Ok, So I was watching an Onision video on youtube.....I generally do not like him or any of his views, so I stopped watching his videos a long time ago. I was bored and his name came to mind, so I watched this one video that got me thinking....... He was talking about losing your virginity. His view is that your virginity and having sex is pretty much basically a sacred thing. Wait for someone really special, and then even then, think twice about it.. I realize his view is alot like most super duper religious people.

*Disclaimer.....Everyone has their own views. They are legally and generally entitled to their own views on life's own problems and everyday occurances.

My question to you all is: Do you think losing your virginity and overall, having sex, should be as huge of a deal as it's cracked up to be? I will share my opinion now.

If you think about it, having sex has two very big risks. Number one is producing a child, and number two is getting diseases and STDs. Those are obvious and everyone knows about them......There are also many ways to prevent those. There are certain ways that prevent them 100% (not abstinence).................think about that, while also thinking about this: What sport, or recreational activity, or fun activity, or any day to day activity has no risks? From skydiving and bodysuit flying to walking or swinging on a swing, everything we do has risks. a lot of the things we eat/drink are bad for us. There are risks involved with everything. The best thing we can do is prevent the risks right? Helmets for things that have head injury risks....pills for chemical risks.......

Right. With all that being said. Yes there are two main risks to having sex, but those can be prevented almost to 100% with modern safety techniques, pills, etc....I say, if you understand the risks, and you at least try to prevent unwanted things from happening, ALONG WITH a willing partner who also understands the risks, It should not be a huge deal. For all I care, it can be just another activity done for just the sheer pleasure of it. If two people want to feel good, and both are willing with knowledge of consequences, go ahead and have sex...........

I realize that I strayed from the initial topic, and I'm not sure If I came back to it in the end, but even still. I think I had some good thoughts in there. If you understood what I was trying to get at, tell me your thoughts. Everyone has their opinion.

It's as sacred as you want it to be. Case solved.

It's as sacred as you want it to be. Case solved.

This is a pretty good way to sum up my thoughts on this.

If you're somebody who wants to wait until you find the right one or save it for your husband to take from you, then so be it. If you're somebody who doesn't care about that and loses it at any time, younger or older, then so be it. It's as sacred as you make it, you value as much as you care about it. Some more than others, some not at all.

I don't judge people by whether they're a virgin or not lol. It doesn't bother me, as long as they had consensual sex and they were over the age of consent. However... I plan on keeping my virginity until I die...

about as sacred as learning to drive, passing your exams, being old enough to drink alcohol... its just like another growing up milestone. to me anyway. like important but not what i would call sacred. so no, i don't think its as huge a deal as its cracked up to be.

i do pretty much agree with your view, that it probably should be a massive deal because of the potential risks involved, but like you said you can pretty much remove those risks. so its all good.

I don't think it's nearly as sacred as it was before, but it's still something that people care about an awful lot, probably a little more than they really should (assuming it's consensual.)

Where I come from, 13 year old virgins are about as common as rocking horse poo. Is virginity sacred? Depends on morality doesnt it?

Not very sacred to me, as I already don't have it anymore.

Virginity isn't important, losing it is about as important to me as eating my first pizza.

Eh I think the first time one does something so intimate with another person has signification, although not so much that I wouldn't have done it with a non-virgin.

I think it's just a romantic thing, two lovers jumping into greater intimacy and unknown territory together. It's a sweet thought but not much more. I'm glad I lost my virginity with another virgin, if only because I'm a huge sentimentalist, but I understand opposite point of views.

Now waiting until marriage is lol. I don't need to promise to da Lawd that I will take care of my girlfriend to do so, and I don't need a covenent to da Lawd before making love to make it significant and special.

I don't judge people but I want my first time to be something special. After all you only get to lose your virginity once.

I dont think it is 'sacred', but I dont think it is worth protecting for too long. You'll have to get rid of it one day and it just isn't worth all the debates and what not. What you do with it is your choice, as long as you acknowledge the consequences.

I'm proud to still be a virgin. I'm gay, so I want the first time I go all the way with another boy to be special.
