do stupid, that life is not something you want to end by lying on your deathbed and saying "I have no regrets" because that means you never took a chance and really lived.
Living a life with no regrets? Gawd, what a boring existence.
My thoughts are you hold threats over the head of someone that they will be called names, disrepected and indeed, not worthy of respect. You also hold a similar threat over someones head that "you may feel like this today, because you're young, but some day you'll think differently."
I'm thinking you hide a desire to repress others freedom of action under the guise of "I just want to make everyone aware of all sides." Oh yeah, and that the ideas they have now are stupid, and to point out that others think they are stupid also.
I think you make much too big a deal about how a person with normal cognitive powers will view either a past in which they were very sexually active, but careful not to get involved in pregnancies and STD's. Life is to be lived, and sex, even when not in a commited relationship is great. The best physical sex of my life was with a stranger I met sitting across the aisle from me in an airplane. I wouldn't trade that experience for a combination of 2 or 3 of "relationships" I had with "moral and upstanding" men.
I'm a woman in my last 50's, and if there was something I would do over if I could, it would be to have a lot more sex with a lot more different people while I was at an age when I got a lot more offers for sex. Something I do marginally regret is listening to or thinking that people who discouraged this behavior were anything but annoying yentes who had control issues.
I think people who tell others that sex is either best in a relationship, or only occur during one, are jealous, and/or bitter or have drunk the kool aide about the importance of what others think about someones behavior.
Too bad you bought into the idea that casual sex can really enhance someone's life, and give them really great memories, because one can never have too many good memories.
Your thoughts? Don't really care. I've heard them from you ilk too many times already.
