So. We’re on our way to Guard this morning and this sophomore mentions how she got some “bootay” over the weekend. Now normally I’m all for freedom of sexual expression, blah blah. HOWEVER, said sophomore is only 15(Sorry, 15 and 1/2 as she felt the need to clarify). And I know for a fact that she has been dating said sexual partner for less than 6 months. All I could even think was WHAT THE FUCK!? I mean, granted, I wasn’t quite as innocent as a 15 year old should be at that age. But honestly, it’s friggin ridiculous. Maybe it’s just how I am. I don’t understand how or why someone would want to be THAT intimate with someone that they don’t have crazy deep feelings for. How is it that I am almost 18, have been in more than one serious committed relationship, and have yet to do the nasty? I mean….. I need to use both hands to count how many people have offered or tried to in the past. Hell I almost need both hands to count everyone that would if given the chance now. So what makes us different?
I think that this attitude that young people are taking towards sex is scary as shit. No wonder so many girls today are having abortions or children. Don’t they always warn you that having sex does not make the relationship stronger, it won’t fix problems or be a magic bonding tool. It just makes everything that much more complicated. I don’t know…it’s just messing with me. That its such a blazé thing in todays world. That something that involves having another persons body part INSIDE of you is just a casual thing.
Just thought I’d share this scary experience with the great internets.
Oh, and I don’t remember if I’ve ever mentioned this….but the mindset of today’s youth is awful to hear. The idea of never thinking about getting tested, or having sex without protection is idiotic. I’ve honestly met people who really believed that the pull out method was genius and only went by that because everything else was “a bother”. You know whats a bigger bother? Having a child come out of your vagina. I figure having less sensation or remembering to take a pill at the same time each day is far less of an inconvenience than having a child. Especially with someone who you’re obviously not ready to have one with. I like to go by this rule: If you can’t talk rationally about the act in question, then you shouldn’t be doing. If you can’t even say the words without getting embarrassed or you aren’t informed about what it is that you want or think you want to do then you obviously aren’t mature enough to handle the emotions and extra baggage that come with having that added into the equation. Problem solved.
