Thoughts on Sex

[ExhibitG]

i've been meaning to publish my thoughts on sex lately, just so I can open it up for debate. so here it goes.

as a teenager, i do not want to have sex. i would feel incredibly irresponsible. why? i'm terribly worried that i would end up getting the girl pregnant and having a child. i know that there are pills and condoms, but nothing is 100% proven to prevent babies. even if it's 99.999% proven, i don't care. it's not worth the risk if it means there's the slightest possibility i won't be able to provide for a child.

obviously at my age, i'm not financially capable to take care of a child, so i do not plan on having sex for that reason. pleasure is nice, but there are other means of getting it. also, at least for me, abortion is absolutely out of the question. so is putting up the kid for adoption. both are just running away from the consequences of the action.

do i plan on waiting for marriage for sex? probably not. i plan on waiting until i'm financially capable to support a kid. this way, if i do have sex and use a condom and what not, in the very slim chance that the girl does end up getting pregnant by accident, we'll be prepared.

feel free to debate and discuss my opinions and provide your own. :)

Well.. I certainly don't have to worry about having kids, but everything you have said is valid. I just think that 99.9999% would be enough for me, but I'm also pro-choice and pro-adoption. I'm concerned about disease though. To the point I might ask a potential boyfriend to get tested first.

Like you, I'm not going to have intercourse with a girl until I'm financially able to support a child. Or they come out with 24-hour sterilizers and super-condoms.

Other than that, you can't have a kid with a guy, so I'm safe there, save for disease.

And I'm definitely going to have sex out of wedlock. That much is for certain. :lol:

Well put.

I do fully agree with you. I don't think anyone should start having sex unless they fully understand the possible consequences and are prepared for those consequences to happen.

I also think that there's little value in the saving yourself shit. It's nice, but unrealistic, and a ring and a certificate doesn't change anything anyway. "We signed a piece of paper, now we're allowed to have sex." Uh, lol? :P Sure, if she gets pregnant then you're married and secure, but there's no difference in the validity of the sex whether you're in a five-year committed relationship or a marriage that occurred after six months.

It helps when you're gay and not sexually attracted to men though. Though I lost my virginity to a man I've had no desire for straight sex in a verrrry long time. I'm as well quite safe now, especially since I'm dating a girl. :P

It is a very rational thing to do, if you have decided that you would not till you are financially able to.
And not many are able to see the way you see it, although it is the right of way.

Yes, i truly agree that you need not be married to have sex, but u need to be able to afford regardlessly, the cost of living is getting higher as the years go by, and every dollar we are saving is losing out to inflation every year, so bad that even the bank's interest is unable to cope with the rising inflation anyway.

In Singapore the average cost of rising a child from infant till 18 can eazily snowball to the cost of half a million.
And with the standard of living and cost only escalating, i would eazily project it to cost 700 in another 5 years.

I am against the idea of abortion and adoption as well.
A moment of pleasure can cost me 5 - 7, now that is a good excuse for me not to do it; For now...
