You should just do yourself a favor and lose it. You won't regret it
ya i mean what kinda advice is that. when shes ready she will do it.
Shels right. Don't make sex into such a big thing. Use protection and don't think that it has some deep life changing meaning. Its a fun way to connect with people you like. Nothing more.
That's a sad way of apprehending it !!
37, why? 17, good thinking. why people assign so much value to sex makes no sex--it's really fun, especially with the emotional baggage removed. keep your expectations reasonable, and good things will follow.
It's not really some life changing event if you take proper precautions. I mean honestly, besides a all tear, what is the difference between "virgin" you and "deflowered" you?
Sex is life-making, so obviously people value it above many other things. People who say sex is bad or unimportant are stupid and obviously hate life, as that is where life comes from. Of course, there are test-tube babies but I don't feel like going to Wikipedia and copy-pasting right now....
My boyfriend wanted the same before I was ready and it ultimately lead to the end of our relationship. I'm twenty now, was nineteen then, by the way. If two people want different things, sometimes it's better to let the relationship go. Also, my mum still teases me for being a virgin. She thinks that because my brother lost it at fourteen and she lost it as seventeen, I'm being prudish. Don't let anyone tell you that, OP, it's a decision that's entirely up to you and you should be proud of sticking to your guns and not caving to social pressures!
I couldn't agree more !
well I suppose if he was pressuring her then that'd be a legit reason..
If he was constantly pressuring you for sex then I can understand you wanting to get rid of him. Dumping him for asking only once however, is a bit harsh, but anyway we don't know the situation with your break up so whatever, you have your reasons. Anyway, good for you for not getting pressured into having sex. You go for it when you say so, not when anyone else says so. As for mum's comment, she has a point, but like I said, you go for it when you want.
You've articulated everything I wanted to express about this FML. Kudos.
But she can stay dumb forever :)
If he wasn't trying to pressure you into having sex, then breaking up with him might have been a little extreme. I mean, just because he's ready doesn't mean you have to, you can always wait until you are, knowing that it's your move next. However, if the two of you discussed how long you both wanted/were willing to wait and this was a mutual decision, then ignore what your mum said, it's your choice what you do. However, it's also possible that she thought you were just worried she wouldn't approve or that you needed a little bit of reassurance rather than you knowing what you were or weren't ready for.
Nice fml.
