Oh good God.

So, apparently depriving oneself of having any given "experience" is bad?

Let's see. What else is common that I should have done, just so I'm more "worldly" and know more about it so I can dare speak of it?

What nonsense. I SEE enough of what happens with drunks and sex-centered leches every day to know enough. You don't need to jump off a cliff to know it's bad for you.

I find the comparison between jumping off a cliff, and having a glass of wine with a meal, to be a fallacious one. While many people here will agree with me on that, I also believe that having a sexual relationship with a person you love is not the same as jumping off a cliff either, even though there would be less agreement with me here about that.

I didn't say it was bad. I've chosen not to try skydiving, but if I was giving advice about skydiving, I would expect my advice to have less worth than the advice of someone who has tried it. Millions of people have done it, and the vast majority of them have not gone 'splat', but my beliefs about the subject of skydiving are relevant only to how I live my life, and are of little value to someone asking my opinion about it.
