| quote: | | And Renegade you mentioned something about extinguishing all desires. If that was in reference to abstinence then you may misunderstand what abstinence is. Abstinence is not a distinguishing of those desires but rather one having control over them. And most people let the desire for sex control their actions rather then their mind. |
Yes, but regardless of what you're abstaining from, abstinance is still just the act of saying "no" to something, because you feel that indulging in that "something" is in some way risky. All I'm saying is, is that so long as you proceed with significant caution, there really are extremely few situations where the risk of STD's or unwanted pregnancy should stop you from having sex with someone. So long as you excersise caution, and you are comfortable with sleeping with this person (you're not just sleeping with them because you feel you have to) then I really can't think of any situation where abstinance (i.e. saying "no") should be used as a contraception. The tiny risk of adverse consequences when engaging in safe sex, is far outweighed by the benefits.
I guess what I'm saying is that caution and preparedness are far more efficient ways of avoiding STD's than that of abstinance (in any shape or form). If they'd teach kids how to be cautious and prepared when they do have sex instead of just telling them not to do it until they're married, then we wouldn't have problems on the same sort of magnitude that we have them now.
And I guess we're not on the subject, but I feel the same way about drugs. I mean I don't use them, but I still think that just telling people to abstain from using them isn't going to work, you've got to do your best to warn them of the risks and just make sure that they're prepared enough, so that when and if they do use them, they know how to do it responsibly without causing harm to themselves or anyone else. This is only in reference to drugs like amphetimines, marijuana, ecstacy, lsd's etc. by the way, which are, so far as we can tell, no more dangerous than alcohol. By banning these types of drugs, which are fairly safe so long as they are regulated properly, and pushing the "abstinance" line, governments are just making a hundered times more dangerous than they need to be - and I guess it's a similar sort of thing with sex. So long as you know what you're doing, abstinance shouldn't be an issue
Actually, reading back, I think we're kinda saying the same thing twilochik, just in a different way. Oh well........

i'll agree with Renegade on a conceptual level, but i have to agree with Twilo that the reality is alot of people cant handle the responsiblity of sex at a young age. i'm not trying to push abstinance, and i dont think Twilo was saying that all kids should wait till they're married either.
i first slept with a girl at the age of 14. i look back now and realise it might have been better to wait until my first serious relationship which started when i was 17. i'm not an ignorant, uneducated person, but the fact is, when you are that age, you can get overly excited and not take the proper precautions all the time. at least thats what seemed to happen to me and most of my friends. luckily i didnt catch anything or get someone pregnant, but i cant say the same for some of the people i went to high-school with.
even though there is sex-ed in school, there is still alot of people that aren't very knowledgeable in the subject for whatever reason. as an example, i'll admit this girl is pretty dense, but i'll offer it anyway. there was a girl i knew when i was 15 or 16 that thought that she could get pregnant by giving a blowjob. LOL, but im sure there is more than 1 person that is this retarded.
im not trying to preach any christian beliefs either, im an atheist, and consider myself open-minded and tolerant of diferent beliefs/opinions than mine. i think there are alot of young people that can handle the responsibility, but i can guarantee there are alot that cant comprehend there are serious consequences. i've never abstained and i would never have listened to my parents or anyone else if they tried to tell me to, so im not trying to change anyones behaviour at all, just offering another perspective. im very careful these days and thats all the advice i'll give. all of this is IMHO and based on my experiences grownig up in CA. (hehe, my little disclosure statment so i cant get flamed)
