Inter personal relations in this age

I'll always remember a discussion I overheard between my parents regarding my sister- who was in grade 12 and 17- and her boyfriend who stayed the night on occasion.
My father was staunchly opposed to the idea of it and was about to assert his parental rights, but my mother stood up to him. She said (a little more colorfully), "There going to do it. I would much rather her in the comfort of her own bed than the back of a car.""My brain's a good brain!"0 -

Communication is key with kids. This includes our new technologies.
Not surprised that teen sex is down.

Just curious on how that is a stretch??? Thee are already people that think this is ok.. And practice it. So whose to say those people sick and demented as it is.. Doesn't stand up kne day and say they want equality too?? What happens then?? Do the PC vision holders seeking optimal correctness start looking other way? Like we did with abortion and tge morning after pill?? It really is the same thing.hedonist said:

As to limiting sex to within the confines of marriage, it's just not realistic. What about those who choose not to marry, or aren't allowed to? Or aren't ready to?

What's wrong with the morning after pill? Emergency contraception is just slightly higher concentration of birth control medicines which PREVENT fertilization of an egg.whispering hands said:

Are you against birth control?
Is this thread a veiled abstinence platform?

The rosy past of sexual purity that you imagine never existed. The teen pregnancy rate is now half of what it was in the 1950s. Sure, some of those pregnancies in the '50s occurred in couples that were already married, but a whole lot occurred in girls who either got married shortly after or mysteriously went away to stay with an aunt for a few months.
And sex between family members, even siblings, has occurred since time immemorial. Many cultures have practiced it, from the Egyptians to the Romans to the British to those in the backwoods of the USA, either for dynastic reasons or simply due to lack of available alternatives. I'd say the rates are probably less now than in the past, but I don't have evidence for that and am not that interested in looking it up.
Trying to ignore the fact that most humans naturally have a sex drive has never worked out well. Countries that recognize this and give our children and teens correct information and support have the healthiest populations.my small self... like a book amongst the many on a shelf0 -

Sorry to have strayed from the original point. Conversations here have a way of doing that
often - I appreciate your input on this. There are many acts that were practiced (and maybe just accepted?) in those earlier times. Some of those are just unacceptable now, or at the least, are discouraged as we're much more aware of the repercussions.0 -
I will agree with WH on on one thing, this incest shit needs to stop. I don't know any facts if it is happening or becoming a fantasy thing but have you been on pornhub or other sites lately? Every fucking video is titled 'Mother shows her daughter and her boyfriend how to fuck' and other things like that. If anything is disturbing me about the craziness this world has become it is that. Maybe I just want to watch 2 chicks and 1 dude get it on without someone having to put mother and daughter into the equation. God dammnit stop ruining my porn.

I had no idea that was going on. Haven't found the allure in porn that I used to (and I used to!), so don't visit those sites.
Pretty sad, whether that kind of porn is actually incestual or being portrayed as such because some get off on that.0 -
It is just a portrayal, many of them say stuff like mother and (not) daughter yada yada...hedonist said:I had no idea that was going on. Haven't found the allure in porn that I used to (and I used to!), so don't visit those sites.

I think it has more to do with porn addiction and the desensitization that comes with having such a huge variety of porn so readily available. People watch too much normal sex and then down the road the fetish stuff is the only thing that gives the same excitement they used to get.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
Yes, these threads wander from point.. My question WAS.. With personal and individual values being so heavily placed on sexual relativity, and the fact that sex is shoved down our throats no matter what we're doing or participating in... Does it worry you parents raising kids in this type of day and age of sex is everything? And does ghe fact that love now is equal to sex effect how you are raising your kids?
I
Mean they say sex in excess is healthy yes?? Just fuck
Whenever, whoever, wherever, and you'll find happiness.. Buuuuuut... Back in the 1800's through the earlier 80's people either believed smoking was good for you; healthy even
By some accounts.. So as parents do you ever fear that this is becoming 'one if those trends'?0 -
Well damn. I am sure glad i didn't develop the same kinds of beliefs, because that would mean I'd be a 39 year old virgin!whispering hands said:I know I seem
Like a snooty anti-sex jerk. But I honestly think that sex should have a proper place. And by a proper place I mean within marriage between two people whom
Have made a commitment to one another for LIFE. It should mean something.. It should not just be this free for all. And I know that I am one of VERY few left in this planet left that still believes in marriage as a life long commitment. I also know that I am the extreme rarity in the fact that I don't practice sex as an outlet device for every little thing in my life, like most everyone else does these days.. It just blows my mind that suddenly everyone is ok with their kids.. KIDS engaging in something that has the power to destroy them mentally. Cause let's face it, even as adults sometimes it's difficult to process why someone whom professed their undying love for you just the day before, suddenly quits calling once they've bedded you. Now imagine the emotional roller coaster that would cause in an already emotionally insecure kid.. It's just fucked up that parents for the most part are so blasé about it all, writing it off as healthy exploration..
Um, FYI, just because you don't marry a person it doesn't mean that you don't care about them. Also, I don't understand why you would give a shit about who is having sex with whom and for what reason. Why should people who don't want profound attachment be deprived of the pleasure of sex??? That seems unbelievably unfair to me.
I also think that this kind of attitude towards sex can totally fuck up a person's sex life forever, especially when you're talking about young people. I have never seen anything to suggest that extremely prudish and restrictive attitudes about sex would screw anyone up less than very relaxed attitudes about it. On the contrary.... ideas of guilt and wrongness paired with sex is very destructive to a person.Post edited by PJ_Soul onWith all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

I think that is an assumption on your part that is way off base. My cousin is younger, from the first generation of sext messagers... He has had sex with many girls, and it has had zero effect on his capacity to love. In fact, now that he has found the woman he is going to spend his life with, he appreciates her even more because of the depth of love which he hadn't shared with anyone prior.whispering hands said:Yes, these threads wander from point..

Sex without love can be damaging, but so can anything pleasurable, from alcohol and pot to sugar and sex. It is a mistake for you to think that sex without deep, abiding love is damaging, or wrong.
It may have been in your experience, I don't know, but it isn't so for everyone.
In fact, given what little I know of your history of love, I would ask you to consider if you might have been damaged less in life had you engaged with men in a more physical way, and less spiritual.
It is worth thinking about, I know that nobody on this Earth could hurt me more than the love of my life. Love is a great risk, and if people are hesitant to take that risk, I think they should still have the pleasure of sex!Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
A wise woman I know once said, "It's much easier to have sex with someone you don't love than it is to kiss someone you don't love." Sex is our animal nature and it's very normal to want to satisfy that desire but what most of us (and our kids) really want is to love and be loved."It's a sad and beautiful world"-Roberto Benigni0

Amen rgambs. Love has hurt me way more in life than anything else. Sex never has.With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. ~ Desiderata0

When people get married and they walk down the aisle as newlyweds they both have giant smiles on their faces.
The man is smiling because he doesn't have to worry about finding sex anymore.
The woman is smiling because she won't have to give it anymore.0 -

For the record, the morning after pill isn't exclusively used as a drug store fix to a night without birth control. I will tell you that when I was pregnant with our first daughter, she passed away. The morning after pill was one of the three remedies that they used to induce labor. At that point Bailey was no longer alive, but very much 22 weeks of development. Baby girl needed to come out, as I was in the throes of severe preeclampsia (it very nearly killed me) and it was too much of a risk for me to go in for a c-section. I wouldn't have made it through the procedure. For a week, it was questionable that I would make it at all. (My blood pressure was heinously high. So high that intensive care had to come to me. I was too bad to even move to that section of the hospital. I had to have a central line placed in without anything to numb the site as they didn't even have time for that. I might add, it hurt like hell.)rgambs said:

I say this not to solicit sympathy, but because I don't want you to write such a remedy off thinking that it is only something used by teenagers after an unplanned night of sexual activity. There is true medical worth with the morning after pill. It is a good reason of why I'm still here today.2014: Cincinnati

Hedo, I hope it didn't come across as if I was in favour of incest; I was just hoping to point out that it's something that has been around since the dawn of time and very likely is less prevalent and less acceptable now. I would assume that the porn sites that Ani was referring to aren't actually showing incestual sex; it's all about the marketing. Sorry if I wasn't clear.hedonist said:
