    OP. You say that you have a high sexual drive, but if you are a virgin, then how can you be sure?


    Ah come on. Really?

    Have you ever broken up with a partner because you were sexually incompatible?

    Yes.

    Funny, in my country, we want to girls sex, but get married to only virgins

    Enough already.

    The preaching is not welcome on any side.
    Exactly, why do people feel the need to attack other people's beliefs.

    I've said nothing about it causing a breakdown of marriage, again a scare crow. It's quite clear you have to resort to personal insults to get your point across.

    An intelligent person will be aware that intelligence consists of much more than been clever. Perhaps you should gain some understanding of the terms you utilise

    How much wood could a wood-chuck chuck.

    What personal insults?

    Stop your obfuscating!

    Have you ever broken up with a partner because you were sexually incompatible?

    No but I haven't gone back to women I've had one or two encounters with due to not been compatible, and that is why it never got to the relationship stage. So imagine if I did abstain and married one of these women, I'd be up the creek, and my paddle wouldn't work:):)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,079 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Yes.


    I actually didn't mean to quote you on that question :p

    But since you're here, so there was no other issues, it was purely on sex? no other reasons. Of course you don't have to give details or even answer.

    Il agree to disagree with you Catallus.

    Some posts my have got lost in translation, and we seem to be having a miscommunication of sorts.

    Can we still be friends??:):)

    Question for the OP.

    Is it going to be all sexual contact you're going to wait until marriage for, or would stuff like oral and mutual masturbation be on the table?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,056 ✭✭✭_Redzer_


    What sexual compatibility are people on about? If I marry a girl then I will love her which will be a good start. I have a high sex drive and I would do anything for my future wife in the bedroom so I can't see me being the problem. I know all this without having sex so why can't the woman?

    And what if she has an extremely low sex drive? Major compatibility problem right there.

    And because you've never had sex before, you might have hugely different ideas of what a high sex drive entails. She could go yeah, I've a high sex drive, that to her could mean 3 times a weeks, whereas it's 3 times a day for you.

    What if she has fetishes or grows some once she starts having sex and pushes you right out of your comfort zone?

    This is all like buying an old house without having a structural engineer evaluate it. This doesn't make any sense and can lead to such avoidable problems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,202 ✭✭✭partyguinness


    Do you really think you should be taking advice from the Catholic Church on sex and marriage? Two matters they know nothing about?

    :pac:

    Yup, purely on sex, nothing else. I fancied thr pants off of him, but after two years of dreadful sex, I ended up avoiding sex entirely for a while. That's when I realised it wouldn't work, so I left.

    I presume the parents of the priests were married and they saw how their parents marriage worked or didn't work.
    Sex is like breathing, it is not some huge mystery.

    Now that's how to end a disagreement amicably. Fair Play :)

    Yeah because I think they aren't much different intercourse. Just my opinion.

    Maybe the OP should pay somebody else to ride his potential future wife, make sure she's structurally sound like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭we'llallhavetea


    If that's what makes you happy op, off you go! Personally I find it bizarre and do not know a living soul on this earth that would thank you for "saving" yourself for them. It creeps me out, it's a tad intense to me.

    I feel sorry for the OP.

    From the moment he mentioned that he was a Catholic he has come under sustained and constant criticism, verbal abuse, and the focus of general Catholic/religion bashing. As per usual on boards.ie

    OP, if you want to wait, that's your call best of luck to you, hopefully you will meet a lady who shares the same outlook in life as you.

    I really do not see the difference between the OP who has chosen to wait, and a consenting adult couple who engage in extreme S&M bondage. Different strokes, different folks.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,070 ✭✭✭✭pq0n1ct4ve8zf5


    More power to you OP, it's not a lifestyle I'd personally agree with but if you're happy with it and able to stick to your guns then fair play. This isn't sex before marriage being enforced and stigmatised in a repressive Catholic dominated society, you're making a free choice because of your personal beliefs. It's really no skin of anybody else's nose and the stick you've been getting in this thread is just pathetic, it's the exact kind of shít that gives all atheists a bad name.

    I wouldn't be too pessimistic about your chances of finding a similarly minded girl either, though you are limiting your options and a girl you might otherwise be mad about could see this as a deal-breaker and you'll have to respect that. Surely there's Christian dating sites though? If you're in college there's probably Christian societies too. Good luck with it anyways :)

    My future wife comes before me. I would be more interested in pleasing her in the bedroom then myself. Same goes for everyday life with any women i'm in a relationship with.


    Ah bless your little cotton socks. So cute...:o

    Don't worry I was also like that when I was 20. It won't last. Trust me...;)

    I would do it whenever my future wife wants to do it and if I meet a woman the same as me then there is no problem as regards compatibility.

    See, i think that's actually a positive thing.

    The sooner religion becomes entirely and utterly a subject of ridicule the better.

    Interestingly, Marcel Proust said much the same about the underlying psychology of sexuality.

    He had a long beautiful passage in Swann's Way about how people who indulge in S&M do it because they are so overawed by the transcendent nature of love and sex that they try to blind themselves to it through pain and punishment, which is the other side of the coin to the abstention approach.

    But he might have put it in a better way than that.:p
