*grin* you're absolutely right. I do a lot of reading on the chemstry of attraction and also on brain differences between the sexes. I wonder how many relationships exist solely because of the attraction that comes about because there's sex going on. Or at least, how many relationships exist for a brief period on this basis, before the initial infatuation stage wears off.

Given that you and Mr. Negus are religious and the general reaction to his post, I'm probably one of the very few non-religious* chaps here that agrees with you on this. :) * I dislike labels but 'agnostic' fits me best.

A (girl) friend of mine just called me, and asked me to spend the night with her... WTF! ...I hope it's not a joke...
She called me and told me she'd wave her fee because she gets all her money from you.

Yes, I was surprised to see all the encouragement here. Unless there is a serious relationship between the two I fail to see the relevance in such an affair - I'm not religious (you know that), but I think these kinds of things shouldn't be taken so lightly. This is how we end up with the spread of disease and children born into broken homes. I strongly discourage this kind of thing. (Formerly the Apocalyptic Teacup)

If that's true it is still a very small price. I mean, just look at the price of "abstinence": I'd become like you! X|
'My country, right or wrong' is a thing no patriot would ever think of saying except in a desperate case. It is like saying 'My mother, drunk or sober.'

Not meant by whom? I think that waiting can be detrimental as you should really know if your compatible or not first. Too many kids are battered because their parents can't stand each other. Marriage isn't sacred. Its a contractual relationship, but not sacred. It can be, but only if both people are compatible and they feel the same.
This statement was never false.

Actually, I agree. It also seems to be pushing the limit on the kid sister safe rule.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
Ah... but we're in the soapbox now! heh heh...

5. The only sensible response I've seen.

My comment was largely in jest, but was perhaps not interpreted that way for which I appologise, yours seemed more provoative and likely to cause a soap box style discussion. I think linking rape to premarital consentual sex is ridiculous

I'm in a Link2006 thread. \o/
Found on Bash.org [erno] hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my apartment it is.

Exactly. And with the rate of divorce... well, this institution isn't sacred and doesn't guarantee that the same minor brain damage being discussed won't happen anyway. Or what happens when people wait til their married, only to discover that they hate each other. The assumptions regarding marriage are just absurd. Nice idea, but only works sometimes.
