Chastity or Not: The Pressures of Sex Influencing The Quest for Love
Fox News ^ | Friday , May 25, 2007 | Lauren Green

Posted on 05/27/2007 2:04:57 PM PDT by Toadman

Snip: The purpose of sex is to give. It is the most intimate act of giving that two people can create. It is only that incredible level of giving that lovers are connected spiritually and emotionally. It's called one life oneness, a.k.a., marriage. It is the icing on the cake, the dessert after a gourmet meal, the harvest after the planting. It's like the fireplace that warms a room.

Recommended read. I already have boys circling the house wanting to date my daughter. I have a hard time communicating to her that she doesn't need to give herself to get a boy (she hasn't but she gets heavy crushes). And any boy that makes such demands is not one she needs to be with.

I've told her that whatever a boy does to her... I'm going to do to them (she fotflol).

Take it or leave it. Just thought I'd share with any other Dads (or Moms) that might be in the same boat.

This was very well written and much more well stated than I was able to do with my daughter.

Continue to talk to your young lady. It works. It truly does. My daughter held out for marriage (at 25) and my son’s fiancee is doing the same. More women are waiting than we know. I really believe it.

We have a son.

When the time came to “talk” to him, we said to think in terms that anything he did with a girl who was not his wife, was probably going to be done with the girl who will be his wife.

He’s still waiting (he says).

I'm going to assume you are the girl's father and not her mother, right? ;)

Sorry couldn't resist!

I agree, extremely well written.

My Mom and Dad told me, that you give away a little piece of yourself every time you engage in sexual activity with a person. Better it be to a husband who is going to cherish what you have given, than to have little pieces of your sole here there and everywhere. It’s your heart and your sole, be careful who you trust it to.

“The purpose of sex is to give’

That’s what I keep telling the girls. “It’s a gift!”
They prefer the package be left unopened. Sigh.

of course your son is waiting as well?

Or is this the old double standard thing?

Your point is well taken, and I agree. It does apply to my son as well.

I have a daughter and God forbid any of the vermin out there approach her. I don’t know what else to call them. They are raised without any sense of honor or restraint. I also feel the same about my boys. I ever catch them treating a woman as a piece of meat they won’t have to wait till the girl’s father kicks their ass.

Dawn Eden, author of the book, “The Thrill of the Chaste: Finding Fulfillment While Keeping Your Clothes On," says, "the fruits of the sexual revolution" of the '60s "prove to be loneliness, divorce, and disease." That's the legacy of the "get yours while you can" generation.

Yep. As a pre-teen and teenager in the 60's, I saw this coming. It bore it's poison fruit in the mid-70's with friends deciding they just 'didn't want to be tied down anymore', and leaving husbands, wives and children to be 'free' again. Interestingly, most were married again within a year. They didn't want freedom, they just wanted something new and different, and, for the most part, they weren't any happier the second time around.

Wow. Believe I really wasn’t trying to start a fight but your gracious reply gives me occasion to address more on the matter.

I have a cousin who caught his 13 year old son in his bedroom with a young lady about his age. I admire my cousin and how he handled the matter so allow me to share.

It seems he caught his son BEFORE the “deed” was done as the young lady and his son were fully clothed although, incriminatingly, they were in his bedroom and the door was locked. Cousin was supposed to be shopping but electricity went out in shopping center so he and his wife returned home early and unexpected by son.

Cousin heard sounds and knew a girl was in his son’s room. So he made a scene, got the girl out of the room and sent her packing. He then sat son down and asked him just what the hell did he think he was doing.

Of course the son stuttered and stammered but then finally admitted that the girl had promised to do a “Lewinsky” on him. Cousin’s son is a cute young man and a baseball player. Cousin’s wife wanted to tell the young ladies’ parents but my cousin didn’t want to deal with other peoples’ children, just his own.

Cousin’s son argued that why on earth should he turn down a free blow-job and how is this a bad thing? Yes we can, we can ALL thank Bill Clinton for this but moving on.

My cousin told his son that no matter what that young lady told him, she wasn’t offering oral sex for nothing. Cousin explained that females do not experience any particular joy by administering oral sex beyond the mental thrill of pleasing someone they like. Cousin went on to say that he has no problem whatsoever with his son taking such offers from young ladies if he will say the following BEFORE any episode occurs.

“Okay, I accept your offer to give me oral pleasure but let me make the following very clear: Your offer and subsequent performance will NOT obligate me to carry your books or even walk down the hall with you tomorrow or any day in the future. Your oral joys do NOT obligate me to ask you to the homecoming dance or even to ever go out anywhere with you unless the mood hits me. You will do this nice for thing for me and I will thank you greatly. Beyond that, I may or may not speak to you or spend time in your company, as I, and you, see fit, and NOT based on this kind thing you are about to do for me.”

Cousin told son if after he said all that the young lady still gave him oral ministrations, then he had his blessing and told him to enjoy.

Cousin also told son to remember that his sisters could be promising such things to may on whom they had a crush. Cousin asked son if he would advise his sisters to follow through.

I don’t know how son handled this advice and cousin complained to everyone that’s it damn hard to raise a son nowadays because at some point the boy’s just NOT going to be able to say no.

Still I thought it was a pretty good way to handle it.

Wallace Stevens makes the relevant point in "Le Monocle de Mon Oncle":
If sex were all, then every trembling hand
Could make us squeak, like dolls, the wished-for words.
