    Why is "discretion" needed on an Internet forum whereby someone can't say the word penis. Seems more like childishness than discretion to me.

    I don't see the problem with the word 'penis' either, it is just the correct name for a body part.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    I dislike the indirectness of it, as if it is shameful to say penis or one's preference for a particular size and shape of penis.

    I think you're talking about penises a bit too much ;)

    1) You're 20, still basically a teenager and chock-full of hormones. I guarantee you that in a few years when that's levelled off somewhat you'll probably find that you don't have quite as high a sex-drive as you thought you did.

    2) What if all your wife wants to do is peg you every night for the next 40 years? Or conversely - and possible given your target group - she decides that she doesn't really like sex all that much and will only have sex for procreation? Sex is not just about 'doing anything' for someone (unless you're really submissive in bed), but also about enjoying yourself and letting someone else enjoy you - no amount of romantic novels and frank conversations can actually substitute for experience in this and by assuming that 'oh but we love each other' is enough you are basically rolling the dice on having a happy, fulfilling life (of which sex is a part of).


    3) You're arguing from complete ignorance and naivety. The vast majority of people who've replied in this thread and avoided the religious aspect have told you this is not a great idea. If you're not prepared to accept the answers don't keep asking the same question. People should not be attacking your Catholicism, but if you're not prepared to actually consider the alternatives because of your religious beliefs then why even ask in the first place?
    I didn't ask if it was the right thing to do. I asked would many girls wait until marriage. So I don't know what you are on about.

    I don't think one would be on their deathbed concerned they never had sex if that was the case.
    You can't make a judgement by saying one is wasting their life on organised religion, it works very well for some people and is a source of happiness in itself.

    My thinking exactly.

    You didn't answer the pegging question. :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,106 ✭✭✭catallus


    I'm presuming that the vast majority of women wouldn't be into something which was invented by pornography producers.

    Eh...
    I wonder if I can find a girl that will wait for me.

    I am just looking for people's opinions really. Thanks

    Be careful what you wish for...

    Opinions on my question. Where is the misunderstanding?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    Silverman since you're back, can you answer this?
    would you just hold off on full intercourse? What about other sexual things? Where do you draw the line?

    What other non-missionary straight-sex acts do you believe were invented by pornography producers?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 560 ✭✭✭Philo Beddoe


    I wouldn't be into that but I don't think many of the girls I am into would be into it either.

    How do you know?

    We should start a thread on it :)

    In fairness, he has answered that already.

    Okay well I don't know for definite yet. However what is the difference in oral, mutual masturbation and intercourse really. It all has the same outcome.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,562 ✭✭✭eyescreamcone


    What about masturbation by yourself??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare

    Then why would you do one before marriage and not the other?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭Silverman11

    That is one thing I think is alright because we need a release. I also hope God will forgive me because if I felt I didn't have to do it then I wouldn't.

    That's the thing. It is either all or none and at the moment it is none.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 58,456 ✭✭✭✭ibarelycare


    I think it's strange when religious people pick and choose what rules they should follow with their religion, because they "think something is ok". If god would forgive you for masturbating, why wouldn't he forgive you for having sex?

    I do think you're a very naive thinking that if you meet "the one" then your sex life will be good when you get married because you love each other. That's not how it works unfortunately!

    You're very young though, good luck to you whether you stick with this choice or not!

    I am not picking and choosing. I feel that I need to masturbate as i'm sure many people do due to urges but sex with a woman is not needed but wanted. As I have said my decision to wait until marriage is not only based on my Religion (because some say it is ok) but also on my personal reasons yet a lot of people are ignoring that part and attacking my Religious beliefs (not particularly talking to you)


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,562 ✭✭✭eyescreamcone


    We are animals with sexual needs.
    Some religions try to poke their noses into our sex lives. This is unnatural.

    However, each to their own. I would imagine you'll be masturbating a lot as women have needs too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 264 ✭✭Silverman11


    One thing I find interesting though is i know a lot of lads that have been with their first girlfriend for years and they are happy. Which means that sexual compatibility isn't much of a problem or are they just all lucky?

    Life tends to be lovely when you're in your early twenties and you don't have kids or a mortgage.

    You are picking and choosing. Masturbation is a sin according to the Catholic church right? So you're choosing to commit that sin, but not premarital sex.


    And I understand it's frustrating that people are attacking your beliefs, but that pretty much stopped a good few pages back. It's interesting that you're focusing mainly on the posts about religion and not as much on the non-religious reasons that people think your choice is a bad idea.

    That comparison doesn't really make sense. If they weren't sexually compatible they probably wouldn't still be together. They have the opportunity to find that out before making the commitment of marriage, whereas you won't.

    People generally are a bit more reluctant to let go of their first love. It's hard enough to actually accept the fact that there are other people out there.

    Some of the worst relationships I've known are the people involved's first remotely serious one, they're also usually the ones that have no end in sight.

    EDIT: NOT SAYING THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE! There's also other factors involved such as how awkward it is to maintain a proper serious relationship in your teens and early 20s, probably further beyond that too really.

    So everyone should have kids and wait until they are in their mid thirties so they can judge their sex lives then?

    I have made my decision based on my personal situation. I wasn't asking for people to justify sex before marriage. I simply mentioned at the start that my beliefs were one reason I was waiting and people fixated on it. All I wanted to know if people knew many girls that may have waited or would wait for a guy.

    My point is that they ARE compatible with their first girlfriends. So incompatibility might not be as common as most people make out and it may be due to reasons that I won't have.

    My friends are really happy at the moment.

    Well no, you asked for people's opinions on your situation.

    Yes but they are still together BECAUSE they are compatible. Whereas if they weren't compatible, they wouldn't have to end a marriage (or stay stuck in an unhappy one), they would just have to end a relationship. I don't know how common or uncommon sexual incompatibility is, but as a 29-year-old woman I know from personal experience, and experiences of my friends, that it is more common than you seem to believe.

    That is not what I meant at all. That is not it at all...

    Dude, I haven't turned 26 yet. I don't have kids or any real responsibilities. It's fantastic.

    I merely presented a flaw in your anecdotal "evidence". My opinion is that young couples who've been together since their teens live in a very different world to older couples with all kinds of other pressures besides what sexy thing they're going to try next.

    In seriousness tho, I don't see the difference between your cum in a tissue or in some girl.

    Sure isn't it all "wasted seed" and "sinful" when it's not for procreation only, so you're commiting just a big a sin by masturbating. No ifs or buts about it, your bible says so.
