Kids these days…
Obligatory “Get of my lawn!”.
My youngest niece just finished her first semester of junior college.
I’m way too old to know what they’re calling these things these days.

Not the ones I go out with. I am a gentleman and always prefer ladies go first.
This was supposed to be quoting @anna_5588 lol
This thread finally got interesting. Only took 700 replies lol
You’ve proven yourself to be well above average.
It’s the equivalent of me saying “at my school, calculus is considered easy”
I’m just happy that the thread is over 700repljes long and hasn’t devolved into ad homenin attacks over political differences
I wouldn’t want to marry a woman who has “no idea” about that sort of stuff.
This film is a loosely put together string of “aha” moments that panders towards evoking an emotion based response within the viewer by throwing a series of shocking cases at you.
The film makes a very good point, but the way it goes about proving its points didn’t convince me. It’s like watching “earthlings”, a doco that serves to encourage veganism through showcasing animals being treated in barbaric and inhumane fashion for ninety minutes.
Family court isn’t the only court favouring women btw. However I don’t believe society is matriarchal in the manner you do. I think for whatever reason you’ve developed a frame of mind that doesn’t take into account various societal constructs have been and were created by men… for men… Now with third wave feminism we see a degree of misandry as the pendulum is swinging from one extreme to another.
Shame a middle ground can’t be found.
No… however there is good sex and there is bad sex. It’s easy to stimulate a man to climax, considerably harder to do so for women.
I don’t know what your attitude towards female sexuality in private is, however I believe the pleasure of BOTH partners is a very important aspect that needs to be focused on within a mature, romantic relationship.
I don’t want to get married to someone who isn’t going to be able to satisfy me sexually. I don’t want to be stuck with a woman who lies there like a starfish for five minutes just as I wouldn’t want to be stuck with a man who doesn’t provide adequate foreplay; a man who gets in… gets out and falls asleep.
How is one supposed to discuss this in detail if the wife is a virgin? It’s not as simple as you make it out to be
In the end, I like the idea of separate communities for demographics who harbour incompatible ideologies. It seems to work for the Amish, Mennonites, haredi Jews etc. It worked out for Christiana Freetown before the cops clamped down on it. Works for various tribal communities. Problem is these individuals cannot integrate within secular society, so they need to spend their entire lives walled off within a tiny community, I personally find that sad given I love going around and seeing what the world has to offer.
Granted those who are unhappy within these specific communities appear to be “stuck”, but it beats the majority having to forcibly assimilate within secular society..
To each his own. There are plenty of men and women who have zero experience and prefer the same in their future spouse.
To each his own
Yes, I never stated there was a uniform approach
I’m a fan of Western, secular society. Without the foundations of Western society, without unrestricted technological advancement I wouldn’t be alive today.
Needed IVF, premature birth, all sorts of medical interventions.
I’m aware you can take certain aspects of one society and seemingly integrate them with another, however I don’t think religion and science/medicine mix very well.

Not to derail, But…
Ever heard of St. Judes?

St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital grew from a small promise into a world-renowned research institution that has helped change the course of childhood cancer research.
Or the many other religion based hospital and university systems throughout the world?
They seem to blend well enough.
Ok. Back to regular thread.
I wouldn’t want to marry a woman who has “no idea” about that sort of stuff.
Your opinion is a bit controversial but it has merits IMO
Ppl tend to forget that others cannot read their minds. Women tend to be better at details and picking up on emotional cues and many get frustrated when their partner “ignores” their needs.
Even if there’s good communication, it’s hard to satisfy another person if they don’t know what satisfies them and isn’t willing to find out

You have a knack for extreme examples. How many people do this? Likely hardly any.
It is highly unlikely that two people, after having experienced such pleasure, as awkward as it can be in the beginning would continue lying their like lumps on a log for their next go-arounds.

It is one piece of content in heaps of other content available and I mentioned it because someone is more open to watching something rather than reading 300 plus page books with statistical evidence that requires serious concentration to read.
I do not allow myself to simply be influenced. I read, listen, and observe and factor in previous and current experience, mull over all this in my mind and then draw conclusions. That’s how I see if something is convincing.
Others, maybe not you, will simply state, “I don’t believe,” be presented with content they can draw their own conclusions from, and then say “nah dude. I ain’t looking at it,” which is totally unintellectual.
You have a knack for extreme examples
I can give less extreme examples. What if the woman I’m with doesn’t EVER initiate, or has a naturally low sex drive, won’t give oral sex but is totally fine with receiving, what if we like totally different things in bed or are turned on by dynamically opposed variables?
Not are necessarily dealbreakers asie from the second variable. Some women (and men) naturally have VERY low libidos and will thus involuntarily withold sex, or they’ll reluctantly engage.
The latter example equates to a “dead fish” scenario. I’d like to know this about someone before I decide to spend the rest of my life with them.
But what do I know? My opinion is but a drop in the bucket of many and I lack the relevant experience to comment further.
The other aspect about celibacy before marriage is… why? Why it so important that I (too late for me anyway), or my future wife is of virginal status?
Why does it matter? I have yet to find a convincing argument.
A very high body count CAN (almost always) reflect badly on an individual as it likely infers the individual is impulsive and skews towards desiring immediate gratification.
These are qualities you’d preferentially look for within a long term partner. However I don’t see why it’s important for the male or female to have never slept with anyone.
I’ve heard the argument surrounding purity… I don’t think sex is “dirty” or “shameful” to begin with, rather the dynamics surrounding sexual relations CAN bring about vice.
As a result, I don’t see how sex prior to marriage deems one as being less pure.

Is there someone trying to push this on you? If you don’t consider it important, you are free not to abide by it.

There is actually more to it.
If you don’t consider it important, you are free not to abide by it.
I really admire this attitude. You have strong views but don’t seek to impose it on others
There is actually more to it.
Pathological personality types, STD’s and? Please extrapolate
We are talking about the individual, not the social consequences associated with their actions on a large scale.
I have already repeatedly stated that statistically speaking, the pair bonding ability of women is increasingly weakened with each passing sex partner. It didn’t take data for me to see this anyway. I observed real life first, then saw data many years later.
If you don’t want to absorb this, again, you don’t have to.
I don’t think sex is “dirty” or “shameful”
You have stated this numerous times in numerous threads, as if some significant amount of people think this.

You’d be surprised!
