Abstinence makes the brain grow smaller

3 things I try to avoid in conversations is Politics, Religion and Medicine. But I'm gonna have to jap down on 2 of these non-political topics today.

I had 2 conversations recently, one was about relationships and the other was facebook chatter about a purity ring (I thought "I Will Wait" was a reference to The Rapture. Who knew, eh?)

In convo 1, I made a comment about how Sex is made out to be this giant, magnificent, clusterfucked ball of unity between two souls at all times and really sometimes it's just a commercial unit available for trade in goods (which is why I support the stance of legalizing, regulating and taxing Prostitution, but that's for another post)

While I was called cynical for stating this (as we all know, cynicism is in the same aisle and on the same shelf as realism and pessimism)
What I'm saying is that as amazing of a feeling that you get from Sex, it's just like eating a delicious meal or watching a great game, It's not going to be that wonderful every single time. Nor is it going to be with the same amount of meaning every time.


We all need to keep our genitals out of harm's way and be safe, but just because you don't drive a car, doesn't mean you can't be in an accident. The extremity of no sex doesn't help promote the necessary lesson that is Safe Sex. The "all or none" mentality that has been taken by many upon many of today's youth has led to inept education and sheer ignorance of sexual health and consequences and has been shown in the spike of STI's and Children born within the last couple of decades.

I feel that if we stop putting sex on this mighty hill of measurement within a relationship, then not only will we be safer physically by taking a fresh view on it, but we will save ourselves emotionally for the things that really count in a relationship. Sexual compatibility is a key factor in dating, but it's not the main factor in a healthy, solid, loving relationship.

If you want to fuck away, have fun and feel free, just bag it up(men), wash the pill down (ladies) and keep your junk clean everyone.
